Pelosi: Bush Drilling Proposal a Hoax Unworthy of Serious Debate on Gas Prices

Marketwatch.com ^ | 7/30/08 | Speaker of the House Nacy Pelosi

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Pelosi’s “hoax” talking point is just asinine.

[nikos1121]

Bush, bring these bast*rds back from recess and make them debate and vote on this issue. Do that and you’ll have scored enough points to make up for your dismal showing these past several months...

Better yet, declare a state of emergency, and mandate that drilling in ANWR and gulf start.

Don’t just vent your anger here, get out and do something! Every time you fill up, let everyone around you know why the price is so high. Write letters to the editor debunking this moron. Call your congressman every time you fill up and thank him for the high prices. Call the White House!

[houeto]

amazing, she really believes what her piehole is spouting.

Not a chance.

[Anti-Hillary]

Yo SanFranGran, YOU are a hoax and unworthy of the office you hold!!!

Bush needs to call a special session NOW and expose these clowns to Joe Sixpack. No R&R for congress until we get a resolution to this energy crisis!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Pelosi: Increasing the oil supply with fixed demand will not lower the price.

"Paging Adam Smith! Paging Adam Smith! Economic illiterate on aisle 5 needs cleanup."

If you like $4/gal, Thank No Drill Nancy. If you want $10, Vote No Oilbama.

Pray for W and Our Troops

Amazing, all the posters here that claim that President Bush "doesn't have a pair".

I defy anyone to stand up to as much as he has, and have nearly the same amount of success.

You ideological purists, who probably are the same ones who protest voted in 2006 that led to this "see you next Tueday" as Speaker, are going to get us nothing in return. And then you'll be wishing for "the President that needed to 'grow a pair'".

I am not an ideological purist, thank you. I disagreed with W on his stance on illegal immigration and his unwillingness to listen to his base on the issue. I also disagreed with much of his wasteful spending. Likewise, I don't particularly like much of what McCain embodies, but I intend on holding my nose and voting for him because the alternative is unthinkable to me. I NEVER voted Democrat to "make a point" nor have I EVER failed to vote in any election or primary since I was old enough to vote.

I am entitled to criticize the president for failing to stand up to Nancy on this or any other issue. Until recently, W did NOT make a case for drilling. I am glad that he did and I think that is why prices are falling as they are. I don't, however, want him to stop now or for any of the GOP to become complacent regarding our need for energy independence.

One question the MSM would not ask the Democrat Nominee for President, would a President Obama veto an offshore/ANWR drilling bill if passed by congress?

[kayworthy]

Forget the price, Nancy. We need to assure we have enough oil to continue our lifestyle, it’s in the interest of our national security. We bought Alaska so we could have it’s resources so let’s commence with the drilling already.

How's this?

[usmcobra]

great one

[Uri’el-2012]

Excellent !!

[houeto]

Americans know that thanks to the two oilmen in the White House, as well as the THOUSANDS of other American oilmen and women working their asses off to supply this nation with energy consumers are now paying $4 a gallon for gas, Americans are able to buy fuel at half the price of bottled water, and fuel could be MUCH CHEAPER if it weren't for Pelosi and her Democrats!.

There, fixed it much better.

[houeto]

There, fixed it much better.

IMHO

[Christian4Bush]

EXCELLENT!!!

[eaglestar]

Whatever happened to the radio campaign I forgot which radio show it was where the host was urging everyone to mail their representatives a drill bit? Drill bits of all sizes,, the time has come to start a new drill bit campaign.

[linn37]

Pelosi better pray there is no cold snap in October in the Northeast. A nice northerner to force people to run the furnace could be worth millions of votes.

[Brimack34]

The democrats love to open the door right in their face. Or the American voters are really as stupid as they think.
