Is McCain opposing ANWR? Last I heard, he was for it.
Where did you hear that?
To my knowledge he's been against it consistently.
Yes, he's opposing ANWR and whining to the press that he dislikes the tactics of Stevens to impose ANWR on him. Even though Stevens merely copied mcCain's moves to get his torture bill added to the Defense Appropriations Bill.
Now Mccain is being forced to either vote down the bill funding the troops that contains his precious rights for terrorists, or vote for a bill supporting Artic Drilling that Soros will not be happy with him about. I'm enjoying McCain's predicament. I wouldn't mind a filibuster that defeated McCain's torture bill, but if it passes, we'll at least get ANWR. Either way Mccain is screwed and I love that after the way he blackmailed the President.
The question now is whether McCain wants his terrorist protections badly enough to bring the RINO's along with him to prevent a filibuster of the bill. It's quite a nice bit of side entertainment.
The last thing I heard, McCain was torqued at Stevens for attaching the ANWR bill to the same defense appropriations bill McCain attached his hideous torture bill (Al-Qaeda Bill Of Rights) to.
McCain has no core beliefs besides believing in himself.
Last I heard, he was NOT for it.....and in agreement with Hillary that this should never be touched because it was "awesome".
