Republicans Blame Democrats for 'A Nation of $4 Gasoline'

(CNSNews.com) - As expected, gasoline prices keep rising, and Republicans are placing the blame squarely on the Democrat-led Congress. Republicans apparently see "pain at the pump" as a key election issue.

As of Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline stood at a record $4.00. The price has zoomed above $4.00 in a number of states.

"As a result of this dubious milestone, motorists will pay on average $1.67 more per gallon than they were when the 110th Congress began. This represents a 71 percent increase during Nancy Pelosi's speakership," said Rep. Adam Putnam (R-Fla.), chairman of the House Republican Conference.

Putnam said on the Democrats' watch, "America has become a nation of $4 gasoline. This expensive milestone arrives two years removed from an endless stream of assurances by Democrat leaders that they had their hands on a 'commonsense plan' to lower gas prices," Putnam said Sunday in a news release.

Good. I hope that gets traction in the media beyond CNSNews.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Id like to see it go further, But it wont -- Ive actually looked in vain for a radio commercial the DNC pushed in ramp-up to the 2006 elections that suggested that the gas prices then were too high, and a Democrat-led congress was needed to fix it. Its as if that commercial never existed.

It ran something like this..

You can see it everytime you open a newspaper (sound of paper rustling)
You can feel it everytime you fill up your tank (Gas pump sound effects)
George Bush and the Republicans in Congress are making a mess.

And this one (though inland areas like North Dakota need to be added):
