November08,2006"pombo lost!" mood: happy
hurrah! Check it out!
reason why i'm so glad he lost:
"The Sierra Club and other environmental groups targeted him [Pombo] as an "eco-thug" who once proposed selling off some national parks, led the drive to open Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling, wants to let states drill for oil and gas off their coasts, and has pushed to revamp the Endangered Species Act to provide more rights for property owners.
'We're thrilled,' said Roger Schlickeisen, president of Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund, which made Pombo its top target in the congressional races. 'Not only was he a vote against the environment, but as committee chair he could push his agenda.'"
it's hard to believe that such people exist.
