Bush has done a great job in many ways. He should have vetoed more Republican spending bills before they lost the majority. The ONE issue that hurts the Republicans now is the high gas prices. Every day, when someone fills up, they think it’s Bush’s fault. They forget that in 1994, Bill Clinton vetoed a Republican bill to drill in ANWR. Bill said it would take ten years to get it up and running. That would have been 2004. Now it’s 2008 and everyone’s forgot what Bill Clinton did. The Republicans need to make their case for more drilling, more refineries, better gas mileage. People need to be reminded of what the Dems want to do. THEY are the reason for high gas prices with no alternatives for us.

Yes, and in 2008 -- last week, as a matter of fact -- enough republicans joined with democrats to prevent any additional domestic drilling for oil and gas. Most republicans, headed by John McCain, aren't going to do squat to battle liberals and assist 'Big Oil' in providing us with more energy.

When President Bush took office gas was $1.45 a gal. By Dec., 2006, despite 9/11, the largest natural disaster to hit the US-Hurricane Katrina and 2 wars gas was $2.38, up $.93, a big jump for sure but not a gut buster.

Since the dems won Congress in Nov. 2006 it has risen $1.60 a gal. to today's $3.89.

Bush's fault, yeah right.

The republicans almost ALL are against drilling and refineries. They are little more than leftist lite.
