She's dumber than a box of rocks.........

[Rudder]

The offshore drilling ban was to expire this September-—What happened?

[Marine_Uncle]

And a royal *sshole as well.

[realcleanguy]

Pelosi said “We’ve been saying that for a while, the Administration has resisted”

Ah, Nancy, you are the only one resisting change

[popdonnelly]

I’m not on the side of the freaking socialists in the Democratic Party. “Big Oil” - wow, I’m, like, really mad at those evil guys.

The Democrats should refrain from their inclination to meddle in everything.

“It will come down to this when it comes to energy. Whose side are you on? The side of the American consumer and the taxpayer, or Big Oil?

Hey, Nance! How many U.S. companies make up "Big Oil"? How many companies produce goods made from oil in the U.S.?

She is such an idiot.

[GregoTX]

"“It will come down to this when it comes to energy. Whose side are you on? The side of the American consumer and the taxpayer, or Big Oil?"

It takes the oil companies to provide the oil so that the consumer can make the purchase. Punish the provider economically, the cost gets passed on to the consumer. Everyone looses except the Government that gains the taxes from the consumer and from the oil company.

Who's side am I on? I am on the side of the taxpayer/consumer and the oil companies (free market product provider) and against the OVER TAXING, OVER REGULATING, OVER CONTROLLING, GREEDY GOVERNMENT!!! Im against you Pelosi, get out of the way and let the USA provide its own energy, and stop stealing every penny you can get your greedy pig hooves on.

[Blood of Tyrants]

A stimulus package just in time for the election. What a coincidence.

[KarlInOhio]

The offshore drilling ban was to expire this September-—What happened?

I think it's at the end of September when the federal fiscal year ends. Speaking of fiscal year, how's the buget going 9% Nancy? Haven't done anything I guess, right?

[river rat]

She’s delusional!!

The skin on her head has been pulled so tight - she can’t see straight or think clearly anymore........if she ever could..

I never thought I would see the Democrat party in the collective suicidal pact they have apparently signed..

I’m glad I lived long enough to witness the death throws of the bastards.......I’ve waited a long time...

[vaudine]

Draw in the eyeballs and put a sock in it Nan!

We have our earplugs in when your mouth opens.

Actually, Congress’s rating went UP while they were out of session. I expect them to go back down now that Peta Pelosi has the gavel firmly in hand to prevent anything that even resembles an effort at REAL meaningful energy independence.

[Domandred]

Republicans must set aside their ‘drill only’ policy;

I am getting so sick of that fraking bullshit. First, Republicans don't have a drill only policy, it's an all of the above, which INCLUDES DRILLING NOW. Second even if they did have a drill only policy it would still be better than the DO NOTHING policy that Pelosi and her joeboys have.

[Paladin2]

Pelosi the oil Nazi - NO OIL FOR YOU!

[MaxMax]

Whose side are you on Pelosi? The side of the American consumer and the taxpayer,
or blindly retaining your power in order to rob the Taxpayer?

I can't wait until we take the house back. Americans must be sick of this crap by now.

It expires Sept. 30th.

‘Okay, if you want to drill on the outer continental shelf, let’s have a discussion and a change of the relationship between our oil, which is owned by the American people, the desire of Big Oil for us to subsidize their drilling, and us not to, the American people not getting the benefit of the profits.’ So more drilling, no subsidies, and we want our royalties, in order to pay for investments in renewable energy resources, make a strong commitment to LIHEAP and the land and conservation fund, something like that.

She cannot force oil companies to produce anything. Without profit incentive, they will not increase production. These exploration projects are very risky and capital intensive. Private individuals will not invest if the rats intend to steal their profits. The oil and natural gas industry pays taxes at every stage of production. The idea that the industry is subsidized is laughable.

She is proposing a variation on the nationalization theme: socializing profits and privatizing costs. She wants to reduce production so her policy is consistent with her unstated desire. Private property rights should be created for mineral rights on federal lands. Otherwise, the energy industry is just a pawn of the political process. The political process has stopped exploration in many promising areas.

Remove this woman, she is not the RULER of this country, even with her vaulted position. Remove her, it’s time to act and go on the offensive much like Newt has, which I think is growing.

Sara Palin is teaching us to act like we should, like leaders, not lemmings running pell mell to the cliff’s edge. We get our facts and charge into the fray. Love it. Thank you Sarah!

...getting the funds that we are owed from the royalties of holidays in the late 90s.’

HUH?

Never mind that her presser had all the cohesion of a mudslide, that rattling bag of bones is intent on going to war with American held companies.

I suppose yesterday morning's loss of billions of hard earned savings was just a shot across the bow.

[upchuck]

This woman and her minions could not pass an Econ 101 class.

It amazes me that she thinks “Big (EVIL!!!!) Oil” is going to be punished by taking away their tax subsidies. The oil companies will simply raise prices and the taxpayer will pay the difference. Which is what’s happening right now with the subsidies. Six of one, half dozen of the other.

Stupid, stupid people.
