Pelosi: just tell your constituency that you are for drilling

Posted by Armanius on Tuesday, August 05, 2008 10:14:55 PM
 
According to Politico.com, certain Dems insiders have stated that Pelosi is telling Dems feeling the heat about offshore drilling to go ahead and tell their constituents that they support offshore drilling, if that's what is going to take to get them re-elected in November. And then, after the election, once the Dems have control of both Congress and the White House, Dems will just go right back with their agenda.
 
How about that for political expediency, and perhaps even defrauding the American people?

Dems can't even say why they won't allow vote

Posted by Armanius on Tuesday, August 05, 2008 10:10:34 PM
Simple question, why won't Dems allow a vote on offshore drilling? I was watching Hannity & Colmes, and a Dem named Kiki McLean (a former unemployed Gore advisor) was asked that simple question by Sean Hannity. Her answer was "We [Democrats] are working on a calendar, there are a lot of issues in this country ... and Democrats have moved forward on energy. We have moved forward with an agenda." Even Alan Colmes has no answer to that question. And instead said in the show that Obama is not getting "enough credit" for having said that he agrees with limited offshore drilling. Isn't that ironic, some Dems now want to give Obama the "credit" for saying that he agrees with offshore drilling after months and months of saying he's against it?

Sen. Landrieu (D) - I DISAGREE with Pelosi

Posted by Armanius on Monday, August 04, 2008 9:52:22 PM

Senator Landrieu (D - La) is part of the "Gang of 10," the ten senators that are trying to come up with a bipartisan solution to the energy problem. I am not too familiar with the details of the proposal, but it apparently includes drilling. She was just on Hannity & Colmes a few minutes ago, and she explicitly said that she "disagrees with Speaker Pelosi" regarding offshore drilling. Kudos to Senator Landrieu!

Obama afraid of "change" - offshore drilling

Posted by Armanius on Saturday, August 02, 2008 2:33:13 PM
 
Now that Obama realizes that American people REALLY favor offshore drilling, he is supporting offshore drilling as part of a comprehensive energy policy. But he says he will never let drilling be the end all be all solution. Gee Obama, have you not been listening to McCain and other Republicans whom have said that they want drilling to be part of the solution, which also includes alternative energy sources? So Obama is "changing" his position now, and that's great, because I think the American people will benefit from his change in position.
 
Irony is that Obama is now proclaiming that this "wasn't really a new position."
 
EHH???
 
After harping at McCain for weeks about how McCain flip-flopped on offshore drilling for political expediency, and how offshore drilling is a gimmick (just like gas tax holiday), and how offshore drilling will not help lower gas prices "yesterday, today, or tomorrow," Obama has the audacity to say that supporting offshore drilling is NOT a new position of his??? Obama clearly has some sort of mental issue where he just cannot allow himself to say that he changed his position on any issue -- gun control, Rev. Wright, gay marriage, public financing, war in Iraq, and now offshore drilling. While Obama uses the word "change" as his campaign standard, clearly, Obama fears the word change, whether the change is brought about by a belief that he is doing the right thing, or because of political expediency.

Harry Reid takes credit for the drop in oil prices!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Armanius on Saturday, July 26, 2008 3:05:59 AM

Harry Reid had the audacity to claim credit for the recent drop in crude oil prices!!!!!! In a press conference after Republicans refused to allow the voting on the Democrat sponsored bill to regulate futures trading/speculation, Reid stated that the mere fact that Democrats have discussed the regulation of speculators caused oil prices to drop!!!! Never mind that oil prices immediately dropped RIGHT AFTER President Bush lifted the executive ban on offshore drilling and before this anti-speculation bill even got rolling. Never mind that perhaps the forced conservatism of gasoline may have slightly lowered the demand. Reid and the Democrats want to take credit for something that they absolutely had nothing to do with. These are the same Democrat politicians who refuse to even allow an amendment on their anti-speculation bill about offshore drilling, or to allow a vote on whether or not to lift the statutory ban on offshore drilling so that the states can decide on their own. Why are the Democrats afraid to vote on the matter? Is it because they are afraid that if there is a vote, then the Americans that elected them will find out that they voted against the will of the American people?? So if there is no vote, they can always say that they never voted against offshore drilling. Some moron senator from New York not named Clinton says that "Democrats are for the future." Yeah, keep worrying about the future while Americans suffer TODAY because gas prices are too high. This is so typical of Democrats, who champion themselves as the party of the working class, the little people, the blue colar workers, and the poor. The position taken by them about drilling clearly shows that the Democrats don't give a darn about them. Who suffers the most when gas prices are high? The people who are poor! The working class!! High gas prices may bother the middle class, but it doesn't bankrupt them. The rich could care less about high gas prices. So the "little people" suffer TODAY while Democrats talk about the future. And why?? Their argument is that it won't have an effect on oil prices. It will polute the world. Cause more hurricanes. And yet, each of them keep on driving their big SUVs and Mercedez Benz. That's because high gas prices don't affect them. Why do they also oppose more drilling? Because they must oppose any Republican initiative AS A F---ING MATTER OF COURSE!! Because if they admit that the Republicans have it correct, then they are going to look bad!! So screw the American people who favor drilling, say the Democrats. This is the most angry I've ever been in my life with these so called champions of the working class. Thanks for listening to my vent ... How I wish more Americans would see through this charade and vote these morons off ...
