It is being reported over at The Politico that the every House GOP leader “…has signed a letter today calling on Speaker Nancy Pelosi to open a special session of the House to deal with the oil price crisis.”
It is also being reported that the House GOP leadership has been in negotiations with pro-drilling Dems to get Congress back in session so they can vote on drilling legislation.
Negotiation is only possible because Nancy Pelosi loosened the leash on many House Dems this week, secretly (or not so secretly if we all know) that House Dems from pro-drilling districts can vote for drilling legislation in a staged vote when Congress re-convenes in Sept. If it passes, Pelosi undoubtedly has a deal with Senate Majority leader Harry Reid to block the legislation.
Finally, it is being reported that MoveOn.org has “upped the ante” by announcing yesterday it was launching radio ads targeting Republicans for organizing the protest.
The political theatrics in the House this week are brought to you by the Party that’s been sold to Big Oil,” said Noah T. Winer, a Campaign Director at MoveOn. “They are playing politics instead of offering solutions. Their plan and their actions over the last few days on the floor of the House of Representatives are nothing more than gimmicks.
The radio ads will air in the districts of Republican Reps. Blunt, Pence, Fallin, Culberson, Conaway and Porter. All safe districts by my calculation.
