No compromise.
“Were we directed from Washington when to sow, and when to reap, we should soon want bread.”
— Thomas Jefferson (Autobiography, 1821)
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.

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.
That’s really low. Only 60% want a vote? And the other 40% said “Screw it, let the do-nothings go on vacation?”
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.
100% of FReepers named EagleandLiberty wants the congress to DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW!!
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.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
If this were the 1st week of November........
If 61% of the public agrees with the House GOP position that Congress should return to DC to vote on offshore drilling, it would seem as if the Republican “brand” isn’t as out of favor this year as most pundits would have you believe.
The tide is turning, folks. Can someone please photo-shop together a “Handmaidens of Big Oil” victory dance picture?
