Which legislator proposed a measure which would have raised the price of gas in 1986? If you said, "John Kerry because Bush said so," then you'd be wrong. But if you said, "Dick Cheney," give yourself two points. Introducing legislation that would impose a new import tax on gasoline, tricky Dick said, "Let us rid ourselves of the fiction that low oil prices are somehow good for the United States."
Hmm...let's think about this for a second...BC04 criticizes John Kerry for merely suggesting a 50 cent tax on gas back around 1990...but just a few years earlier Dick Cheney said that low prices are bad for the U.S.....well, of course John Kerry is a flip-flopper then! It makes perfect sense!
