Default Gas prices have doubled

Mike,

Here is some actual data:

http://www.gasbuddy.com/gb_retail_price_chart.aspx

Gasoline went up more than 15% during Bush/Repo Congress and did not double
during the Demo Congress.

However, there is a big jump in prices since the Democrats took over
Congress. I cannot help but notice the gas price curve is very similar to
this one:

If one is silly enough to believe that the latter curve proves that man is
causing global warming, then it is intuitive that the Democrats are causing
the rise in gas prices.

Why have gas prices doubled since the Democrats took control of Congress
and only went up 15% during the entire time the Republicans held Congress
under Bush?

If this trend continues and Democrats run the government, say goodbye to
Stinkpot Cruisers.
