I just sent the link to this thread to my PM Drive time radio (WRVA) and to an early AM conservative FM station in Alabama

Because I want to see SOMETHING that indicates there’s something real & viable going on. I was hugely enthused - until the Repubs said “oh, look, time to go home”. They quit before I could even get in the car to head to DC. If I started driving this morning when they started, they’ll be gone before I get there. 9-5 weekday-only revolutions don’t work.

Funny, I’m asking for indications of something _real_ going on, and I’m merely being criticized for not showing blind enthusiasm.

Pelosi to Steffi yesterday, admitting that she considers her actions as tactics:

STEPHANOPOULOS: But why not allow votes on all that? When you came in as Speaker you promised in your commitment book “A New Direction for America,” let me show our viewers, you said that “Bills should generally come to the floor under a procedure that allows open, full, fair debate consisting of full amendment process that grants the Minority the right to offer its alternatives.” If they want to offer a drilling proposal, why can’t they have a vote?

PELOSI: They’ll have to use their imagination as to how they can get a vote and then they may get a vote.

How many Representatives are “doing a great job”?

[rodguy911]

Its hard to. You guys are giving so much and working so hard you shouldn’t have to put up with bozos like that.

[DJ MacWoW]

Compare this to your erroneous assertion. SHE controls what comes to the floor!

Stephanopoulos to Pelosi: Why No Up or Down Vote on Drilling?

[ctdonath2]

Did. AFAIK, he’s home.

Robert Bluey on #dontgo says Fox is covering the presser live and that Rep Barrett says that if all of our conference will commit to one day a week, we could go all of August.

[penelopesire]

Thanks!!

[netmilsmom]

He may come back.

Lots did.

[ctdonath2]

Please engage my enthusiasm. Seriously, I’m asking for some reason to believe in this other than sheer hype. I WAS enthused until the “House revolt” was called on account of weekend.

Per DangerGirl6 on #dontgo

Eric Cantor is up.

Excellent work, CB. Thanks for helping to fan this spark into full-fledged fire!

KEEP CALLING FOLKS!!!

Why in the H*LL isn’t the press all over this??? I’m so mad I could spit!

[rodguy911]

It's extremely interesting but I tracked down 70 google links and could not find another corroborating soul other than Williams. Turns out there is oil at Gull Island only maybe not as much as Williams said.

YOU ROCK!!
