The Crypt: House Republicans go back on the floor Monday to talk gas prices - Politico.com


Good. .

And Nancy along with her hinchmen ride it out trying to hookwink the people.
She thinks we do not realize what they are up too.
We need to hold their feet to the fire instead of letting play political games one more day!

Yeah, I suppose all 10 Republicans will show up tomorrow. DUH! Is the GOP dumb or what? [don't answer since it is obvious

There are more than ten and they are rotating in. Many Republicans have flown back to their state for prior commitments and will be returning Thursday or Friday. I called the offices of several to show my support and they have been getting bombarded with calls. Pelosi's office has stopped answering the phone. I guess they were tired of being criticized. You can also call the office of the POTUS and ask that Bush convene a special session. Call 202-456-1111 to ask Bush to support the Republican House members and call a special session.

Contacting the White House

When House GOP members go back on the floor, there'll be more GAS coming out of DC then we've seen in ages.

Break out the hot air balloons boys, we've got a free source to fill'em up.

I don't think those Republicans will stay much longer since Nancy had the restrooms locked up today. Also these GOP congress people are getting nervous since hearing that President Bush is thinking about joining them is looking forward to long photo sessions. That will clear out the capitol building faster than anything & Nancy can go back & unlock the restrooms.

Years of ineffective legislating finally catching up...The GOP's posturing adds another sad chapter to many as they attempt to affect the elections in the fall with this half-hearted attempt at "caring" about issues that affect the US citizens.

After 30 years in Power, here we are - Massive debt, record deficits, and another Energy Crisis....yeah I know, I know - Blame it on Jimmy Carter.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Real consumer spending fell in June for the first time since February as the windfall of cash from Washington was eaten up by the worst inflation in 27 years, the Commerce Department reported Monday. Nominal spending rose 0.6%, but the increase was all due to higher prices, which rose 0.8% during the month, the most in 27 years. Real spending (which is adjusted for inflation) fell 0.2% in June. Real disposable incomes fell 2.6% in June after a 5.2% gain in May. Inflation surged in June. The personal consumption expenditure price index rose 0.8% in June compared with May and is up 4.1% in the past year, the largest year-over-year inflation in 17 years.
