Shot In The Dark: He Wanted to Raise Gas Prices - Before He Wanted to Lower Them

He Wanted to Raise Gas Prices - Before He Wanted to Lower Them

John Kerry has spent the week condemning the administration for...gas prices.

The same John Kerry that, a month ago, proposed a 50 cents/gallon gas tax.

He also opposed tapping the nation's strategic oil reserve - saying it was a bad idea in a time of terrorism.

As if we're going to fight the war on terror the same way we fought World War II and planned to fight World War III - with fleets of conventional tanks cruising about the North German Plain.

Mitch, I hate to keep ragging on you, but please source your claim that Kerry proposed a gas tax hike "a month ago". As far as I am aware, Kerry's "proposal" occured in the early nineties, and he has spent months attempting to clarify/deny his support for such an increase. If he had reversed himself recently, and once again promoted a gas tax hike, I believe we would have heard about it.

Fair enough - brain fade on my part.

Will update shortly.
