I wonder how the eight Republican Senators who voted to strip the Anwar Ammendment from the Budget Bill feel about it now. The resolution to strip it out was introduced by Nancy Pelosi and was voted for by the following Republicans: Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe, both of Maine; Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island; Gordon Smith of Oregon; Mike DeWine of Ohio; Peter Fitzgerald of Illinois; John McCain of Arizona, and Norm Coleman, ashamedly from my home State of Minnesota. It passed 52-48.
Whereas I will vote for Coleman again, I will lose no opportunity to embarrass him in State and local caucuses for this foolish abberation.
I'm surprised to see Pete Fitzgerald did something that stupid.
