Of course there is. Phony concern over the impact of
high gasoline prices and hypocrisy in that they would
charge $6.00 per gallon if they get a chance.

Bzzzzttt!!!! I'm discussing the phony concern and
the hypocrisy. Joe Lunchbucket isn't going to feel
less of an impact on his budget if $3.00 per gallon
tax is slapped on ("Oh, it's going to infrastruture?
Then I guess I won't notice the pinch"). Riiiight.
You really can't stay on topic, can you? The impact
of $6.00 price per gallon of gasoline either exists
or it doesn't. Since the left adores the high prices
in Europe, concern over high prices here are phony.
You have no real thoughts on this. If you don't,
then say so. Care to do that? Never mind
-- your
silence is deafening.
