Obama: "Let me be clear... I have never given a fixed withdrawal date for drilling..."

[KC_Conspirator]

This is good. They need to take this down to the state level and say that a voter for my opponent is a vote for Pelosi.

McCain has found the recipe for success! They want to run against Bush, well then let Obama run against this failure of a Senate’s record and 12% approval.
Obama is on his heels right now and this couldn’t come at a better time! It actually gets me pumped that he seems to be getting it.

Boehner bashed Pelosi, Reid, and Obama on Fox News this morning.

The Dems’ obstructionism has me pissed off! I want my elected representatives to be able to represent me!

What the heck took them so long? They should have been taking to dems long ago. Spineless wimps.

barack mcgovern will be like a flaming gasoline filled tire around the neck of many rats. HE will be the problem. HE will be the best one to link other rat candidates to. In my town the rat is licking his whiskers over taking an open seat. It's the only GOP seat in NYC ( Staten Island )BUT if the Republican who is running is smart he will tie the rat's tail to B-mac’s gay “marriage” anti Catholic pro cut and run, anti drilling and super pro abortion positions. That could possibly hold the seat, although it does not look good.

Republicans have tussled internally over the tenor of their attacks on the Democratic majority since the party assumed minority status after catastrophic losses at the polls in 2006.

It is soooooo time to weed out the week-kneed, wobbly "Republicans".

Lindsey Graham-nesty (who is currently pretending to be a GOPer) isn't fooling any of us, either.

If the GOP wants to define the issue, they might begin with the following.

DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS...

The party of malignant blames, Stalinist accusations, and unforgivable stands against America in the War on Terror, a vital economy, and sufficient and secure supplies of energy.

Rep. Adam Putnam (R-Fla.) and Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) will greet Obama’s arrival with a news conference in which they’ll assert that Reid (D-Nev.) and Pelosi (D-Calif.) are holding up votes on offshore drilling in order to protect Obama.

Assert? ASSERT!!??? How about make a statement of public fact? Reid and Pelosi have publicly admitted that they won't allow any legislation to come to the floor for debate OR a vote if it involves drilling for oil!! There's no assertion there, just an admission of treason, malfeasance, anti-Americanism and commission of a hate (America) crime!!!

They’ll also begin to use “Pelosi-Reid-Obama” in the all-in-the-same-breath way that Democrats now use “Bush-McCain” — to make the parties’ popular candidates indistinguishable from their less beloved incumbents.

That's a good move, I'd like to hear it loudly and frequently. Pelosi has better name recognition than Reid with the casual observer, so maybe a mashup with her name would have better sticking power. How about Obamalosi?

[VOR78]

Its about time. I’ve said all along that among all of the many drawbacks of a possible Obama presidency, the fact that he will ultimately just be signing off on the Pelosi-Reid agenda as it comes through Congress is perhaps the biggest reason of all to vote against him.

[Sunsong]

Barack Obama returns to Capitol Hill on Tuesday to speak with House Democrats, and Republicans will try to spoil the party by linking the Democrats’ presidential nominee to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and their reluctance to allow votes on offshore oil drilling.

Jeez - about time! They need to rail against the left on drilling eight days a week - 28 hours a day!
