Enlighten Me! :)
Lets see.
1. Pelosi wants no offshore (or onshore for that matter) drilling
2. She also wants to have a windfall tax on oil companies. Which means the government gets more money. HMMMM, I wonder if she really wants the oil prices to come down?
3. Don't worry she has a solution for all us sorry, uneducated (thanks government public schools), poor excuses for human beings. She will give us another government stimulus package. Now the government can make the whole country line up for handouts from the loving, caring, compassionate, educated government.
Sounds like a great plan the government has: Block oil exploration and refineries, when prices go up blame big oil and take money for the government, give some back to the people and pocket the rest.
I wish people would wake up and see it is BIG GOVERNMENT and not big oil that has us in this mess.
Well I'll stop for now, just needed to vent.

Pelosi is a sign of everything that's wrong with this Congress.
The price is not important for people like her, there is no price she can't afford to pay. She and the others probably get their gas free of charge, even in their personal vehicles.
Stop being a bunch of pussies. Jeez, this is Bush's plan! You voted for the jackass. Stop blaming some old Grandmother. Are you telling me she's telling Bush what's what? Pussy ass complaining. Cowboy up, fer Chissakes...
"We learned the hard way that
oil and water do not mix on our coast,"
Except for Mexico, China and Cuba. They do not seem to have a problem drilling off our coasts. Yeah. It's probably Bush's big 'connections' to CNOOC and Petroleos Mexicanos.
No wait, he just lifted the executive ban on offshore drilling. I guess it's time to morph the moonbat conspiracy theory to something else.
Pelosi is a nitwit, the botox has frozen her brain.
The Democrats will allow us to drill when the UN mandates it.
That's called a constituency. As you say, she's rich, so as long as she gets to keep her job in Congress, she'll oppose offshore drilling for the votes. Even though we all suffer for it.
Tim, you are not serious are you?
Bush's plan? Bush, who has tried to get energy reform bills in Congress that the enviro-weenies have killed? Bush, who has lifted the OCS ban (and look how oil prices dropped)?
Look at how oil has skyrocketed since the DEMS took control of Congress.
Pelosi, et al, are all frikking fools.
No, he's right. Just because Pelosi is a total ass doesn't mean Bush isn't. It's Washington in general that's to blame. The Republicans for starting stupid wars and the Democrats for not allowing us to drill oil.
Therein lies the reason that Pelosi (and her Conresss') approval numbers are the lowest of all time. Even lower than that "jackass" Bush.
Just by rescinding the Executive order the price of gas dropped, and they say "We can't drill our way out of this" - the cold, regulatory hole they dug with environmentalists, the grave they want to lay down in and pull Civilization up over their heads and die. That's the undertaker Harry Reid, Death's man on the job in DC...
Let's start a massive boycott of tourism in Cali and Lost Wages. Stay closer to home, don't go giving jobs to people "smart" enough to vote for those unprintables.
Robert M; just what war did the Republicans (and I'm sure you mean GWB) start? I seem top remember 3 out of 4 planes that were flown into 3 different buildings and only for the heroism of some passengers with stones was the last building saved. They gave their lives for ours so to speak. Your other comments on this page seem well thought out, and not just because they happen to agree with mine. Please do not fall into this Bush bashing just 'cause he seems stupid at times also. He has done many things correct even if for the wrong reasons, kinda like a lucky stumbler.
The one in Iraq. As I remember, the attacks were out of Afghanistan.
Furthermore, whether or not it was justified doesn't take away from the way it's been fought; that is to say, poorly. And that's part of why the oil prices are so high.
Robert M.; all of our wars have been fought poorly since Truman let Korea stalemate in 1953. The reason being civilian control of the military by people who have no control over their unbridled egomania, IMHO. Gas prices are high because Red China and India are developing nations who are paying any price set and will pay as much as it cost to get it. Gas prices are high because the congress has refused for 30 years to build refineries or allow offshore drilling, but gas prices are not high because of Bush or the war being fought poorly. I imagine that a lot of leftist in this country who kept shouting "no war for oil" wish now that it really was for the oil. I know I had hoped we would get free oil out of the deal and I still think we should take over all the oil fields now and pay them in wheat. We need the oil, they need the wheat. We could pay them in infastructure, they need that. We could pay them in a lot of ways but no matter what we should take their oil. The world thinks badly of us anyway so why worry about it.
I agree with all of that, except the rejection that one of the contributing factors is the war. I actually found some stats in my textbook last year (of all places) that shows oil prices from 2000 - 2006. The major spike that started all this was in 2003, the same year of the Iraq War.
I think it's the result of a lot of factors, many of which you've listed, but the war is one of them. I supported the war at one time, and even then I thought it was contributing to the oil prices.
Pelosi will be pro-drilling if and when Obama is elected. They want to 'cure' our energy crisis on their watch.
