KELOLAND: $3.50/Gallon Gas in SD; SDW: Thank Sen. Thune and Pres. Bush
KELOLAND reports today that the AVERAGE price of gas in SD is $3.50/gallon.This has been a favorite theme of SD Watch since the 2004 election, when John Thune blamed Sen. Tom Daschle for high gasoline prices, when gas was a whopping $1.60/gallon. Here’s a classic from SDW in 2005 on the issue:
So, under Thunian logic, if Daschle allowing a few cents increase in gasoline prices was his “fault” during Tom’s watch, then John must be liable for the doubling-plus of gas prices since 2005 when he took office.
Fair’s fair. I’m just sayin’.

Dont worry Todd old thunee will try to blame Johnson for this.Thune is your typical politican saying one thing in South Dakota and another in D.C.
Its time the American people start making decisions on their own. Don't expect the government to bail us out every time. There are actions we can take to control our futures but the average American has lost his common sense, maybe this will wake up a few that need to be shaken.
Okay to dis Thune on your blog, Todd, but don't do it on the forum.
