Republicans Blame Democrats for 'A Nation of $4 Gasoline'

(CNSNews.com) - As expected, gasoline prices keep rising, and Republicans are placing the blame squarely on the Democrat-led Congress. Republicans apparently see "pain at the pump" as a key election issue.

As of Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline stood at a record $4.00. The price has zoomed above $4.00 in a number of states.

"As a result of this dubious milestone, motorists will pay on average $1.67 more per gallon than they were when the 110th Congress began. This represents a 71 percent increase during Nancy Pelosi's speakership," said Rep. Adam Putnam (R-Fla.), chairman of the House Republican Conference.

There are two points here...

1. The Democrats have failed to deliver on EVERY promise they used to win the 2006 elections, and there aren't many who have the courage to point that out.

2. The Democrats are responsible for even higher gas prices, and they haven't done anything to stop or slow the increases. 

The Republicans have tried to open up domestic oil exploration every year as far back as I can remember, and the Democrats continue to block it.  We have an opportunity to flood the world markets with lower cost oil and decrease global energy costs, but the Democrats won't allow it.  It's amazing how the lame-stream media won't share this information with everyone.

CNS News?  What kind of news source is that?   

Well maybe FoxNews will pick up the story; none of the liberal/leftist media will report any of this.

The leftist (read "Democrat") answer for this crisis is to tax the hell out of big oil and tax the hell out of the consumer to discourage consumption and therefore lower demand by force...they don't give a rat's ass about increasing supply because that does not fit the green agenda of de-industrialization.
