Well, it is their turn. :lol:
Beats having them all show up in their individual cars.
lol Good point, Niflmir. It appears according to the article that Reps want DOHbama to regulate fuel prices to be affordable. Reps wanting regulation? F'eckin funny.
Or did I miss something?
Actually supply and demand is only part of the cost, the biggest factor in the price of crude is market speculation. After refining, it is the supply (supposedly dictated by demand, but supply is routinely "adjusted" by suppliers to create demand. IE, "Summer is coming, tourists will be wanting fuel. Let's increase supply a little bit, but not make it too plentiful or profits will suffer". And then they explain that they simply underestimated the demand).Also, don't they believe in the invisible hand of the market? Isn't the price of gasoline controlled by the supply? Do they expect Obama to magically increase the supply or bottom out the supply curve?
Price has doubled since the Bamster was inaugurated.I'm confused by the OP, do republicans get charged a different price for gasoline?
Biggest factors are over-regulation, taxation and the uncertainty of future taxation and regulation all of which is in control of the guvmint.Actually supply and demand is only part of the cost, the biggest factor in the price of crude is market speculation.

So, market speculators and suppliers are greedy. The only thing DOHbama can do about fuel prices is by regulation. Thing is, Reps are normally against regulating business. The bulk of taxes is a state issue, not fed.Price has doubled since the Bamster was inaugurated.
rofl That's funny.Price has doubled since the Bamster was inaugurated.

In some states, not all.The bulk of taxes is a state issue, not fed.
