Pelosi: At-risk Dems back drilling

Pelosi: At-risk Dems back drilling - Martin Kady II and Patrick O'Connor - Politico.com


Quote:
California Democrat Nancy Pelosi may be trying to save the planet — but the rank and file in her party increasingly are just trying to save their political hides when it comes to gas prices as Republicans apply more and more rhetorical muscle.

But what looks like intraparty tension on the surface is part of an intentional strategy in which Pelosi takes the heat on energy policy, while behind the scenes she’s encouraging vulnerable Democrats to express their independence if it helps them politically, according to Democratic aides on and off Capitol Hill.
So, basically, lie if it suites you politically. I get it.

She didn't have much time to put any thought into the energy crisis. She's been working hard on her book and needed to get away to start promoting it.

Re: Pelosi: At-risk Dems back drilling

If Americans were smart enough, they'd realize who they should be putting pressure on: The Fed. They should also be putting pressure on Congress to cut spending and rally the dollar.

After all, the real issue is the dollar as the vehicle for oil transactions and how far is has fallen in 7 years. Europe was cheap back then. Thanks GOP for your massive fiscal reckless.

But Americans are idiots and will fall for any idiotic argument that sounds simple and doesn't require thinking.
