Why have gas prices DOUBLED since the Dem Congress took control in Nov 2006?

And today, instead of voting on the republican energy bill that would allow drilling and all other forms of energy, Pelosi and Reid put up a vote to go on vacation for 5 weeks and did not address the issue of the oil crisis. This means we will go into winter and not be able to afford the heat our homes, will not be able to afford the increase in electric, the increase in food prices, and the increase in the necessities of life. Thats what the democrats are all about. They could care less how the voters will fair, they are comfortable and their life will not change. Anyone who votes for a democrat in Nov. is intoxicated with koolaid.
