is it just me, are do the dems seem utterly confident that this election is in the bag for them? the white house,
and both houses of congress. why stop and get unnecessarily involved on an isue that has over 70% support
nationwide? they can only hope that this little episode doesn't wind up in youtube.
either that, or they are just suicidal.
Pelosi to protesters: "Can we drill your brains?"
House Democratic leaders and protesters waving McCain signs had a war of words Tuesday at a press event outside an old train station. The demonstrators interrupted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with chants of “Drill here! Drill now!â€
Pelosi paused and asked the group, “Right here?â€
Seeming to enjoy the back and forth, she followed with another question: “Can we drill your brains?â€
She went on to refer to the protestors, who continued to chant sporadically, as “handmaidens of Big Oil.†Arguing that increased offshore drilling would only reduce gas prices two cents in 10 years, she referred to the demonstrators as the “two-cents-in-ten-years-crowd.â€
Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer swiped at the demonstrators, too, saying that “sophomoric chanting†won’t solve the energy crisis and that “all thinking Americans know†— stressing the word "thinking" and looking at the crowd — that America doesn’t have a quarter of the word’s fossil fuels yet uses a quarter of the world’s energy.

The asshats in her state will probably reelect the bitch anyway.

Hey, Nancy--at least they HAVE brains, and USE them!
What an ignorant cow. Get back on your broom taxpayer funded 757 that burns 1500 gallons of fuel per hour and try to impersonate Amelia Earhart or something, won't you?
-
Considering Stretch's constituency, she will be reelected. *shudder* Too bad she forgets that there are 298 million or so other people in this country.

What a stupid cow....2 cents my ass...
a serious threat of drilling alone would drop the price of oil to 60 bucks in a week...
Damn her constituents are ****ing dumb..... :loser:

the whole subject of energy in general and fossil based fuels in particular seem bring out the industrial-strength stupid in her.

Pelosi won't lose because soros is bankrolling her election. Saw that on another board. I never understood the hatred toward offshore drilling. It's not like it will be in their backyard and fuel prices would go down. After paying $4.50 per gallon, heck yes I'll take 2 cents anytime.
