House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is hitting back directly at President Bush and congressional Republicans on energy and gas prices.

Pelosi (D-Calif.) will deliver the Democrats’ weekly radio address, which is a response to the president’s weekly address to the country. She will take aim at Republican energy policies, highlighting Bush's and Vice President Cheney’s background in the oil industry, and lay out the Democrats’ latest plan for energy independence and addressing high gasoline prices.

“America faces a choice: a continuation of the Bush-Cheney-McCain approach that perpetuates the failed policies that have produced soaring prices,” Pelosi will say, according to a partial transcript of her remarks released Friday, “or a comprehensive, bipartisan strategy that develops new and traditional sources of energy.”

Nine percent Nancy, the definition of insanity of doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

[vietvet67]

Good.

Maybe she’ll give us an update on her book sales.. ha

[personalaccts]

[IbJensen]

Crazy Nazi in a skirt. (Or pants suit)

[henkster]

Does anyone listen to these radio addresses?

[The South Texan]

“.......highlighting Bush’s and Vice President Cheney’s background in the oil industry”

Again??? The American Sheeple should know that by now. That’s all we’ve heard since 1999 from Mrs Botox and her ilk.

"Pelosi (D-Calif.) will deliver the Democrats’ weekly radio address..."

And who will actually listen to her radio address?

[Red Badger]

She will take aim at Republican energy policies, highlighting Bush's and Vice President Cheney’s background in the oil industry,

As opposed to her massive experience in what, exactly, and her numerous successes in developing energy resources?............

[avacado]

Dang! At post #7 I asked the same thing.

[pallis]

Does she put on makeup while she talks? Does she blink? These are the kinds of things Nancy should tell us. Things she might know something about.

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

Blah, blah, we can’t drill our way out of this problem, blah, blah.

[GSWarrior]

Will the repub response highlight her connections with the wind power industry?

[Dr. Ursus]

She has a face for radio!

[linn37]

We could call her ol 9% Nancy.

[right wing]

And I hope she continues repeating ad nauseum that SHE IS TRYING TO SAVE THE PLANET!

[palomonte]

she’s definitely got a radio face.

America: “We need to drill for more oil to be able to become energy independent and lower gas prices.”

Pelosi: “George Bush and Dick Cheney have ties to oil companies.”

America: “We know there is oil in ANWR. Let’s drill for it.”

Pelosi: “George Bush and Dick Cheney have ties to oil companies.”

Address Americans with an up or down vote, Nancy.

Failed Speaker of the Failed Congress.

Zero Accomplishments. Year 3.

Probably the same 200 people that bought her book.

Hey stupid, ye you Nancy, I believe the failed policies go all the way back to Jimmy (peanutman) Carter and beyond. Our society depends on oil. That's the way it is. You guys, dems and repubs have allowed the environmentalist to control your votes on energy and now you say it's not your fault.
I have an idea for you, why don't you all get together decide when, where and how you will begin to drill, refine and produce more gas/diesel products. Then after that is underway begin to talk about future sources of energy.
We need the oil and the middle class can not afford to fight you guys on taxes and the oil prices. Simply put we are not willing to wait on your so-called alternative energy.

In short,Drill here, Drill now and begin to build new refineries first. Use what is proven and available.Then look at alternatives.
