Democrats fake whining about "big oil" and gas price gouging share one thing....they are ridiculous. Particularly troubling is the fact that the government makes more money on gas than the oil companies, but yet the government and democrats wants people to think that "Big Oil" is ripping all of us off. Does anyone beside me ever get upset when the government rips us off and then politicians lie about who is doing it? I think that if people would dig a little and do some investigation they might not support the Democrats.

We should call it brain gouging. Because the government is gouging your brain. They take the good sense that you are born with and fill it with this kind of crap. Most people would be surprised at how far the govt's hands are in everyone's business. You think gas companies are gouging? In Oregon a gas station owner gets 9-12 cents for every gallon. The state gets 43 cents for every gallon. That is almost 300% more than the people that actually do the work. So I ask again who is gouging the public? In Washington the government gets 51 cents for every gallon. Nationally it is 46 cents. According to the logic of the idiots pushing this gas price gouging bill we should thank the gas station owners and sue the government.
Do you want cheaper gas? Then get off you but, go make about $60 and buy yourself a barrel on the commodities market. Get a book on how to refine it, pay uncle Sam some more money so he won't arrest you for illegally refining oil, then pay the environmentalists so they won't picket you, or try to burn you down (see eco-terrorists), then you can transport it from wherever the government tells you that you can refine it, to where you actually need the gas. Sounds easy doesn't it? No wonder gas is not so cheap.
If you really want cheaper gas, de-regulate, and lower your fees, licenses and market regulations. Open ANWAR and start drilling and refining again in the US. If you aren't willing to do those things... Democrats in congress.... then shut the hell up about high gas prices. Congress, you don't have the right to complain when you are the source of most of the problem.

It might help if you made that URL a link...
Hmm, looks like you are right. That blog is a bit old and the website link must have been moved. I'll try to dig up another story demonstrating some democrat in congress crying about the high gas prices while pushing policy that will only cause higher gas prices.
