Those Republicans who stayed, and all other Republicans running for the House and Senate need to get fired up about this issue. They can hammer on the Democrats' willingness to allow oil prices to stay where they are, by not even allowing a vote on opening more areas for drilling, and increasing our chances to find good solid sources of crude. They can also point out how the Democrats apparently do not even care about how the price of gasoline is hurting those about whom they claim to care so very much.
If we were smart we would be parading a bunch of "victims"(using the rats own technique against them) of high gas prices,people whose lives have been ruined, before every radio, tv station and newspaper that would use it forever until the fire got so hot under Piglosi's stretched out skin that she gave in.
We could also plaster that kind of stuff all over the web.
