Are Republicans really against clean air and clean water? Is there ever too much "dirty"?

After WW2 and the post WW2 years a series of democrat administration left us with everything from the Love Canal chemical slurry to unexploded ordinance to nuclear fallout on the continental U.S. Republicans and conservation clubs including members of the NRA and Ducks Unlimited and corporations that manufactured sporting goods lobbied to clean up waterways and establish rational hunting regulations to preserve endangered species while democrats were selling tickets to nuclear tests.

Regardless of what happened 80 years ago, Republicans are the ones fighting for dirty air and dirty water. Not the Democrats.

I think I've identified your problem. You think somebody is fighting for dirty air and water. No wonder you're so wrong.

When the EPA writes regulations, it's based on study and data. We only want to allow this much parts per million in drinking water or air. Otherwise children could start getting poisoned or cancer.

Republicans say let's repeal regulations protecting clean air and clean water. To what? What does their research say? Just get rid of regulations willy nilly? Because it's good for business?

And the media NEVER, EVER questions them. Even what they call "fake" news.

If their entire reasoning is because it's good for business, then is that good for the country?

Then why is "secret" science so rife within the EPA. Why are regulations being written based on science that is not out there for public examination. If they are worried that if the science and studies were out in the public that someone might find something wrong with them, then of what value, exactly is their science?

If actual science supports the regulations then the regulations are justified...if the science can't hold up, then the regulations are just for the sake of regulations...
