re: Gas prices kill

It's really quite simple. If you want to keep hold of the House and Senate, you'll reverse this trend:



Otherwise, you'll lose Congress and it'll be hostile as well. No way to run a war in the last two years of a presidency, much less looking towards 08.

Reverse the trend, and you keep the house. It's that simple.

4-26-06 update: This PDF shows a breakdown of gas taxes. In California, for instance, we're laying out a whopping SIXTY CENTS a gallon in total taxes. For you math geeks out there, that's NINETEEN PERCENT tax per gallon on something we all need.

Makes one wonder just how much you guys care about how rising gas prices affect the average voter. A voter who will be plenty p.o.'d come November.
