The American Energy Revolt: Day 3
Get the word out about the defiance of Speaker Pelosi and the Democrat Majority to hold an “open, full and fair debate” about American energy.
“Republicans Again Take Protest to House Floor, Without Democrats”
- Associated Press, Aug. 4, 2008
It’s Day 3 of the American Energy Revolt, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi is digging in her heels!
This past Sunday, on ABC’s This Week, George Stephanopoulos pointed out to Speaker Pelosi that when Democrats took the Majority in Congress, she promised “open, full and fair debate.”
Stephanopoulos: “If [Republicans] want to offer a drilling proposal, why can’t they have a vote?”
Pelosi: “They, they, they, they’ll have to use their imaginations as to how they can get a vote.”
Translation: NO VOTE TO INCREASE AMERICAN OIL

I really, seriously loathe that woman.
And I’m not even American (yet!).

There is a lot not to like.
The democrat-controlled Congress has an appalling approval rating - according to Rasmussen - 9%.

Congress has, throughout its history, always had a low approval rating (though never this low of course). That being said, Americans always give their own Congressmen high levels of approval. Anyone expecting that these approval ratings are going to lead to a pickup of Republican seats in either the House or the Senate is going to be disappointed.
