C-Span, the network of congressional coverage, wants everyone to know that the GOP revolt on the House floor - Republicans don't want to go home until they are allowed a vote on offshore oil drilling, even though the House has adjourned - is not their fault.
C-Span has just issued this statement: ';A number of media organizations have incorrectly referred to 'C-SPAN cameras' being turned off and not providing televised coverage of the GOP House members' post-adjournment protest on energy policy being held on the House floor on Friday afternoon. Please note that cameras in the House chamber are under the control of the Speaker of the House and that all media organizations, including C-SPAN, wishing to cover events in the chamber must use the official House TV feed. No private media cameras are permitted in the House (or Senate) chambers.';

Why does the speaker of the house have control over C-Spans cameras?
This is the ';first female speaker of the house'; in action?
If this is what we get with women in charge, THANK GOD we didn't elect Hillary!
The democrats SHOW ONCE AGAIN how little they REALLY care about helping America. ALL they want is more political power, and they don't care who they hurt to keep it.
If they took that vote and prices went down.. it would be a ';republican victory';... and they rather see you ';dumb po folk'; choosing between gas and food than to allow the Republicans to ';look good';.
SICKENING! Vote them ALL out!!!!
Single digit approval rating..... GEE I wonder why.Why does the speaker of the house have control over C-Spans cameras?

The Speaker controls the cameras because when C Span first wanted cameras in the House, they had to agree to this condition. I agree it's not really fair, but if C Span hadn't agreed to that, they never would have been allowed in in the first place, back in the 80s.
Hitler has been reeincarnated in the form of Nancy Pelosi, she would not even allow an up or down vote on a straightforward plan to lift moratoriums on drilling offshore, which would help all americans by creating jobs and lowering oil prices.
Sadly the people that elect her are so liberal they dont care about real people either just imaginary environmental problems.
If the speaker had any dignity the cameras would be on.
It's the new transparency that was promised when the Dems took over Congress in the last election.
Wouldn't surprise me.
They're scared.
The Speaker of the House runs the show, that's why.
Someone must. Who do you propose?
