More people will vote Democratic the higher gas prices go.

[pwb]

The Koch brothers are manipulating gas prices for the election thinking it will help Romney. Wrong, we are on to your evil ways. I will be cutting back. Gas prices should be coming down after the summer driving season We all know that this is election time republican taliban tactics at work here. Cut back. Drive the price down.

1. Gas prices here are dropping...

We were pushing 4.00 and now we're back down to 3.70 something. But maybe that's just here.

[pwb]

2. Prices are up 20 cents just today on the stock market.

Give it some time.

[Drunken Irishman]

3. Well if we go solely by days, then we'd never have a consensus.

4. Really?

How is this accomplished?

[pwb]

5. Most of us know the pukes love them the oil industry.

Figure out the rest for yourself. If you do not know, your in the wrong place.

6. What we know or don't know doesn't have much to do with this

Many voters blame the current president, and the party of that president, for any number of things wrong with the country and wrong with their lives, whether it makes sense or not.

No way high gas prices are a plus for Obama.

[pwb]

7. That is what you are suppose to think.

You have not realized that the pukes blame us for what they do?. Whatever they say I think the opposite. Who backs the oil industry?. Think hard now.

[Silent3]

8. That doesn't matter. You're projecting from your own beliefs in the causes of high gas prices...

...to the way other people will react to high gas prices. That's hardly a safe bet. Even if a bare majority of likely voters blamed the Koch brothers et al for higher gas prices, some of those would still blame Obama for not somehow magically defeating said Koch brothers.

This hasn't the slightest thing to do with what I'm "supposed to think". It's human nature, especially low-information voter nature.

9. You know when gas hit $1.29 per gallon

I cut out all unnecessary driving, I don't think there is too much more I can do at this point to conserve.

10. No doubt the "October Surprise" from the right

Just how much pain at the pump will they subject the country to in order to hold onto power...
