| Repubs to Continue Energy Sit-in on Monday at 10 |
| 2008-08-05 |
| As I was reading all of this happening on Friday (thanks to the technology that integrates into the Net), we could witness this first hand. I read then, that some were discussing, to keep this going — returning with a handful each week, and continue to take to the floor. Seems, they are gonna do it! A number of Republicans will be taking to the floor tomorrow, despite the fact the House is officially in a five-week recess, to continue what Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) is calling a "historic effort to free Americans for generations to come from dependence on foreign oi." Last Friday's spontaneous uprising garnered both media attention and the ire of Democrat leaders, who responded to the GOP's refusal to leave DC to go on vacation when the nation's energy crisis is growing by attempting to have media and visitors expelled from the chamber so that no reports of what was being done there could reach the public. A memo from Rep. Roy Blunt's (R-MO) Minority Whip office to lawmakers said: “By now youve heard of Fridays successful energy ‘sit-in by House Republicans. Nancy Pelosi referred to Friday's protest as "the war dance of the handmaidens of the oil companies" when asked about it by George Stephanopoulos on Sunday morning (in the same appearance in which she had to 180° on her "saving the planet" no-drilling stance due to Barack Obama's reversal two days before). |

| #1 The headline should read "Plastic Tits Queen of the Elites Calls Republicans Handmaidens" McCain is right...we need to drill here, and we need to drill now. May I add that we need to secure our borders and bring back jobs for Americans while at it. And strengthen the dollar, and improve education by removing the leftists, and destroy what remains of the MSM. And a pony. |
