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?

Not so fast, NOYB.

Your side of the fence lobbed a claim that
"Kerry wants to increase gas taxes by 50 cents right away, and then
another 50
cents later on."

Substantiate that, or admit it's bull****, and then the discussion can
move
forward.

Kerry supported Carter's plan to add $0.50/gallon back in 1979.

1994: Kerry Supported Half-Dollar Increase In Gas Tax. (Jill Zuckman,

Globe, 3/1/94)

50-Cent-A-Gallon Gasoline Tax ..." (David Espo, "Kennedy Attacks Carter
On OPEC Price Hikes," The Associated Press, 12/20/79)

Sen. Edward Kennedy Said Plan Would Increase Inflation, Hurt Poor. Sen.
Edward Kennedy (D-MA) said the Carter "proposal to slap a
50-cent-a-gallon tax on gasoline ... would cost the average family $200
a year in 1981. 'The American public is already numb from the soaring
cost of energy,' Kennedy said ... 'Yet the Carter administration is on
the verge of proposing a 50-cent-a-gallon tax on gasoline.' ... Kennedy
said such a tax would add 2 percent to 4 percent to inflation, impose an
unfair burden on the poor, discriminate against areas with poor mass
transit systems and fail to achieve a significant savings in gasoline
consumption. ... 'I oppose any plan to impose a 50-cent-a-gallon gas
tax,' Kennedy said in the statement." (David Espo, The Associated Press,
