No compromise.
“Were we directed from Washington when to sow, and when to reap, we should soon want bread.”
— Thomas Jefferson (Autobiography, 1821)
OHHHH hear that Nancy? That’s got to hurt!
The Rats will vote on some worthless compromise very soon, take credit for it with the Media’s help, retain control, then move along and never act or fund it.
Pingaling
Apparently it’s better for America if they don’t vote.
The ban on offshore drilling will expire in October. If congress votes, it’s to re-impose a more limited ban and probably to add various Democrat programs to it.
Which is why Conservative should not fall for it. GOP “Do it all” bill IS a compromise bill.
No it would be better if they vote since the GOP “Do it all” bill has the votes to pass. 50 Conservative Southern and Western Democrats are on board for it.
That’s really low. Only 60% want a vote? And the other 40% said “Screw it, let the do-nothings go on vacation?”
“Six out of 10 Americans (61%) say Congress should return to Washington immediately to vote on lifting the ban on offshore oil drilling, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. But voters overwhelmingly expect Congress to adjourn this year without taking action.
Even more (67%) recognize that Republicans are the ones pushing for offshore drilling, and 77% say the issue is important to them in terms of how they will vote for Congress this November. Forty-five percent (45%) of voters say it is Very Important. Voters see a clear difference between the political parties on this issue as 61% perceive that congressional Democrats oppose offshore drilling. “
60% want Congress to return NOW for a vote.
Sounds like Pelosi needs to call them into session before there’s a revolt.
Gosh... imagine that.
America fighting the War on Terror, fighting the Russians and FIRING Congress all at once.
“60% want Congress to return NOW for a vote.”
Exactly, while 40% don’t seem to recognize the immediate need. That seems high to me.
Yeah, brother. That Saxby Chambliss bill is a cave in and will not do much but help the Dims in November.
Stop by Hannity and say “hey.”
Can you say “drilling” in the same sentence as “border fence?”
Not if you are voting for McAmnesty McCain. Seems like the sheeple are being redirected from McCain’s amnesty. It’s the oldest trick in the book, shell game.
100% of FReepers named EagleandLiberty wants the congress to DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW!!
I see the Democrat Party caucus here is flying around from thread to thread desperately trying to deflect attention from focusing on their Do Nothing Democrat Party leadership.
Umm if you read the poll 30% says that Congress needs to do something but do not need to come back to do it. Only 10% want to do nothing
Wait until people in the Northeast start getting their heating oil bills.
Most people can adjust their driving habits. It is going to be VERY difficult for dims , independents and pubbies alike to pay $4.00+/gallon for heating oil this winter.
That can mean over $4000 to heat your home this winter.
That will make people freak.
