Water Cooler

Some brainiac here said recently, that he wouldn't vote for that damned Republican McCain because...

208.58.2.83

...all that idiot cared about was rich SUV owners. This was in reference to McCain's position on eliminating the federal gas tax for the summer.

Never mind that there's never been a more shallow reason to vote for (or against) someone; what does that person say, now that Hillary has come out in favor of the same measure?

Let's hear!
