High Gas Prices: Blame The SUV

With all the screaming about the price of gas these days, what's conveniently forgotten is the raging popularity SUV's recently enjoyed. These oversized conveyances driven by feckless individuals, who rationalized their opulence with a false sense of safety, were ubiquitous for over a decade.

Now, with higher prices, the marketplace is working out the problem; consumers are buying more fuel efficient vehicles and manufacturers are providing more options for purchase. For Democrats, dreaded free market sorcery is (again) ruining their rhetoric.

So the next time someone complains about the price of gas, tell them to check their driveway. The Democrats demonize big oil companies for high prices, but it's our own hypocrisy that's to blame.
