The Pubbies would do well to ponder why they are in this situation, and why they didn't create a comprehensive, long-range energy policy during their 12-year majority tenure. After all, the energy crisis has been growing and building since Nixon was president.

Tom ... put up a thread about the squandered opportunities and I'd be the first to join you and let it rip. BUT here is a spark, tiny as it might be, and it needs encouragement. This is neither the time or place to be peeing on that spark if you catch my drift.

Respectfully, NVA

If this turns out to be more than a stunt, I'll eat my post. LOL.

The Friday revolt lasted 30 minutes passed the closing deadline. So far, they only have about a dozen who have said they will participate. Unless 90% of the Pubbies and some Dems show up, this will go nowhere. If it does mushroom in to a real shaker that rattles the foundation of Pelosi's House, I will be surprised. The Pubbies generally aren't too effective at political stunts.

The government shutdown in 1995 gave us 4 more years of Clinton. Thanks, GOP.

As for 'peeing on the spark', the spark began last Friday and quickly fizzled last Friday when the participants blinked (decided to go home).
