Sen. Landrieu Statement on ANWR Vote

WASHINGTON --- The following is a statement by U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) regarding her vote today to maintain a provision in the federal budget that would open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil exploration.

Sen. Landrieu said:

"For Louisiana and our nation, more domestic oil and gas production is vitally important. We need to be drilling more, not less. We need to be exploring new areas where the minimal environmental impact can be closely guarded, as well as in the Gulf of Mexico, which generates billions of dollars of revenue for our federal government each year. My colleagues and I have been encouraged in recent days that a revenue-sharing measure is forthcoming that will benefit our coastal oil- and gas-producing states. Hopefully, we'll be able to get this done this year, just as we have helped Alaska today."


She can kiss any national aspirations goodbye.

Does she mean that she will get a portion of the 30 pieces of silver?

my bet is that the reTHUGlicans will NEVER carry through with their promised GIANT REVENUE SHARING measure..."forthcoming?" hahahaha



reTHUGlicans DUPED senator landrieu with one of the OLDEST political TRICKS...and she bought it...hook, line, and sinker....


there's not any of that Alaskan OIL that works it's way down to Lousiana....she should have read up on the matter, and refused to be BRIBED with only faux promises....

She will find herself without a Democratic base with a Republican moderate to fight. Good-Bye. This is not a wish to see her defeated, but Chamberlain can tell you, appeasement does not a constituency make.

Dammit! Dammit! Will they squander all that is precious for money?! Is nothing sacred to these people?

We want money!
