More On That Drilling For Oil Quagmire

~Snooper~

Well, apparently, the squeeze is on and, naturally, the weak-kneed democrats are beginning to fold. Someone must have informed her Naziness that the AMERICAN PEOPLE - the vast majority of them - think she is an idiot. I agree.
California Democrat Nancy Pelosi may be trying to save the planet - but the rank and file in her party increasingly are just trying to save their political hides when it comes to gas prices as Republicans apply more and more rhetorical muscle.

But what looks like intraparty tension on the surface is part of an intentional strategy in which Pelosi takes the heat on energy policy, while behind the scenes she's encouraging vulnerable Democrats to express their independence if it helps them politically, according to Democratic aides on and off Capitol Hill.

Pelosi's gambit rests on one big assumption: that Democrats will own Washington after the election and will be able to craft a sweeping energy policy that is heavy on conservation and fuel alternatives while allowing for some new oil drilling. Democrats see no need to make major concessions on energy policy with a party poised to lose seats in both chambers in just three months - even if recess-averse Republicans continue to pound away on the issue. [...]
Sorry, Nanny. Ain't gonna happen. Too little too late and you have shot your wad. Nice try, though. She and her kind have thrown so many strawmen, scarecrows and bogeymen, the American People are just plain sick of her ignorant leadership - if you can call it that. And, the New York Post wants to know why everyone is for drilling now all of a sudden...good question.

Stay tuned...this ain't over by a long shot.
