The Jewish Dems (lots more) voted against drilling, The Jewish R voted for drilling. It was largely a party line vote. You really keep track of all the Senators by religion? I'm curious why you'd do that.

Fitzgerald is a R by the way.

No I don't. It came up during ANWR because of Lieberman's filibuster threat. I can't understand why any Jew would not want us to be less dependent on Saudi and Iraqi oil. Lieberman, Boxer, Schumer and Feingold could easily overcome the rest of the Democrats who were against it. Play the Israel card and it would be a done deal.

Who are the Jewish members of Congress ,R or D, who fight the whacko environmentalists? They should get more attention.

Btw...if one was inclined to play the sewer politics liberals do, the make-up of the US Senate is a perfect target. Blacks make up around 14% of the population voted 91% for Gore and have zero representation in the body while Jews voted 80% for Gore and have several representatives...doesn't seem "fair" does it? The most loyal Democrats around get dissed...sounds racist to me.
