Please note how the Repubs are rolling over and grabbing their ankles once again and shooting themselves in the foot in the process.
WHY, do they even have to TRY and work with the RATS?
If ONE R Congresscriter had "a pair" (and its obvious there is not a one) they would simply hammer the Rats over and over and over, regarding their unwillingness to allow offshore exploration and make it a central issue in the upcoming elections.
But noooooo, they are playing right into the DemoRats' hands and will allow the libs to get on board (AND TAKE CREDIT) for what I predict will be a farce.
Oh, by the way, did anyone notice the absence of any mention about ANWAR???
No surprise there.
Sheesh, is it any wonder that I (and so many other Conservatives) will stay home this November?
There's not a dime's worth of difference between the Socialist Rats and the Wuss Pubes!!!
Compromise is always sought and many pride themselves for being able to do so, but some issues are so sensitive, that it is a futile exercise, especially when the errancy of past policies is so readily evident.
Some politicians are just not up to the task, which is really sad, when so many who voted in good faith are only getting stiffed again and know it, yet willingly buy the line of that is just how things work.
Bullcrap. This should not be business as usual. A majority of hard-working people deserve better.
If our own elected officials will not fight for us, then why should we continue to fight for them? They say we get what we deserve. I disagree, we fail as a whole when so few are so entangled in gaining and retaining power and forgetting why they were elected in the first place.
We know the dems could care less what we pay at the pump and the store, but when the GoP seems almost as indifferent or ineffectual, then it is time for them to move on and get people in there that will put the people’s welfare ahead of their own.
There's going to be more ethanol boondoggles, more envirowacko mandates and other crap that will neutralize whatever drilling is going to be allowed in the compromise.
The Republicans have all the leadership of a caboose.
