A Letter to Nancy Pelosi
Guest Column | By Raymond Kraft | August 14, 2008
Dear Ms. Nancy Pelosi,
T. Boone Pickens says we're spending $700 billion a year to import oil, about the same as the entire cost of the Iraq war, every year. But the Nancy Pelosi Congress obstructs drilling for American oil and goes on vacation, doing nothing about it for another five weeks while Nancy Pelosi goes on a book tour.
At $50,000 a job, that $700 billion means 14,000,000 American jobs are being exported to OPEC and other countries we're buying oil from. If we produced all our own oil, that would mean $700 billion a year re-invested in the U.S., a pretty good stimulus package, and 14 million more American jobs for Americans.
That's enough new jobs to slash our unemployment rate to zero, slash our trade deficit to zero, and eliminate the strategic threat of oil embargos from OPEC, Iran, or Russia.
We aren't "addicted to oil," we're "addicted to energy," just as we're "addicted" to food and water. Without food, we die. Without water, we die. Food and water are energy for people. Oil is energy for transportation and industry. Without energy, economies die. If you want to use less coal and oil, then why don't you support nuclear power with zero CO2 emissions?
Why did Bill Clinton and Al Gore and John Kerry collude to shut down the Integral Fast Reactor project in 1993 (Argonne National Laboratory, led by physicist Charles Tell Ph.D.), that would have produced 100 times as much nuclear energy from a pound of uranium as the old reactors do, and by reprocessing spent fuel, would have produced no high level nuclear "waste?" Why don't you ask Bill, Al, and John, and let us know?
When you took office as Speaker you promised to have a National Energy Policy in 100 days. Well, it's been almost two years, and what do we have?
A national "no-energy non-policy." Why is the Nancy Pelosi Congress stuck on stupid?

As to Speaker of the house Pelosi; being ignorant, being uninformed, being ugly these can all be changed, however, being stupid is one thing that can be changed. My heart goes to the ones that have elected her. These voters have an opportunity to change to VOTE for person/s that have love for American and do not pander to the scum of the earth.
Being stupid, there is no surgery for that is available, even the “smart Pills” are not available. So sorry Nancy!
Artice by Nancy Pelosi:
“Pelosi admits democrats not yet united”
For any group, organization, association to unite has to have a STRONG LEADER” and I do not see that in pelosi’s democraps.
Nancy, Nancy take care of your country FIRST, why not get to work for the VOTERS you work for and not run out and scratch on past scars. Oh, you want to bring strife in other countries that are our allies.
Readers, Do not fall for radicals using “Their Rules” rule # 5; Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. Obama knows them, after he uses #5 very often. (Words just Words), rule #13: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it.
Palin is the target today. Tomorrow its going to be you or a rightious person they do not agree with. Lets pick one for him to ridicule, Frank, my father, FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS.
BYE,
Pelosi needs her ego stroked constantly. She’s power hungry, doesn’t really care about this great country and cares more about HER personal gain. She knows nothing about leadership, and will never unite the democratic party. Her policies on energy change daily so what message is the mighty gavel bearing speaker sending regarding energy policy in the party? Frankly, I’m tired of hearing about her let alone looking at her evil possessed face. It will be a great day when NP is finally ousted out of any position of the parties leadership group.
Lets get an early start in getting “anybody but nancy” elected when her term ends.
Also start a “Follow the money” on her son’s lobbying for organizations that she votes for and gets hugh donations to her “bank” include land deals such a Obama got and also Dirty Harry Reid and his land deals that netted him millions on questionable land dealings.
I believe Pelosi, Harry Reid, Biden, Schumer,Rangel,should be investigated for their leftist leanings, their only intrest is their pocket book and they care very little about What use to be a great party: Democrats.
Now they have served and promised that witin one hudred days they were going to do this and that and all they have done is hurt PROGRESS in Amerca.

An if it didn’t snow in the Sierras you wouldn’t make a living by putting on tire chains for the Bay Area Snow Birds. Get a grip you clown. Pelosi is a Boone T. Pickens of a different color.
Now, ask why hasn’t the Energy policy of Dick Cheney ever been made public, let alone that the Courts have made it into a ‘National Security’ issue and as such ‘Classified’. Let alone your putting Da Arnold into the Grubinators Office…
When Bustimonti had a slam dunk case on Kenny Boy Lay’s Enron scam where ALL Californians would have gotten back some of His rip off. An remember how G.W. loved him until his conviction and subsequent faked heart attack death.
Pelosi is Jew Garbage protecting her hubbies Investment Banking Interests over protecting America.
Now go back to tending your Dope cash crop.
