Pull the word "Liberal" outta your ass, and we can talk. A stance on a particular issue does not a liberal make.
Or do you want to call JaTo a liberal too?
I'm sure he'd love that.

Why should we as citizens be put in a hard place today if it's only to worry about tomorrow when we can do both. We can lower the prices today, and at the same time begin lessening our reliance on oil.
And you complain about Kerry talking out of both sides of his mouth. You can't get it both ways.

Your Contour gets about 20mpg, why aren't you in a civic hybrid that gets 60mpg?
My 'Tour gets about 32mpg actually. My 6s gets 20 though.
I'm not in a hybrid because I don't want one. I can afford to pay for gas no matter the cost. It wouldn't matter one bit to me if state taxes were doubled on gas, I'd pay a whole $15 more a month.
A small price to pay for the HUGE benefit that would have to our nation's transportation system.

Who are you to tell someone what is or isn't necessary? Thats one of the many great things about living in the U.S. People like you don't tell me what I do or don't need.
You can buy whatever car you want, but you should be prepared to pay for it.

Again, you completely miss my point. I am trying to say that if you quit using gas taxes on things other than the roadways, our roadways could improve without the need to raise taxes.
Prove to me that those tax revenues are spent on other things. Most states, and the Federal government, require that Gas taxes be spent on Highway construction/maintenance. Sure, some is lost in administration, but not enough to acutally LOWER taxes.
Provide research that says we can lower taxes and still maintain our roads, let alone improve them to where we will need to be in the near future.

But then I do see your point; if I was a liberal, I would want to raise taxes too...
And if you were intelligent you could actually frame an argument.
