Skullduggery Part the Second
Boehner calls the bastards on it:
My message to Democratic lawmakers is this: if you’re really for increased American energy production, then prove it by putting it in writing. Sign the discharge petitions House Republicans are circulating that will force votes on energy legislation Speaker Pelosi refuses to bring to the floor. And sign onto the American Energy Act, our ‘all of the above’ plan to increase conservation, innovation, and American energy production, instead of doing the Speaker’s bidding by voting against bringing it to a vote. If you aren’t willing to put it in writing, you’re fooling no one. You’re siding with the Speaker of the Drill-Nothing Congress and radical special interests that favor higher gas prices, at the expense of energy-strapped American families.
This cynical strategy is disgustingly dishonest. Without any real solutions to help Americans who are struggling with record-high gas prices, it appears the Democratic leadership has hit on a new plan: deceive. Deceive the press, deceive its members, and deceive the American people.
Well, he did get one bit wrong; actually, two: the ‘rats aren’t deceiving the press, they’re counting on their cooperation, now as always. And there’s nothing new about their “deception” plan, either; they’ve been working that one for years now, in far more circumstances than just the current one. Good on Boehner for this move, though. Now let’s see how the worms turn.
