...and you're all for it. We went to war over **** like this. Glad to see you're living up to your persona. You'll be the first one lined up in the sights.

What makes you think I am all for it? I actually HATED that but I can see them doing it.

Why do you girls keep bitching about stuff that's old news. Obama came out against this idea yesterday. Who do you ask came out with the idea? Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, a former REPUBLICAN congressman!

Stop blaming Obama for ideas that come from REPUBLICANS, like Comrade (Sen) Lindsey Graham who has proposed that the Fed Gov't NATIONALIZE BANKS! Where's the outrage about that? Talk about socialism, but of course since he's a REPUBLICAN; I won't read anything about that here will I

If you honestly believe this, the I suggest you post it rather than come on other threads and complain that others aren't doing so...

Where are the 'Outrages' ????

You really don't read our post too awful much do you ?????

There is nothing but OUTRAGE over what our Government is doing to us and it is fairly well Bitched about on here in fine fashion.

And as far as the Differences in Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and all other forms of Diseased Flotsam go, I am an Equal Opportunity hater of ALL the Ineffective and Criminal Politicians; party affiliation be damned.

If you believe that most Conservatives are simply "In Love" with the Republican Party, you are sorely misinformed and surely don't need to be posting in an Adult Arena of Ideas.

** State solution you ask? Tax something else, preferably not related to smoking or health in general.

So, lets take the mileage example

Driving causes road problems

So state encourages people to drive less

:mysterymachine:

I am seeing a property tax on your car. :) It is already being done in Connecticut.

Georgia has a personal property tax on vehicles as well.... and I file my protest every year and usually get the tax cut by 20-25%

Soon coming to a state near you, taxing the AIR a car burns and each molecule of CO2 exhausted into the Government's air. IF WE CAN COUNT IT, WE CAN TAX IT.

I'd read it if there was more intelligent reasoned content in them instead of let's all bash Obama.

Then why do the wingnuts keep voting republican? Why not start your own national conservative party if that's what your principles are?

Same reason liberals wont start their own party. You spit the vote and hand elections to the opposition.

At least the per gallon gasoline tax rewards fuel efficiency. Another example of Obama surrounding himself with incompetent idiots who couldn't find their own #$$ with both hands.

No Republican ever nominated Ray Lahood for Sec of Trans. It took a Democrat to make that mistake.

He had a poor record as a conservative, being one of only 3 Republicans to vote against the Contract with America, and never did anything of note in Transportation.

Of course, he IS from Illinois.
