With skyrocketing gas prices, it is clear that the American people can no longer afford the Republican Rubber Stamp Congress and its failure to stand up to Republican big oil and gas company cronies. Americans this week are paying $2.91 a gallon on average for regular gasoline – 33 cents higher than last month, and double the price than when President Bush first came to office.
“With record gas prices, record CEO pay packages, and record oil company profits, Speaker Hastert and the Majority Congress continue to give the American people empty rhetoric rather than join Democrats who are working to lower gas prices now.
“Democrats have a commonsense plan to help bring down skyrocketing gas prices by cracking down on price gouging, rolling back the billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies, tax breaks and royalty relief given to big oil and gas companies, and increasing production of alternative fuels.”

So it took Bush and a Republican controlled Congress six years to double gas prices and it took a Democrat controlled Congress less than two years to double them again. Now that’s progress!
Pelosi Galore and Reid the Walking Dead only needed 17 months to double the price of gas.
Yet they and the Obamination stand in the way of drilling for more new oil in America and new refineries.

The GOP should be running adds with that statement non-stop.
