Right...I forgot that you are a non-partisan man of the people (the little guys) and not one to blame Obama for every ill currently facing the country. :eek:

The one proposal floating around is for a 10 cent increase....not tripling the tax.

And it has the support of the trucking industry...that recognizes that bottlenecks, congestion, accidents, etc. resulting from deteriorating roads costs truckers $billions/year.

I was taught that if you can answer the question (Who raised them?) with "Him", then you use "Whom", otherwise you use "Who". [/nazi]

Sorry, that dog will not hunt. Obama and non-partisan man of the little people cannot be used in the same sentance. Obama is neither.

I guess we can just ask our resident trucker on the Cellar what he thinks about that. To bad the stimulus that was suppose to fix those problems hasn't worked or your guys would not have to come up with another scheme to screw everyone with new taxes.

point taken. :p

You're the man.... and anyone left of you is a socialist out to screw the people. :thumb:

Nope, I just don't buy your Demoncratic popaganda. But have at it enjoy spewing the Party line. :thumb: :D

In fact, it was the Republican-majority National Commission on Surface Transportation Infrastructure Financing that recommended the 10 cent/ gal increase earlier this year (before Obama took office).

Because they, and every interested observer, recognized that motorists are driving less and buying less gas, which means the taxes that are dedicated to the Highway Trust Fund aren't raising enough money to keep pace with the cost of road/bridge repair and transit programs.

What? for two and a half weeks, not to include holidays? :lol:

And they are as big of dicks as you and your Party are. To bad most of the problems with our roads and bridges are not a Federal issue but a state issue. Which makes your idea sound even more stupid. Tax and spend, tax and spend... How about that stimulus and all those jobs you guys have created. What was the Obama quote?....

Instead of calling people dicks, you might want to read up on the Highway Trust Fund supported by all presidents and both parties in Congress since its inception.

:lol:

I agree it is not gonna happen...that doesnt mean it is not necessary as the Commission acknowledges.

And, the "Democrats are dicks" is just more of your endless partisan rhetoric.

Political advocacy rule number 3 -- When you resort to name-calling and attacking the messenger, rather than addressing the message (policy)....you're credibility is the only thing that suffers.

Political advocacy rule number 4 -- make the case for your position in you own words..and not by flooding the discussion with external links that no one will bother to read. :)

Is that your excuse?

Not partisan. Just obvious.

You obviously don't follow your own rules about gibberish.

I lend credibility to the discussion by quoting those with credentials. You on the other hand really don't have any. None that I can see anyway. You are as faceless and nameless as the rest of us.

I know! that is why you quote the Demoncratic Party line! Why of course... :lol:
