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.”

9% Nancy....has a nice ring to it.

[Obadiah]

Paging the GOP. If you guys would like to win some seats, here’s an excellent opening.

The GOP is either too stupid, or utterly brain dead for not even having the grade school smarts to hang the 9% approval rating high gas prices around Pelosi and the Democrat's necks. Oh wait, maybe the GOP still wants to "reach out" as they circle the election drain.

We should start calling Nancy Pelosi “Ida Know”, after the Family Circus character...

[CPT Clay]

hey Nancy...Prove it!

[bamahead]

They’re too inept to respond to anything obvious.

They’re too busy scratching their heads figuring out how to get re-elected to actually do anything about it...getting elected that is.

GOP and ‘leadership of any kind’ is currently a total misnomer. There is ZILCH.

truly a cunning stunt

9% approval rating Pelosi:

My possession of a brain is a ‘a hoax’

[CPT Clay]

yeah good luck running your car on “win and Solar”!!!!!

[RichInOC]

Question: Could we “drink the milkshake”, so to speak, from wells outside ANWR?

[CPT Clay]

Too bad we don’t have pitchforks any more. If Barak wins I will buy an AR-15 and lots of ammo. Maybe even a Glock!

[gimme1ibertee]

Forget the GOP...they’re MIA,and have been for quite some time.
It’s just so frustrating that,here is such a golden opportunity,served up on the silverest of platters to them, and they are so pathetically spineless...GRRRR!
Makes me want to scream like Babs Streisand...
“WAKE UP!!!!”

The hoax is claiming ANWR is some kind of pristine wilderness. When the American public sees it for what it is, they will realize the total hoax being perpetrated by the left.

[thackney]

No, world record horizontal drilling reaches are about 8 miles. You would only get a small amount of the ANWR Coastal Plain.

[gimme1ibertee]

LOLOL!!! Good play!

[gathersnomoss]

This is a game where you and I are pawns. Oh yeah, screw our children, they will be taken care of by the state.

Our friends, the Republicans, are an absolute player in this shell game. There will be no blasting by the Republicans in this zone. You may see an occasional quarter stick of dynamite, but nothing more.

People are expendable. So is your vote. You see, our money is in the governments hands. Now, go on and play.

[smedley64]

Nancy Pelosi needs a rubber room and a nice, comfy straightjacket. It truly speaks to how low we’ve sunk that such an imbecile has risen to such a high rank in our government. Very, very sad for America. DC needs an enema to flush out waste like Pelosi.

[TheWasteLand]

They seem really disorganized and lethargic. I hope someone will whip them into shape soon, and get a coherent conservative message on the issues that will win elections this year - energy, economy, borders, and language (thanks Obama for this freebie, you moron).

The year that was supposed to be the Democrats could easily turn into a GOP triumph. It's the GOP's to lose.

[gidget7]

I wish we could find out Pelosi is a hoax!

[Arrowhead1952]

DA pelosi speaks her hoax of a mind

and DA does not stand for District Attorney

[TheWasteLand]

GOP and ‘leadership of any kind’ is currently a total misnomer.

Yeah, they seem rudderless. Hopefully this will change.
