The Political Insider

Democrats are famous for using that old rule of thumb, “never let a crisis go to waste.” Perhaps finally, Republicans might just beat them at their own game.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) has begun to hold voter registration drives at the nation’s gas stations following a successful voter drive by conservative activist Scott Presler. 

The launch of the voter registration drives began with an event in Arizona on Saturday and will continue into the future.

A Logical Place

Communications Director for the Arizona Republican Party, Ben Petersen, seemed to think the strategy was a no-brainer. He stated,

“Arizonans are frustrated with paying the record-high gas prices we’ve seen recently, this is an issue that affects almost every single Arizonan. There’s no doubt that everyone is feeling the pain at the pump, so a gas station right now may be the very best possible place for one of our volunteers to have a conversation with someone and get someone signed up to vote.”

Later in the day on Monday, the RNC also tweeted, “Want lower gas prices? Vote Republican!”

But the idea was not the originally the RNC’s. It was the brainchild of conservative activist Scott Presler, who tweeted about the idea in early March.

In fact, there was some question as to where the original idea came from, and who was taking credit for it.

‘Bless Their Hearts’

Scott Presler’s favorite thing to do is make the top of leftists’ heads come off. And he is certainly doing it with the idea of gas station voter drives. 

Many liberals who responded relied on the old Saul Alinsky tactic of accusing your opponent of what you are doing.

Some got a it confused and gave away some Democrat chain of custody ballot secrets.

And some relied on some tried and true stand by’s.

Democrat Talking Points

As usual, Democrats try to portray themselves as never having been in the room when their policies fail. And the same is happening over who is to blame for the nation’s skyrocketing gas prices.

Democrats have gone to great lengths to portray the gas price hikes as “Putin’s price hike,” but gas has been steadily increasing since Biden became President. 

Biden has also begun to accuse oil companies of “padding their profits.” But what Joe Biden will not tell you is that in the 2022 fiscal budget, there are at least a dozen new tax increases on American energy companies. It is not hard to figure out that those taxes get passed on to consumers.

While Energy Secretary Pete Buttigieg tells everyone who can’t afford gas to buy a $45,000+ Tesla, the current average gas price in the nation is $4.25.

As one good turn deserves another, I hope Scott Presler will next set up shop outside the grocery stores, too.
