John McCain vs. Barack Obama on Gas Taxes

[killacamtay]

whooooaaa he thinks its a bad idea cause it didnt work when he voted for it.Thanks for this informative video. Lame mccain supporters

Why do you think Obama thinks its a bad idea? Because it didn't work when he voted for it. He has experience in this area. This video is the worst form of propaganda, because it's so censored. Someone said previously that it only showed 15 seconds of the conversation. Yep, very right. Just like Fox News and the other conservative media organizations, its all about taking things out of context.

Your video fails to mention the loss of 7000 jobs and lack of maintainence for roads and bridges that would occur due to the draining of the fund that does that; that fund is supplied by the federal gas tax.

Clinton proposes to keep the roads repaired by filling the fund with money that would otherwise go towards developing alternative energy: the only long term solution to the gas price crisis.

It is an election gimmick and Obama was absolutely right not to pander into it.

Usernames like skdjhfjhse, asdlkfjasdlk and skfhsdfsd don't exactly look like real people posting user-generated content -- and they're not. When asked about it, the RNC admitted that it had made the videos itself and posted them online. Why not post them under the RNC's official YouTube channel? Well, the RNC claims that it's because these weren't television ads, which is also the excuse it gives for not including a "the RNC is responsible for this ad" disclaimer in the videos.

Yep - one reason why a tank of gas costs so much is that the US Dollar is so weak. That's a fact of life: When your currency is weak commodities cost more.

Most Americans do not realize that inflation is a form of taxation, or even wealth confiscation. When the dollars in your savings account buy less than the year before you've become less wealthy - it's much like being taxed.

Wow....... we have some morons on here

First off, Obama wasn't even a Senator in 2008, jesus tap dancing christ on a cross.

Think about Barack Obama every time you goto a gas station, fill up your tank, and want to buy a snack or pack of cigarettes, which he also wants to tax. If it's too expensive, it was Barack Obama who stopped you from getting it.

Every time I fill up at the pump I think of $28 a barrel for oil as it was before we started our wars. That in addition to our printing money causing a devaluing dollar now has it at about $110. All this brought to you by George the II. And McCain is no different.
