Keep yappin’ Nancy! My gold is back up to $908.30/oz today!
You Go, Girl! Keep on pretending that you have two braincells to rub together. I’m beating you at your own game.
I agree with you. McCain/Palin are not beating the energy drum as they should but I can give them a pass this week for the shocking economic news.
I still think they need to tie Pelosi and crew to the energy crisis and link it to the economic issues we now face because it is part of the big picture. The new expansion of domestic energy would certainly help the economy as well.
Ugly? Hah! It needs to be worse than that ... the ONLY WAY to get out of the financial septic tank is to exploit our resources via free market and collect the lease fees and tax revenues and apply them to balancing then paying off the demcorat fabricated debt which is threatening to destroy this Republic. Time to kick these nasty bastards in the knuts while they are squirming! This ought not be a fair fight. The democrat party has placed this nation on the edge of the socilaist precipice. The issues don’t lend themselve to sound bytes, but surely to goodness the Republicans can make the case to expose the truth of whom is responsible for this catastrophic state of affairs! If they don’t soon get it going, the democrat lie machine spewed by the leftist media will destroy the opportunity to expose the truth for the people.
The Republicans need to run ads explaining that one can’t drill just anywhere and get oil. A few places have oil, and a lot of places don’t. The Democrats don’t mind if the oil companies drill in places without oil, but oppose letting them drill in places that do. The public needs to be made aware of this.

An e-mail:
Regarding your Corner post late today, taken from a release from Jeb Hensarling, I think you make too much of Nancy Pelosi and the House. The Senate clearly does not have the votes to attach the House language to the CR, and a CR only passes if it also passes the Senate.
This new antic by Pelosi provides us yet another opportunity to slam the Dems, but we already have quite well enough to rattle our psyche's this week (re: financial meltdown) without forcing conservatives into heart failure (i.e., by scaring us that the Dems will actually successfully lock up nearly all of our offshore oil reserves forever with a sleight of hand). McConnell and Co. are too smart to let that happen.
I'm afraid this reader takes false comfort in hoping that the Senate can stop Pelosi and Co. from extending the offshore drilling ban. Consider the following scenario: The House passes a CR that extends the ban, and then Pelosi immediately sends everyone home for the fall recess. At that point, if Republicans in the Senate block the CR or change it in any way, or if Bush vetoes it, then the government shuts down, because the House would be adjourned until after the elections. And if you think the media will blame the shutdown on the Democrats, you're living on another planet.
So if Republicans and moderate Dems are going to beat this ban, they have to beat it in the House or not at all.
Me: SHUT IT DOWN!
Thanks for the ping.
Bump
BTTT
Is it just me or does it seem like the *power that be* are seeing if they can push us to a breaking point?
“Where there’s little government power, there’s little motive for government corruption.”
Any other reason needed to shut down anything not covered by automatic continuation of funding for the military etceteras?
