No House Republicans joined the Democrats in their vacation vote.

GOP.gov put out the following statement:

Rep. Adam Putnam (R-FL), Chairman of the House Republican Conference, issued the following statement shortly after the House of Representatives voted 213-212 – with no Republicans voting in the affirmative – to adjourn for five weeks in August and September without taking action to lower gas prices and break our dependence on foreign oil:

“The Democratic Congress should be held in contempt for voting to skip town without dealing with America’s energy crisis.

“Democrats are out of touch, out of excuses, out of support and out of time. Americans are hurting. Independent polls show they overwhelmingly support House Republicans’ all-of-the-above energy solutions.

“It’s time Democrats put their boarding passes back in their pockets and get to work by voting on the American Energy Act.”

The NRCC released a video on the do-nothing Democrats and their refusal to address the energy crisis facing Americans, via HotAir:

Speaker Pelosi is not only on the wrong side of the issue with Americans, but even a majority of Californians are now in favor of offshore drilling.
To Speaker Pelosi, drilling is still all a hoax.
