Re: Congress wants to raise gas taxes
that would just about doom Obama's chances. I hope the dems try it.

Re: Congress wants to raise gas taxes
It would have no effect because the Communist News Network (CNN) would report it in 6pt font on the lower right hand corner of their website.

They just overhear the drama from CNN while they are channel surfing.
