About what I expected from that stupid wench....
Thanks for the links.
Here is why the Republicans are going to get clobbered in November. If anybody had any brains at RNC, RCCC, RSCC, there would be ads run on TV with Pelosi's quote in the background while images of abandoned cars and closed factories and crying kids not getting a ride to their Little League or soccer games flicked across the TV.
In 1980, not only did Reagan win, but the Republicans took the Senate and made big gains in the House. One of the reasons was an effective campaign that started early. It included a TV ad that had Tip O'Neil riding along in his limousine laughing while the driver keeps wanting to stop for gas because he's running dry. This was just after O"Neil and Carter's screw ups resulted in the second gas line crisis. Finally the limo runs out of gas and a befuddled O'Neil is stuck on the side of the road asking what happened.
Don't expect a similar ad about Pelosi from the current Republican clowns.
But, but, but....... all the Dems said increasing supply wouldn’t help.
Figures Queen Pelosi would be the first to break ranks and show their hypocrisy.
Which just shows how little the American people have learned up to this point. They would be better off financially, in the long run, to buy a small, high mileage vehicle.
Priuses are overrated in the mileage department and the difference between one of them and a real economy gas car nowhere near compensates for the difference in vehicle purchase price. Or potential maintenance expense.
In the grand scheme of things hybrids, as they are now, are not much more than an environmental pipe dream. Until we are willing to seriously confront the supply side of the energy equation, this kind of thing is feel good BS.
So, let me get this right. Releasing a few million barrels of oil from the strategic reserves will lower the price at the pump... for a few days, if it has any effect at all, but drilling in ANWR and off the coasts where the wells will provide a few million barrels per day, EVERY DAY won’t loser the price at the pump?
Just wait until those hybrid batteries start showing up in the landfills. Then we will see some interesting explanations. Sort of like the gas additives that ended up in the ground water.
I doubt it will lower the price at all. Any drop in inventory sends the bidding up, up and away these days.
At these level it would be useless and not only that, a waste of the reserves. Florida, California and Alaska are all going have to open up drilling.
OOOO GOODY!!!
Lets dump the Home Heating Oil Reserve TOO,,,
All 10 days worth,,,
And take away Air Force 3,,,
She can just ride her Broom...:0)
You got that right. "Strategic" has a special meaning, and we should not tap those reserves as a response to high prices. The reserves should be tapped only if there's a shortage that makes petroleum products unavailable. The quick fix is rarely the right way to go.
She just wants to bring prices down a bit to take the issue out of the minds of voters until after the elections.
She is a scumbag.
Thank the Democrats for blocking domestic oil exploration, refusing to consider the extension of tax cuts and generally showing no understanding of their laws on the economy. Why else would they elect incompetent pinheads like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi to positions of leadership?
Heaven help us if Barack Obama ends up in the White House with this Congress ready to send him their idiotic bills.
What a goat cluster-copulation this has all become....We the people of the United States have to literally ‘beg’ Nancy Pelosi and her band of Dem Slimes to ‘allow’ us to get more of our own oil? Utterly maddening.....They want change??? let’s give them the CHANGE they deserve and throw their rotten carcasses out of office!
The SPRO hold 727 million barrels of crude oil. The United States uses 21 million barrels of oil per day. That's 25 days of oil. BIG DEAL! If you use it up, won't we have to replace it due to national security? And won't we be replacing it with oil costing much more? Pelosi want to take this oil purchases at $50/barrel and sell it at $145/barrel to pay for liberal wet dream program and then the taxpayer will have to refill the SPRO at $150/barrel. Pelosi is a criminal.
You could run the ad in the week before Nov 4. The moderates and independents are not that stupid. $4+ gallons of gas hurts.
Environmental support dips vs. economy - poll (nearly three in four favor offshore drilling)
Only the willfully stupid or ignorant don't know who's fault this is - dems and RINOs are responsible for this. At least McRINO can read the wind. The GOP should be able to wrap this energy mess on the donkeys, and take back Congress.

Interesting info at that site...
~~~
” According to the World Factbook[5], the United States imports a net 12 million barrels (1.9×106 m³) of oil a day (MMbd), so the SPR holds about a 58-day supply. However, the maximum total withdrawal capability from the SPR is only 4.4 million barrels (7.0×105 m³) per day, making it a 160 + day supply.”

That sure ain’t much...:0/
