Legislation promoting U.S. energy independence from Russia has been blocked by House Democrats.
House Republicans introduced the “American Independence from Russian Energy Act” on Feb. 28, a measure meant to authorize the Keystone XL pipeline, boost domestic oil and gas production, and prevent President Joe Biden’s executive branch agencies from halting energy leasing on federal land and water, among other provisions. Yet on March 1, the legislation was shot down in a 221–202 vote, almost entirely along partisan lines.
“Getting our pipelines expanded is huge,” Rep. Bruce Westerman (R-Ark.), ranking member of the House Natural Resources
Democrats declare their treason openly. How are they not compromised if they claim they oppose Russia yet do all they can to fund Russia and weaken U.S. strategic interests?

Well, of course they did. Dems want to crush the American economy, impoverish the American middle class, and are happy to fund Putin's war machine, too.

It was a foregone conclusion that the communist Democrats would vote it down, but it is good to get the slimy Democrats on record with this vote before the midterms.
Trouble is, far too many ignorant voters have fake for the carbon hoax and would support the Nay vote

I wonder why the 30+ Dems who will retire this year went along with this vote. A pay off or just petulance.

Every creature in the world that falls on the left of the political spectrum by whatever title needs to be stripped of their citizenship and have all assets seized.
Then given 2 choices ...
Deportation to the nocturnal emission country of their dreams...
Or
Public execution
Tolerating any creature of any sort on the left is like tolerating cancer. Tolerate these evil creatures at your peril.

What's up with Matt Gaetz? No reason in the world to vote no on the Keystone pipeline.

More fodder for the November elections! This should be in every commercial against the 221 that voted against American oil independence, although 31 of them a probably on the retirement list.

221 to 202. There's only about a five-seat difference the number of demosluts and Republicans in the house. So that means there were some Republicans that voted NOT to go ahead with the Keystone pipeline. I say find these POS's and remove them from office immediately.

The Republicans did this to set up the Demon-Rats. They knew it was doomed to fail, and had no way to get past Nasty Nancy, but now they have it on record for lots of good ads for the midterms.
This concept should have been 100% bipartisan. But Demon-Rats just want power. They have no interest in ever working with Republicans on anything.

The Democrats think wind and solar are going to run the world economy, which means no one leaves the house, everyone should get really big thick coats, plant a garden, and get some chickens, pigs, and milk cow.

As if things weren't already bad in the United States, now our 'leaders' are creating an oil shortage. Anything to save a planet that does not need to be saved.

The commies are deathly afraid - - that some day someone will ask them to provide the data to back up their man-made gullible warming claims.
They've been faking it - - and shucking and jiving - - for forty years - - without anyone putting the question to them. But maybe some Pubbie will eat a crazy mushroom - - and get the idea and the courage to ask them - - to put up or shut up.

By contrast, Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) said Republicans “talk about energy independence, yet … are the ones who have consistently voted against and opposed green and renewable energy here at home, which is the fastest way to achieve real energy independence.” Why, because their green energy doesn't work. No wind, windmills don't work, no sun, solar doesn't work. They can shove their green energy where the sun don't shine. Get it yet dummy.

Biden has painted himself into a corner (again). If he cuts off purchases of Russian oil, gas prices will skyrocket. If he doesn’t, he’ll be seen as not tough enough on Putin. But, not to worry - he said we were ready.

I guess the Dems didn't listen to the President's speech when he said that he would pull out all stops to lower gas prices.

Don't they know that Democrat voters pay the same price for gas as Republicans?

I think the American People will DEMAND that Biden open Gas and Oil. It won't be up to Congress or the Greenies. IF Biden does not HEAR the Demand, HE, along with MANY Democrats in Congress who are up for re-election in November, are going to go DOWN in Flames. Biden will be a Lame Duck and Republicans will open up everything and will further the chances that Trump or DeSantis will be the next President. Nancy will be a Has Been! Democrats who kept Americans in Prison for Jan 6th will be prosecuted and maybe even see Jail time themselves. It's going to Katie bar the door after the Election! Democrats had better listen to the Demands of the VOTERS or they also are going to be a Thing of the Past!!

If it were me I'd tel go to Hand just open it and sell to whoever wants to buy. The government has no business shutting this business down. If you don't want gas buy a tesla.
