Please how "nuanced" is Obama saying that inflating tires will be the answer to energy independence.
Hadn’t Obama ALREADY caved on the drilling issue when she was interviewed by Stephanopoulos?
Do you really think the Dems are that smart?
I said almost the exact thing last night on another thread. Great minds think alike Popman....It’s the old head fake game. Bush NEEDS to call an emergency session and get the deal the Republicans want on the table and voted on before this bites them in the azz...They can’t let the dunce boy get any positive exposure to this...
they also can’t get this to a vote on a Dem proposal because it will be chock full of restrictions. Then when Republicans vote no on the proposal, Dems and the media will scream to high heavens that the Republicans are in the pockets of big oil blah blah blah....
The damage is already done. Changing to support drilling now is going to be seen as just what it is, a capitulation. They may minimize the damage, but it isn’t going to help them.
I think you give her way too much credit. Good analysis, but the only thing that is missing to even give it a chance at credibility is Pelosi having a brain, which she clearly doesn't.
Her hammering away at releasing oil from the Strategic Oil Reserve is ample evidence of her brainlessness.
If this is the Dem plan, McCain should start predicting that Obama will soon come around to supporting McCain’s drilling plan. That should prevent the Dems from getting any credit for it when it happens.
To Nancy Fool-osi
Ambulances save our lives,
Yet none of them can go for drives
Without good oil.
You silly goil.
In other words (and the recent tightening in the polls tends to confirm this), maybe McCain's handlers know a little more than we give them credit for, and maybe the Democrats haven't yet regained their once fabled ability to fool most of the people all of the time.
What Nancy Pelosi does not want to become is Tom Daschle, the "retired" Democratic leader who got too far out of touch with his constituents and so lost his seat. |
Grandma Polosi should well remember what happened to Tom “The Rat” Dashel when he forgot who he really was working for. Enjoying retirement, Tom? Move over, you weasel...you are going to have company.
If nothing else, Congress could have lifted the moratorium on off shore drilling as a start. Noooooo....They have to have some big “scr** Americans and the oil companies FIRST.
They look at the poll numbers every day.
The guy is pretty much right on. The only issue the Repulicans had to limit their losses will be off the table. McCain’s stupidity has no bounds. He should have come out strong for drilling everywhere, including ANWAR, the rest of Alaska, and the western shale. Instead, like a complete idiot, he tries to please the enviroloons by continuing to resist drilling in ANWAR. Obama will soon be to the right of McCain on drilling. Pathetic.
Stephanopoulos to Pelosi: Why No Up or Down Vote on Drilling?

bump ‘cause I told you so
I don't buy it. The first thing Nancy Pelosi worries about — above Saving The Planet™, above helping Obama, above everything — is getting Nancy Pelosi re-relected. She hails from one of the most liberal Congressional districts in the United States. Hers are the people who honestly believe we can run the nation on Flower Power and Change™ if we just have the courage to abolish Big Oil.
