    Default Dems "Scrambling to Run Down the Clock" on GOP Solutions to Help Lower Gas Prices

    call, write, fax........like they give a shit.

    With Only Nine Days Until the August Recess, Speaker Pelosi, Dem Leaders Continue to Block Bipartisan Action to Increase American Energy, Lower Gas Prices



    Washington, Jul 23 - With the five-week August recess just nine days away, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and her colleagues in the Democratic leadership are doing everything they can to keep Members from having to vote on more American energy production to help lower gas prices. Their months-long campaign of inaction in the face of soaring gas prices not only pits Democratic leaders against the American people – who support more production as part of any comprehensive energy plan – but it also pits them against an increasing number of rank-and-file Members of their own party. This morning’s Politico details the Democrats’ strategy of “running down the clock” until August recess rather than allow a simple up-or-down vote on more American energy production – a vote that would pass by a strong, bipartisan margin:

    There is a man who has answers and the money to begin freeing the US from oil, all oil! Go to Boonepickens and read for your self. This is the action needed not just drill a few more holes.
    A chance for a new beginning, like a dawn of reconciliation.

    As soon as you figure out how to pump wind and sun into my car, I'll be all for using it to replace our oil entirely. Until then, you politicians go play hide and go f--- yourselves while the rest of us drill for oil.

    Yet you don't want to follow a policy which has ALREADY dropped gas prices considerably just by its suggestion. You really are obtuse.

    no. you seem fine doing it all by yourself.
    If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

    I don't know if this is an invalid comparison or just the sloppiest straw man I've ever seen, but your statement has absolutely nothing to do with what I said. We have a policy that has been proven to work in the short term, yet, despite the fact that you have admittedly been driven into walking by high gas prices, you will not support this solution, no matter the conditions.

    Yeah, you're doing a fine job of leading everybody in whichever direction Obama happens to be going. Face it, you're a lemming.
