Just out of curiosity, what do you think of HILLARY's suggestion that the government confiscate Exxon's profits and use the money to fund research into alternative fuel sources?

I haven't seen the full transcript of her speech on this, but my sense is that whatever she said will make a lot of sense.

She is too smart to say anything that that does not make sense.

I think Hillary's remarks are similar to those expressed by Hugo Chavez.

I think she's doing what she does best, pander. She learned well from her unprincipled husband, which is to poll, triangulate, then determine what is the position which will best promote her ambitions.

The failed health care proposal Bill gave her to get her out of his hair is a perfect example of what she would push as policy if other considerations were not at stake.
