Make sure to vote in the online Presidential Poll. The KOS kids have been screwing with it.
No compromise when over 70% of Americans want the ban to expire! Hold their feet to the fire and tell the American people what you are doing. Tell them that it will expire on X date and force it to expire even if it means not passing a single anything until the day after it expires!
Compromise? This should be an example of a “legislative pocket veto”.
Democrat Political Speak - Compromise = everyone wins
What it means in Real Life Speak - Compromise = FU do it our way or no way.
Economy=Energy.
Republicans should swing for the fence and take the down the Democrat controlled congress by wire-brushing them with this issue right up to election day.
At the brink of absolute triumph, CHAMBLISS and ISAKSON want to snatch a continued stalemate from the jaws of victory. What is it about the Senate that turns fighters into traitors? Damn these weak-kneed RINOs!
9% is something to be ashamed of...Looks like they're going for 2%.
“use Corn”....showed the stupidty of subsidizing alternatives. We’re paying again and again. It just creates another dip fund for the government.
Chambliss is a RINO and then some.
Remember the immigration amnesty bill. He was a big backer of it. His reason (said at a Republican event in GA): “Who will pick our crops?”
I live in GA and can tell you Chambliss is part of the problem.
Isakson! The GA Democratic part ENDORSED Isakson when he ran. They actually told their own candidates to drop out.
If Dingy Harry trys to close down the goverment like he has threatened to do, it will be a gift that will put the GOP back in power after this election.
What would be really fun is to get the Big Oil companies out protesting against offshore drilling and opening ANWR. Get them to come out and say “More drilling is not a good thing, it would hurt our profits”. Publically denounce it, and side with Nancy Pelosi.
Heck, I’d like to see them sending huge donations to anti-drilling environmentalist groups to denounce drilling, that way they can then say, “Look who’s really in deep with Big Oil”.

We are not here to compromise our energy independence. We are not compromising anything. Let the bill expire.
