Here at The Western Word, I have blogged about the high gas prices before starting in May 2007. With the price for a gallon of gas hitting record highs over and over since January 2007, it’s apparent the democratic-controlled Congress does not have a plan.

Nancy Pelosi promised a “commonsense” plan for skyrocketing gas prices.

Max Baucus is pretty quiet about the high cost of gas on his campaign and senate websites.

Jon Tester used the high price of gas as a way to get elected way back in July 2006:

“But I’ve been listening to Montana families and they’re sick and tired of buying $3 a gallon gas. Here we are in the middle of the summer when Montana families are taking vacations and farmers are getting ready for the harvest, and gas is just too expensive — all because government hasn’t done anything to look for alternatives. It is time for leadership in Washington.”

Of course, other democrats used the high price of gas as a tool to get elected (just like they promised to end the war). They’ve had almost two years and failed.

Yes, it’s time for leadership in Washington.
