Vacation Time

So I was listing to the radio today and the news was that Nancy Pelosi voted to recess congress. It seams the she recess the house so that the republicans can't force a vote on the energy crisis
Now I find this telling. The subject comes up and Pelosi can not avoid it like she has been doing, because it is growing across the country the idea or felling that domestic drilling need to be done, and more people even in her state of California.
So she has said lately that she is trying to save the planet. That is finding but I thought that she was elected to do the will of her electric. I thought the term was public servant. Now she has had some justification in being again drilling because California is against but they are changing their mind, so shouldn't she. Or don’t the people no longer matter once the elected office reaches high enough office?
I think that it is showing the elitist view that Washington has, and this goes for both sides of the isles.
The republicans are jumping on this because it is becoming a defining issue and they have less to lose. So their pushing has not as much clot as it should, but at least they are doing something.
Democrats want us to be greener, regardless of the consequences, so they are not going to do anything to put more oil in the market, and I agree that oil is not the long term, but we need it now because we are so depended on it. Unless you want to see our economy completely collapses.
This may be what they want, thinking that it could be rebuild in their vision.
Of course to rebuild us after a crash it would take the kind of hard work they wouldn't know how to inspire, but I digress.
So any what this should the democratic line, we wont fight about an issue, if we can't ignore it we will run from it?
This is why I can't vote for a democrat, even if I may agree with them at a local level; the national party squashes anything that is not the main line. Which I could not disagree with them more.
Case in point, Joe Lieberman, voted 98% of the time with the party but for the war, because of this they primaries him out, to get ride of him.
Think about that next time you have to fill up; the democrats needed their vacation more than they need to deal with the energy issue, or that it is more important to look good in front of the rest of the world, or maybe look the same as the rest of the world than to deal with the situation.
