Maybe now something will be done on ANWAR. Liberals can not stand jokes against themselves.

The first step would be to get liberal Democrats to acknowledge that they don’t know squat about free market economics.
Contrary to Democrats’ talking points, the answer to each and every problem is not more regulation and more taxation and more government control over the economic activities of Americans. Usually, the correct answer is less government… not more.

Chief: Liberalism is its own joke! Any jokes about them are thus redundant!

Neiman. I agree, but they take themselves too seriously and one way to “crack the nut” (no pun intended) is by humor--in this case, directed at them.

Sorry, guys, but the dems aren’t the only skunks on the Anwar debacle. From 2001 to 2006, the GOP had a majority in congress and controlled the White House. No proposal to drill in Anwar ever made it to first base.
What is it about Anwar that makes it impossible to get anything done there?

pparets,
I believe ANWR drilling bills made it to the Senate and then died of filibuster during that time frame.

RGraves: Interesting. One wonders why there weren’t enough votes to envoke cloture?

pparets,
RINO’s.

60 votes to invoke cloture.
There were not enough Republicans to push it through. Democrats and a few idiot RINOs are against drilling in the ANWR wasteland.
