It is the "Free Market" after all, you know "What ever the Market will bear" This is their Atlas Shrugged being played out in real life....They should in fact be celebrating the price increases as examples of how perfect their system is...Any Republican that complains is showing blatant hypocrisy IMO..

2. A lot of "conservatives" don't know anything about conservative economic philosophy.
For many of them it's all about God, guns, and gays.

4. you are wrong
when gas prices rise it is because of liberal big government suppressing the free market with a lot of taxes and regulations. When gas prices go down it is because of the invisible hand of the conservative small government's free market as embodied by the spirit of Ronald Reagan.

Thus when EVER gas goes down it is because of those Bush tax cuts, when gas prices go up it is because Jimmy Carter wore a sweater. ;-)
