If this is what passes for political thought and erudition on the Daily Kos, then I am glad I was never a fan. To be frank, the Daily Kos is no different than the fanatical right. Their politics may be different but their approach to politics and their tactics are the same. Abhorrent. Who in the right mind encourages voters of one party to cross over and vote in the other party’s contest so as to disrupt the results? Only the lunacy of Markos and Rush.
This is not the first time I have gotten into a tiff with the kid from Oakland who plainly shows his youth and inexperience by failing to remember facts and details. On Saturday as I investigated the role that the Daily Kos has played in the doctoring of the 1992 Mickey Kantor video (for this story, head over to Larry Johnson’s No Quarter USA, he has all the nasty details of Obama supporter’s desperation), I ran across this little diary by the kid from Oakland Against Hillary: This is Personal. What has the kid from Oakland so enraged? Clinton’s gas tax holiday.
Apparently a gas tax holiday mortgages the future of his nieces and nephews. But as I am tired of this Kid from Oakland spouting off on things he knows nothing about I am going to remind him of one simple fact Barack Obama voted for the Bush-Cheney Energy Plan. That bill, now law, thanks to Senator Obama is what will foreclose on the dreams and aspirations of your nieces and nephews, not a three-month gas tax holiday. I suggest you look it up. Consider this a public service:
Bush-Cheney Energy Bill Impact on Oregon
Obama and Energy Lobbyists
Best Energy Bill Corporations Could Buy
And don’t worry I will be sure to remind Oregonians that it was Obama that voted to put three Federally-mandated LNG terminals in environmentally sensitive areas of Oregon. And not to worry, I will also let them know that Senators Wyden and Senator Clinton have introduced legislation to undo the damage that Barack has done by restoring power to the State of Oregon. Oh and by the way, your Saviour once thought gas tax holidays a good idea.
