Default Pelosi Blocks Gas Price Relief

By Henry Lamb
July 29, 2008

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told CNN that she would block any vote to allow offshore drilling. This remarkable stance comes in the face of the latest poll that says 73 percent of Americans favor offshore drilling, while only 27 percent oppose it. Nancy Pelosi again displays her contempt for her employer, the American people. Her arrogance and wrong-headed philosophy have led Congress to an approval rating of a staggering 14 percent, the lowest ever.

The arguments she advances in defense of her position are, at best, silly, and at worst, devious. She says she will not allow additional reserves to be drilled because oil companies already hold leases on 68 million acres of federal land that are not being drilled. She ignores the testimony of oil company representatives who tell her that had they found oil under these lands, they would be pumping it. The oil companies need to drill where the oil is.

Its Not About Alternative Energy
Its about breaking the middle class. Pelosi, Reid, and the dhimmicrats don't give a furry rats butt about solar, wind, or hydrogen powered cars. The only power they care about is their own.
Power to rule unfettered and impose their twisted ideologies on America and turn us into a third world country while they continue to live like the elitists they are. They already have their little piece of the American dream, and they will stop at nothing to make sure none of us ignorant peasants get ours.
The logic is diabolical. Keep the price of fuel as high as possible so we spend more of our money just trying to get by. They know that as long as we have disposable income we can pretty much do as we please. (as long as we act like adults of course.)
Disposable income is freedom. The more money you have to play, the happier you are. Some of us require less than others. (I personally am very low-maintainence)
They couldn't get the oil execs, so now they're going after the speculators. Stop the speculators, they say, and we can fix this. They even take credit for the recent price drops, because, they claim, just talking about stopping them has forced them to back down.

Bravo Sierra.

Reid says coal is making us sick and we have to stop using it.

Again BRAVO SIERRA.

I've already posted video and hundreds of words about the clean coal technology currently being used by Dominion Resources right here in Virginia. It works. Dominion Resources has and is investing hundreds of millions of dollars converting existing facilities and building new ones to use this technology. It's safe, it's clean and it actually reduces gypsum mining because the by-product of the scrubbing process is gypsum.
It's time for Americans to tell the dhimmicrats we've had enough of their Bravo Sierra.

If they want us to develop alternative energy, I'm all for that. But for that to happen, we have to be comfortable right now. New ideas are not forced in times of emergency, they are developed over beers and BBQ in the backyards of average Amercians with time on their hands and nothing else to do but kick ideas back and forth.

They continue to ignore the will of a majority of the American public, 75% of whom are ready to punch holes and pump oil wherever it is.

DRILL HERE DRILL NOW STOP SCREWING WITH OUR MONEY
you greedy, manipulative, coniving, heartless, calculating, Marxist (rhymes with witch).

I will probably be the morning joke for saying this but it is now time for a San Francisco Tea Party.

It is time for American's to take the bull by the horns, (in this case the teat), and demand that action be taken immediately.

Enough of this public discourse, debate and inaction. It's time to grab the clubs.

Angry Re: Pelosi Blocks Gas Price Relief

What else can we expect from a Government run by crooked lawyers. They don't practice law, nor do they practice Democracy. A lifetime spent in politics can only lead to corruption. I believe there are a few in Congress that are honest but, their hands are tied because the core of government has been corrupt for generations thanks mostly to the elite and corporate society. Until lobbying is stopped and special interests are hogtied we can only expect to go the way of old Rome.
I feel much sorrow for the forthcoming generations of Americans, they will be born into slavery. How very, very sad .

Guess you can't really hang it all on Pelosi, the wicked witch of the west. The fault lies as it always does, with the "loons" who keep electing this miserable excuse for a human!!

The strange thing is even though Pelosi's stand goes against overwhelming public support for more drilling the Idiot's in her district will no doubt re-elect her by a landslide inspite of her contempt for popular opinion and her obstructionist rule over the house of representatives.

This story really contains nothing New so the question remains, What can be done about it and when do we do it? I suppose it comes back to the article yesterday about Bush being able to bring them back into session in August.
We may have to suffer the high fuel cost but the opportunity to shove this down the Dummycrats throat this November remains.

Those who reelect Pelosi are beyond hope; the first strike against them is that they reside in California. What is beyond imagination is those who select her as Boss of the House; are they as hopeless as Pelosi's direct constituency?

The more I hear/read about Botox and the dumbdems (and some RINOs) stonewalling on offshore drilling, the more I am turning towards another revolution.

Brain-dead pols - if there was sufficient oil on the leased lands, do you really think the oil companies would sit on their hands while still paying rent for these leases? What planet are you from?

The people blocking this bill need to be kicked out of office - it needs as much publicity as possible - word of mouth, 'net, etc.

Grandson told me summer school teacher told class the oil companies are responsible for gas prices - sent him home with articles I printed off illustrating just WHO was responsible and I told him to repeat my message - it is the damn democrats.
