Rep. Thaddeus McCotter has a message for Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the House Democratic caucus, and he wanted it delivered at Hot Air. The chair of the Republican House Policy Committee says that Americans haven’t been fooled by Pelosi’s ploys to mimic support for drilling, and the outspoken Republican calls for a rational energy policy — now.
Demand Maximum American Energy – Now!
Leaving by example, Democrat Speaker Nancy Pelosi jetted off on her summer vacation under the assumption energy squeezed Americans would throng to buy her book, Know Your Power.
But Americans weren’t buying it – literally.
Economically maimed by the pain at the pump, citizens demanded vacationing Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats’ “Don’t Care” Congress get back to work and pass an “all of the above” energy bill to lower gas prices.
Unmoved by these working families’ sufferings, Speaker Pelosi conjured up another so-called “energy” proposal – one that is already acclaimed by none other than the anti-energy zealots at the Sierra Club. Yes, this is the same Sierra Club that pronounced: “We’re better off without cheap gas.”
Unfortunately, the Sierra Club’s collective “we” included us.
Not surprisingly, then, the Speaker’s latest lethargy proposal apes other energy schemes she’s brought to the House floor without amendment and under a super-majority vote requirement. Desperate to guarantee these bills’ defeats and blame Republicans, the Speaker orchestrated the nauseating spectacle of “Don’t Care” Democrats, who a few months ago wouldn’t vote to drill a tooth, now hugging derricks instead of trees.

I guess “Know Your Power” isn’t the same thing as “Know Your Energy.”
“But, Queen Pelosi, without oil the people cannot afford to drive!!”
“Then let them take private jets!”
The Democrats are setting themselves up for a “McGovern Moment”
If ole John and the RNC Platform are smart, they would do a Truman and run also against a do nothing Dem majority Congress. Like Newt in ‘94, they could nationalize the campaign and cut down on Dem gains in the Congress and might get ole John elected.
Go McCotter! I’m still praying the GOP is watching him!!!
McCotter is my Congressman. He’s a good man.
