This is not
the only issue that should be addressed now.
I cannot imagine leaving on a 5 week vacation with all of the work that needs to be done. I guess they are pretty tired after being in session 3 whole days a week. I am generally conservative in my leanings but I blame both parties for some of the things have happened. Maybe Nancy is trying to lower their 9% approval rating. Pete |

Again,
Pelosi plays to her San Fran constituants. Since the President lifted the ban on off shore drilling, the SPECULATORS did what they do, SPECULATED that an eventual increase in the oil supply can glut the market and bring down prices....and since, although minimal, the price has gone down and so the price at the pumps. In every poll I've read, which includes liberal, conservative, and more independent polls, show that the vast majority of Americans want MORE DRILLING. Now, as Pete says, I blame both sides, the Repubs for not doing something when they were the majority and had a Repub Pres, and the Dems for sticking to their silly view that drilling will hurt the environment. They are the majority and have done, like the Repubs, NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about this problem. One of the reasons Pelosi took off on her private jet to go back to her friends was that she knew, with the Blue Dog Dems, the Repubs could pass the necessary legislation. She does not give a shit about anybody but her Frisco pals. As I have stated before, the problem is 3 fold...short term, middle term, and long term. As long as these idiots do nothing, we are doomed to be at the will of the speculators and other countries that are drilling their collective asses off. I hear all this Repubs and their Big Oil pals....well, if that was true, we would have been drilling our asses off since 1994. What I find interesting is that if the Dems were being deemed to be doing the right thing, McCain would be so far down in the polls he could never get out. Instead they are virtually tied. Why? If the Democrats are not careful, they are going to snatch defeat out of the jaws of an easy victory, AGAIN.

"It's No Wonder".
IT'S NO WONDER why Goddess NANCY PELOSI & DEM MAJORITY Dominated United States
Congress have an Approval Rating of only 9%, and/or lowest such ever recorded in history and likely lower than Brit Rulers actually had, pre-1776. The American People just CANNOT continually stomach their SUPPOSED(?) Representatives acting (actually dictating) more so like both The San Francisco Mayor & Council, DO. For such Fanatical Political Supremacists, if it doesn't effect the well-being of The DNC, foreign nationals or illegals, minorities, strange types, and even America's avowed Muslim Enemies,...nothing else is truly worthy of "Their" expending their quite lordly and valuable time, as disgustingly daily proved (even with latest 5 week vacations). Her Worship Nancy Pelosi being 3rd in line for Wartime U.S. Presidency,...is also quite scarey. Well, at least: "Scarey" for people believing selves Free Americans & not just Subjects,... anyway.

I could
not have said it better.
Oil profits have jumped to "obscene" levels during the Democratic Congress. Hmmm, does this mean by not drilling and keeping it scarce, the price keeps going up, the Democrats are in the pockets of "big oil"???? It would seem so. Here comes the new boss, same as the old boss. (The Who said it all!) Pack

Pack,...
Never mind that old: "Something rotten in Denmark" saying.
When it's documented/reported about an ELECTED U.S. Representative (some joke) that: "She won't even ALLOW IT TO COME TO A VOTE",...NOTHING could possibly be more ROTTEN than what now currently being passed-off as mere politics, in Good Old USA. In that factual & realistic context, still calling ourselves: "A Democracy" and touting same all over The World has also become quite a hypocritical joke. Hell,...any Dictated Nations on earth would have to be about 13 short of a dozen if instead preferring to have San Francisco style One Party Dictates & basically National Undermining Rule. It's differently common for Foreign Dictators to at least stick-up for their nations & militaries. Besides, who-the-hell does Nancy Pelosi think she is, anyway? Wish she would run out of her car & smash into another car,...just like in The Hertz commercial. Also, thought Our Constitution got rid of rule by zealots, goddesses, queens (straight ones) & such, plus was SOLELY penned to cover & safeguard The U.S. Citizenry ALONE,...and not NOW as Her Worship Pelosi & Leftist pro-Foreigner/UN Crowd internationally MUCH prefer having it?

Stephanopoulos to Pelosi: Why No Up or Down Vote on Drilling?
By Noel Sheppard (Bio | Archive) August 3, 2008 - 13:41 ET It seems that even ABC's George Stephanopoulos is getting fed up with Congressional Democrats blocking efforts by Republicans to expand offshore oil drilling in order to bring down gas prices. On Sunday's "This Week," Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Cali.) was asked repeatedly why she refuses to allow this issue to come to a vote. The look of disgust on Stephanopoulos's face as Pelosi mumbled non sequitur after non sequitur was almost more telling of his sense of frustration than the number of times he asked virtually the same question: "Why won't you permit a straight up or down vote?" Readers should prepare themselves for an alternate reality, for Madame Speaker was quizzed on Sunday like never before (video available here, rush transcript from closed captioning, photo courtesy ABC News): GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS, HOST: You've been getting a lot of heat for not allowing a straight up or down vote expanding drilling off the coasts of the United States. Why won't you permit a straight up or down vote? NANCY PELOSI, SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE: What we have presented are options that will really make a difference at the pump. Free our oil, Mr. President. We're sitting on 700 million barrels of oil. That would have an immediate effect in ten days. What our colleagues are talking about is something that won't have an effect for ten years and it will be 2 cents at the time. If they want to present something that's part of an energy package, we're talking about something. But to single shoot on something that won't work and mislead the American people as to thinking it's going to reduce the price at the pump, I'm just not going to be a part of it.Although Stephanopoulos never addressed the revolt that happened in the House on Friday when Pelosi adjourned the session for a five week vacation, he is to be commended for doing a fairly good grilling on Sunday. As for Pelosi, Americans should be embarrassed by her disgraceful performance. If she represents the best House Democrats have to offer at this moment in history, we should all be fearful of the future. —Noel Sheppard is the Associate Editor of NewsBusters. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sh...-vote-drilling
