Too bad the Republicans did not control the House and Senate from 1995 to 2007 where if they had they would have without a doubt approved drilling for oil in ANWR.

They did both. President Clinton Vetoed ANWR in 1996. Senate OKs oil drilling in Alaska's ANWR

Part of his reasons at the time was that it would take ten years to produce, so it wasn't worth allowing. Eleven years later, that same stupid argument is still being used.

Don’t forget that 8 RINOs helped to defeat opening ANWR in 2005....led by our hero John McCain
