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.

“They have this thing that says drill offshore in the protected areas,” Pelosi said. “We can do that. We can have a vote on that.”

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.

...and maybe windfall profits taxes.

Let the Republicons have their vote. Nancy will take the money.

Taxes.

Taxes fund spending.

Spending creates prosperity.

Prosperity is a good thing.

Drilling.

More drilling creates more jobs for Americans.

More jobs equals more income.

More income creates prosperity for the individual.

Anything which provides enough rope for the Republicons to hang themselves is OK with me.

We saw how well a windfall profits tax worked uinder Pres Peanut. The price at the pump went up, and oil exploration and production went down

Exxon paid over $30 billion in taxes in the second quarter of 2008 - why is that not enough for you and the Dems?
