Allard makes me look stupid
No sooner had I penned a post about Colorado Republican Senator Wayne Allard's feebly emerging environmentalism than we get this from The Rocky Mountain News. Allard is so obsessed with drilling Alaska that he is willing to risk our troops' safety to do it. Senate Republicans tacked an ANWR drilling proposal onto a defense appropriations bill, daring moderates and liberals to vote against funding for the men and women serving in Iraq.
Fortunately Colorado Democrat Senator Ken Salazar and others were able to block the drilling provision and send the defense bill back to commitee, where they can strike the ANWR provision.
Republicans love to wave the flag and then stab our servicemen in the back. That must be why veterans like Bill Winter and Joe Rice are running for office in 2006.

I constantly write emails to Senator Allard expressing my disagreement on any number of issues, from voting for torture to the destruction of Colorado ranches and ground water for coal bed methane drilling. He always writes me back with his diametrically opposite viewpoint. Colorado deserves better...
