Comment on Congress: Lead (not likely) or get out of the way. by Sharon Staehs

I call Nancy Pelosi’s office daily now. I ask her if she is proud to be leader of a congress that has the lowest approval rate in the history of this country, I ask her if she even cares that her grandchildren will not grow up in the same great America that she was priveledged to. I ask her if she is proud to be leader of the congress that has perpetuated such sharply rising gas and food prices that if allowed to continue will bring this country to its knees. I ask her if she is proud to be the leader of a congress that has done absolutly nothing notable since she took charge. I’d like to know where she learned her leadership skills as I’m not seeing much leadership I see mostly alot of people doing nothing but standing in the way of what the people of this country want. I tell her I will never give her the respect of calling her Madam Speaker because she does not speak for me or anyone I know for that matter, I tell her she is not smarter than me or any one I know. I ask her if her ideas are so great why won’t she put them to an up or down vote on the floor of the House. I want to know how much longer she will thwart the will of the people and continue to obstruct any responsible energy legislation. Of coarse she gives me no answers to these questions because as I said she does’nt speak for me or to me, she only speaks to and for the far left wing of her own party and thier anti American agenda, I figure thats where her money comes from so I know she can’t/won’t hear me. I hope the people see and hear her for what she is and show her the same lesson they showed Tom Daschel.

I agree 100%. I have said all along that we should fire most if not all of our conressman (congresswoman) and senators. We need to move forward not just stand in place as we have for over 15 years. If we have learned anything from our parents (I am a baby boomer) it was to try soemthing not just stand there and hope that it will fix itself. My father a “Liberal Democrate” told me when I was a teenager, the goverment will be a bunch of money takers and not workers so if you want something do it yourself and fire them all>

Paul, if this kind of speech were coming from ANY presidential candidate, I’d vote for that person! Why can’t our politicians see what’s going on as clearly as you have articulated???

We CAN straighten out this so-called energy crisis, and we can do it in a timely, effective, and responsible manner. We are, indeed, more than capable as a nation.

There’s one thing I may differ with you about. I’m not sure the first step should be for Congress to get out of the way, but rather that we the people demand that our elected representatives do what WE are asking them to do, rather than cowtow to the special interest groups and lobbyists. I think the first step in an effective plan of action would be to eliminate all the noise and enticements coming from these areas so that Congress can even hear the voice of the people they pretend to serve.

As usual, your presentation of the true perspective of a situation is outstanding.
Thank you for expressing thoughts on important subjects with such inspired logic.

Mr. G,
You called it right on the money! GW lifted the executive ban on offshore drilling and oil dropped six dollars.

Dear Paul, I am constantly amazed at your ability to see the picture so clearly. How you made the connection between Moses and our right to use our earth is brilliant.

My wife and I really like your commentaries regarding the issues around gas prices and drilling. Count us in the number of people who agree with you and would like to see the govt. talk less and do more about drilling

“We Baby Boomers, safely ensconced in the comfort provided by our parents”

Sir, perhaps your parents set you up with a trust fund or something similar but many of us who have “made it” did it on our own. Good day to you sir.

Sure enough, Senator John Warner, he of that “greatest generation,” today said we should again look at the 55mph speed limit. He’s worried about climate change too.

If Washington isn’t throwing us in the tank on purpose, one sure couldn’t tell from the results.

Let the markets work, and DRILL !

I completly agree with you Paul. Baby Boomers are still looking thru the haze of thier anti-establishment platitudes of thier so called glory days, much the same as old athletes retell thier stories in bars over and over again. The problem now is the greatest generation isn’t out there to overlook them and continue on. The greater problem is now we have these eco-terrorists and anti-everything that would be good for this country beatnics in charge of our government. The majority of this country agrees we can and should claim our natural resources, but because of the “anti-crowd”, a very small group I might add, that has been able to get this country into a choke hold of idiotic regulation that enables characters like Harry Reed and Nancy Pelosi to blatantly, arogantly, and dangerously thwart the will of the people of this great nation. We all have to stand together with ond very loud voice to make it understood circumstances have come to the near fruition of what the “anti-crowd” wanted to create. When you regulate to do nothing with everything eventually what you have runs out, and poor, uneducated, non-mobile people with nothing to defend themselves, are easy to control. The ‘anti-crowd did thier job very well and it’s time for those of us who see clearly to get rid of this anti- establishmentaryism of the Purple Haze generation and get this country back to the positve, of which there is plenty.
