STEVENS carries alot of weight ........he will make the Democrats pay a VERY HEAVY PRICE

It seems no one is made to pay in this Senate. The junior Senator from Alaska, even with this contentious issue hanging out there, voted against the Patriot Act.

Stevens' impassioned speech in favor of ANWR included his remarks to the other side of the aisle re the fact that he had never turned down any of THEM when they had come to him for help. (He's got a long list of I.O.U.s but they don't want to pay.)

Kerry asserted it - that Stevens said he would pull ANWR if that was the difference in funding DoD. While Kerry is a known prevaricator, Stevens didn't speak on that point to refute it.

Maybe he did this to get their vote on ANWR.

What ticks me off is that the Senate was able to get the vote through on ANWR earlier this year with Landrieu and a few others voting with the Repubs.

Now, it is stuck in Cloture again.

Even if Every Republic votes for Clouter, it still is not enough. How about People hold the DEMOCRATS accountable? They are orgnaizing and leading the fillibusters.

I hope Stevens has a L-O-N-G memory. He needs to make everyone who votes against this pay through the nose. Not one dime to the states of those who vote NO.

Landreau has the Katrina money attached to this, if she votes no, the people of LA will lynch her from the nearest tree.

The choice is vote for cloture or no Christmas recess?

That's because Bill Frist never exercised the constitutional option to overcome the Obstruction Party.

Can Frist use the nuclear option on this? Not that he actually would...

Yes, I know...but what's he going to do to his fellow Republican Alaskan Senator? Instead she is getting the fight on drilling while slapping the administration on the Patriot Act.
