Breaking News: Pelosi 'No Energy' Bill Part of House Draft CR
Human Events ^ | 09/22/2008 | Jed Babbin

Posted on 09/22/2008 7:37:12 PM PDT by cp124

House Democrats are bypassing renewal of the offshore oil drilling ban by including the entire Pelosi “drill nothing” energy bill in a draft of a Continuing Resolution. HUMAN EVENTS obtained a copy of the most recent House draft CR this morning.

The Pelosi bill, HR 6899, fails to open more than a miniscule part of the available offshore drilling areas and -- even worse -- it establishes permanent bans on development of most other domestic energy sources (natural gas, oil shale, etc.) and does nothing to develop nuclear power. It passed the House earlier this month and is now languishing in the Senate as a separate measure.

As one member of Congress said last week, it’s got more incentives for bicycle riding than for nuclear power. Continued

We really need to bring energy and drilling back off the back burner if we’re going to win this election.

This election remains McCain’s to lose. It is up to him and his campaign people -— the have more ammo to use against the rotten left, than any candidate has ever had.

It really is a “free lunch” if they will just DO IT !!!!

What happened to the Sep 30 expiration of the Congressional drilling ban? Don’t they have to pass a new bill?

time to get back on the phones, email and letters to our congress critters and tell them that we need to open up drilling.
Why oh why is the Rat party so intent on seeing our economy go down the drain?

IF McCain can’t oppose the Left in this situation, how will he ‘reform’ anything if elected? He now has a powerful bully pulpit and everyone’s attention.

The dems are clearly biding their time hoping that a dem white house will allow them to do really stupid moves with regard to energy. What a bunch of tools!

It will be passed in the CR, and presumably will become permanent when the budget gets voted on.

I wish McCain could understand WHEN to go across the aisle. Now he says he would name Andrew Cuomo to his cabinet (SEC) who helped form this mortgage debacle when he ran HUD. Gramm-Leach deregulated financials, banks, and ins. but the Dems had already pushed subprimes under Reno, and continued to increase them when Raines, Gorelick et al ran Fannie and Freddie..

We must drill--union people and other Dems. (except those on the plantation tit) MUST realize WHERE Obama wants to take this country. He thinks we need to be more global, to depend on govt. more. He would totally finish wrecking us, besides making us vulnerable to more attacks.

I think Palin gets it, but McCain has been in the Senate so long, I do not believe he realizes the extent to which this country is being taken over by vicious leftists. He remembers Dems from earlier times who were also true Americans. Now too many are rabid socialists.
