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 havent been fooled by Pelosis 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 werent buying it literally.
Economically maimed by the pain at the pump, citizens demanded vacationing Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats Dont 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: Were better off without cheap gas.
Unfortunately, the Sierra Clubs collective we included us.
Not surprisingly, then, the Speakers latest lethargy proposal apes other energy schemes shes 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 Dont Care Democrats, who a few months ago wouldnt 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.
