2. I nearly fell off my chair when I just heard this. It seems that they are
trying to hold the poorest (let alone our troops) hostage for that frigging pipeline!

11. What does Ted Stevens have on these people?
His bullshit ANWR promise from 2 dead senators, over 25 years ago, shouldn't have the power it seems to have with this bill.

16. AND, Direct Aid to Louisiana, Mississippi for Hurricane Relief
ensuring that those Senators vote Against cloture and For the bill. I am in Louisiana and know how much we need that money, but am NOT for including Anwar, Energy Assistance for the Poor and Hurricane Relief in the Defense bill.

19. They just cut heat to some of their voters
It's shame and I feel for those families even if we didn't agree.

I guess I'll never understand why lessons have to be so difficult. Those who suffer the most? Your families, their health and well being all because you couldn't turn off FOX and Limbaugh. If you had just done a little independent thinking you wouldn't be refused heat.

Soon we'll be a 3rd world country and back to the days of the Depression, before FDR.

It's just fucking sad is all I can say. Sad.
