Bush and the Republicans in congress tried to pass drilling in ANWR.
“ANWR Exploration
House Republicans: 91% Supported
House Democrats: 86% Opposed
etc etc etc”
Republicans only had a 51 to 50 majority in the Senate. that is not control of the Senate. To pass anything in the Senate you need a 60% super majority to end fillibusters by the pary in the MINORITY (the Democrats then).]
You like Micheal Savage repeat the lies of the liberal media like “that the Republicans controlled the Senate” and blame the Republicans for everything. you therefore help the Marxists/Democrats achieve real control over the Senate , a super majority of Democrats.
If you look at the actual votes you see that Republicans vote at close to 90% for more drilling, for lower taxes, for less government , against Amnesty, against McCain-Feingold.And the Democrats are the exact opposite of the Republicans voting at close to 90% for every Marxist bill.
“ANWR Exploration
House Republicans: 91% Supported
House Democrats: 86% Opposed
etc etc etc”
Wasn't one of the current candidates for President, a Republican who along with 13 other Senators, including a number of Republicans, responsible for making sure that neither party would have to go back to the old rule on filibusters?
If a Senator or group of Senators want to filibuster something they should be required to stand on their feet for hours and hours, day in and day out, stopping all other business. Then and only then will cloture votes be able to happen.
But both parties, especially since the age of televised congressional sessions, don't want to be as seen as obstructionist by the public they so often fool.
Like I said my friend, in "my" opinion, Republican/Democrat, a pox on both their houses.
George Washington warned us quite specifically about making allegiances with political parties. All the reasons he stated in his plea to get us not to do so are coming true in spades.
Nothing personal, as we all have the right and responsibility to make our own choices and I don't diminish anyone else's choices, but I am done supporting candidates that are "not as bad as the other".
