$3.50 gas becomes $10.50 gas.

I’d be willing to see that happen if it would get Barack Hussein Obama out of the White House.
I'd be willing to see it happen if it puts Obama on trial for the crimes he's commmitted as President, and puts a supermajority of Conservative Republicans in all 3 branches of government.
On the Stimulus and economy Boehner did exactly the right thing, he went on show after show for two years 2009-2010 and repeated :”The American people want to know, Where are the jobs?” over and over. It was simple and obvious and to the point. Republicans are not doing as good a job at that this year. They havent come up with something similarly simple and to the point to repeat for gas prices(How hard can that be???). .
On the other side Democrats have a series of poll tested talking points they repeat over and over on the talk shows and congressional Republicans sound unprepared to respond to them when asked on camera. I saw this again at another Ryan WI town hall meeting yesterday , audience members one by one hit him with pre-scripted poll tested Democrat political positions like :"Pay for my medicare by taking away big oil tax cuts".
I have come to the opinion that in politics the caving(compromising) is just the formality, the actual loss is not being able to keep control of the message. To win requires anticipating the other sides talking points and responding with specific poll tested responses.
There are radio talk show host that will tell you that we win if congressional Republicans do what they say is right(ram something through) , even if public opinion is 3 to 1 against it. But that is equivelent to Pelosi-Reid-Obama ramming through Obama-care Spring 2010. Public opinion is still sour on that and they lost the House. (a shame we cant tie that to gas prices.)
