Freddoso expects Nancy Pelosi to remain obstinate in supporting the ban, and hopes Republicans in both the House and Senate rise to her challenge:

Not holding my breath. A small step for a normal man; a giant step for a congressional GOP eunuch.

Wow. Old Jesus asked so much of us. New Jesus just wants us to hit the airpump twice a month. Advantage: New Jesus. In more energy news swiped from Hot Air: A CNN poll finds that 69% of Americans support……

Idiots like Reid, Pelosi, Durbin, and the rest read newspapers and watch the news just like everyone else. They know that people are out there hurting, but they don’t give a rat’s patootie! All that matters to your typical Democrat is acquiring power and then holding on to it no matter what!

They don’t mind folks hurting, as it is part of the democrat playbook. Bad economic news is good news for democrats. The more pain the average joe or jane suffers, the better the chances of dem pickups in November. Preventing drilling is not ignorance on their part, but a strategy. Who is John Galt?

There is no good outcome unless two things happen, the democrat blockade on oil is broken, and taxes come down. Otherwise, it will continue to be a muddled mess with the activist zealots screaming at the top of their lungs.

So it all comes down to the Republican party leadership in congress, and whether or not voters will speak up in support.

What part of 67% don’t Democrats understand?

The 33% is their kook base who worship Gaia and think we need to be punished.

Maybe I’m just feeling pessimistic, but I have a bad feeling the Republicans are going to screw this up. This election has turned the Republicans’ way, and they’re still discussing how many seats they’re going to lose.

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention, updated throughout the day…so check back often….

I agree that Bush should call an emergency session AND everyone needs to be calling their reps and Pelosi to tell them to drill!

Start the process for the petition now, then 2 weeks before they stop working… start calling EVERYONE and begin a special session on just Drilling.

It is done on every State… why not do it in the Senate and Congress? We elected the rejects, they better start working for us.

Use the Senate filibuster to take back the House–might be a winning strategy!

They WILL recess, and they will come back after Labor Day… Gas will be $3.50/gal… By ELECTION DAY gas will be $3.25/gal… The LEMMINGS will say “that’s wonderful”, and vote these MORONS back in office… No crystal ball on this end, just stating FACT… COMMENTS???

and then they will start refining more heating oil and reformulating the fuel, at least here in kookafornia for the 11 time this year and watch the prices shoot right back up like they always do. So you numb nuts want to get out of the swamp for aug. Bush should call for an emergency session and call all these lame numb nuts back to sit in the heat no ac and work until this problem is solved. Its aboput time they figure out what its like to sweat like a pig with no ac . Now do your damn job congress and stop trying to drill my wallet for more money .

and don’t talk to me about saving the damn planet Nancy you witch . How many pesticides , and sulfur and other chemicals do you spray yearly on your vineyards and how much power dose your non union hotels use ??? When was the last time you paid for gas out of your own pocket. Now STFU the planet told me it hates you , your like a cold it just cant shake and you give it the trotts.

What part of 67% don’t Democrats understand?

All of it! Idiots like Reid, Pelosi, Durbin, and the rest read newspapers and watch the news just like everyone else. They know that people are out there hurting, but they don’t give a rat’s patootie! All that matters to your typical Democrat is acquiring power and then holding on to it no matter what! Pelosi especially has now gotten to the delusional place where she thinks there is something “mystical” about holding the Speaker’s seat. So don’t expect anything major with these goofs regardless of what they are hearing and seeing right now. Their general philosophy is something along the lines of “Don’t confuse me with the facts, my mind is already made up!”

What part of 67% don’t Democrats understand?
………….. about 100% of the 67%?

Rockmom, who is he the “oil man”? Maybe it is me and I am on the second cup of coffee, but I didn’t understand your paragraph.

I can only hope they continue on their present course towards the rocks.

GarandFan on July 30, 2008 at 12:35 PM

Does that mean we are going to drill their heads? That would be a dry hole for sure.
