In one of the most immature things the dems have done, Speaker Nancy and other house Dems, turned off the lights and microphones when house Republicans were discussing oil prices and an energy plan. However house Reps with everything turned off still kept talking:
"Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and the Democrats adjourned the House, turned off the lights and killed the microphones, but Republicans are still on the floor talking gas prices.Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) and other GOP leaders opposed the motion to adjourn the House, arguing that Pelosi's refusal to schedule a vote allowing offshore drilling is hurting the American economy. They have refused to leave the floor after the adjournment motion passed at 11:23 a.m., and they are busy bashing Pelosi and her fellow Democrats for leaving town for the August recess.
At one point, the lights went off in the House and the microphones were turned off in the chamber, meaning Republicans were talking in the dark. But as Rep. John Shadegg (R-Ariz..) was speaking, the lights went back on and the microphones were turned on shortly afterward.
But C-SPAN, which has no control over the cameras in the chamber, has stopped broadcasting the House floor, meaning no one was witnessing this except the assembled Republicans, their aides, and one Democrat, Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-Ohio), who has now left."
Finally the Republicans are starting to show some backbone. I am not surprise that house Democrats were trying to silence Republicans on this issue. That just tells me that Democrats are for high gas prices. After all the worse the economy the more Dems can blame this on President Bush and get their messiah elected. Even though the economy took a turn for the worse when the Dems took control of congress.
