Government Fail: The Planet

(Proudly cross-posted at Clintonistas for Obama)

I think we all know by now how horrible George W. Bush's environmental record has been. He's denied the climate crisis, pushed millions of acres of protected public land to be opened to private developers, and called for reckless oil drilling off our coast. Basically, this President has been a complete disaster for our planet. He's failed to be a good steward of our natural resources, and our children will soon pay the price of these Bush failures if we don't act now to reverse them.

So do you know what can make our current crisis worse? As bad as Bush is, there's someone who will only worsen our environmental problems... If we let him.

John McCain wants us to believe he's a "Friend of the Earth". He's green washed his web site. He's fine tuning his "green message" to sway voters. He's doing everything he can to convince us he's the real "green" candidate.

However, all we need to do is his record to see for ourselves that McCain is no friend of our planet. McCain always manages to say the right thing, but his actions are something completely different. He's really no different from George W. Bush in his laissez-faire attitude when it comes to requiring big polluters to clean up their act.

Oh yes, and here's an inconvenient truth about McCain that he doesn't want us to know. He may sound "green", but that's all talk. The only green he actually cares about is the "green $$$$" the oil companies are giving him.

Come on, now! Haven't we had enough of Bush doing nothing to solve the climate crisis while doing everything to allow big oil & big developers to ruin our natural resources? Now why the heck would we want more of the same ignoring our planet in peril? Why do we want another President who ignores us to placate his Big Oil bosses?

We need real change. We can't allow our government to continue to fail on protecting our planet for future generations. Let's make sure we have a President who will end the "epic government fail".

Let's support someone who will clean up this epic fail for a change. :-)

CG, as a Marxist Canadian, you are incapable of understanding that the path to a cleaner environment goes through the free market and de-regulation.

More fluff from atdleft.  

atd - You need to start writing about important things, like I do.

;-)

Cheers buddy!

I'm such an EPIC FAIL! Why can't I write more about  the important issues, like hurting trolls' feelings or the new AOL online poll showing McCain up 100000000000000000% or the new media-generated "Clinton scandal"? How dare I mention actual serious stuff like policy! :-D

Re: I know... (none / 0)

atd -  See, that's the basic mistake with your approach.  

If you ever want to reach the top of the rec list, you should follow this advice: Include lots of references to teasing small furry creatures.  Always a crowd pleaser.  

Take it from me.

Re: Government Fail: The Planet (2.00 / 3)

We need a White House that upholds environmental laws, and supports states rights when it comes to protecting the environment.

The state of California is having to sue the Federal government so that we can set better air quality standards for our state. What a waste of time, money, and our precious environment.

Great first installment! (2.00 / 3)

Wow, I'd better work harder on my NCLB piece if I want to come anywhere near this!

Re: Government Fail: The Planet (2.00 / 1)

But the planet punches back far harder. Climate change initially involves terrifying volatility as all that water vapor wants to resolve. Hurricanes, crazy super cell tornado storms, droughts in Texas and fires from hell rise in the chapperal biomes of California.

Two more fat hurricanes are now waddling west from the African formation zone. Here in New England we see unprecedented thunderstorm rains.
