I've been there. I've seen it. The caribou will be fine. We need the oil. Not a single soldier's life will be in danger protecting this oil supply.
The proposal has been defeated more times than Carter has pills, but it's back again, believe it or not.

Can someone help me here? How in the Hell are we going to weed out these Republican senators? The Republican party is obviously splintered between RINO's (aka Democrats) and real conservatives.
The Wigs split and the side against slavery offered their first presidential candidate, Abraham Lincoln. Is it time for another split?
There is where House GOP could be smart and negotiate with the immigration bill.
It will take a while to get rid of all of them...some of them, like McCain just got reelected...
McCain went to Alaska with Hillary a while back...but, they didn't check out ANWR, and pronounce it an okay place to drill...oh, no....they went somewhere else, got out their rulers and decided the ice cap had shrunk by an inch or so...
So, they came back and started a campaign on Global Warming....LOL
Utterly incomprehensible and courtesy of the so called gop controlled senate.
Is there an ANWR bill?
Great idea...because the REP Senators against ANWR are the same ones that want amnesty so much..
The problem is, you need a leader like a Tom Delay to think of that...and Frist is a "UNITER"....LOL
These RINO'S keep getting elected! THAT is a sad fact and as long as it is we will get the same result.
Make the illegals build ANWR. Two birds and all that...
Exactly right -
"Some" Republicans but its all Democrats...
See, I see the opposite.
GOP Senators who want lax immigration don't want ANWR open.
There could be a deal, not sure if the price is worth it however.
Thats what we get for making Trent Lott lose his job.
No reason he should have lost that post.
This isn't a good deal.. I'd rather have the border SHUT than have ANWR open...
Pampered milquetoast should be on a menu, not leading the Senate.
I would have to go back and check the votes..
But, I know for SURE that Norm Coleman voted against ANWR, and voted FOR the Senate immigration bill...and I am pretty sure that the Maine twins did as well...
I also think the DeWine voted the same as Norm Coleman...
I remember thinking how surprised I was that so many Senators for the most northern states were against it...since they pay so much for heat up there...
Why would you think that being against ANWR, would make a Senator be also against illegal immigration???
"Can someone help me here? How in the Hell are we going to weed out these Republican senators? "
The President is supposed to weed them out by making their lives miserable for opposing him. Instead he rewards them by campaigning for jerks like Specter and supporting his becoming chairman of the judiciary committee. MAybe he's too busy collaborating with the illegal aliens invading the country to worry about our oil supply? I can't remember the last time I was this disappointed in a "Republican" President. Bush has gone completely off the rails.
LOL...I just reread your post to me, and I think we have confused each other..
I think we are saying the same thing...
I saw the part where you said you were "opposite"...but I believe we are both saying that the GOP Senators that voted against ANWR...voted FOR the amnesty bill just passed in the Senate..
Please, unconfuse me, if I have still gotten your point wrong, okay??? (it doesn't take much to confuse me..lol)
I think a clever Majority Leader could get both...but, alas, we don't have one.
Mary Landrieu (D, LA) and Ben Nelson (D, NE) would probably vote for ANWR but there are enough Dems to filibuster it. Plus some or most of the following Republicans would vote against ANWR -- Gordon Smith (OR), Norm Coleman (MN), Olympia Snowe (ME), Susan Collins (ME), Lincoln Chaffee (RI), John McCain (AZ), Mike De Wine (OH) and Chuck Hagel (NE).
