Who the hell does this woman think she is?
She’s trying to save this planet.
What arrogance.
In defense of Nancy, she is representing her constituency - the hard left of San Francisco. These are the “fantasyland” people of a physically beautiful city. They sit on top of Nob and Russian Hills, sipping their lattes and pontificating and how to solve the world’s problems, even if it means that millions are hurt.
But while they think they epitomize the libertarian ideal of “do what you want and no one has the right to interfere,” they of course have taken it to the level where one group’s right have infringed on the rights of others. Their moral outrage at cars and pollution (I grew up in SF - you should hear these people), results in everyone outside of SF suffering. I have not been back.
another reason Obama and all Liber Democrats must not be allowed to run the United States legislative/executive branch!
And always done with some sleight of hand “parliamentary” trick or rule change. Never straight forward business.
Title should be: Pelosi blocks offshore drilling that COUNTRY wants.
Do it. Do whatever you have to do to make this election a national referendum on the "do nothing, good for nothing" DEMOCRAT CONTROLLED Congress.
Congress has a 9% approval rating and falling. Most voters probably don't even realize that the Democrats have controlled both houses of Congress since 1996.
Every Republican running for any office in the US needs to stop referring to Obama and start consistently referring to "Pelosi, Reid & Obama" as if they were one amorphous blob of liberal slime.
It has been a long decade.
Wait a minute. It’s one thing to represent your contituency, it’s another to perform the duties of Speaker of the House.
We had control of Congress and we squandered it.
One thing the GOP MUST do is to always refer to Congress as "The Democrat Congress". We should never refer to Congress without the word "Democrat".
A significant number of people honestly don't know that Congress is currently under Democrat control! ...so their horrible approval rating is hurting the GOP too, and it shouldn't be.
Democrat Congress: Repeat as necessary.
2 choices you can use her email address for non-constituents
AmericanVoices@mail.house.gov
or when you call you can fib and say you live in zip code 94102
San Francisco, CA - (415) 556-4862
Washington, DC - (202) 225-4965
And WHEN you call or write, be sure to tell Shrieker Pelosi’s phone wenches that you are joining up with ‘Californians for Sheehan’ to oust Pelousy’s ass outta that plush office of hers.
Yet another fabrication from Ms. Pelosi. On July 11, President Bush talked about lifting the ban on offshore drilling and within minutes, the price of oil had dropped about $9 per barrel. It has since dropped more than $20 per barrel and its still falling. Imagine what the price would do if we openly committed to developing our own oil resources.
See, Nancy, its not just the oil supply that influences prices but the prospective oil supply. You know, those nasty speculators you rail against? If they see that more oil is coming in the near future, they will lower their price predictions and the price of oil will drop long before a drop of new oil hits the market.
But then, this isn't really about oil prices, is it? Its all about winning an election. Prolong the people's suffering for short term political gain. Blind hatred will do that to you.
“that a slim majority of Californians now favor offshore drilling”
Yes, its a slim margin of only 75% favoring offshore drilling!
If it is going to take 10 years, shouldn't we get started? Drill here, drill now, pay less |
There. Fixed it.
