I can't believe Akaka voted for the oil drilling in Alaska. What up?

7. The guy represents his constituency first and foremost
So he hasn't sacrificed you for something else if you don't live in Hawaii.

8. I'm not holding a grudge against Akaka and Inouye
They are some of the best members of the senate and are almost always on the right side of the issues. It just happens that in this case, they are on the wrong side.
