Environmentalists cheer as DeWine defies Bush

WASHINGTON - Ohio

Some of those people in the Senate such as DeWine and Dasshole do more damage than the Taliban. It is about time that those enviromentalist are exposed for what they really are. Communist/Socialist!

[gaspar]

This is the most inept Senate since Reconstruction. And, by the time it is through, it will likely have done more damage to America than the carpetbaggers.

[DB]

I hope Republicans do ads with film from ANWR. It looks like a moonscape. When people see what it really is, they will wonder what the environazis are screaming about. The Senators that voted against it will look like idiots especially after a long hot summer of high fuel prices.

[Piquaboy]

It does not take too long watching the senate on c-span to see how inept they are.

[jwalsh07]

Senator DeWine said he was persuaded to take the unusual step of thwarting the President of his party because he thinks the risks of drilling in fragile wilderness outweigh the benefits

Not a good way to start the day, reading quotes from "republicans" spouting unadulterated horsecrap.

[IronJack]

Let me take a quick guess who the others were:

Snowe (ME)
Jeffords (VT)
McCain (AZ)
Chafee (RI)
Specter (PA)
Collins (ME)
and a traitor to be named later.

How'd I do?

[hchutch]

Smith of New Hampshire.

I hope Sununu wins that primary, I really do.

[capt. norm]

Hey I.J., maybe we need to make a list of the usual suspects. These names come up again and again.

(I'm trying to retain my breakfast while I visualize that stupid McCain "cameras are one me" smile)

I had the displeasure of working at a tv station (few years back) when he did one of his little "McCain Pageants" and his handlers were everywhere making sure the producer and the director would get everything just right. To top it off, the newsperson (PC label) was grilled as to what questions would be asked and those that were "unacceptable" could not be asked.

There isn't supposed to be a "ruling class" in this country. But McCain seems convinced that there is and he's one of the biggies.

Yeah, oddly enough, Snowe, Collins, Chafee, Jeffords, and Specter were the five turncoats who sided with the Democrats during the impeachment vote. McCain is just a babbling fool in RINO clothing, and this New Hampshire jerk must have smoked some of the same treason weed Jeffords did.

Time to fire them all.

You are on to something. It would go a long, long way towards vanquishing a lot of the old stereotypes of the GOP/"evil right wing" if we would simply expose the Dem lies on nat'l TV. Go direct to the public with majo commercial buys. This is more important than any other message we could state, because it redefines the position of all debates.

Start with the pictures of bunnies and moose in alpine valleys the networks always show, and state, "Many people want to protect this part of ANWR from drilling. We at the GOP do, too. That's why we have NEVER advocated drilling there." Switch to the shot of the actual mudflats. "We only want to drill here." Shift to the same mudflats in winter under a blanket of snow. "And only in winter when it is frozen. Thus no roads and no environmental impact. The Democrat and the media know this, yet they continue to mislead you by showing pictures from 100 miles to the South. Why do they lie to you? If they are lying about this, what else are they lying to you about?"

[Pharmer]

Spector voted for ANWR. Believe it or not

[galt-jw]

why should this surprise? the gop is about as tactically proficient as a regiment of spastic apes. not to mention the stellar performance of lott and the nonleadership.

"Some of those people in the Senate such as DeWine and Dasshole do more damage than the Taliban."

DaWhiner and Dasshole are the American Taliban. They are traitors in our midst, working to destroy our country from within and set up their totalitarian "Utopia"...just like the Taliban did in Afghanistan. And we all know what a paradise THAT place is.

[ex-snook]

Bush became an empty suit after he was rolled by Sharon.

[cake_crumb]

"Spector voted for ANWR. Believe it or not"

Really???

I'll believe it, only because public opinion in PA has been turning rather RANKLY against the SPEK-tooooor of late. The only time he does something which looks vaguely intelligent is then the voters turn on him. He's a world-class RINO jerk.

I hope Republicans do ads with film from ANWR. It looks like a moonscape. When people see what it really is, they will wonder what the environazis are screaming about. The Senators that voted against it will look like idiots especially after a long hot summer of high fuel prices.

I'm pretty sure that it would be a violation of a dozen or more federal laws if someone were to set up a webcam up there... Then again, if the rig was battery-powered, recharged with photovoltaics and uplinked via satellite antenna, the greenies would have to applaud. Right? :-)

[IronJack]

Spector is at least slightly less a turncoat than the rest of that crew, but he can't be trusted any farther than you could throw Hillary Clinton.
