Palin knocks it out of the park!

I just got done watching the speech, and I like what I am seeing. She has nerves of steel. I think we may be seeing not only the next VP, but the POTUS after McCain as well. She basically called out the MSM and Dems. I like her.

Pelosi coming around?

I really doubt that San Fran Nan is really serious about allowing a vote on drilling. I wonder how she is going to avoid the slamming that Dems are going to get in November in a year when Dems had super majorities seemingly locked up in both the House and Senate. The Republicians , the five dummies in the Senate not included, have an issue that they can take to majorities in the House and Senate as well as the White House. Here is SF Nancy's "maybe" on drilling:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday night dropped her staunch opposition to a vote on offshore oil drilling in the House.

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.

“They have this thing that says drill offshore in the protected areas,” Pelosi said. “We can do that. We can have a vote on that.”

She indicated such a vote would have to be part of a larger package that included other policies, like releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which she said could bring down prices in a matter of days.

“But it has to be part of something that says we want to bring immediate relief to the public and is not just a hoax on them,” Pelosi continued.

She even indicated that she might support a package that includes drilling. She said her decision on whether to support such legislation would depend on how the policies are packaged.

“It’s not excluded, let’s put it that way,” Pelosi said.

I know that drilling is only part of the answer, but it is part of it and we better get going now. We send way to much money to people that really do not like us.

We need an "All of the Above" type of plan. Oil drilling, shale oil, coal to gas, nuclear, coal fire plants, tidal electricity, wind, solar, biofuel (as long as its not burning the food supply), all of them. Our needs are just going to grow. The "alternative energy" sources are way off. We can't plan on having them and stop traditional energy methods. The day will come, if we do, that we do not have the new sources in place and are in no shape to get energy the old way. Look past today!

Republicans at work, Obama

Some of the Republicans are back at the House again today demanding a new energy policy. Meanwhile, Obama has released his plan.

House Republicians Growing a pair!

The House of Representatives has gone on a five week recess and did so without having an vote on energy production. The Dems do not want a vote and have to go on record before the election as telling the average American to get bent over high energy prices. (They are in the pocket of Environmental Extremists) The Republicans are not having any of this and are still on the floor of the House. I love it! If the Republicians want to win a landslide, this is the issue. Its a winner! We do not need ta credits for expensive energy costs, we need more energy. The American people know this and the Democrats are on the losing end of this.

Dems for Disaster

I think I now can say that the Democrats are out to destroy the USA. We are a country based and built in the last 100 years on oil. I do agree that we can and will move away from oil. but it will not happen any time soon and the Dems are dead set against drilling for any of the vast oil supplies that we have here. We do not even know how big the oil reserves that we have below our land and sea are.
The mantra that keeps coming from the left is that drilling now will have no quick impact on the price of oil. Well, I disagree, but even if it were true, we need to start looking to the long term here. If Clinton would have let oil companies drill in the 90's, we would have that oil in the supply today. If we would have been expanding our nuclear energy and natural gas supplies and power plants, we would not have the inflation that we are seeing now.
We need to send a message to the politicians that have sold out to the $ that comes from all lobby groups that they really work for us. That is a bipartisan slam. They are both in on the game. Its time to wake these jokers up or get them out.
Support lifting the ban on offshore drilling and all of the oil shale we have is just the first step in the long term solution to the most pressing issue we have, both economically and security.
Good job on the green remodel Al!
