I commented that liberals hate her, too. And I particularly hate her because she comes from California and is an embarrassment to our state. I apologized on behalf of California.<BR/><BR/>Pelosi IS an idiot. However, Cindy Sheehan will be runnin for her seat in 2010, as will Sen. Boxer (who got a 0% from the Christian Coalition), and would be a dynamic Speaker... and...<BR/><BR/>(oooooo this is the best...)<BR/><BR/>Jerry Brown will be running for governor again. He was in office prior to the two-term limit. Jerry doesn't take crap from anyone. I'm seriously thinking of running on a secession platform and not allowing Pelosi back in the state.Stella by Starlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385761338190877425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12597943.post-20182814231289296982008-08-04T23:18:00.000-05:002008-08-04T23:18:00.000-05:00Thanks, Wizard.

Their extremely one sided compromise (favoring the Dems and allowing very, very limited drilling) has now received Barack Obama's support.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601070&sid=aPzPz.br6VbU&refer=home" REL="nofollow">Obama Open to Offshore Drilling as Part of Senate `Compromise' </A><BR/><BR/>Gridlocking the Republicans in not how you "win" it's how how we "lose."Bob Kellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18171655256407149176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12597943.post-80056543592137932522008-08-02T11:21:00.000-05:002008-08-02T11:21:00.000-05:00"stood up to you guys"urban pink First, and most i...<I><B>"stood up to you guys"</B></I><BR/><BR/><B>urban pink</B> First, and most importantly, Thank you so much for stopping by and adding to this discussion.<BR/><BR/>No, I'm a Democrat, but one who actually prefers solutions to our very real problems over partisan bickering, stonewalling and gridlock.<BR/><BR/>What do most of us Democrats want? First we want significant funding into the research and development of alternative evergy solutions. <BR/><BR/>Second, we want rapid and significant reduction of the use of carbon based fuels including greatly increased CAFE standards for fuel economy. <BR/><BR/>Third, we want to put American's to work and support American industry. We're not to fond of shipping jobs and money overseas.<BR/><BR/>Fourth we want any drilling and oil recovery done in an extremely environmentally safe manner. We want extraordinarily strong regulation, inspection and control to protect our environment.<BR/><BR/>Finally, we do have to care about the poorest among us, people whose lives are literally being destroyed by the high fuel costs.<BR/><BR/>Nancy Pelosi didn't stand up against the Republicans. Far from it. She betrayed every Democrat. She could have gotten every single item on our wish list.... without exception. Every environemental protection. Every research dollar. Full funding by increased taxes on the oil companies. Alternative research. Everything.<BR/><BR/>The Republicans were and are ready to compromise. Yes, so increased drilling rights would be part of the compromise. But they actually are necessary if we want to stop exporting our dollars and our jobs overseas.<BR/><BR/>Pelosi is an idiot. You can't name in her entire term one single thing she has delivered.<BR/><BR/>I'm a Democrat. I just want a new Speaker of the House.Bob Kellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18171655256407149176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12597943.post-9931126182965921622008-08-01T23:14:00.000-05:002008-08-01T23:14:00.000-05:00Wow, I see you're a Republican.

I'm not familiar with the Republican solutions for our energy crisis, but I'm of the opinion that they can't do much about it without either 1) reducing fuel taxes and thus leaving our roads and bridges without repair funds (not cool if you think about Minneapolis recently) 2) Giving our tax dollars to oil companies to subsidize our gas prices, huh?! 3) we could open up U.S. drilling, and thereby sell OUR oil to the highest bidder in the world (this would probably be China).Pink Libertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556606553132406807noreply@blogger.com
