Thread: Pelosi indicates openness to offshore drilling vote

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday night dropped her staunch opposition to a vote on offshore oil drilling in the House.

Republicans, reacting to high gas prices, have demanded a vote on additional oil exploration in the Outer Continental Shelf, where drilling is currently blocked by a moratorium. Until now, Pelosi (D-Calif.) has resisted the idea as a “hoax.” But in an interview on CNN’s Larry King Live, she indicated that she was open to a vote.

She indicated such a vote would have to be part of a larger package that included other policies, like releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which she said could bring down prices in a matter of days.
“But it has to be part of something that says we want to bring immediate relief to the public and is not just a hoax on them,” Pelosi continued.

Looks like Pelosi lost another one.

That was just a way for her to avoid answering the question. What she really wants is no drilling. She is in the pocket of the greenies, that is she is owned, and if she caves on this, Sheehan is in the wings to take her place, if she allows a vote to go forward it would surely pass, and her green masters would drop her like she's hot and vote for an even bigger idiot. And if there is a vote it will be in some form that the Republicans would not vote for it. And that is the America with liberals in charge. Economy and freedom be damned.
