She and her crowd could resign, but those who would replace them are even less capable of seeing reality.

As the dollar drops it becomes less attractive for illegals to come to this country.

The dollar is the new peso.

I like it a lot because I don't own any dollars dumped them all long ago when I saw what the Fed was up to. Reminds me of the late 70s when people would spend their paychecks as soon as they got them because prices were going up so fast.

Inflationary tsunami is coming stay away from the coasts.

BUMP

[Vinnie]

She said this with a straight face?
Wait, her face is frozen in one position.

DRILL ANWR, DRILL OFF FLA, and any other DOMESTIC field.
The dims, with help from a few repubs, killed it a few yrs ago.
It’s on their heads.
Hell, Cuba with China’s help is going to drill about 40 miles from Fla. ,and we can’t??

We need to tell the Dems and the wackos to get out the buggy whips and the wagon and go somewhere else...

You think we can take away Pelosi's jet and make her pedal her butt home?

I can remember when Ethyl gas was 20c/gallon. I asked a Sun refinery engineer how much would it cost to remove the lead and get the same antiknock rating? Answer: a cent/gal more. When? 1958.

I agree with you, Prof, however, you miss the point of the question. Why is Ms. Pelosi concerned with the high price of crude oil, when it is in her best interest, according to Liberal, social thinking to control oil prices (higher)?

With this, they can force things such as a “Green agenda”, pulling in more and more people to try to reduce the use of cars, planes, trains and so on, thereby forcing those evil car companies to make new, 100 MPG carburetors.

I certainly DO understand the “scapegoat” theory, which is PRECISELY what certain government officials are best at, placing blame firmly on someone else.

“As the price of oil surges toward an historic high of $100 a barrel – almost four times the price when President Bush took office – the 110th Congress is committed to a New Direction for our nation on energy security.

What? Hoping it appears out of dry air? Because if we don't start harvesting our natural resources and drill offshore, the Chinese are going to suck it all out of the ground before we even break earth at this rate.

Talk about a do-nothing, full of hot air congress...

[Bommer]

the 110th Congress is committed to a New Direction for our nation on energy security.

I didn't know a circle was a direction?

[Mogollon]

Biofuels are a loser: They will cost us just as much with the added effect of causing food prices to skyrocket We need to drill in ANWR, the Caribbean and off the coast of California. We also need to build about 50 new refineries.

[VeniVidiVici]

invest in the homegrown biofuels

So in other words she ain't gonna do a damn thing either.

No! Wait! She is!

"Homegrown biofuels" are currently subsidized by the government. Just like many countries to include Iran, etc. They have major riots all the time when the government decides to raise the price of fuel.

So is Pelosi telling us that the government is going to set price controls?

"If the dems cared at all about energy security they would be looking for ways to allow drilling off our coasts, encouraging the use of clean coal and clearing the decks for nukes to be constructed plus allowing new refineries and LNG facilities to be built. They are against all those things."

Amen and right on!

"Hey Nancy, my hemorrhoids are acting up and it is YOUR fault."

ROFL!!!!!! Excellent!

[Convert from ECUSA]

"Oh I see, so a Democratic caucus that has consistently voted against drilling in ANWR, voted UNIANIMOUSLY in October 2005 to oppose the loosening of regulations on refinery building and against allowing fast tracking of refinery construction as well as against reducing the over 30+ boutique fuel blends enacted by the Clinton EPA (along with his 1996 veto of drilling in ANWR, the oil from which would have come online by now likely reducing pump prices by 50-75 cents a gallon) which tax refinery capacity and gasoline supplies, the same Democrats who refused to do anything to reduce legal liability on MBTE which has now made the stuff too legally dicey to continue to produce, thus forcing us into the costly ethanol use which also drives up the price of food, this same party which did as much as China and India’s consumption to drive up the price at the pump, these same DemoCrites now want to claim gas prices are all Bush’s fault?? Nancy, go to your plastic surgeon and ask him to loosen the skin gathers on your face. He’s obviously tied off the blood supply to your puny brain."

FRiend, you nailed it with a great big hammer! Right on!

Another “queer” proposal from Queen Nancy of San Francisco.
