    And yet, they refuse to tell the citizens of America what is in their"plan". Why is that? What do they have to hide? They are our employees, and yet they refuse to do what we order them to do. Why is that, again?

    Proof: While McCain backed the unpopular and ultimately successful surge, his stance on offshore drilling is exactly the opposite. In this case, Obama is correct in asserting that drilling will neither alleviate oil prices in the short term nor reduce oil dependency in the long term. It is the wrong move in every respect, and is a placebo solution that is supported by McCain and Republicans simply to shore up votes. With increased demand from China and the rest of the developing world, gas prices are not coming down. Period.

    Also, I doubt that Republicans will gain in the house, given national polling figures, regardless of what direction Pelosi takes on the energy issue.

    ChairFace,

    It is likely that the push for energy independence through an all-of-the-above approach,(the foundation of which is drill now) has driven oil prices down to near $100 a barrel. It has already proven to be the right move economically. It is also likely that allowing drilling will lower the price even more whether or not the oil will be available very quickly.

    I don't know... I have a difficult time getting excited over this information. I get the feeling that they're just trying to cover for walking away from the issue earlier. As of right now they look bad and may say anything to win people back.
    I don't trust Pelosi and her cronies ... that lady is crazier than a mattress full of bedbugs

    Drilling, pumping, and refining. These will alleviate our current fuel price problem. McC has consistently opposed using American resources, and has, in fact, bought into the "glowball warmening" horseshit. So Toiletmug has a point. Totally unrelated to the actual subject, but a point nonetheless.

No, that was Madame Pelosi, whose Iron Fist in the matter has apparently been broken (or at least dented a bit!)
    This is the first [i]benchmark[/i] for a democratic government in Washington!

    I think there are a lot of people in the United States that would approve of some daring drilling techniques on Pelosi.

    After all, she is from San Francisco. Brings a new meaning to a "San Francisco treat."

    Putting Pelosi in charge of energy development is like making Josef Mengele Secretary of medical research.

    Or Chris Benoit in charge of Family Planning...
  • Eneils Bailey · 1 year ago
    Chris Benoit... I was never a fan of that sport(?).

    He had issues that should have been addressed and resolved without resorting to violence.
  • RebTex · 1 year ago
    True
    But his method was to terminate the Family just as pelosi seeked to terminate discussions concerning domestic drilling.

    Just think, if Pelosi would put all her brain power and personal skills together to solve the energy crisis that she used on her trip to the Middle East she could have all of us farting through silk and buying gasoline at a buck a gallon.

    After all, isn't the Middle East now at peace after her visit.

    Anna I don't trust Pelosi there is a double cross here. They dems think they can stall until they think they are going to get major gains in seat, which may not happen for them. The GOP must stand strong and not compromise. I am sure there some leftard pork in here.
  • golfmann · 1 year ago
    Yea, it's a con....
    But I think the damage for Dems in a lot of ways has been done.

    And to all the Dems that say drilling won't help.

    You are showing your ignorance big time of how the real world works.

    I thought they said that they weren't going to reduce production, that was on Fox news before I went to work today.

    [quote]N.Y. Oil Falls, Brent Drops Below $100, as OPEC Signals No Cuts
    By Mark Shenk

    Sept. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Crude oil fell to a five-month low in New York and Brent oil in London dropped below $100 a barrel as the Saudi Arabian and Venezuelan oil ministers signaled that OPEC will maintain production levels when it meets today in Vienna.

    Here it is,"Oil rises on Opec production curb"

    "After talks in Vienna, Opec president Chakib Khelil said the measures to curb over-production amounted to a cut of 520,000 barrels a day within 40 days."

    And there is going to be a massive up tick in terrorism in Indonesia because of this,"Meanwhile, Indonesia has suspended its membership of Opec.", bet your ass on it.

    ""The conference regretfully accepted the wish of Indonesia to suspend its full membership in the organisation and recorded its hope the country would be in a position to rejoin the organisation in the not too distant future," Opec said in a statement." This translates to "We will punish them for this insolence and force them to submit."

    Sarah Palin letter to Harry Reid on Energy Policy.
    Is she a "Energy Expert"?
    http://strategicthought-charles77.blogspot.com/...

    Any comments??

    [quote]If we don't move now to enact an energy policy that includes more oil and gas production from domestic sources, including ANWR and the federal OCS, we may look back someday and realize that we failed to perceive a critical crossroad in the history of this nation. I don't think it's overly dramatic to say that this nation's future and the quality of life for every American are dependent on the decisions you make or don't make in the next few months.

    She is right.
  • 2Hotel9 · 1 year ago
    Chuck, she is damned well more of an "energy expert" than Pinkie Reid will ever be. All he is expert at is stealing people's homes and tax dollars. Oh, and lying. He is quite expert at lying his thieving ass off.
