Pelosi: Drilling in protected areas ‘a hoax’ By Jared Allen Posted: 07/10/08 01:28 PM [ET] House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday shut the door on expanding oil and gas drilling beyond areas that have already been approved for energy exploration, drawing a clear distinction from her counterparts in charge of the Senate.

“This call for drilling in areas that are protected is a hoax, it’s an absolute hoax on the part of the Republicans and this administration” Pelosi said at her weekly press conference. “It’s a decoy to punt your attention away from the fact that their policies have produced $4-a-gallon gasoline.”

“It’s a decoy to punt your attention away from the fact that their policies have produced $4-a-gallon gasoline.”

It wasn’t $4 gasoline until you took the Speakership and your cronies took the majority of the do nothing, wrong direction Congress.

Year 3, zero accomplishments. Bravo, Madame Speaker.

That would be the current policies limiting domestic drilling and building refineries.

If it’s a hoax, why not allow it? The oil companies would just be throwing their money away, right? Or does Ms. Pea-Brain think that they are just looking for an excuse to pollute the planet while generating no more revenue? Holy crap. How did this insufferable idiot ever become Speaker of the House?

Dumber than I’d thought: She doesn’t even know what “hoax” means. The Piltdown Man was a hoax. She means (and later said) a distraction or decoy. ... which is also wrong, but at least it’s the concept she had in mind.

Peloser’s criticizing Left Wing policies here. Democrats have truly become like little children in their incompetence and inability to take responsibility for anything.

The thing that's causing gas prices to be so high is the new Democrat's Party Mantra: "Wind & Solar, Wind & Solar, Wind & Solar, Wind & Solar, Wind & Solar, Wind & Solar, (No Nukes), Wind & Solar, Wind & Solar...

If the spineless weenies in the House were serious, they could get enough signatures for a Discharge Petition and then this plastic-faced harridan would have to let the bill to drill come to the floor.
Until then, I wish the oil companies would block shipments of fuel to CA. Let those who vote for this witch walk.

You, Pelosi, are a hoax, and so is your Congress. In addition to more drilling, we would like the following:
1) Allow oil shale technology to be produced and implemented
2) Build more nuclear plants
3) Tap into the huge reserves of coal and natural gas
4) Resign

Thank you!

A hoax would be Congress trying to prove it’s accomplished anything in the time since the Democrats took over.

“9% approval rating”

Pelosi has made herself a big target. Republicans need to go after her hard as being too stupid to lead.

Uh...Nancy...Hellooo!!

You've been controlling the show since 2006 and gas has risen from $2.56 when you took control to $4.11 now. It would seem to me that it's YOUR policies that have failed. Now drop the political BS and fix it...NOW, you duplicitous bit$h!

No Pelosi, with your 9% approval, with your lies, with your own failed and broken promises and lack of any plan to address fuel prices and the oil situation, the one thing that is clear to everyone is that it is you and your cohorts who are the hoax.

...and you want to put an even bigger hoax into the Whitehouse in the form of one Barack Hussein Obama.

Anytime anyone posts anything related Pelosi, Reid or the Congress in general, this will by my response... “9% approval rating.”

It just says it all.
