Explain how the "Republicans" caused the increase in gasoline prices.

That's easy:

- The Iraq war

- Huge federal defecits

- Weak dollar

- Poor energy policies

- Huge trade imbalance

They are all intertwined with high energy prices in various ways.

You forgot the most important one - namely defending the dollar
against speculation.

That, in my opinion, is the real crime.

Defend it exactly how? It isn't backed by silver, gold or oil in a known
guaranteed quantity of something of tangible fixed value. Thus, it is open
to speculation.

Duh - by buying dollars.

You know - like over governments do?
