Poll: Most Blame Cindy Sheehan for High Gas Prices

[eyeontheprize]

Prices said to be highest within 100 mile radius of Mrs. Sheehan's protest

By Deanna Swift

WACO, TX—Prices at the gas pump have been surging through the all important summer driving season. But whose fault is it that our Ford Excursions and Cadillac Escalades are so expensive to fill? A new poll may finally have the answer to a question that has so many Americans pumping mad.


The results of the poll confirm that most Americans place the blame for skyrocketing prices at the pump squarely at the feet of anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan. Energy analysts say that the poll's conclusions aren't surprising. Since Mrs. Sheehan began her protest against the Iraq war near the ranch of President George W. Bush, oil prices have shot up nearly $10 a barrel.


Pumping mad at protest mom

According to the poll of 2,130 driving-age adults, conducted by Polltronics, Inc., 73% of Americans say that they think Cindy Sheehan is to blame for surging gas prices at the pump. Of that number, 31% said that Mrs. Sheehan bears all of the responsibility for the rising cost of gas, 26% said that the protesting mom deserves some of the blame and 18% said that she is partly responsible for sky-high gas prices. The remaining 25% believed that Mrs. Sheehan is to blame, but not for the high price of gasoline.

12. The scary thing is that some Republicans will believe this, and Rush...

will spout it as "truth" on his show.

I think we need to add "Satire" to the smilies list.

13. Oh come on, the gas prices have been rising

all summer just like every summer. To blame Cindy for this is ridiculous, but the most ridiculous is your not supporting her after hearing of it.... We don't need the support of ignorant people, they are the ones that got us into this mess in the first place.....
