1. You are kidding me?!!! That means one thing...

they're running scared! Notice this is the day AFTER the election? They were waiting to see what happened yesterday. Chickenshit Chickenhawks!

I'm GLAD this has happened, but their excuse is BULLSHIT.

2. Big slap in the face to

the White House. Their political capital is running a deficit too.

4. Eisenhower set this land aside never to be developed commercially

because of its uniqueness and beauty. We have little such land left.

Nor is there any guarantee any substantial oil will be found.

A look at the CNN poll shows 96% of our citizens don't think the government is doing enough to make us less dependent on oil.

I'd say the GOP got a real slap in the face as to reality yesterday.
