WOOOO HOOOO!!!
There are times I am not happy with GWB.
This is one of them.
These Reps are giving up vacation, campaigning and family time for this. GWB sits on his hands saying, “It won’t do any good.”
Why can’t he realize that it would? The “American Idol” voter would see that the Rs give a poop about them. Who cares whether Nancy would have a fit. Doesn’t he see that “We the People” want this done?
How long would this video would have been a MSM lead story if Republicans turned off the lights in the House?
Republican Congressman staging this protest on the floor of the House, are driving the price of Oil down, I can guarantee you.
The big issue was the high cost of OIL.. Republicans are proving they want to do something about it and Democrats do not, even Obama has flip flopped to wanting Off Shore drilling.
Those who hoard the oil, and speculate in it, causing the price to go up, hoping that it will bring discontent in the American voter and push them to vote for Obama, plan has backfired on them.
I still believe that the Congressional Pubs want this to continue to be a grassroots revolt. I would look for the President to start talking about a special session in a week or two, after the publicity really builds. This is a no lose issue for us.
Hey lady! #dontgo is up and running this morning. However, I am three hours away from camping with no internet. Could someone else volunteer to monitor it for the live thread?
If my eight year old can do it, anyone can.

All we did yesterday was minimize our browsers to have three showing. #dontgo will tell you when there is an update. We then cut and pasted the news into the FR thread opened at the top. It was pretty easy.
And here is a Facebook about getting food in to the Reps

Signing up for both Twitter (that gets you #dontgo) and Facebook are free and easy for anyone.
All the best!!
Agree- I thought the statement from the president was a low blow. He’s been calling for this to be voted on- he yelled at Congress for leaving before voting- and then makes the statement calling them back wouldn’t do any good. HUH? Even IF he didn’t plan to call em back- surely there was a way to simply offer his support for what the House guys are doing.
Sometimes I just shake my head..
I think the President is doing the right thing. If he wades in too early, it’s not nearly as effective. Better to let the voters/political pressure force his hand.
What else did you expect from that Rino pussy.
I pray you’re right!
That’s a possibility also. It just seemed unecessary to say it the way he did.
BTW- MOVEON.ORG is going to the Capitol this afternoon at 4 pm for a little demonstration of their own- they’re displeased that the GOP has framed the debate!
Me too.
You’re right. It could be. I hope it is.
It’s just that we sit on the sidelines while the bad guys play dirty tricks and it gets us no where.
Our Reps are doing something.
Oil/Energy Policy is one of the few key issues McCain has over Obama (according to various polling pundits). If McCain plays this smart, he can tie energy to the economy and keep hammering Obama.
Hammering away and exposing the empty suit that is BHO, is the only way McCain is going to pull this off.
I'm certain this action deeply disturbs the deeply disturbed Hitler-in-a-skirt.
