Pelosi Statement on Comprehensive Energy Plan of New Direction Congress
Tue Sep 2, 5:43 PM ET

**SNIP**

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement in response to President Bush's comments today on energy:

"For too long, the President's and Republicans' 'drill only' energy policies have reflected the demands of Big Oil.

"The New Direction Congress is crafting a comprehensive energy strategy that will provide relief for consumers, end our dependence on foreign oil, create millions of jobs and grow our economy. The Democratic plan will promote efficiency and invest in renewable sources of energy, responsibly increase domestic supply by opening portions of the Outer Continental Shelf for drilling, with appropriate safeguards, and without taxpayer subsidies to Big Oil, and require Big Oil to pay the billions of dollars they owe in royalties to invest in clean energy resources.

"America faces a choice: a continuation of the Bush-Cheney-McCain legacy of soaring prices and greater dependence on foreign oil or a comprehensive, bipartisan strategy that develops new and traditional sources of energy."

If congress allows off-shore drilling and drilling in ANWR and gas and all things related to it start falling and the economy improves guess which party will take credit for it?

Don’t get excited. Any plan the Dems put forward will be poisoned to the extent that Republicans won’t support it. The object here is to have the plan die in the House at the hands of Republicans so the Dems can blame them for not supporting drilling legislation. In any case, the Senate bill is nothing like the House bill and will not be reconciled before the election. It’s all political tactics.

Its insane to expect the same people who got us into this crisis to get us out. If you like $4/gal, Thank Congress.

Pray for W, Sarah Palin and Our Troops

with appropriate safeguards,

Not too fast. The Dems could just be providing some political cover prior to the election and then they will make the safeguards so onerous, they will discourage drilling.

I don't think I've ever read a more putrescent, steaming pile of lies and pandering politics than this load up above. She must think Americans are morons who will swallow whatever her party decides to spoon feed us.

When is news not news? When you have to pay to get it noticed.

Check the source for this "news:" PR Newswire, the ultimate media whoring outfit. They'll publish anything for you if you have the bucks.

In other words, since this is not legitimate "news," Nancy and her thugs had to resort to paying to spread their propaganda.

If it's from PR Newswire, it may be an idle curiosity, but it is most certainly not "news."

It's kinda interesting... I've noticed most of the stuff put out by PR Newswire comes from the RATS. Maybe PR Newswire is a front for the DNC or Soros.
