Close but no cigar Nancy. Let’s try this again. The people and their Representatives want a simple up-or-down vote. Get it through your Botox-addled brain. Next on the agenda is fast tracking and streamlining of the process for granting leases and drilling permits.

What a POS. I detest these wealthy Liberals.

Someone get a photo shop of NP’s head on the body of Marie Antoinette. Although Rousseau (the French philosopher) actually said it, no one would know what Rousseau looks like.

Nancy Pelosi is a Trecherous Gorgon Hag.

It will take a gallon of lysol to clean off that Gavel when She is gone.

Thank goodness for Mitch McConnell. I’m so glad he’s there. The people of Kentucky have extraordinarily good sense and good taste. Thank you, Kentuckians/Kentuckyites.

Keep up the pressure. They screwed with us over judges back when they were the minority, now it’s time to return the favor.

Could someone please let me know if when this puke says without subsidies does this really mean without extraordinary taxes? I guess my question is just how is this industry subsidized?

Pubbies, do not cave in on this issue. The Dems are desparate, they know it’s a losing issue for them. Don’t compromise! Stick to your Guns!

to release oil from the 700-million-barrel Strategic Petroleum Reserve

Has anyone informed ms plastic face about the dangerous precipice the world is teetering on at the moment?

This is not the time to deplete our emergency fuel reserves with all the sabre rattling from Russia, Iran and while still in the heat of the WOT.

Makes one wonder even more what deals she has under the table with her 'friends' that she has met with in the mid-east...

Pelusi’s politburo - I’ll give you what you want; but in a condition where you won’t want it.

Yes, I’d like to understand this too. I have a liberal friend who claims the oil inudstry is ‘subsidized’, and that can’t be true.

Drill ALL our offshore now, including new exploration, no exclusions. Drill ANWR (does it include that)? Get it through Congress and on the market ASAP. Just knowing something is finally going to be done should help bring down prices and there lies true HOPE and CHANGE for Americans on that issue.

NO COMPROMISES. They were pressured into this and behaved like spoiled school children by turning off the lights and mikes and going home. Maybe the Republicans that stayed were being a little melodramatic, but were left with no options. Kudos to them.

Let us haggle over the other contested aspects with oil, coal, hydro, nuclear, solar and alternative energy in separate legislation afterwards next up if that's what the majority of American people want unless something unforeseen crops up relating to national security. On that, depending on how they behave, I might be willing to make concessions, depending on what they would be. It's not as if I think or imagine I have much say in it, just my opinion.
