like it for some reason.

[jseankil]

19. can someone explain this topic? /nm

nm

[rodeodance]

21. he is trying to get rid of royalities paid to oil companies. This was give

n to them during a time of low oil output- but not needed at the moment.

[gasperc]

22. everbody call their state's senator

kick

[DearAbby]

23. Woohoo!

:woohoo: :bounce: Go Go GO!

[rodeodance]

24. Domenici is smacking him!

[Pithy Cherub]

25. Domenici looks like he's a tomato that's about to burst...

:rofl:

Wyden is understanding bold action is what is needed not that third way crap.

[SpiralHawk]

30. Pistol Pete Domenici (R) is a totally bought-and-sold whore for

the energy companies.

He has no moral compass -- only one that points at greasing the skids of the Republicon culture of corruption.

COMPLETELY LACKING IN HONOR

[rodeodance]

32. i thought he looked absolutely stupid today.

[0007]

27. Fucking go baby go!

[depakid]

28. Wyden's been on this issue since the mid 90's

when BP and others were manipulating the West Cost petroleum markets. And then like now- there were hearings, but nothing much was done- a few paltry fines as I recall (far less than what was made).

[rodeodance]

29. Wyden has left the floor defeated. He will not get an up/down vote.

[depakid]

31. Par for the course

He never got much support from Clinton's FERC, either. (Norm should I add- did California during the so called "energy crises").

The Oil companies' tenticles run broad and deep.
