You find more republicans and I will find many more democrats if you want..........

be as snide as you want.....but, the VAST majority of democrats are the ones who time and time again vote agains anwr, or drilling of any oil here in the states, against nuclear plants, against new oil refineries.............

those EIGHT are NOT true reps of the repub party  ... including McCain.... they have sold out against their party on other issues as welll......

"those EIGHT are NOT true reps of the repub party  ... including McCain.... they have sold out against their party on other issues as welll......"

why is it that people who dont blindly tow a party line are not "true"?
If all a politician has to do is tow the line, we could just train a few hundred monkies to go to Washington and do the job for Congress...

Henry, do you know this to be true or are you just blowing smoke? Can you give us an instance where EACH of the republicans listed above have sold out?

no link provided.....but, these guys, particulary Snow, Chaffee and MCCAIN..impraticular....HAVE went against "the republican" trend on issues or they have NOT been a solid vote to count on.....

so, as far as you are concerned I am blowing smoke... ...but, I know what i know on these guys........and, Im not saying they are bad people...cause like Gyrphon stated......towing the party line is not always a good thing............

if you are going to define party affiliation based on a survey of the one question you pose, then any label is pointless.

why are so many martians against anwr?  (you know they are martians because they are against anwr)

[awol]

Just curious...are a majority of the Republicans for this drilling?

yep.

quit getting so philisophical with my question.........ya know the jest I'm getting at..........democrats, in general have opposed any american drilling, nuke plants, and refineries....the very things that the repubs have been wanting done for years now........and we would not be in the mess that we are in now with 4 dollar a gallon gas.

[awol]

now that's just silly.

[Henry Hawk]

now that's just silly.

i don't think it is.............just imagine IF, we would have began drilling in anwr 7 years ago.........like Bush wanted to do..........what if we had built more nuke power plants a few years ago, when the dems would not allow it...............

our dependence on foriegn oil would NOT be as severe.....

not silly at all...

[awol]

and if al gore had been elected (oh, wait.  he was.  if he'd been APPOINTED.  that's it.  but that's for another thread)....

there wouldn't have been a successful attack on 9-11.

we wouldn't be at war.

and there wouldn't be an economic downturn.



and if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle.

you can't say that anwr drilling would have made any difference whatsoever for certain.

[C91]

.and we would not be in the mess that we are in now with 4 dollar a gallon gas.

Doesn't matter how manner barrels we pull from anywhere.  The oil companies will still find an excuse to charge us 4 bucks a gallon for the gasoline refined from it. 

[awol]

got nothin' hank?
