WASHINGTON — Remember back to September, when Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was a newly minted vice-presidential candidate and she was asked by ABC's Charlie Gibson about drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and her split with her running mate, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
At the time, she told Gibson: "We'll agree to disagree, but I'm gonna keep pushing that, and I think, eventually, we're all gonna come together on that one."
Apparently Palin wasn't persuasive enough. Tuesday, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee shot down Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski's effort to open up ANWR to directional drilling. The sole Republican to vote against the proposal? McCain.

There is no rational reason for not drilling there.

I hate the sight of that miserable worm McCain.
Did he win the primary in Arizona or is that next year?

The ‘rat control of Congress is the real restriction on drilling here and now. I’ve heard that it will be 10 yrs before we get any oil anyway.

John McCain is a sack of horse crap. I donated for the first time in my life to a campaign..only after he chose Sarah. Now this sack of crap votes against drilling, something Sarah has been fighting for for years. I know Sarah will never say a bad thing about McCain because she feels some kind of obligation to him for selecting her..but I wonder in private, when no one is around to tape record her or hear her, what she really thinks of this ass clown

McCain is a jackass. (yea either one)

There is no rational

Congress doing the bidding of its environmentalist masters. This country and its government have been going downhill for the last forty years.
