House Democrats are bypassing renewal of the offshore oil drilling ban by including the entire Pelosi drill nothing energy bill in a draft of a Continuing Resolution. HUMAN EVENTS obtained a copy of the most recent House draft CR this morning.
The Pelosi bill, HR 6899, fails to open more than a miniscule part of the available offshore drilling areas and -- even worse -- it establishes permanent bans on development of most other domestic energy sources (natural gas, oil shale, etc.) and does nothing to develop nuclear power. It passed the House earlier this month and is now languishing in the Senate as a separate measure.
As one member of Congress said last week, its got more incentives for bicycle riding than for nuclear power. Continued
We really need to bring energy and drilling back off the back burner if we’re going to win this election.
Amen to that
This election remains McCain’s to lose. It is up to him and his campaign people -— the have more ammo to use against the rotten left, than any candidate has ever had.
It really is a “free lunch” if they will just DO IT !!!!
What happened to the Sep 30 expiration of the Congressional drilling ban? Don’t they have to pass a new bill?
Newt has a great YouTube Channel on these issues

Check out all his videos
well we better win and make some changes because palose and the rest are killing us. I keep thinking no one is that brain dead.
time to get back on the phones, email and letters to our congress critters and tell them that we need to open up drilling.
Why oh why is the Rat party so intent on seeing our economy go down the drain?
You didnt notice this same article about half way down in the Breaking News side bar.

Thank you Botox Nancy, Bush now has a reason to veto the unpopular bailout bill.
McCain could make some major political hay with this, what is he waiting for?Energy prices, especially with winter coming, are a major priority with American people.
Thank you Botox Nancy, Bush now has a reason to veto the unpopular bailout bill.
AMEN to that! SHUT IT DOWN!
IF McCain can’t oppose the Left in this situation, how will he ‘reform’ anything if elected? He now has a powerful bully pulpit and everyone’s attention.
Prices just went to 120 today ,p> Great timing Nancy
Elitist witch.
The dems are clearly biding their time hoping that a dem white house will allow them to do really stupid moves with regard to energy. What a bunch of tools!
PELOSI and her minons need to experience TAR and FEATHERS!!
I wish McCain could understand WHEN to go across the aisle. Now he says he would name Andrew Cuomo to his cabinet (SEC) who helped form this mortgage debacle when he ran HUD. Gramm-Leach deregulated financials, banks, and ins. but the Dems had already pushed subprimes under Reno, and continued to increase them when Raines, Gorelick et al ran Fannie and Freddie..
We must drill--union people and other Dems. (except those on the plantation tit) MUST realize WHERE Obama wants to take this country. He thinks we need to be more global, to depend on govt. more. He would totally finish wrecking us, besides making us vulnerable to more attacks.
I think Palin gets it, but McCain has been in the Senate so long, I do not believe he realizes the extent to which this country is being taken over by vicious leftists. He remembers Dems from earlier times who were also true Americans. Now too many are rabid socialists.
vaudine
Because she and her husband are the largest investors in T. Boone Pickens windmill plans. Her hot air alone should run my car for a week!!!!
