If a steep rise in gas prices threatens the Democrats in November, there will be such a war cry that it will rival the Rebel Yell during the Civil War.
“If a steep rise in gas prices threatens the Democrats in November, there will be such a war cry that it will rival the Rebel Yell during the Civil War.”
Average gasoline price per gallon on Obama’s inauguration date was about $1.86 per gallon. The Dems have not paid a price for years of $3.00+ per gallon gas. The Dems are not paying a price for higher food prices, the Dems are not paying a price for higher electricity prices. The Dems are not paying a price for 90+ million working age Americans being unemployed.
When the price of a gallon of gas hit $5.00 during the Bush administration the Dems and the media were screaming. Today, with food prices skyrocketing and energy prices climbing again, what do we hear from the opposition party? Nothing.
The Republican Party is completely inept. Pocketbook issues are in their favor in this election cycle yet we hear nothing. Instead the Republicans seem set on allowing the Democrats to rerun the “war on women” campaign and “immigration”. The party leaders seem to like playing defense better than offense, and losing as a result.
Here in outside the state pubic interest groups are spending millions pounding the “war on women” theme in support of Kay Hagan. White female voters will be the swing vote in this campaign since Hagan has the minority vote and liberal white vote sewn up. It will be interesting to see how the GOP establishment candidate, a white male (Thom Tillis) performs. Hagan is vulnerable on Obamacare but seems to be running as though she is proud of her vote. Polls in NC say 42% of voters say Obamacare has had no effect on them and 16% say they’ve been helped by it, which may be the reason Hagan isn’t afraid Tillis can win on Obamacare as his wedge issue. 51% of NC voters approve of President Obama’s performance and 48% approve of Republican governor McCrory’s performance.
If the GOPe cannot win the NC race in 2014, the Republican Party should disband and voluntarily go into the dustbin of history. Current projection - too close to call.
Fixed it!

As stated by another poster (or two) gas is almost double since BO took office.
For the W and Cheney administration if gas went up a tenth of a cent, the left was pounding us with Bush and Cheney are OWNED by Haliburton -read BIG OIL.
With the prices DOUBLED I have yet to read about any such nonsense..Much like we were given a ‘daily scorecard’ on News shows and Papers on how many deaths that day in ‘the war’.
Funny how whenever a ‘crisis (real or imagined) arises’ the price of gas GOES UP.
If something ‘good’ happens the price doesn’t go ‘DOWN’ because we are told that ‘We don’t get enough from _______ to effect the price at the pump’ (unless of course it is up).
Same as the Oil companies for years have been telling us that the high prices are/were due to having so many different blends and standards.
During a ‘crisis’ in the Bush Admininstration, Bush ordered the blends to be suspended till the crisis passed.
When prices didn’t go down, WE were told “well a gallon is still a gallon and SOMETHING has to fill the void”.
And yes, I realize, the Government (all factions combined) makes more off a gallon of gas then the Producers and Shippers etc.
