08:37 am - Hillary Offers $30 for Your Vote!

I hate this kind of stupidity, and this is exactly why I don't want Hillary in office.

In a nutshell, Hillary is pushing a summer-long tax holiday on gasoline. I have to believe Obama is right on this: this is nothing but political pandering--offering a short term benefit of maybe $30 in gasoline savings--in order to collect votes. It won't help anything in the long run, so why bother? How stupid must we be if we fall for this? And when Obama doesn't jump on board too, she says he doesn't care about ordinary people. Grrr.

Hillary supporters have called us on the phone three times, interrupting our lives to try to get support for her. I hate that. Obama's supporters have not called us once. So that's another reason why I voted against her this morning.

I don't like to get political, but jeesh. This is ridiculous.
