Bill is
H.R.2784
TITLE:
To greatly enhance the Nation's environmental, energy, economic, and national security by terminating long-standing Federal prohibitions on the domestic production of abundant offshore supplies of natural gas, to dedicate fixed percentages of the resultant royalties for environmental restoration projects, renewable energy and carbon sequestration research, and weatherization and energy assistance for those in need, and to share a portion of such royalties with producing States, and for other purposes.
How do we get this thing thru the

A guy who works for an oil company said that since ANWR is so close to the pipeline in Alaska that’s already built, we could easily add the ANWR oil to the market in less than three years.
In the meantime, we can supplement with NUKE power.

Rep. John Peterson, a Republican from Pennsylvania, had high hopes for the bill. He was surprised it didnt pass, he told Cramer today. Theres a lot of members of the committee that were learning toward voting for it, Peterson said. There were some who had voted for it in the past. But in the end Pelosi power prevailed, the congressman continued, referring to Democratic majority leader Nancy Pelosi of California. She has great control of her caucus, Peterson said. And when they decide not to vote for something, they all vote no. I was disappointed in that.
So Republican lawmakers take another 14 year snooze:
The RNC should be screaming bloody murder!

It’s a good thing some of us either voted Democrat or didn’t vote at all back in 2006. That ought to teach the Republicans a lesson!

Just listened to the video. That guy Cramer is really annoying. I can’t forward that link to anyone. They’d think I’m a whack job.

LOL. I can’t listen to Cramer. I used to catch his show occasionally, he does sometimes say interesting things, but he got wackier and wackier. I don’t know if he’s losing his mind or if he thinks hysteria = ratings, but I got sick of him quickly and never listen to him anymore.

And people are getting killed
Today Dems rejected a plan to open US waters to drilling>
Gateway Pundit says:
Oil Prices Soared Today As Inventories Dropped
Do you think the Democratic plan of raising taxes on oil companies will help?
How about the Democratic plan to sue OPEC over gas prices?
Do you think that will help increase inventories?
Yeah! Raise taxes! That will make more oil! Sue OPEC! Theyll listen to a court!
How about we just, finally, allow Americans to have access to their own oil and oil shale deposits?
Gateways helpful chart on Democrat and GOP energy plans:
Had enough, yet?
Yes, its absolutely true: if we started drilling today, it would take years to get the oil refined and into the market
we should have started 30 years ago...
As Atlas Shrugs likes to say, "Read the whole thing" at the link-- the Anchoress is quite a good writer.

The RATS won’t give any kind of ‘victory’ to Pres Bush or to the Republican Party, especially during an election yar..The House and Senate DimocRATS have acted in the most disgraceful behavior since the Vietnam era...Their anti-war, anti-American sentiment has worn American’s patience to a thin edge and we hope they are all booted out in Nov ‘08 along with their cowardly, know nothing pres candidate..
What they are doing is affecting the rest of the world along with the USA..Gas prices are through the roof because OPEC and foreign countries control the price of oil..Every country in the world is paying higher prices and many countries are suffering as a result..This could result in a world wide depression...So much for the RATS caring for the poor and the impoverished..Their first and only care is for their backside...

I believe Rush said this one time, and I'll say it again. The primaries are where we teach moderate Republicans a lesson!
