In the deep dark caverns of the GOP, crafty cayotes are twirling their mustaches and

drooling over the latest plan they are hatching to kill the Obama presidency.

The raising gas prices.

Forget about culture wars, people, look over here and see how the prices at the pump will seal the deal for the GOP!!

Given the fact that average gas consumption has been down for many months, currently supply exceeds demand....it's a fact.

Do you really think the Koch bros., evil Karl Rove and the millions of millionaires are not buying influence with oil producers?

How do we campaign against prices at the pump? I trust no one, and believe that if the GOP can engage in a culture war, they certainly have the wherewithal to help front a gas war.

My bet is on the Democrats. I would wager that regardless of what the Goppers do or say people are going to vote Left this time around again. The grape vine is showing more and more negative opinion of the Gopps day by day. Eight years of George Dublya was enough for a while I think. Maybe for good.

"Muricans are using doing less driving which leads to more supply which in turn leads to higher prices"

"It's the law of supply and demand ya stewpid lib".


I don't know but I think this guy missed an econ class or three.
