Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) reminded his colleagues recently of another of the 2006 campaign season promises made about two years ago by the soon to be elected Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). 

“Elect us and we will produce a common-sense plan to help bring down the price of gasoline at the pump.”

According to Senator Cornyn gas was about $2.33 per gallon then. You know how close it is to $4.00 now. I guess we can file that broken Pelosi Promise in the same place as the “no more earmarks”, “we will not raise your taxes”, and “we’ll bring the troops home and end this war” broken promises. There are many things that Congress could do to address the rising cost of gas, but apparently electing the Democrats isn’t one of them.
