WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she is not impressed by Republican efforts at reducing energy prices, or their attempts to publicize them.
Several GOP House lawmakers this week have taken the chamber by storm as Congress is officially on a five-week break and Democrats are out of town. The show continued Wednesday, its fourth day, with an appearance by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
The GOP members say it is to bring attention to Democrats' blocking a vote on offshore oil drilling legislation, an issue Republicans say would be a winner if it actually made it to a vote.
But Pelosi said Democratic initiatives, which don't include offshore drilling, are the answer to the country's high energy prices.
"The facts are clear," Pelosi wrote Tuesday in a letter to House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio. The Democratic-led Congress "has repeatedly brought forth proposals to increase domestic supply, reduce the price at the pump, protect American consumers and businesses and promote renewable energy and conservation.
"To date, Democrats have brought forward 13 major initiatives to accomplish the above goals and each time a majority of House Republicans have voted against these proposals."

Oh my! Those reviews just rip her!
It's a beautiful thing!
Why do you think she threw THIS in?
"...and each time a majority of House Republicans have voted against these proposals."
That's all it takes to keep insane libs believing that she is telling the truth!
Yep. Sad, isn't it?
And if Amazon hadn't of wiped out at least about 400 or 500 one star reviews, she could've had an overwhelming BIG FAT ZERO rating with a solid foundation!
Thanks Amazon... You San Fran Nan Butt-Kissin' Commies!
It's worse than sad. Why think when you can FEEEEL?!?
Not sure if that’s a video they did some time ago, or another one. But it goes to show how mindless these people on the left really are. It shouldn’t be expected for someone on the street to automatically relate “DiHydrogen Monoxide” with water on spur-of-the-moment contact, but to sign a petition just because someone shoves it in your face is asinine.
But as you say, they “feel” it’s the right thing to do. So no questions need be asked.
Must have taken up too much bandwidth. But they did get it up to two whole stars now!
Dems do control Congress, but only by a slight majority. To pass bills, or whatever, I believe a 60% majority is required, and they are not getting the 60% cause they only have a slight majority.
What do I have to do to get you to generate the earthquake? And make it a 10.0.
