Congress Approval Down to 29%; Bush Approval Steady at 33% (http://www.galluppoll.com/content/?ci=27589)
A big reason, in my not-so-humble opinion:
Rep. John Dingell (http://democrats.org/a/2005/10/congressman_joh_2.php), from back in October, 2005:
"Democrats do have a better way. We are focused on the immediate problems of gasoline prices and the anticipated increases in natural gas and home heating oil prices.
"We have proposed a tough anti-price gouging law. We also proposed a Strategic Refinery Reserve to build refineries that would help protect our national security and consumers from supply disruptions. Republicans defeated the Democratic proposals on a party-line vote, but Democrats will never stop offering new ideas for America’s energy problems.
See, because the Democrats are always supposed to be for the lower classes. Who gets killed by the gas prices most? I'll guarantee you most people are pissed about gasoline, and I'm one of them. And they haven't done shit to curtail anything. Well, that is, unless you call sending some free cash to their buddies in Guam (Pol Lousy gets plenty of campaign cash from Starkist, who has operations in Guam).
Gee, if Congress gets any lower, they'll be able to share an oxygen line with Katie Couric.
