And Kerry said he is going to raise the Gas tax by 50 cents a gallon
immendiately and another 50 cents a gallon in 6 months. That will

really
help gas prices and the economy.


Unless you can substantiate that with something stronger than "Sean
Hannity
says........", I call bull****

WOW! How ground-breaking!

"As part of his plan to do this, Kerry said he will invest in new
technologies and alternative fuels, and establish a realistic fuel economy
standard coupled with tax incentives for consumers to buy and

manufacturers
to build the efficient vehicles of the future. Specifically, Kerry said

he
will offer $10 billion in new incentives for the American automobile
industry to lead the world in building Advanced Technology Vehicles and
offer consumers a $4,000 tax credit to help them afford the vehicles.

Kerry also said he will help families by managing the strategic petroleum
reserve to protect our security without driving up prices and engaging in
diplomacy to ensure US consumers are not held hostage to instability in

the
Middle East. "

So which part of his plan will lower the price of gas in the immediate
future? And how is his plan different from Bush's?



Consider the opposite: We now have a tax incentive available which included
Hummers. I have no idea when it was enacted, but at the very least, Bush
could interrupt his 18,000th game of Grand Theft Auto and spend a week
eliminating a law which is an embarrassment, considering the current
environment.
