... drive to the nearest gas station, and DEMAND they start charging $10 a gallon!

3. yeah, i have been repeating that fact over and over again here

no one really seems to get it... The Dow is also inversely related to Bush's approval...

4. I wish his poll numbers would tank correspondent to his string of

lies and incompetencies and botched sentences.

I wish voters would reject him because he is not a good leader for the country and not because they can't fill the tank affordably.

I'll take gas pump prices as an economic issue but I want Bush to be rejected more comprehensively.

5. unfortunately, it is only when people begin to feel it in the pocketbook

that they get up in arms. Too bad lies and deception which led to war didn't have the same impact.

6. the problem is

if politicians measure success by what the
price of gas is this month, rather than what they
are doing to get us away from oil dependence long term.
