Gas prices are going higher and higher. What is this Democratic controlled Congress doing about it.

They were critical of high gas prices before the elections of ‘06. Well, what are they doing? What’s their plan?

I look for them to self-destruct before November of ‘08.

What has the Democrats done about anything since they got into office?

They believe that the off chance that an accident might inconvenience a caribou is too risky to contemplate, so we should get our oil from places where thousands of heavily armed men try to kill us every day, instead. That is what they are doing about it.

They don't want lower oil prices, they want to ban fossil fuels. If that results in the death by starvation of 95% of the human race well then that is just a bonus.

They will do nothing but blame it all on Bush as part of their Republican slander. That’s their plan.

I agree I thought their rally cry is we only went there for oil? Okay then why is the barrel of oil the highest in 15 years. It may be we are trying to help a dictatorship into democracy. Hell even the left cant use that as a reason to discredit this war. But you will not see this in todays news.

yeah, it’s not really free enterprise when it comes to gasoline because the big oil companies are all in collusion together. Isn’t there a law on the books against what they are doing with the prices. I think all of America should boycott the oil companies. Problem is that they have so much money they could just wait us out. The switchgrass alcohol GW was talking about sure sounds good about now. Let’s get a move on before they raise the prices alot more. Good grief!

Democrats can do as much about the short-term gas prices as Republics - nothing.

It bothers people, so blame the guy in power for it because why not?

Only long-term can energy prices be influenced and that can only be done by a combination of drilling (temporary, transitory), finding alternatives and greater efficiency.

If you are upset that gas prices are so high, my suggestion is to get a more efficient vehicle.

Here is some simple math for you:

A 100 mile trip at 20 miles per gallon costs $15 with gas at $3 a gallon.

You want to reduce the price in half there are two ways:
1. Reduce the price of gas by half
2. Improve your gas mileage to 40 mpg.

Perhaps you enjoy funding the Russians, Iranians, Venezuelans and our good friends the Saudis.

Seems like a bad idea to me though
