George Bush is an environmental disaster! . . .
Edited on Sat Sep-04-04 01:32 AM by OneBlueSky
While George Bush proclaims his concern for the Environment, he and his advisers are systematically dismantling our century-old bi-partisan tradition of environmental protection."
- Bruce Babbitt

"The environment is probably the single issue on which Republicans in general - and President Bush in particular - are most vulnerable."
- Frank Luntz, GOP pollster

"I do not intend that our natural resources shall be exploited by the few against the interests of the many." --President Theodore Roosevelt


no, it doesn't score high in the polls of issues people are most concerned about . . . but that's only because there are so many competing issues that the media focus on, while neglecting in depth discussion of what BushCo is doing to the environment . . . people DO care about the environment, and Kerry can score BIG by making it a central issue of this campaign . . . Bush doesn't want it to be, and it won't be unless Kerry takes the initiative . . .

I'm not talking about warm fuzzies involving how nice clean air and clean water are . . . I'm talking about BushCo's turning over environmental regulation to polluters and giving away our natural resources to his corporate buddies for private profit . . . the evidence is out there, and it's overwhelming . . . and Bush does NOT want it brought to the public's attention during this campaign! . . . here's why . . .

John Kerry has a very good, if not excellent, record on the environment . . . George Bush's record is abysmal . . . and it's an issue people care about, Democrats and Republicans alike . . . but it's not a central campaign issue, because no one is making it a central campaign issue! . . . let's change that . . . let's take a winning issue, and strangle the sucker with it! . . .

2. What is George Bush not a disaster at?
Perhaps the one thing he is not a disaster at is at ruining other people's lives.

4. Please - Please - Please
We need to push this issue.
GOP has managed to frame the environmental debate to suit their needs.

What they do not want to talk about is that environmental rules and regulations are meant to protect public health!
When they dump the rules they are guaranteeing more sick people, children with birth defects (some are subtle and do not show up for a few years such as learning disabilities).

Look how they handled 9/11 for the workers and residents at Ground Zero - absolute failure!

Wesley Clark understood this.
