Pelosi, Dems Attempt to Cement "Worse Congress Ever" Legacy
After failing their effort to flee the field last week regarding the nation's financial crisis, the liberal Democratic leadership took another step towards record mediocrity today, when it was discovered they were trying to sneak in an extension to the ban on offshore drilling:
"Since the Democrats took control of Congress, Americans have seen prices at the pump increase by 75 percent. Americans watched as Democrats, led by Speaker Pelosi, took a five-week vacation this summer while they suffered. Americans also watched as Democrats brought a hoax, no energy-energy bill to the floor last week. And today, Americans watch as Democrats prevent access to American energy in a bill designed to keep the government functioning. Once again, when it comes to providing solutions to help lower fuel prices for Americans, Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats are more out of tune than a rusty piano."Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats have made clear their desire to appease environmental extremists while fooling the American people into thinking that they support Republican efforts to open up America’s energy resources."
Pelosi and House Democrats are attempting this even as oil prices are skyrocketing.
Cagey move by Pelosi to dare the GOP/Bush Administration to shut down the government in the middle of the financial crisis.
I wish they would shut it down and let Wall Street fend for itself.
Posted by: Stephen Macklin at September 22, 2008 07:57 PMIf McCain and Palin are as smart as I think they are, Pelosi and Reid will get impeached and the Dem incumbants, in both houses, will have a hell of a time trying to get reelected (if the poll numbers are accurate and their constituency isn't dumber than rocks). These dems have proven to be the most inept congress in history, if not outright traitorous.
Posted by: Tonto (USA) at September 22, 2008 09:42 PMThe democrazies in congress are true to their word. Doesn't anyone remember they promised to change the direction of the country during the 2006 campaign. It worked-
*George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. The first six the economy was fine.*
*A little over one year ago
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.
4) the DOW JONES hit a record high--14,000 +
5) Americans were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacations overseas, living large!
But Americans wanted 'CHANGE'! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress and yes--we got 'CHANGE' all right.
In the PAST YEAR:
1) Consumer confidence has plummeted;
2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing!;
3) Unemployment is up to 5.5% (a 10% increase);
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION and prices still dropping;
5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
6) as I write, THE DOW is probing another low – $2.5 TRILLION HAS EVAPORATED FROM
THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS!
YES, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED20FOR CHANGE...AND WE SURE GOT IT! ....*
REMEMBER THE PRESIDENT HAS NO CONTROL OVER ANY OF THESE ISSUES, ONLY CONGRESS.*
AND WHAT HAS CONGRESS DONE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.*
NOW THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT CLAIMS HE IS GOING TO REALLY GIVE US CHANGE ALONG WITH A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS!!!! "
JUST HOW MUCH MORE 'CHANGE' DO YOU THINK YO U CAN STAND?
"In God We Trust"

Scrapiron, I don't care where you got those figures. They're excellent. No, I take that back. I wish you could remember, so I could post that at mine! I'm going to *ahem* borrow it from here and post it at my place, if you don't mind.

It's about time people start realizing what this Democrapic congress is all about.
