Polite procedures allow for the Speaker to manage what votes make it to the floor for a vote, mostly just to facilitate normal process (there are far more votes desired than there is time for). HOWEVER, such rules can - and are - abused at times to prevent very popular bills from being voted on. In this case, there is clearly much support to end the ban on domestic oil drilling, but the few hardcore opponents (led by Pelosi) are abusing the voting procedures to prevent the subject from being voted on.
One technique, currently at issue, is to delay a vote until a standard recess period arrives. Despite so many Congressmen wanting to vote on this bill, Pelosi arranged for a FIVE-WEEK recess to start today. Oh, gee, guess we can’t get to that drilling bill for over a month, sorry.
Well, we'd damn well better be ready for House war when they reconvene. Let's get our R rep's pumped.
now is the time for RECESS APPOINTMENTS!!!!
PLEASE HEAR THIS PRAYER . . .
If remotely possible, bring Nancy P (and all other traitors supporting her action in the House and Senate) to brokenness, humility and wholesale public repentance.
If that is not possible, then wholesale and thoroughly and permanently remove her from public office in a very dramatic and humiliating way.
Serve notice on all the clueless traitors, Lord, that they will reap what they sow. Serve notice on all the evil hearted in Washington that there is ALMIGHTY GOD IN HEAVEN WATCHING THEIR EVERY MOVE, EVERY WORD, EVERY BREATH.
LET GOD ARISE AND HIS ENEMIES BE SCATTERED.
IN JESUS' NAME.
LET ALL EARNEST CHRISTIANS WHO FEEL LED TO PRAY ACCORDINGLY, SIMILARLY, DO SO IN AGREEMENT WITH THIS PRAYER.
So let it be prayed. So let it be done.
Amen.
