Of course Harris is for drilling in someone else's State

IIRC, both senators from Alaska are in favor of drilling in ANWR.

You can find hypocrisy with every politician. I like winning elections and getting most of what I want rather than losing them and getting nothing. To demand that Harris adopt a position that is akin to political suicide is just absurd. The only folks who seem to support kamikaze politics are the radical lefties who now control the Dem party (thank goodness!) and the third-party types who frequent FR.

I'd much rather be pragmatic and have power and influence than be an unappeasable and be powerless and impotent. At least with the latter, I suppose, you can show up here, whine about the lack of idealism, and feel superior.

Looking at the current state of DC I could care less if I was getting scraps. The whole system is corrupt and getting worse by the day.

And in your misguided mindset I don't feel superior, I look at my two kids and realize the kind of government they are going to get.

Unfortunately sometimes it takes a Jimmy Carter to wake the people up. So go ahead and get your scraps, it's a good thing our founding fathers never thought like you and embraced idealism rather than moderation.
