And, HURRY UP!!!!!
ANWR drilling is a can't win for D's. Even the Unions want this one, badly.
Right! By having our OWN oil supply on this continent
we'd alleviate a lot of propaganda about our going into
Iraq for control of the oil. There are Dems out
there that still believe that was the motive for
deposing Hussein! Their minds always get stuck in
that 1970's track..."Follow the money"!
Anyone know the policy of unions towards the social security private accounts.......?
Spud in and lets turn to the right.
Message to Dims: If we're willing to do this for ANWR, we'll sure as heck do it for judicial appointments, if you force us.
Thank you, senate republicans! This action is part of why we the people gave you a senate majority. Good work. Now, on to your next task, which represents the greatest reason we gave you the majority: end filibusters on judicial nominees! I thank you in advance for expediting this task quickly.
Cordially.
A name that has to be on the must-go target list come next election, even for this vote alone. Anybody know when he's up for reelection? Also, could we list the other nine, so their names can get out there? They all need to be on the s -hit list.
Depends on the union. In CA, the unions are in full battle headfeathers and elbow pads about Arnold messing with CALPERS and threatening to replace it with the equivalent of 401K's.
The Teachers, BART, State Employees, Firefighters, Police, and every other union in CA is against it.
It's a similar initiative to the President's, so . . .
The PR problem with the President's initiative on SS is that everyone remembers how they did managing their own 401K's in the 90's. They left their chestnuts in too long and they got burned.
The administration isn't doing a very good job educating people on why his plan will return a better rate than SS will in the same amount of time, in my opinion.
Wow, this is great. Now the President can get on with his energy plan that's been needed for 30 years now. This news could even have a positive short term effect on prices. Kennedy must be having a few drinks by now or even getting his fix.
Awesome. Shove it, John Kerry.
We covered this in one of my classes, "Environmental Issues in Politics" (a bullsh*t class, wouldnt recommend it, duh!), and even the enviro-libby professor couldn't defend those against drilling.
Most of Alaska supports it. Most everyone who opposes it need not worry about it because its thousands of miles away from where they live. They are irrelevant. The biggest argument they can come up with is the caribou migratory patterns would get messed up. It's a ridiculous argument.
