Why are gas prices so high with the elections nigh?

Where is the consumer outrage? Do you remember in times past the gas prices plummeting before elections to keep the voters in a subdued mood?

I say they fear the wrath of organized consumers. I say that is why the SC-5 (who should stand trial for treason for creating the corporate overlord of government) allowed the corporations to donate secretly because they fear the wrath that consumers have.

This (our small pile of money)is about all we got. We have to over vote by about 5-10% just to barely win. Then the lobbyists bribe the guy/gal we just elected. So we still have our small amount of dollars which when multiplied can clobber a few corporations strategically.
