Gas prices falling just before the election helps which party?

Neither.\n\nSome will say Republican but all this does is show me how much Republicans have controlled it all the while it was going up.

I believe that the oil companies are taking advantage of the situation.  It seems the prices are always higher during the summer when people are using their cars, or R.V's to go on vacation.\n\nThe president is walking on thin ice...Republicans are going to feel the wrath of voters because they will be losing their races and the democrats will take their place.\n\nThe president wants us to open up Alaska to drilling, so when we have higher prices...he can say they would be lower if we were able to drill in Alaska.

Most anylists are predicting that the currrent price is the peak for the summer and that may drop slightly before the end of summer.\n\nFor info on finding cheap gas go to:\nhttp://www.gasbuddy.com/

John McCain is their best hope. Anyone else will help them loose the election against Hillary. If Hillary doesn't run for the Dems, then its open season for the GOP.

we were lied to.\n\nWhat is the price of gasoline today?  Who is making record profits from these prices?(not me)\n\nSeems pretty silly to have investigated Clinton's Whitewater losses when you look at Haliburton's gains.....

THE GAS PRICES! AHHHH lol

Since before the elections I was saying that prices went down because of the elections and that they will find whatever excuse to bring it back up, but most of the savy idiots of yahoo answer were saying that it was because it was winter time and people did not travel as much. If people cannot decipher such obvious tactics to acquire votes how in the hell can they ever figure out much complex lies about unscrupulous politicians that are desperately trying to get their votes, I see now how America got to this infernal state it is because the voting citizens are not sharp and smart enough and will swallow any waste that the goverment will feed them, such as big oil companies will raise up the gas prices due to the anticipated deficit of the democratic party, we are pathetic.

Subtle. Let me guess. President Bush, Republican Party. Dems win the next election! Don't bet on it!

◙ the only way to get gas prices to go down is for everyone to stop paying them. you can't blame them for their high prices. you can only blame yourself for paying them.\n\n◙ here in east moline illinois gas is $2.53 :)

Finally someone who gets it. Republican party is the big corporation party. Their constituency is big business at the expense of the rest of us. With the huge profits the oil companies make it seems senseless to pay them subsidies. The man in white house is a Texas man, the big oil state and people wonder why gas prices are rising as they are.

Specific sectors will benefit from coming policy changes and adjusted priorities.  A few sectors will suffer.\n \nBig pharma stocks have fallen with the sure knowledge that Democrats will push through provisions that permit medicare and other federal programs to negotiate lower prices for drugs and encourage the re-importation of drugs from Canada.  Sectors involved in alternative fuels will surly get a bump with the solid support for energy independence.  The old energy sector -- Exxon for one -- will take a hit with the certainty that obscene profits will be taxed as windfall profits and some of the Cheney energy policy advantages for big oil will be reversed.  \n\n(These are the prognostications from one who has lost plenty in the stock market.)

Republicans cheat. Simply put. \n\nYou think it's a coincidence that gas prices have lowered? It's "strategery" as George Bush might say.  As soon as the elections are over, all these things will be back to the way they are. Saddam is a victim of American "democracy," like millions of others.

The chances that big oil has tried to influence the election by selling cut rate gas are pretty high. I am sure they can see that a Republican House and Senate is definitely an advantage to them. As is, the the Dems will make some gains, but no where near what they would if gas was above $3.\n\nI don't think they would let it be so obvious by letting the price rise to $3 by Jan 1. But, $3 by July 1, 2007? Very likely.

Ok, for the person who answered "LOWER GAS PRICES," you are completely uneducated. The president can't lower gas prices. NATO is mostly in charge of that. He could help by getting the senate to drill in Alaska for oil. (back to the question)\n\nI have to say Close down the borders. That is a security issue for the United States. ANYONE can go through the Mexican or Canadian border, which could cause another Terrorist Attack if we're not careful. The Mexicans are trying to take over America. We need to do something with them, and fast. \n\nThe Liberals believe they should all become citizens so they will vote "Democrat" in the next election. The Liberals have no idea what the Mexicans will do to our country. People say "oh we need them, they do the work that Americans don't do!" Well, what did the Egyptians find out when they had no water...MOVE toward the Nile...meaning find an alternative way of completing the task.
