Nancy Pelosis House of Representatives yesterday passed on a party line vote a drilling bill that effectively allows no drilling. She hates drilling, and this bill was solely an attempt to avoid becoming the Former Speaker of the House. The Senate bills arent any better. Wherever the House bill would allow limited drilling, say in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, the Senate bill would forbid it.
The real story is that the Republicans know they are on the winning side of this issue and if they can kill this legislation, the moratorium will expire on September 30, and drilling can begin everywhere. The Dems can expect a filibuster, and, if they get by that, a veto from the President.

I don’t have the fund of knowledge that you do, but I concur. Thank you also for saying, “But in politics, you have to know when to go in for the kill. Gingrich had that instinct. I don’t know if Boehner has it,....” As a former liberal, I need to be reminded regularly that I don’t know everything. I had not been giving Boehner the benefit of the doubt. I will now.
