No Runny Eggs

Just last week Denny Hoyer, sent out by Nancy Pelosi because she’s incapable of saying “I’m wrong,” was quoted by TheHill.com as saying:

"[Republicans] will have the opportunity to offer their alternative, yes," Hoyer said in response to a question about how the energy bill will be introduced. "We understand that their motion to recommit will be their Republican alternative."

Representative Marsha Blackburn (R) Tennessee calls “Bullshit” on Denny and Nancy with her statement:

"After a five-week vacation and a cross country book tour; during which time Democrats turned off the lights, turned off the cameras, and refused to address the energy issue; we have this 290 page sham energy bill dropped in the middle of the night. There hasn’t been a single hearing on this bill and not a single amendment will be allowed. This is no way to address the most pressing issue for America. On the process alone, this is unacceptable."

The bill the Dems dropped on the House today was just another example of Nancy Pelosi marking time and accomplishing nothing for the American people. Amongst other things, the ridiculous bill included:

• The ability to drill offshore only outside of 50 Miles
• The ability for states to opt out of the drilling forcing drilling out to 100 miles
• Didn’t include some of the most productive drilling areas
• Increasing taxes on oil companies, regardless of what they recovered, but up to $30B…most of which was going to be used to “invest” in unproven and going nowhere “alternative” energy solutions.

Besides the fact that in reality, this only opens drilling outside of 100 miles and really doesn’t add any substantial amounts of additional energy to the mix, the areas on the West coast that are at the 100 mile + distance are very difficult, if at all possible to drill because of the depths of the ocean.

Pelosi is trying to give her Democrat House members cover in the upcoming elections.   She’s trying to be able to say the the Republicans wouldn’t agree to a bipartisan bill.   You and I know the truth…pass it along.   I’m hoping the American people see through her ploys and shows her the door in November!
