[...] George Stephanopoulus Grills Pelosi on Oil DrillingWe must all take a step back and realize that San Fran Nan is out to save the planet. She also must prevent her dear friend, Dirty Harry Reid … The vast reserves that this nation possesses will go untapped as long as the Democrats are in control of the majority. … Thiry years of obstruction by the left’s judicial fiat, [...]

Missy: There will be a vote on drilling. The congressional moratorium on ALL offshore sites expires Sept. 30 and requires a vote to be extended in any form.

Two ways this could shake out:

1. Pelosi and Reid shove the moratorium into a continuing resolution required to keep the government open (because they haven’t done their jobs and passed appropiration bills) then dare Bush to veto it and blame him for shutting down the government

or

2. Craft a compromise bill that includes SOME drilling, but refuses to allow votes on ANWR, California and Northeast offshore and Colorado shale.

With the attention the “gang of 10″ proposal is getting, option #2 is more likely. Sadly, it will leave 10′s of billions of barrels of oil off limits.

People should ask why it is O.K. to drill off the Florida beaches but not in the frozen wasteland of ANWR?

Guess it’s all a ploy, election strategy. Nancy’s carrying the weight, absorbing all the heat. Wonder what she will do if Iran shuts down the Straight?

11B40: Good point. Especially since Bush is leaving office, but an unholy trinity of Obam-uhhh, Reid and Pelosi would actually govern.

Greetings:

You know, we don’t hear much of that First Woman Speaker of the House anymore.

If Obama can get away with harping on the Bush-McCain linkage, I don’t know why McCain and the Republicans aren’t going after the Obama-Pelosi-Reid troika.

Stephanopoulos knows this is a big issue for the Dems — he’s trying to get them on the same page as the American people because this is going to kill them in November.

It’s amazing really — these guys would rather sink the ship than do something productive for a change. It’s like Rush always says, ‘they are sowing the seeds for their own landslide defeat.’

She didn’t say she was opposed to drilling our own oil. She said she was opposed to drilling in protected sites..when there are unprotected ones with leases pending available. Further, that such drilling would not do anything to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, or lower prices at the pump, nor save the planet (her priorities). But, the between the lines on this is much the same as any democrat ……if such a drilling bill was brought to the floor for an up and down vote, it would pass. It would pass because people are stupid and gullible and must be protected from themselves by her—and the democrats. The ignorance of arrogance.

Stating the same tired mantras again and again does not make them true.
For example in her strange world of inverted logic, the objective of “Reducing our dependance on foreign oil” is somehow meant to prove that we must not drill for our own oil! Doesn’t she understand that if we don’t produce our own oil, then we must buy it elsewhere! The only alternative is that she must think we don’t need oil and higher prices are the cost of teaching us a lesson.
