Michael Steele, the GOP candidate for Senate in Maryland, has just released this statement, which came to me via email (I can’t find it on his website):

Washington must take swift action to come to the aid of families across America. The quickest way it can do so is to immediately suspend for 120 days the 18.4 cents-per-gallon tax. We know that gasoline prices generally increase during the summer months, and that is why it is
absolutely critical that Congress and President Bush act now to
immediately lower gasoline prices.

I know, I know–it is grossly irresponsible and panders to the public–unlike, say, calling for taxes on “windfall profits” and investigations into oil company perfidy.
