How about Cheney's record of support for artificially inflating the price of crude oil? Cheney is an intrinsicate part of the ticket.

Besides Congress, the republicans et all want to increase our gas tax. They know we need to to keep improving and maintaining our road infrastructure. Bush is telling them to hold off until after the election to do it. Obviously because he is using it as a campaign issue.

I have regular contact with my US Congress Rep Todd Platts (R), as a transportation planner. Todd, who is on the House Transportation Committee, told us specifically that Bush will not accept a gas tax increase until AFTER the election. They want to do it now because of the Transportation Equity Act bill that is in the process of reauthorization. They are coming up short for money but BUSH DOESN'T CARE. He wants his election issue.
