Is there a graphic out there that shows the other countries that are drilling off the coast of American shores such as China or Mexico?

If Nancy Pelosi is truly trying to save the planet, then how can that happen if these other countries are drilling 30 miles off our shores?

[johnny7]

Kerry says we only have 3% of the world’s oil.

His SUV's have already leaked that much in front of his Boston townhouse!

[maica]

And GM had a $17+ billion loss for the same quarter. According to “windfall” rules, the government should give money to GM.

At least they should express sympathy.

At least they should recognize that high fuel prices are hurting our economy!

[rodguy911]

I still say they(dnc/rats think they can get away with anything as long as the DBM keeps carrying their water .

[chiller]

Lieberman is leaving cards on the table too...he let Kerry get away with the 11b exxon profit with no mention of the taxes they paid and in fact agreed an 11b profit was absurd. Kerry also got away with the 64 million acres of leases that the oil companies are not using ...BECAUSE THERE’S NO OILL THERE, JOE. Wake up.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

Great analysis, Fish! I think they’re wrong about Americans getting used to the price in August. In October, just before the election, people will be ordering home heating oil at rates about double what they were last year. If they don’t like filling their gas tanks with a $50 bill they’re going to hate filling their oil tanks with ten $50 bills.

[Son House]

LATE EDITION (CNN)

Trying to say McCain is flip flopping on taxes because he says nothing is off the table, kinda a stretch, I'll have you fiscal liberals know McCain took over the Romney fiscal plan

Now the Lady is saying it is more risky for McCain to say no new taxes(reality = nothing is off the table) then Obama to compromise on off shore drilling.??? 'bout to have one of those Beavis and Butthead minutes??????/???

[Morgan in Denver]

I didn’t think this was new news. The Democrats did this last year and are doing it again.

More reasons to vote Republican in 2008. Help rid us of Pelosi, Reid and the rest.

[rodguy911]

3% is a rat talking point as is 10 years and 2 cents per gallon,stretch’s fav. They're all lies of course but say it enough and.....

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Just weird to have a Demmie and an Independent Demmie.

Really blanced.

[eyedigress]

Given the tax the Gov makes on every gallon they pretend it is some kind of a secret that cannot be divulged. Please....

[rodguy911]

I saw Palin the other day I think on Kudlow, she is awesome.

[Miss Didi]

Tommy spinning for Barry on debates and their counter offers saying—we never got a response back (waaaaah!!!) No time left for Tom. Tommy—No one should criticize Barack Obama about debates!

[eyedigress]

I think Lieberman is in a transition phase. Going just slow enough so his head doesn’t explode.

[Morgan in Denver]

This has been true in the past but is slowly changing as new media takes hold. Justice, IMHO.

-- some parliamentary procedure should be available to Senator McConnell and Leader Boehner to act on energy legislation --

McConnell agreed with the schedule that Senator Reid put out - see "unanimous consent."

[rodguy911]

Possibly, but it's hard to charge Joe with not doing an excellent job. He may not have covered everything but it pays to recall he's an indy not even a pubbie.

[penelopesire]

Watching Daschle lose the debate to Lindsey Graham on Fox...LOL

Not a real big fan of Graham, but sometimes he deserves a pat on the back...like now!

[Arrowhead1952]

I wonder if Steffi booked the interview before or after she turned off the lights and cameras in the House Chamber.

I don't know, but her interview should tell. I'll check through the thread and see what she says.

[rodguy911]

My favorite Senators of all time!!B&B!
