That’s not exactly it. Bush WANTS the Dems home to catch hell from their constituents while the Republicans in Washington get all the news cycle, such that there is.
It’s a good strategy and you, sir/madam, are uncouth and unappreciative.
I wasn’t happy with President Bush either. But, it appears our heros in congress dont want the intervention. They would rather hammer away at Nazi Pelosi. That way it doesnt look like a Presidential issue. It’s a republican congress issue which the dems refuse to budge on.
Keep up the support of these guys. They earned it.
Pelosi email AmericanVoices@mail.house.gov
Thanks for the ping, Politicalmom!
Bingo.

Key Oil Shipping Passage Could Be Blocked for a Month

I agree with everything you’ve stated and think it deserves to be repeated:
“You posted,”......GWB is doing the right thing.”
I agree.....This show down with the Democrats will be much more effective coming from the grass roots...The people will have spoken. If I was physically able I would go to Washington too.
I hope the Republicans keep up the protest....and I hope we open up our drilling everywhere within our own boundaries...like we should be doing....we should be keeping ourselves self sufficient...not at the mercy of countries who hate us, and who are capable of sabotaging our national security,
I am positively amazed at how stupid the Democrats are. I despise Nancy Pelosi who acts like Queen Nancy.”
Because Barry is not able to capitalize off of the misery of Americans having High Oil prices. He ain't that smart you know?
Is what President Bush should have said not whimper
The White House has rejected calls from House Republicans that it convene a special session of Congress on energy, saying it wouldn’t make a difference.
The Friends showed a clip of McCain with the bikers...he was on fire. Loved how he made fun of Little Barry and his tire inflation idea.
Is this the live thread today...or are we back on “The Lights are On?”
“He said, “When Brazil discovered huge new offshore oil reserves, it caused a national celebration. It was a matter of pride. When we discover oil here – in Nancy Pelosi’s congress – it’s treated as a matter of shame.” “
I have been reading this really good book about the history of the Glenn Pool(oil) discovery in Oklahoma in the early 1900’s. Just reading it would fill the average American with a sense of pride and wonder at the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the American pioneers in the American Oil Industry.
The MSM and the environmental marxists are going to be busier than a three legged cat in a litter box pushing the leftist ‘Big Oil’ talking points in the coming weeks, so get ready with the facts:

Man, you really have no respect for him.
I agree.
I agree with the other posters who say the idea is to make it clear that Pelosi and the Democrats are responsible. There will be no hiding behind a Presidential order. The ball is squarely in Pelosi's court on the hottest issue of the campaign year.
This bill they want a vote on cost a lot of money, to much added.
Just remove restrictions on drilling, let States get the money. I’m for drilling but what’s behind this bill that cost so much.
‘Babbin says:
“Cong. Pence told me the phones were almost melting.”’
That’s because Americans are all fired up that they are paying for Congress’s 5 week vacation while struggling to pay $4 and more for a gallon of gas.
Hold their feet to the fire! Nancy can run, but she can’t hide. And how much fuel is she burning flitting around the country promoting her book? Which we are paying for. I wonder how Americans feel knowing that hawking this pitiful tome about power is the only concern of Nancy’s?
What it comes down to is it’s all about Nancy and her power and she isn’t about to give it up!
“By Monday, Pence and Price had gotten about twenty fellow Republicans to come back for the new debate, and more were still being rounded up. As many as one hundred may be back by week’s end. If they are successful in building momentum this week, the debates will go on — possibly — all to the way into September”
And while they are doing this and the media does nothing to report it, Democrats will be campaigning against the Republicans who are in Washington.
“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!”
Great! That means the MSM will no doubt be there at 3:30 to prepare for their arrival—probably Katy and Charlie and Chrissy will be there too!
I agree the President has to stay out of this and let the House members get the glory! Nice to see them working for their pay for a change! :)
I don’t know- haven’t seen eeev yet..
It can be the live thread easily enough with a tweak from the mods- will freepmail eeev first.
