Republican Electorial Strategery: Make Gas So Expensive That People Cannot Drive To Vote?
Given the rate of inflation for gas, by November, gas will be $5 a gallon. Thus, working class people won't be able to afford to vote.

Am I crazy?

4. There is certainly an element of truth in this. More and more
people are going to have to prioritize their use of expensive gas. Get to work, buy groceries, pick the kids up at school. Then somewhere down the line comes voting.
