No votes are being cast and C-SPAN's cameras aren't turned on, but Congress' August recess hasn't stopped more than 100 House Republicans from appearing on the House floor during the past two weeks to demand a vote on expanding domestic oil drilling.

WASHINGTON — No votes are being cast and C-SPAN's cameras aren't turned on, but Congress' August recess hasn't stopped more than 100 House Republicans from appearing on the House floor during the past two weeks to demand a vote on expanding domestic oil drilling.

Lifting a ban on offshore drilling has become the marquee campaign issue for the Republicans, even though the oil industry estimates that opening the nation's coastal waters to drilling is unlikely to provide more oil for at least seven to 10 years.

The Republicans said they are holding the mock legislative sessions on behalf of constituents who can't understand why Congress is taking a five-week summer vacation with important items to be resolved.

2. lol !.. Those clowns are STILL there? I guess they're afraid to

go back to their home districts. They clearly work for the oil companies.. and NOT for the folks back home...

Maybe their families are breathing a sigh of relief this summer.
