Want Energy Independence? Vote Conservative!

~Snooper~

The offshore drilling ban is soon expiring in a little over 5 days. Get on your phones now and call your Congress Critters. We have more energy sources under our own soil that we will be selling it to the folks we are buying it from now. It is called supply and demand.

American Solutions Fact Sheet is here
Contact data for your Senator is here

Keep up the pressure folks. The problem with Conservatives is this. We win on an issue and thinking that discussion is now over with, we sit down and go back to couch potato status while the Leftinistra sneak in like the cowards that they are a pull crap like Reid tried.

STAY VIGILANT

Energy Freedom Day 01 OCT 2008 Soon Upon Us

~Snooper~

So now the FBI is involved in investigating the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac boondoggle, eh? Now they investigate? Well, there's nothing better than closing the barn doors after the horse got out, is there? I sure hope they go after the Congress Critters that failed miserably in their mission of oversight. Is this another distraction from the No Oil Zone crisis?

In other news, the Democrats are quite pleased with themselves now that the repeat of 1973 has started in Georgia. Georgia is experiencing fuel shortages and long lines at the pumps. Just in time for the debates too. I find this interesting. Georgia isn't the only state in the south experiencing and I sure hope the folks down there know who is responsible...the Democrat Party. Once again, the Democrat Party has failed their constituents. Get the ropes ready.

Want proof the Democrat Party is responsible? Yahoo News has the story on how the DNCers have capitulated and the moratorium will expire in seven days. Within the past few days, as Congress wrestles with the financial quagmire that they caused, the DNcers tried to sneak in an extention on the moratorium during debates on the continuing resolution to finance the government operations, and they failed. They know that they are on the wrong side of yet another issue and will now try and claim that they have seen the light. From Hot Air:

[...] This effectively ends this as an issue for the 110th Congress. Democrats thought they could get a partial moratorium past the Republicans, one that would have kept drilling at least 50 miles off from shore, but President Bush threatened a veto on any continuing resolution with that kind of language. The Senate had attempted to fashion the exact same compromise, but in the end, Republicans refused to agree. [...]

Conclusion? Dems blink and the American People win. The oil within the 50-mile barrier will be open for business and this is a victory of the #dontgo Movement...to a degree.

The AP posts a story that the Democrats "let" the moratorium expire. Wrong. They tried to extend it and failed. See the last sentence in the third paragraph above. This is an apparent victory for We The People but, as a HT Gateway Pundit, LFR thinks that there is indeed a catch. It could very well be. Nothing about the DNC surprises me but what does surprise me is this: too many of my fellow Conservative bloggers seem to apply logic when talking about the DNCers. Folks, this issue is NOT over until the drilling begins and begins in steadfast earnestness and urgency. Period. Until then, the libtards haven't given up anything and I don't see any White Flags yet.

I can understand the elation from the GOP in this regard but I will raise the flag of caution and to not let up the pressure one bit. When the enemy is down, put a boot on their neck. That is how you achieve the true and ultimate victory. No regrets and without remorse.

Atlas Shrugs says that pigs have started to fly.

The Democrat political elites decided to have mercy on the little people. They have destroyed our financial system, our public education system, our legal system, our ability to use our own energy resources, the Democrats have expanded fought for terrorists rights, child rapist rights ................ today it all came down around the heads of American people and so the oppressors let up ... a bit [...]

Again, I will hope that we all keep our eyes on these cretins and to NOT turn our backs to them. I smell something and I cannot quite put my finger on it. My palsy detectors are in full detect mode. I think Ace smells the same thing. So does lawhawk. Glad to see it. Right Truth is right pleased as we all are and they want to know when the drilling starts.

More at Memeorandum...

Energy Freedom Day is soon upon us, folks. Let's remain vigilant.

It Is Official - The Gang of 10/16/20 Is History

~Snooper~

Good. maybe they will all get unelected. Damn morons. They are to do the bidding of the majority and the majority DEMANDS that they friggin' DRILL DRILL DRILL everywhere and go after ALL OF THE ABOVE. Now we don't have to worry about Nancy's retarded game.

The No Oil Zone - Recent History and #dontgo Lives On

~Snooper~

For quite a while now, at least since 01 AUG 08 anyway, the GOP has been pressuring the fraud Nancy to have an up or down vote on the American Energy Act. But, she has better things to do and went gallivanting around at tax payer's expense attending her book sales events. her book was a flop, by the way, and so is she.

At any rate, no pun intended, fuel costs have sky rocketed and have fallen. I think they call that market fluctuations but I call it an unnecessary CF. For a very long time, the DNC leadership has fought every effort to get the American People free of foreign oil. They have placed restrictions on where and when to drill. They have stopped all efforts to build new refineries. They have stated that oil companies can drill in certain areas but no one knows if there is any oil in those designated areas. More than likely, there isn't any but it looks good when the permissions are given. In the long run, this policy of theirs has come around to bite them where they sit.

I have a small collection of posts here and a vast collection located here.

Suffice it to say, Pelosi has been had. The #dontgo Movement which was borne the day Nancy pulled her little stunt in DC has beat her and has placed her on notice. The American People are demanding that she cease and desist with her blathering about saving the planet. That isn't in her job description the last time I looked.

Catch the wave at Memeorandum...

Suitably Flip says that oil is basically free now but you will have to go there and see for yourself. I thought that statement was odd until I sat down and read the article. CBS News tried to stem the tide of bleeding Democrats but that didn't work either. It was along the lines that, and I paraphrase, "Hey! Fuel costs are coming down now so why drill?" That dog don't hunt. To add insult to injury, ABC soon follows the next day announcing that the drill ban has been lifted by CONgress. For stupid people, that sounds good. For those of us that have been following this issue since the early 1970's, we see it for what it is. A huge lie.

Hell. Even President Bush knows all about the #dontgo Movement and knows that we will not accept the Gang of 10 crap that grew into the Gang of 16 and eventually the Gang of 20 before it died a painful death. President Bush said that he would veto the damn thing that Nancy passed. Well, he didn't say "the damn thing" but you get the picture. And, no, we won't accept Gas Stamps either.

When nancy called the drilling issue a hoax, I cracked up. Now, President Bush is telling Congress that their "deal" is the hoax. What nancy has done is nothing. Her precious bill is nothing more than more of the same. So much for Change. And, even though the moratoriums for the most part expire at the end of September 2008, her bill would be nearly a mirror image of those moratoriums.

What I don't get is why Nancy is pretending that she doesn't know where natural gas comes from. I could go somewhere with that but I'm not - at this time. Of course she knows. She is in bed with T Boone Pickens in one of the biggest, if not the biggest, land and water grabs that would make the Robber Barons of yore ecstatic! T Boone Pickens has stated many times that we need to do ALL OF THE ABOVE when it comes to energy freedom and the GOP's American Energy Act does just that.

However, Nancy and her idiots are doing their best to make the energy crisis larger, deeper and more costly to the American People. This is simply unacceptable. She is purposefully making it worse to in some way blame President Bush when he vetoes the bill. Be that as it may, we will not allow that to go unpunished.

Redstate has been concerned about Congress listening to 70% of the American People that are demanding lower fuel costs and by God, it looks like they are. Well, at least the GOP is - for the most part - except for the idiot RINOs here and there. And just what in the hell is an energy freeze? Oh. Wait. I know what that is. I have written quite a few articles on that. Nancy doesn't want to drill because she is heavily invested with T Boone Pickens and her husband plopped down a tidy sum. I wonder if there is any conflict of interest going on there. Her bill pretty much bans drilling but promotes renewable fuels which is YEARS away from coming on line. What a fool she is for thinking that we don't know these things.

Yid is calling the bill a phony bill and he is 100% correct on that. Yid also said that Nancy "snookered" us out of our oil...again. Speaking of snookered...I distinctly remember Nancy saying at one time that the oil belongs to the American People. If that is so, why, then, do we not have it yet?

Weekly Standard also sees this as Pelosi Hoax. Texas Fred wants us to do something - like go after - about the Bakken Oil Formation up in the Dakotas and Montana. Hell. I have known about it for almost forever.

We have so much oil under our own soil it is mental instability causing us not to go after it. Yes, we need alternative energy sources but doing nothing doesn't fix the damn problem and Weasel Zippers calls BS. He doesn't like Nancy either.

The most incompetent person in American political history, Harry Reid, has been saying that is it just too hard to get the energy crisis fixed. He says that there are too many ideas floating around and I suppose that just confuses the hell out of him. I sure hope he gets unelected one day.

Atlas calls Nancy's Hoax Bill a stunt. Indeed. She calls it fiddling while Americans burn - a Prius being sold as a Porsche. Jim Harper said that it appears to be quite evident that the cure for the energy crisis is lightning...tongue in cheek. The bill was introduced late at night and passed the next day and is so full of holes that they hope above hope that someone else will have to deal with the energy crisis at a later date. Idiots all.

Apparently, it is so hard to ALLOW the American Energy Act to be voted on, there just be yet another adjournment. This is unbelievable. They are claiming that no one knows what to do.

HOW ABOUT DRILLING YOU MORONS?

Like McCain stated in Arlington, VA.:

I’m happy to be introduced by Governor Palin, but I can’t wait until I introduce her to Washington. Let me offer an advance warning to the big spending, greedy, do nothing, me first, country second crowd in Washington and on Wall Street: change is coming.

AMEN. As an effort at comical relief or levity for a moment, please check out Suitably Flip. Some Congress Critters are talking about selling fuel door-to-door. OK. Back to seriousness.

The Gang of 20 said that they wouldn't offer any energy solutions either because they are tired of talking about it. Well, that is how I read it anyway and the idiocy of the Chief Gomer, Barack, is just too painful to acknowledge. While the Gang of 20 surrenders, the American People suffer due to the inability of our CONgress to give a damn about the people they have sworn to serve. Imagine that. It's just too damn hard to do their jobs because we are watching them. It is so much better for them when we don't know what in the hell they are up to until it is too late. Sorry, pals. Those days are HISTORY. Because of that, the Gang of 20 input is dead in the water for now.

The bill was a high tax (Biden-esque patriotic!), bogus drilling nightmare.
I say: Hooah!
Ace says, “Huzzah!”
It’s one less GOP-supported sellout we have to worry about.
For now…

Morons. Who elected those idiots anyway?

BE GONE WITH THEM!!

[UPDATE]

The offshore sham...

The Don't Go Movement Needs To Crank It Up A Notch Or Two

~Snooper~

It is now Wednesday and the House has theoretically passed a Non-Energy Energy Bill.

Nancy's leadership to nowhere via Don Surber:

[...] But that’s pretty much how Pelosi and her Democratic Caucus cobbled together their plan to drill for oil. After saying we cannot drill our way out.

No committee hearings.

No testimony from oil executives.

No discussion.

Just put any crap into a bill, label it drilling for oil and pretend after 2 years of doing nothing that the Worst Congress Ever - 14% approval - cares about America.

Harrumph! Harrumph! Harrumph! Harrumph! [...] (read the rest)

The bill the No Oil Zone cretins have presented is crap. Evidently, they want Americans to suffer through the winter and don't give a damn if people freeze to death up north or cannot fill their vehicle fuel tanks or travel on vacations or even eat. Wonderful. Such a caring jerk weed she is, yes?

Right Voices brings us a Call To Action via mm.com and Ace:

[...] Democratic leaders called it a step toward energy independence, but Republicans labeled it a “sham” because most of the estimated 18 billion barrels of oil believed to lie below off-limits coastal waters are within 50 miles of land and will remain out of bounds.

The measure passed in a largely party-line vote of 236-189. It now goes to the Senate, where energy will be the topic later in the week. Thirteen Democrats bucked their leadership and voted against the measure. [END]

Redstate brings us this:

I wanted to make sure you don’t miss the charade that’s being carried out on the floor of the U.S. House today. The Drill-Nothing Democrats finally brought their no-energy energy bill to the floor of the House today for a vote.

We need your help to defeat this bill. Call the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 and tell the Democrats in your state delegation to vote “NO” on Speaker Pelosi’s energy bill. [...] Read the rest

We knew that this would happen and we MUST let McCain - Palin know not to cave into the Gang of 10 now the Gang of 20...The GOPers and Don't Go folks need to walk out...

Does it make any sense at all that the Pelosi Fraud says to let folks drill where there is no oil to be found? I don't think so either. This recent bill that will now go to the Senate needs to go down in flames...NOW...TODAY!

FYI...here is the token post from a jerk-wad at the KOSmonoffs. Idiot.

Boehner has several notes of interest here for your data mining projects: sham - sham - sham - sham -

Once Again Democrats Must Lie To Win

~Snooper~

In yet one more pathetic grasp at a soggy and short straw, there is a group that simply thrives on lies, deceit, innuendo and anything else that they can in order to win an election and/or promote an agenda. That group can be found right here.

These same sad-sacks and gaggle of liars seem to think it quite alright if our enemies to profit off of American tax payers to the tune of a "windfall profit" of $562 Billion.

These same ignominious buffoons think it quite alright for their guy to profit from associations with known communists, socialists and other enemies of Freedom. Coupled with the associations that the would-be Czar has, his wife is of the same mold.

These same fools obviously doesn't know that one of their own intends to profit in a major way and that person is Mary Landrieu.

These same dope-smoking charlatans also seem to not realize that another one of their own intends to make an absolute killing off of the American tax payers by getting into bed with an enemy of theirs. Nancy Pelosi herself is teaming up with an evil oil man and will defraud the American tax payers to the tune of $10 BILLION in tax money.

These same arrogant snot-nosed, wet-behind-the-ears liars have a "poll" on their site that is absolutely fraudulent in all respects. I suppose we shouldn't expect much more than that from crooks and liars.

Little do they know, John McCain is all for the American Energy Act which encompasses an "all of the above" approach that the DNC types have said they wanted but have blocked for 30+ decades. It is only now that they all of a sudden care about high fuel costs. Perhaps they should spend more time finding the Truth instead having wet dreams with lies...Open Secrets is a good place to at least start.

I suppose this group also doesn't know about ExxonObama either. Apparently, their guy Obama received more money from Exxon than McCain did. What will they ever do with that little bit of data?

Perhaps they failed to find out that their guy Obama also met with T Boone Pickens that Obama refuses to talk about.

It could very well be that the #dontgo movement has them worried and the only way to counter us is to lie and bloviate. Nevertheless, we are all over them. The Main Street Media is all over it.

Pelosi, Pickens, Prop 10...Raping The American Tax Payer

~Snooper~

See this article for background...

Well? I do believe that the WSJ heard us...they fact-checked the poor slogs at FactCheck. In an article entitled, Pelosi Investment Shows Unlikely Energy Alliance, it is revealed that T Boone Pickens is beguiling The Pelosi and The Pelosi has been snookered? Not hardly. Her husband's "tiny investment" by buying way below the then market price reeks of impropriety, just like we have previously reported.

[...] Asked if the investment could raise the appearance of impropriety, even if it is legal, Mr. Hammill said such a standard would mean the speaker or her spouse wouldn't be able to own shares in any company given the comprehensive nature of her position.

The Pelosis got in on the ground floor at Clean Energy, purchasing shares in an auction when Mr. Pickens publicly launched the company on May 25, 2007. Clean Energy markets compressed natural gas and liquefied natural gas as a fuel for motor vehicles. The investment was valued at $50,000 to $100,000 when the shares opened at $12.10 apiece, according to Mrs. Pelosi's financial disclosure forms. These forms list investments only as a range of values. The purchase is listed as stock held by the speaker's husband, successful financier and businessman Paul Pelosi. [...]

Sounds like the usual poli-speak to me.

[...] But Mr. Pickens's recent embrace of renewable energy has made him the darling of the Democrats. Since introducing his "Pickens' Plan," the Texas oil billionaire has met with presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, Senate Majority Leader Reid, Mrs. Pelosi and other top Democratic lawmakers.

Mr. Pickens "was my mortal enemy," Mr. Reid said in July. "He's my pal now." [END]

Be sure to go read the rest of the article, especially the "Key Platform Plank" section. No. No influence peddling there. GAWD!!

Someone Needs To Fact Check FactCheck...Might As Well Be Us

~Snooper~

In a recent article on FactCheck, there is a grossly contorted attempt of brush off in regards to The Other One, Nancy Pelosi, and her involvement with T Boone Pickens. You know. The guy that says to drill everywhere including ANWR but the Libocrats seem to cherry pick that. I know. SOP. Personal and professional integrity seems to be thrown to the winds - no pun intended.

The reports from Open Secrets reveals interesting information that seems to have been overlooked. Whether that was intentional or not is up to interpretation. Did I just say that? The reports reveal that SP (the spouse) did the actual buying of the stock in the Pickens venture and the disclaimer that the purchase "amounted to a tiny fraction of the couple's assets". Talk about breezing right by the freeway turn off, clueless as to where one will wind up! The point is that "the family" more than doubled the "modest investment" in one years' time in an energy related company within a country which just so happens to be in a National Security Crisis at the moment in regards to energy. THAT is the point and there isn't anyone that can convince me that Nancy doesn't or didn't know anything about it. After all, she had to fill in the reports and then sign them, correct?

In the FactCheck piece which, is in dire need of fact checking, they failed to reveal that Nancy's "family" investment was offered at $12 but was purchased for a little under $4 per share. On 20 AUG 08, the stock closed at $14.67 per. That is more than doubled so that "meager" initial investment has turned into a not-so-meager capitalist profit.

Coupled with that, Proposition 10, should it pass in the California political process, that "meager" and just a drop in the bucket "tiny" investment is going to go through the ceiling and it will do so on American tax payers' dollars. This reeks of impropriety and surely there are some ethics violations there but, we are talking about Democrats here. Ethics is for someone else.

One more thing. T Boone Pickens will have to DRILL for the energy source. FYI. See the stories below for more information. We haven't even begun to dig.

And, to add insult to injury, this is the same outfit that did the "fact checking" on Czarbama's birth certificate and now there is a law suit which was filed yesterday. I am thinking about starting a new service...FactChecking FactCheckingDotOrg.org.

Check the Freedomist site for in-depth reporting on this issue.

Conservative Tsunami Rising: #dontgo Movement

~Snooper~

Yes, "my friends", I did coin that phrase and I am very proud of it. Even better than that, I see it actually happening and taking place. Sucks to be at the wrong end of it though, because we engineered it to take no prisoners and to wash the leftinistra into that great Abyss of Obscurity - the other phrase I have coined. I suppose I can coin another phrase - Global Conservative Tsunami Jihad. But, it just doesn't flow, no pun intended.

I have been named and have accepted the appointment to the #dontgo Infonet organization. I will be one of 5 National Coordinators for the National Information Committee. My area of responsibility will be in the Southwest which consists of NV, AZ, NM, TX, OK, KS, NE, UT, LA and AR. If you are in one of these States, drop me an email which can be found in the left-hand side bar under "Snooper". If you are a moonbat, you will be dealt with harshly and accordingly. Nothing new there but the disclaimer needed to be stated nonetheless.

And, yes, we do have Nanna to thank for this and if you have any doubts that the Leftinistra are once again on the wrong side of yet another issue, please visit my collection of left, right and otherwise writings on the subject here, here, and here.

The Big Boss has stated that today will begin a new era and the #dontgo will be heavily advertising the Movement and the various committees. Hold on tight folks. The Tsunami is going to be fast and vicious.

The #dontgo Movement: Libtards Frantic

~Snooper~

In a frantic hit piece at ReasonOnline which, by the way, is nothing remotely near "reasonable" is yet another example of moonbats on the losing end of an issue as they are on all issues. Truly pathetic but typical. What these mealy-mouthed lap lickers of their major handler Soros fear the most is that the politicians are going to actually begin to perform their Constitutional Duties and obey the edicts of We The People. Most of the GOP "stuntmen" have signed onto the social network Twitter and are now in direct communication with their constituents.

Please recall some time ago when we reported that Nanna was trying to shut that aspect of communication down. So much for freedom of speech, eh? Also take note that the #dontgo Movement is such a viable threat that the "voices of reason" attacked the site, tried to hack into the site and initially spammed the site in order to shut it down. It failed. Miserably. When was the last time a Conservative thought it to be an honorable happenstance to hack into a MoveOn site to shut it down? When was the last time a Conservative blogger thought it to be honorable to hack into a web site of the opposition in order to shut it down? Please forgive the questions. The answers are readily evident. Opposition members to Conservative Principles have no honor, self-respect or dignity. They are shallow-minded fools whose parents were equally as shallow-minded and taught them no morals. Must be sad going through life bloody well knowing hat they are, each and every one, a liar and full of self-loathing.

For example, we have Hunter from the Daily Fruit Loop Brigade KOSmonoffs decrying that drilling is bad policy. Why, then, is Nanna involved in a scheme that REQUIRES drilling at the expense of the American People to line her pockets with capitalist pig money? Again, please forgive the question. The answer reveals the status quo DNC Double Standard.

We have Satyam at the ReverseEngineering laughing stock whining about topics such as "he said, she said, they said" nonsense and is obviously incapable of grasping the issue of energy independence. This particular libtard blog dedicates its time to exposing itself as truly inane in most issues. I say most because a few times they were actually right about a few things and even went into their comments section to say so.

The Leftinistra will not acknowledge that the Energy Crisis before us is indeed a National Security Issue. We Conservatives have known that it IS a National Security Crisis for decades. We have also know for those same decades that we could be free of foreign oil and could have been free of foreign oil if the Leftinistra hadn't blocked every move. And now, once more, the Leftinistra are blocking it even though the vast majority of Americans are DEMANDING that we go get our own oil. We also are DEMANDING that we stop talking about alternative fuel sources and just giterdun.

So, Nanna is now blocking drilling in order to line her own purse at our expense. This is yet another example of the DNC Double Standard and is quite unacceptable.

We need to and MUST DEMAND that GOPers in DC and across this nation sign onto the efforts to block each and every attempt of the DNC and their handlers to extend the No Oil Zone moratoriums. We are DEMANDING Freedom Energy Day to become a reality and the Gang of Ten need to be silenced.

Nanna is beginning to feel the heat but she hasn't fully realized the implications of ignoring us, to her own detriment. In Day 11 of the American Energy Act rebellion, we find Czarbama without a clue in regards to the economy or the implications of a nation in an energy crisis. Nanna, on the other hand does. That is why she has been able to nearly triple her initial investment with the T-Bonehead Pickens dweeb.

The #dontgo movement and the #dontcompromise movement, pretty much the same, sends a chill up and down the legs of the Leftinistra and not in a good way...for them. It is fear of defeat that creates the chills. The Gang of Ten explained in detail at QandO exposes the RINOs in the Senate that feel left out of the "debate".

[...] I have to tell you, I sometimes wonder what happens to politicians when they cross inside that beltway which surrounds Washington DC. If this is an example, it is a disease badly in need of a cure. Instead of a plan which would offer a way toward breaking our dependence on foreign oil, they’ve offered one which punishes domestic oil companies with taxes, ignores the vast resources available off the Pacific coast, North Atlantic coast, Alaska and in our west, and accepts a pittance in return (which will really do nothing toward bringing on line the supply of oil and gas necessary to cut our dependence on foreign oil).

Or said another way, they managed to give the Democrats everything they wanted without a single shot being fired.

Boobs like that deserve to lose elections. Hell, I can get a Democrat to come up with that sort of garbage. What do I need Republicans for? [END]

OUCH! That is going to leave a scar. For an even deeper would that may not ever heal, Brian at Redstate has a scathing version of the excellent post at QandO: House Republicans to Senate: "I'm With Stupid"

Thanks to Brian Johnson for stopping by to post this. Brian is is a Federal Affairs Manager and Energy Policy Analyst at Americans for Tax Reform and has been quite helpful to me in understanding this compromise plan. - Erick

Yes my friends, I am speaking of the infamous "Gang of Ten" and their fantastically suicidal energy plan (well, at least for five of them).

The plan itself is drastically flawed. And the image they are cultivating while their brethren on the other side of isle (i.e. the House) fighting tooth-and-nail to have a real energy plan, is even more destructive.

Let's look at their alleged "compromise" piece by piece shall we (and readers, try not to gouge your eyes out, or siphon your neighbors tank while reading): [...]

And that was merely the opening volley...read the rest...

#dontgo: The Rebellion Continues

~Snooper~

Earlier today we posted two particularly relevant articles in regards to the GOP Rebellion now going strong and getting stronger by the day. There were others posted as well but the piece entitled Beware Republicans! Don't fall into the trap! and the one entitled #dontgo Nation Wide: No End In Sight But Victory are very appropriate to this piece you are reading now.

Nancy Pelosi, as we have reported on several times, has sanctioned at-risk fellow Leftinistra and eco-Nazi-like sycophants to go ahead and lie to their constituents in regards to energy independence in order to get re-elected or elected. This shows not only their total void of personal integrity but also their lack of professional integrity. If one feels that they must lie for political gain or power, I question their ability to exercise sound judgment in any and all areas even as minor an operation of picking their noses might be.

To add insult to injury, knowing she has sanctioned such activities among "her people" and, by the way, what are the American people to her, she stated oon CNN's Larry King that she is at least willing to consider drilling operations. Keeping all of my research on the Pelosi Worm in the back of my mind as I read article after article, I found countless posts saying that Pelosi is beginning to cave. Not hardly.

johnsblog42 seems to think that Nanna is caving. The Pirate's Cove sort of king of thinks so but is leery...smart move. Surprisingly, PoliPundit has apparently taken the bait. Right Voices is admonishing everyone to keep watch on Nanna. Wizbang got me with their title and I had thought "OH NO!" until I actually clicked out of the Reader and read the entire post which, btw is a must read. WUA says that Nanna is backed into a corner with no way out and that is exactly correct. John Boehner is calling Nanna out over her interview with CNN and I would imagine that she is just all contrite...NOT!...and he is sending the message home in a very large way. No wonder the moonbats are having hissy fits...they see the Abyss of Obscurity opening up to swallow them whole and they are sore afraid. Hot Air also had one of those "you've got to kidding me titles" but knowing Ed, I wasn't totally sucker-punched. He sees the writing on the wall as well. However, Erick at Red State has taken the bait...too bad and big surprise in store coming his way for sure.

Newt Gingrich says that Nancy is stuck between a rock and an oil well. Is Newt reading The Newt? IBD Editorials asks, "Will Congress Cross the Jordan?". After reading the post, the sarcasm was duly noted. We have heard that it is too hard to extract oil from shale yet, that is exactly what Jordan is doing...and Shell Oil will be doing the extractions.

[...] Meanwhile, we sit on enough oil to make OPEC look like a mom-and-pop operation. In the West we may have what could be called a Persia on the Plains. A Rand Corp. study says the Green River Formation, which covers parts of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, has the largest known oil shale deposits in the world.

"The United States has 2 trillion barrels of oil shale," according to the Institute for Energy Research. "This is more than seven times the amount of crude oil reserves found in Saudi Arabia and is enough to meet current U.S. demand for over 250 years."

Consider that the entire world has used around 1 trillion barrels since oil was discovered in Titusville, Pa., in 1859.

"If full-scale production begins within five years," reckons Nick Loris of the Heritage Foundation, "the U.S. could completely end its dependence on OPEC by 2020." There's enough North American petroleum trapped in oil sands and shale rock to form our own OPEC. [...]

In other items of interest, in another IBD Editorial piece, the writer does caution people on Nanna's sudden "change of heart"...my paraphrase. It is well worth the read and to heed the admonition. While House Democrats will meet to determine their options - OPTIONS? WTFO?

[...] Party leaders in the House are expected to convene a conference call on Wednesday to discuss their options in the ongoing energy debate, including a potential compromise measure that could include some expanded permitting for oil and gas exploration, a leadership aide said Tuesday. [...]

I never thought I would ever see the day that I would consider the term "compromise" as the dreaded and inflammatory "C-word" but, there it is and it doesn't start with "P" either. I also haven't considered the possibility that American Democrats could actually hate American Oil but love all the other oil not American. To me, that is a stretch but Doug Ross has a good point:

In May Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said that Saudi Arabia could slash oil prices by drilling for more oil.

If Saudi Arabia were to increase its production by 1 million barrels per day that translates to a reduction of 20 percent to 25 percent in the world price of crude oil, and crude oil prices could fall by more than $25 dollar per barrel from its current level of $126 per barrel [...]

If that isn't an indictment of how looney the Leftinistra are, I wouldn't know what is. Schumer said that increasing supply is done by - are you ready? - DRILLING! But, only if it was Saudi Arabia doing the drilling. And they wonder why quite a few countries do not take the USA seriously? Surely the Saudis are rolling on the floor - in a dignified manner, naturally - laughing their heinies off at us. Why is it that AMERICA cannot drill to increase supply and the Saudis can? Are they better at it than the USA? Are they eco-friendlier than the USA? I would say no to both questions.

Michelle Malkin (my secret sweetheart) needs to see a doctor:

Maybe Do-Nothing Nancy should enter the Olympic diving competition. She gets a 10 for her flip-flop-flop yesterday on drilling. It is now no longer the "hoax" she knew.

What a hoot. Did she think she could sell 2 more books trying to pander and straddle like this? Nan, you're slaying us. My sides hurt. [...]

I laughed also but not like that. Mine was more of a derisive and contemptuous sneer chuckle type of a thing. Melanie Morgan our GREATEST Troop Supporter in the known universe derided Nanna in this manner:

San Fran Nanny may be a 'progressive' democrat, but even her leftist positions are moderated by the polls from time to time, and right now, today, is one of those times.

That's why she has now dropped the word 'hoax' from her vocabulary over offshore oil drilling, and has decided to allow for a vote.

Kudos to the Congressional Republicans who stayed strong in the dimmed rooms of Congress, demanding a vote over and over again. It looks like the heat got to be too much for Madame Speaker -- she needs to get out of the kitchen. [...]

I sent her an email cautioning against too much excitement...LOL!! I cannot stand Nanna...her voice has become much worse than Hillary's and that is either an accomplishment or something else - I'm not quite sure yet. And, I just love Gateway Pundit serious humor...is there such a thing?

Pelosi Falls For Drilling Hoax -- Pelosi says that she might consider allowing a vote on domestic drilling and energy development but that it would have to be part of a larger package that included other policies, like releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. She did not mention whether government regulated tire inflation would be part of the plan. [...]

Now, I saved the Gateway Pundit snippet for last for a reason. And, that reason is the piece from The Hill where it describes what Nanna is up to. She timed the interview on the Larry King show to coincide with the Olympics in the hopes that America was watching that silly thing and not paying attention to the screwing Americans are getting and have been getting from the Leftinistra for decades. The Leftinistra are banking on no one paying attention. The War In Georgia is also being used as a distraction as well as ugly as that sounds but, there you have it and I wouldn't doubt it at all - not one iota. That is how the liberal mind works...deceitful, dishonest, no moral values, no honesty, no integrity personal or professional.

The title of the piece from The Hill: "Pelosi looks to load up drilling bill". And there it is. I can smell earmarks from here and I am nearly 2,000 miles away from DC. I can smell the use of the "C-word".

[...] Democratic leaders are expected to begin discussing the shape of the package in a conference call Wednesday.

Republicans, who have staged a sit-in of sorts on the House floor for more than a week in order to demand an immediate drilling vote, greeted Pelosi's gesture with deep skepticism.

"If Speaker Pelosi is truly sincere about having a vote on deep-ocean oil and gas drilling to help bring down fuel costs, she should use her power as Speaker to call Congress back into session immediately and schedule a vote on the American Energy Act," Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said in a statement released Tuesday morning.

Both Boehner and House Minority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said the protest on the floor will continue. Republicans are demanding a vote on the entire Republican energy plan, which includes drilling offshore and in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska.

"We are asking that she bring our American Energy Act up for a vote," said Rep. John Kline (R-Minn.), who on Tuesday morning led nine Republicans to the House floor for their 10th day of protests. "If she brings it up under regular order, then amendments will be allowed and we'll have that debated. What we want is a chance to have that debate and have a vote."

Pelosi intentionally timed her reversal on CNN's "Larry King Live" to fall well before the political intensity of the party conventions and into a news cycle dominated by the Olympics. [END]

It isn't a Pelosi reversal folks. It is her way to attempt to take over the debate by using the "C-word" and adding "amendments" and we all know what that bloody well means.

Stand tough GOP Rebellion. Stand tough. She is PISSED off because her attempt to delay debate and vote failed. Her original intent was to delay it long enough to get the moratoriums continued so she can make untold BILLIONS on the T Boone Land and Water Grab Scheme.

PAY ATTENTION!!

Speaker Pelosi: The Pressure Mounts

~Snooper~

Last evening, on first glance, it appeared that the Speaker of the People's House was beginning to cave into the House Republicans demanding that the American People's demands were met. Not so fast. All she is doing is buying time and it won't work.

Her interview with CNN's Larry King was applauded by those clueless and laughable by those that have been investigating Nancy Pelosi under the radar. Her continual unethical behavior after promising an open Congress and the most ethical Congress in US History is beginning to shine light on her true intentions and abuse of power.

With the discovery of Nancy Pelosi's financial ties to T Boone Pickens and the CLNE and upon further digging, more chickens have come home to roost. Unless an individual willfully suspends their disbelief, the unethical and quite possible illegal activity of the Speaker is woefully apparent.

One of CLNE's underwriters is WR Hambrecht whose owner is a known left-wing activist contributing thousands to the socialist agenda of various "liberal" candidates across the nation. Being linked in principle and ideologies, a known left-wing activist group Center For American Progress will be hosting a gathering of heavy hitters known to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid in Nevada. The gathering will be part of the National Clean Energy Summit in August.

However, this association is merely the tip of the scandal.

It has also been learned that a possible "insider trading" scandal will soon be unearthed and Nancy Pelosi is in the middle of it with her betrayal of trust from the American People is being exposed day by day. It is no wonder then that she appears to on the "I care about America" meme on CNN.

In follow up discovery and upon reading the SEC documentation a request to the FTC is being formulated to have the actions of Nancy Pelosi investigated for insider trading violations and using her political clout and power as third in line to the US Presidency for financial gain. She stands to make billions in this transaction.

[...] The Democrats, with possibly a few Republicans, are more focused on "saving the planet" out of their belief in the global warming hoax, and limit their energy plan to alternative energy solution such as the Pickens Plan Nancy Pelosi has invested in, releasing oil from the SPR, and continuing to develop biodiesel and ethanol while, as a possible "compromise" allowing SOME offshore drilling. [...]

The ulterior motives are astoundingly evident merely on the surface. As more and more Americans are demanding that the energy crisis building up with each and every passing day be addressed and the democrat Party leadership refusing the will of the American People, one can only conclude that there is indeed something amiss.

In two articles in The Hill, Nancy Pelosi reveals her inability to conduct the Nation's business and in the other the GOP further reveals her dishonesty and her lack of professional and personal integrity.

Nancy Pelois's recent stunt in DC is another example of a DNC distraction technique employed when caught between a rock and another rock with more rocks being piled on top. What are the reasons, other than trying to save the planet which isn't her job, that she constantly bucks the will of the American People? What is her end game? Is she trying to buy time to cover her tracks while cashing in on the alternative energy scheme?

And, why is she so involved in a major land grab scheme that would make the Robber Barons of years of yore giddy? And, why is she so interested in private ownership of American water supplies?

So many questions with not so many viable answers.

In case you are interested and I see no reason why not to be, I have collected a few blogs posts and articles for your reading material...our enemies fighting for further dependence on foreign oil are deathly afraid of the American Energy Act and for good reason.

Republicans, reacting to high gas prices, have demanded a vote on additional oil exploration in the Outer Continental Shelf, where drilling is currently blocked by a moratorium. Until now, Pelosi (D-Calif.) has resisted the idea as a "hoax." But in an interview on CNN's Larry King Live, she indicated that she was open to a vote. [...]

The Gang of 10 Harms America, Not Just the GOP

[...] Rush, in fact, makes a similar point talking with Saxby Chambliss. The GOP is winning on this issue. The Gang of 10 compromise takes away the only issue on which the GOP is winning.
