22 GOPers Revolt on the ANWR Vote over Drilling

WashPost: "22 House GOPers agreed to strip plans to permit oil drilling in AK's Arctic Natl Wildlife Refuge and in the offshore continental shelf from a $54 billion budget cutting measure. Dems have steadfastly not budged in their refusal to vote for the bill, and at least 22 GOPers told the House leadership they wouldn't vote for the bill unless the drilling provision was removed, & even then, several moderates said they would still oppose the bill, which would allow states to impose new costs on Medicaid recipients, cut funds for student loans, child support enforcement, farm supports, and restrict access to food stamps. Dems & moderates said those measures would save $54 billion over 5 yrs, but those savings would be more than lost if the House moved forward w/ the $70 billion wealthy tax cut extension bill next wk." Could it be? Is sanity back in style? Maybe... & it is pissing the freepers off BIGTIME. Just check out this collection of pissed off freeper quotes as they meltdown over the ANWR revolt. My personal fav?: "80% of Republicans are pussies." Naww... they got the number & the body part all wrong:
99% of Republicans are flaming assholes.
