Stupid Democrat Political Tricks

A campaign stunt by Democrat Dan Seals, a candidate for the 10th district U.S. House seat in Illinois, seems to have backfired in a most predictable fashion. The candidate, in what might appears to be a fairly naked attempt at bribing voters, offered to reimburse motorists who drove into a gas station in the district, the difference between the current price per gallon ($4.15) and the price per gallon when his opponent, Congressman Mark Kirk, came to office ($1.85).
What the stunt produced was a massive traffic jam, and many angry motorists. And of course, the motorists stuck in traffic were burning their fuel while idling, going nowhere. Someone needs to contact Al Gore, so he is aware that a fellow Democrat is needlessly contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, not to mention the balance of payments deficit.

Shoot, I missed that too.
I guess that'll learn me to answer from my email.... well, probably not.
As the democrats would say, it is the thought that counts...

I think there should be an intelligence test for politicians before they can run for office... one that is heavily weighted in the use of basic common sense.
One thing this Seals does not recognize is that government does not set prices nor to they control the economy... although excessive government regulation and interference does.
If the government wants the gas prices and everything else to go done, a really good start would be to get out of the way of business,and the economy would take off.
As to the rest... neither Al Gore nor the rest of the democrats give a damn about the environment.
All they are interested is the increased taxes and government power that environmental issues represent.
