Hey, nice to see that I've managed to beat the direct pinch of rising gas prices by cleverly being overseas for weeks.

If I were living in a competitive state, I would probably cast my vote for Obama because the idea of giving the GOP the presidency along with likely slim majorities in the House and Senate scares the daylights out of me. I can totally see Mitt Romney nominating Janice Rogers Brown for a SCOTUS seat and making it more likely that any government regulation could be judged unconstitutional.

As it is though, I live in a state that will probably go 70/30 for Romney, so I have no problem with casting a vote for Gary Johnson or Buddy Roemer assuming one of them is on the ballot.

Can we please get the GOP base to tell the GOP to shut the farking hell up already? It would be really nice to have an actual honest discussion about the cost of gas today and ways we can reduce it (invest in alternative energy perhaps?).

So vote Republican, of course.

It doesn't matter who is saying this, it's wrong.

American politicians have very minimal (close to zero) affect on the price of gasoline. It's mostly supply and demand. The world economy when Obama took office sucked ass, so demand was down, so so was the price. The world economy is (overall) booming right now, so demand is up, so so is the price.

Right, now lets be clear about what's going on here, demand is down and supply is up under president Obama. Yet the price doubled from around $1.75 to about $3.50 in the first three years. Supply is up, demand is down, so why did gas prices go up?

Pretty much this.

But we do have some control on supply - if we had been smart and allowed drilling in ANWR 10 years ago, we'd have more supply and prices would be lower. We have billions of barrels of untapped domestic oil and gas resources that we can use to increase supply and lower prices. We need to start doing more of that.

And no, "alternative energy" isn't an option - at least not a realistic one. Wind, solar, and biomass are not workable options for energy production. The laws of physics don't give a damn about "green energy" fantasies. If we want to start powering things with electricity rather than fossil fuels, we'd better start ramping up our nuclear power capabilities.

yeah Newt had one really good plan for that. He would just go over there and demand OPEC lower the prices.
andif not he would invade Iran and take over their oil.
Then after that he was going to go to the U.N. and demand that gun ownership be established as a human right.
he said every human being deserve the right to carry a gun.

of course the Israelis might have a problem with Newt arming the Palestinians though.
