flanders, by mr. white house's reckoning neither of you should be talking with this issue because it is not for a senator. >> i think it is sheer hypocrisy for him to take this position after being such a strong anti-fossil fuel advocate and then in his own backyard where it counts the most he is crickets on this whole subject. he is taking money from the proponents of this. over 100,000 of this from the opponents who want to see this bill, they silenced him where he otherwise has been outspoken about this subject. here in rhode island where you think it would count the most for him we don't hear anything from him. he gives us excuses about it is a chokepoint. what does that mean? be consistent, don't be a hypocrite. being consistent about your positions and in your own backyard in rhode island, i think people expected him to take a stand on this. i have come out against it. for her site specific reasons this is not a good place. you have a very environmental place there, it is a tourism mecca for peo
