We've already enumerated the reasons why the gas-tax holiday proposed by John McCain and seconded by Hillary Clinton is a preposterous idea: 1) "it offers taxpayers only peanuts"--$30 per car for the summer--which</description><dc:language>en</dc:language><generator>CommunityServer 2.1 SP2 (Debug Build: 2.18)</generator><item><title>re: Giving the People What They Want</title><link>http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/05/01/giving-the-people-what-they-want.aspx#361420</link><pubDate>Fri, 02 May 2008 03:03:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:361420</guid><dc:creator>Linoq</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;In a democracy, people have theu leaders they deserve. They could not see thru the fog that Bush would be a calamity, they re-elected him: They deserve the mess we are right now. If they elect Clinton it will be the very same thing! Sorry to say but if this is the case 4 years from now I will come back to say: You deserve it!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Neither of those assertions is all that hard to believe after the last six months.&lt;/p&gt;
