Davis has been loud and harsh against the FERC and Bush. It was only that
pressure that forced the FERC to reconsider its earlier "no problem here"
rulings. California Dem leaders had launched a series of lawsuits against
the energy companies that dug up much of the information that forced the FERC to
change its rhetoric and rulings.</FONT></DIV>

<AP888@LAFN.ORG><BR>>Nathan:<BR>>Silly story quoted, since it ignores
the Dems killing ANWR drilling,<BR>>filibustering Estrada, and slashing
Bush's tax cut in the budget vote.<BR><BR>-But not enough slashing. Domestic
programs will still be affected<BR>-and this is the second time Bush has
been conceded a tax cut. A true<BR>-opposition party should have completely
stopped it.<BR><BR>He hasn't been "conceded" anything-- the Dem leadership
fought the first tax<BR>cut but did not have the majority of votes to block
it. Once they got the<BR>majority with Jeffords, they blocked Bush's second
big corporate tax cut of<BR>December 2001-- passed the House and died
completely in the Senate. Folks<BR>can't seem to remember that because of
their ideological blinders.<BR><BR>The $350 billion number was the best that
people could get-- the! GOP has the<BR>majority so the moderate Republicans
like Lincoln Chafee got to set the<BR>number they were willing to live
with.<BR><BR>As for spending, the Dems have blocked a lot of Bush's proposed
block grants<BR>and blocked the more serious cuts in programs proposed by
Bush.<BR><BR>-- Nathan
