the jig is up!

Uggh this presidential race/oil prices/democratic hornswaggle get more frustrating by the minute! Here are some facts for your viewing pleasure. In the first 6 years of the Bush administration gas prices went up by about 50%. Since Democrats took control of Congress 1.5 years ago (or 1/4 of 6 years), gas prices have gone up by MORE THAN 200%. They've doubled! What's better is that without fail time after time after time, 9 of 10 Republicans have voted FOR measures that have the potential of easing the oil strain without being environmentally irresponsible. At the same time without fail 9 of 10 Democrats have voted against these measures. Despite making promises in their run for Congress in 2006 to do something about gas prices. Back then gas was comfortably (though somewhat frustratingly) in the low $2's. Now we're looking at $5 nationwide within the next 3 weeks with no end in sight. YET they seek to blame Bush and the Republicans. I'm not exonerating anyon
