LOL - When Rep. Bill Archer retired, we wondered if we could find somebody as good to represent us. I think we did all right. :-D

It's been said that Texas District 7 is one of the most conservative in the U.S.

This is just good politics on her part - if the pubs were doing it we’d be cheering

But good politics is a two edged sword, and it can be turned against her to make her look like an imperial power grabbing harpy (not that she isnt)

It is better to get the word out in a grassroots way, and have the population putting pressure on Nan to turn the lights back on. There is more than one way to skin a cat (with apologies to the viking kitties)

Nancy Pelosi and her jack-booted Ministry of Suppression must be stopped.

Best description of the head House RAT and the press that I have EVER heard!

IIRC, it was a serious oil spill in SF Bay that served as impetus to give envirowackos leverage to block efforts to drill and to make it easier for refineries to be built (for profit).

Sadly, the opportunity to leverage domestic drilling wasn’t leveraged as it could have been when the Exxon Valdez oil spill occurred. The risks due to tankers is much greater than due to offshore drilling.

Reagan asked for offshore drilling.

Denied.

Republicans in the 90s asked for offshore drilling.

Denied.

President Bush asked for offshore drilling.

Denied.

Now at $4 per gallon, public opinion has turned in favor of drilling. The environmental wackos are losing their grasp over their members of Congress and LaPelosi knows it.

They’ve even lost the support of Obama, who is flip flopping yet again.

This is a great opportunity for Republicans in Congress to do the right thing. It’s a point of vulnerability the Dems did not account for in their CW about Dem strength in November.

LET'S ROLL, folks!

It's time for justice!

The fallow ground of the poor would yield much food,
but it is swept away through injustice. Proverbs 13:23

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...

She wasn’t there on Friday, though.

Got her on Facebook and asked her to be there on Monday!

America still sleeps. They have no clue this is happening nor do they care. It’s those “Republicans” fault that prices are so high, and that War mongering “Oil Man” President.

I disagree. Shutting the cameras off is foolish politics on her part and she’s doing it because she is accustomed to the old media covering for her. The old ways are gone and the cover up is bad news for her.

If Republicans ever tried to turn the coverage off, that would backfire on them. The good news for us is that this will bite the Dems in their tender parts.
