With the Queen-Bee deciding that the energy situation is not really that bad and that her "Top Advisors" were packed and ready for vacation, Nancy Pelosi closed down the House of Representatives to start their FIVE WEEK vacation...
Pelosi and her gang decided that they would not allow any discussion or a "Up & Down" vote on the issue of drilling for more known oil reserves off the coasts of the United States...
"Although this Democrat majority just adjourned for the Democrat 5-week vacation, House Republicans are continuing to fight on the House floor. Although the lights, mics and C-SPAN cameras have been turned off, House Republicans are on the floor speaking to the taxpayers in the gallery who, not surprisingly, agree with Republican energy proposals."
"The Capitol Police are now trying to kick reporters out of the press gallery above the floor, meaning we can't watch the Republicans anymore. But Minority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) is now in the gallery talking to reporters, so the cops have held off for a minute. Clearly, Democrats don't want Republicans getting any press for this episode. GOP leaders are trying to find other Republicans to rotate in for Blunt so reporters aren't kicked out"
In a breakdown of top energy issues, you'll find the GOP is in favor of more options for energy than the Democrats.
