Today oil is $85.90/barrel and gas is $3.85/gallon In April 2010, oil was $85.66/barrel and gas was $2.85/gallon Big Oil is making record profits from high gas prices. All the while, Sen. Thune complains about releases from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve because he can't criticize the oil companies price gouging us. Why? Because he took $1 million from Big Oil.

| Tactic | The ad attacks Sen. Thune for accepting Big Oil money while gas prices outpace oil price increases, using specific data points to imply price gouging and political corruption — but the content was removed by Facebook for a missing disclaimer, making the removal notice itself the only visible creative. |
