Aw man. One of my Senators, Bob Corker, is one of the gang of "whatever." I haven't seen Lamar Alexander listed as being one of the ~~traitors~~ ~~capitulators~~ ~~weasels~~ gang members but I'm not sure where to look for that information. I'm going to call his tomorrow to urge him to retract his support of this nonsense but what do I tell him to support instead?

What good will a “principled” vote for a 3rd party candidate do?
All it will do is elect BHO.

I say, either vote for McCain/Palin or write in Mickey Mouse (an option which, until recently, I was seriously considering), but 3rd parties are only good as spoilers in the race for POTUS.

Honestly, I’m voting more for Palin than for Johnny M.

Am I the only one who thinks Sarah Palin’s appointment as VP candidate was at least partly related to the public’s (and House Republicans) reaction to Comrade Pelosky’s decision to block a vote on energy?

Let’s see, tax increases, forced to put in alternative fuel pumps (by the way I remember a report when gas prices were going up saying that the new pumps can cost up to $25,000), renemwabel energy mandates (like the one that was hoisted onto WA state making hydroelectricity a non-renewable energy source which is where we in the ever so wet Pacific NW get most of our electricity from). All I see is gas prices going up even higher with this bill.

Why can’t Congress hammer out all of our energy issues? Why do they just take an inch toward a solution instead of a mile? Is the idea now to pass what is a flawed bill to improve Congress critters self-esteem?

This is just a stupid bill with very flimsy packaging. These incompetents don’t care about our country, only their public images. Let’s pretend we care to the home crowd but pass a bill that’s doesn’t do nearly enough.

I hate these people. I am so frustrated. Nothing changes, no matter who is president.

Why can’t America see that these ineffectual nimcompoops aren’t doing a damn thing? Have they not listened to the people?

I mean… do they really think that only using a sliver of the OCS will do anything? They’re just handing the American people a bone, but it’s a bone that’s already chewed on with no nutritional content.

This bill either needs to be stalled or killed entirely. October 1, 2008 is just around the corner.

Why sign up for just a piece of the action when we can wait a couple extra days and have the WHOLE ENCHILADA?

Aaron Tippin has a message for the good folk up on capitol hill::

Hello…..Is anybody out there listenin’ in Washington D.C. This is the suffering voice of America crying out for relief Now I don’t know what a gallon of gas costs up on capitol hill But we sure know what it cost down here in realityville...

Follow the link for the rest of the lyrics (and a very affordable download) of Drill Here Drill Now, which Newt Gingrich, and American Solutions have promoted as a "rallying cry for those who support drilling for more American-made energy." It was cranked up on my iPod (playing through my car's sound system) as I drove to the airport this afternoon. High gas prices have had a direct impact on my job, ergo, on my income, and on the price of all the goods that we depend on (like food!) so Tippin's call, "Is anybody out there listenin' in Washington D.C." speaks for me, as I know it does for a lot of you. As he tells politicians in the song, "Do somethin'!"

Yeah, Bela Pelosi’s in bed with T. Bone Pickpocket. (Shield your eyes, young ones) What I found the most hilarious was when T. Bone was testifying on Capitol Hill and was the darling of all the libs when he was talking wind and solar. But as soon as he started talking about drilling, they cut him off and shut him up.

Then, a few weeks later, here’s Nan again, extoling the virtues of natural gas. People were stunned. Then she found out it’s a derivative of oil. Her stupidity knows no bounds.

So, it looks like Washington wants OPEC to continue deciding our economy and foreign policy. When they decide to shut down the pipeline again, to blackmail us again, what will congress do then? Let me guess…blame it on old Bush policies and the conservatives, then bow down to OPEC once again.

So this Democrap bill is pretty much more of the same old do nothing while appearing to do something. Pretty much in keeping with the last two years from these bozo’s

Rob,

No. I’m voting for McCain/Palin.

Just one more reason to keep Obama far, far away from the WH.

What are you talking about? Who said I was voting for Obama?

Oh… maybe I am wrong. Didn’t you say you were not voting for McCain/Palin? That would be electing Obama…
