    More from IBD

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi opposes lifting the moratorium on drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and on the Outer Continental Shelf. She won't even allow it to come to a vote.

    With $4 gas having massively shifted public opinion in favor of domestic production, she wants to protect her Democratic members from having to cast an anti-drilling election-year vote.

    Moreover, given the public mood, she might even lose. This cannot be permitted. Why? Because as she explained to Politico: "I'm trying to save the planet; I'm trying to save the planet."

    A lovely sentiment. But has Pelosi actually thought through the moratorium's actual effects on the planet?

    You can read the rest here.

    Purely political, the Dems don't want to have their last vote on the record to be against doing anything that might increase domestic oil production. She should be ashamed.

    It's the Dems that are actually Big Oil's best friends.

    Unbelievable!!! We have to make change happen. I would love to see people cross party lines and elect an entirely new Congress this year. That should send a clear message that Americans are sick and tired of having their opinions not count.

    Sad and pathetic...Obama changing his tune on drilling.
    http://www.fox5vegas.com/politics/17068226/detail.html
    So the House led by a Dem Pelossi, adjourns to avoid the issue, the Dem candidate now changes his stance because....ta da!....most Americans want it. What ********.
    McCain at least sticks with his position on the Iraq war even if it isn't the popular one. He has some backbone. But the jellyfish....no real position, just whatever it takes to get elected.
