Who's Responsible for High Gas Prices?

Who's responsible for high gas prices, Republicans or Democrats? Powerline blog answers that question by quoting figures compiled by Congressman Roy Blunt:

ANWR Exploration
House Republicans: 91% Supported
House Democrats: 86% Opposed

Coal-to-Liquid
House Republicans: 97% Supported
House Democrats: 78% Opposed

Oil Shale Exploration
House Republicans: 90% Supported
House Democrats: 86% Opposed

Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Exploration
House Republicans: 81% Supported
House Democrats: 83% Opposed

Refinery Increased Capacity
House Republicans: 97% Supported
House Democrats: 96% Opposed

SUMMARY
91% of House Republicans have historically voted to increase the production of American-made oil and gas.
86% of House Democrats have historically voted against increasing the production ofAmerican-made oil and gas.

If you like high energy prices, do indeed vote for Democrats - Change you can believe in, but may have trouble swallowing.
