Breaking: House approves drilling in ANWR (Update: Senate to filibuster?)
posted at 3:47 pm on May 25, 2006 by Allahpundit
225-201. Still looking for the roll, but it was probably party line. One more reason why staying home in November is not an option.
Update: Reuters reports. 10 billion barrels of oil — but what about the caribou??
Update: Here’s the roll. Not totally party-line — about 30 reps from each side crossed the aisle — but close enough.
Update: The Anchorage Daily News says it’ll die in the Senate because Republicans don’t have the votes to break a Democratic filibuster. If so, that’ll make a tasty talking point for November about how supposedly serious our lefty friends are about energy independence.

Average Americans are being bullied with this and other issues. They/we are being manipulated through doublespeak and indoctrinated through saturation coverage of progressive causes.

Like what Prager says about conservative elites, “It’s yes to whatever the polite society says.” And, then they just fold.

My comment on Lisa Murcowsky disappeared. Guess calling someone what they really are runs afoul of Hot Gas’ pc filter.
Didn’t use bad language so you can guess what I said. The GoP is no longer my party. They dismissed a good man in Mr. Miller for this turd.

Murky looks like she is devolving into a reptile.
Decoski on March 28, 2013 at 4:00 PM
I’m going to count it. Congratulations to cmsinaz, who defied conventional wisdom by picking Murky over the handful of Democratic holdouts as the next SSM domino to fall in our pool!

Dang it! I was sure that Kirk would be next. Bummer.

Since 40 States have already had this debate and the butt punchers and the muff munchers lost, lets just hope next election they evolve as well.

I’d rather have the toaster and drop it in a tub.

All in good time, my pretty. All in good time.

And to think we were that close to replacing her with Joe Miller.

Re-read Lisa Murkycowski’s position and she has parenting bassackwards! Lisa, as someone noted above, you are the parent and should instill values in your sons, consistent with your upbringing! In as much as you are now an effen U.S. Senator, we know those values continue to evolve! You are a pathetic creature and should have a serious conversation with your confessor and beg the Lord for forgiveness!

The GOP will betray you

Yeah, children are so wise, let’s put them in Congress to decide how many “freebies” should be handed out.
Children are notoriously unable to understand why there are rules for society, so just let them run wild like the silly weeds they are.

Agree
There is a big lie floating across the land, to manipulate the public.
You may be able to evolve your morals, if they were never fixed, but you cannot evolve a belief in a fixed and eternal God. Believers are not going to deny their Faith.
Ever since Obama ran his staged and scripted ‘evolution’ speech before his gay fundraising swing, ‘evolve’ is the new lie.
These same liars, these phonies cannot evolve to hear the heartbeat of a child in the womb
People are being told they have no right to their own understanding of their own religions
I put this into another thread:

Murkowski’s views are evolving on the basis of her children’s responses?…lol. What an a~hole.
DevilsPrinciple on March 28, 2013 at 10:24 PM
The epitome of cynical opportunist.
AshleyTKing on March 29, 2013 at 12:25 AM
Correct, agreed.

Another example of “Profiles in Courage” and “Core Values”. Was just wondering, if transvestites marry, is it a same sex “marriage” or not?
olesparkie on March 29, 2013 at 8:34 AM
The value system of these dirtbags is pure runny mush.
rplat on March 29, 2013 at 9:47 AM
These “evolving” politicians make me sick. All they are, are cowards, afraid to profess and defend their values and the values of their constituents. They sacrifice the Republic and the values that founded this country, for mere votes. Shallow, despicable, RINO’s, all of them.

“evolving” v. a device politicians use to outwardly change their views so as to pander to the electorate.
sadatoni on March 29, 2013 at 6:21 PM
Something Profound which results in an EXTREMELY NEGATIVE change in her Impulse needs to happen to her.
