Default Thanks Republicans, I paid 0.45 per gallon less today !

Thank you Republicans.

I paid 0.45 cents less for gas today. 0.15 from the day before.

Gas is dropping and you are doing the work that Nancy and Harry promised us they would do.

I knew they would jump in and help us since the idiot leaders of congress have screwed us over and wont even get the guts to vote on this issue.

No more broken promises and lies from the democratic lying machine, vote republican so you can afford to drive your car!

I think that's beyond her. After she gets to high school she'll learn in Economics 101 how little politicians can affect the price of gas one way or the other.

ITA nick. So many people do not really know what is going on. I just look at the fact that our country has depression worse than the 1930 depression.

If the GOP takes back the House and removes Pelosi from her Speaker position, and McCain gets elected, gas prices will fall dramatically, as the speculators / OPEC / Oil producing countries will know Americans will drill and refine and use Nuclear... PRICES WILL FALL!

Gas prices where I live have also dropped almost .60 cents a gallon where I live. This is all starting because Bush removed the Executive Ban on drilling.

Only Democrats would think to increase the Gas Tax (to cover road improvments) when Gas Prices are already through the roof.

Vote Republican remove the Democrats who think Raising our Gas Taxes is what the country needs now.

They are consumed and controlled by the radical "Global Warming" crowd.

I agree, you can make money in stocks now.

Not only that, I am wondering... the media keeps saying "America is in a Recession"... "America is headed for the toilet".

You know, last week we saw lines and droves of people spending between $200 and $600 on CELL PHONES during the new iPhone rush!!

If that is a Recession, we are doing pretty darn well. Could do better, specially since families are being HURT by high energy prices.

Otherwise, this is an economic slowdown, NOT a recession. Even the liberal NY Times who WANT a Recession to help Obama, admits we are NOT into a Recession:

Thats the Mac Cult. (no, not all Mac users are part of the cult). Steve Jobs could market baggies of his poo and the I-Tards would line up around the block to pay $200.00 for a bag.

While I am sympathetic to the GOP in general. The initial post makes little sense and is not true.
