Will Senator McCain's "gas tax holiday" be helpful to you personally?
"This week, I laid out an economic plan aimed at providing immediate and long-term relief for all American families. One of the key components of this plan is a suspension of the federal gas tax on gasoline from Memorial Day to Labor Day of this year.The effect of this "gas tax holiday" will be an immediate economic stimulus - taking a few dollars off the price of a tank of gas every time you fill up. And because the cost of gas affects the price of food, packaging and just about everything else, this immediate step will spread economic relief to every family in America.".....John McCain

Your answers read: smart person?! But the brunt of your conversation is "hog-wash". You, like so many others out there, choose to ignore the past associations of Obama (either that - or you do not care).
Iran's leader says the holocaust didn't happen. And wants to "wipe the Jews from the face of the earth"? Obama has close ties to these folks - yet you are willing to see this race decimated again - for your $1000 back in taxes?
You should not call yourself an "American". -

That is what McObam is about.. Big government.. -

Gas prices are getting lower and better without Mc Cain. But I must tell you MC Cain plans to tax working peoples health insurance benefits for the first time. He proposes to replace a benefit worth about $12.000 for an active worker with tax creidts worth $5000 for a family and $2.500 for an individual. Mc Cain/ Palin want to extend the tax give a ways to big corporations and the top 2% WEALTHIEST people in America. They want to cut the Capital gains tax, the lions share of which is paid by MILLIONAIRES. They want to continue the WAR in Iraq at a cost of 12 BILLION per MONTH and all this spending will add TRILLIONS to already ernomous national debt (which was a surPLUS eight years ago) Mc Cain wants to cut Medicare by 1,3 TRILLION over the next 10 years, The result: It will make it harder to get the medical care one needs more Doctors will stop accepting medicare patiens. Mc Cain has a history of advocating Social Security CUTS and he has pushed a privatization plan that could have left retired people even more devasted by recent economic downturn. Mc Cains policy puts our nations retirement safety net at RISK. MC Cain has a record of promoting less financial regulation. That is not what the country needs right now. Our children and grandchildren will be paying with a life ti...Gas prices are getting lower and better without Mc Cain.

Our children and grandchildren will be paying with a life time of debt if Mc Cain is elected. Younger Americans will never achieve the standard of living that your generation enjoyed. Perhaps that is the reason why Senator Obama is so popular among the young voters. They get the picture. Vote for Obama(less) -

John mccain is definitley the choice for our next president. He couldn't be any more clearer by letting us know that this country will be resolved. Yes to lower gas prices! Yes to extra child tax credit. Yes to 5,000 for any insurance we choose. Mccain 08! -

I'm not a Republican and I am not a Democrat, I am an American,
We have one practical choice for the position of Commander in Chief of U.S.A.
If we had more to choose from it may be a different answer: However" John McCain is the man for the position, hands down, any other opinion is just that! We cannot afford to allow the misrepresentation of the citizens of the United States be dictacted by the media, and politically driven, deep pocket socialists. We haven't lost the battle yet, but we are close to surrendering ourselves to becoming something we will surely regret. Is there a text book nation in the world that we would want to mirror? -

think your quesitons are bias to obama. need to provide more bi-partisan comments. you are obviously trying to get people to vote for obama when all you have to say about him is the bump good, and yet McCain's attempt to try to help our citizens is at least better than just giving a bump... :(
Sad that our citizens will even think of someone so unqualified as obama!!!! -

savings is savings. The argument against the gas tax holiday is 'road and bridge construction and maintanance'. If 'our wounderfoul congress' is so concerned with the people and the safety of our roads and bridges, let them cut their salaries to 1980 levels, and use that difference to 'spur the economy'.

Gas prices affects us all but lowering the gas prices for a holiday isn;t enough. because when the holiday's are over. Everyone has to go back to their normal routine of getting the kids to school, getting themselves to work, getting the kids to their sports events and practices. things go back to the normal, so a few days of lowered gas prices means that i enjoy lowered gas prices for a few days. Now that reality kicks back in what do we do about higher gas prices -

I would vote for McCain because he has integrity, and I believe that he will change things. I vote for McCain because I prefer to vote for a man who physically is unable to place his hand over his heart during the national Anthem rather than a man who makes a choice not to do so because of some reason that only he knows. I prefer a man who loves his country rather than a person's whose wife is only now proud to be an American and who says that America is a mean country. I prefer to vote for a man and his vice president because together they will make a change, and I prefer to vote for a man who I can trust. Trust is something that I do not feel with Obama. -

Absolutey! if McCain wins the election, the government wont need that money anyways cause he will cut away all of the liberals wasteful spending, especially the spending by governent officials to help themselves, rather than our great country. -

absolutely! Senator McCain is a smart man of integrity we can trust..excuse me..has he not proven how much he is willing to sacrifice for the betterment of you and me and our country?! How many of you would do the same? With Sara Palin at his side..we will have rational people who seriously want to cut the crap out of the political machine..(in which Barack is totally engulfed in..owes his power to all those celebrities who fund him and doesn't have a mind of his own).
We must continue to fight the terrorism that controls the oil markets and focus on generating new technology and energy ourselves.
The smart car may work fine in small cities..but consider all the huge semi's that we must travel with..we either have to have a truck only lane or find another avenue besides trucking because it seriously damages our roads and it would be insanely unsafe to be in a teeny tiny little car while these trucks on are on the same road. Safety is a factor that most people (people that want to live) must consider.
That is why we are still buying suv's despite the prices..safety.
So..while the smart car may work some places it doesn't work in rural america.. -
