ANWR is currently a useless wide-open space filled with almost nothing. What we need is ANWR left a wide-open space filled with a few very productive oil wells and pumping stations.
So, what's your option? Go along to get along? Wake up.
Turn ANWR over to Alaska by EO. Yes, the congress can only "approve" doing that, but what are the 535 primadonnas gonna do if the prez does it? Impeach him? Not bloody likely!
You have NO IDEA how hard I or anyone else, for that matter, might have worked for a recent Republican governor candidate who just got his a** kicked, so DON'T LECTURE ME about "getting off my butt" and "whining." I don't need to be lectured by the likes of you. You RINOs need to rediscover what the base of the Republican Party is, or you are dooming yourselves to permanent minority party status - which seems to be where you're most comfortable.
So, after tearing up, polluting, developing, chopping down, drilling everyplace else--that's all we have left to preserve, and they want to take that too.
Well too bad.
It's like a little kid when their mother tells them here's a handful of cookies, and that's all you get until tonight after dinner, so make them last--
And the kid gobbles them down anyway, then goes crying to mother he's out of cookies.
Well, too bad.
I would be glad to leave ANWR alone, if we can find millions of good crude in another area? How about your back yard? Are you willing to switch your land for ANWR?
I can't believe that Republicans were responsible for taking ANWR out of the recent House bill. These legislators are listed by name on www.freerepublic.com and I must say I am pleased to see your name not mentioned as one of the RINOS (Republicans In Name Only). We finally got a republican majority in the House, Senate, and control of the White House and now we act like we are in the minority. There was a reason we wanted total control, to finally get sensible legislation passed. That means not foolishly wasting taxpayer money on things like the Alaska "bridge-to-no-where". Enacting permanent tax cuts, securing our borders, getting judges on the bench that interpret laws-not enact them. Your republican friends better wake up soon. ps. keep up the good work you are doing.
Foley and Stevens are for anwr drilling. Foley was just against the florida drilling.
Foley was one of Delay's best friends. He is a good conservative and so is Stevens. Carter told stevens that if he wanted anwr he could have it anytime in congress. It was a lie. Stevens is the best supporter of anwr.
Foley and Stevens just have their names as being members of the group. Maybe they like the social gatherings. But they are not really involved in the group's policy like the shays, bass, snowe, chafee, collins types are.
Couldn't find anything about ANWR on his site
http://www.house.gov/foley/
I did find this: "Mark has worked to ban drilling off the coast of Florida" Probably didn't like ANWR either.
With the money that oil companies would pay and the jobs they'd bring? Where do I sign?
only one southron in the bunch.....from Louisiana
Old news. Thread below has links to Republican Main Street organizations (there is more than one organization, the splt being useful for plausible deniability purposes).

You are too willing.
Well, if you put it that way, I'd swap my SUV for a bicycle first.
See what an incentive it is to conserve when it's not someone else's land--but one's own--being messed with?
I KNEW Isaakson would be trouble from the moment he won the primary.
I hope he is still one of Tom Delay's best friends. Mark Foley votes with us about 85% of the time considering he has to represent the Palm Beach County Creeps. His main Office is in Palm Beach Gardens.
Look again.... the senator from Georgia.
You sir assume WAY too much about a person and his beliefs who you don't even know. Beat your straw man elsewhere. What you have shown me is the kind of behavior from someone who would be the last person I'd want in a foxhole when times got tough. The "likes of me" thinks better of you. Thanks for fighting the good fight. Sorry you're a** kicked.
Staying home isn't enough. If you want a RINO out badly enough you'll vote for the Dem, however bad the Dem is, and get rid of him/her/it later. Only a Democrat has a chance of beating a RINO and staying home, or voting third party, is just a half measure.
I guess the point is, it's not my land. If Alaska were against it, I'd pay more attention.
And when ANWR runs out, where will you drill next?
Where will you drill when there is no oil left?
We'll have to stop acting like oil is limitless sooner or later.
How long do you want to postpone the inevitable?
The longer you wait, the worst it will be.
If there's oil in ANWR, leave it there.
At the very least it would be there for us in the event of a genuine national emergency--a war or something.
Instead so many spoiled people who have exhibited no self control, want to continue feeding their appetite for cheap oil by sucking up every bit of it in sight.
