Not ALL Repubs are EPA-hating, denier cultists

[Dot Com]

THIS GUY, had his eyes opened (left the hive mind) for example.

?I don?t know what the hell party I belong to?: Why this hardcore Republican learned to love the EPA - Salon.com

Rick Halford is Republican to the core. The retired politician served the party in the Alaska state Legislature for 24 years, including stints as Senate president, as well as both Senate and House majority leader. Always, he has stood for free enterprise, individual rights and small business; typically, he’s been pro-development. He started “as a very seriously redneck Republican,” and saw little in his time in office to challenge his views.

But for Halford, there turned out to be one thing worse than a meddling federal government: Pebble Mine, a proposed open-pit copper mine that has the potential to destroy everything that makes his home like no place else on Earth. And in order to stop it, he had turn to the federally funded environmental agency that conservative Republicans like him love to hate.

 

[Mr. H.]

The EPA... it can be your friend, it can be your enemy.

 

[Leweman]

Are all dems just EPA loving, believer cultists then?

 

[Dot Com]

any more want to chime in from the repub-voting hive mind?

 

[Mr. H.]

That goes without saying.

What DC is pointing out is that someone, somewhere, who is an avowed Pub Dupe... loves him some EPA.

 

[Mr. H.]

I know this will be difficult for you, DC... but if you would take pause and remove the twisted politics from your mind long enough to peruse this website:

I'm just suggesting that you do some background work before posting the tirades of a single GOP landowner who's shitting his pants over a proposed open-pit copper mine that has the potential to destroy everything that makes his home like no place else on Earth.

You're such a fucking poser.

 

[Mr. H.]

To which you need reply: "Hey- that's MISTER fucking poser to you, bitch. "

Go on- give it a try. It's worked for me when I've had to eat crow.

That the mine is only proposed at this point has nothing to do with the OP's theme, which wasn't the mine, but was the staunch republican going to the EPA for help.

 

[Stephanie]

We know dots is a hater of all Republicans that's for sure

Al bore gore..the shining example of globull warming who's family got rich from owning a ZINC MINE


man P.T Barnum was right

 

[Crick]

What does that have to do with the OP?

 

[Dot Com]

What does that have to do with the OP?

Don't mind Stephie. she posts in almost all my threads whether or not she has something relevant to say.

As to the OP, a self-described conservative Repub, w/ the resume to prove it, thanks his lucky stars that the Repubs weren't quite able to abolish the EPA last time they were in power.

Has as much to do with the OP as that post.

yep, they can't live their lives without them guberment telling how to wipe and make sure to only use one sheet...even for poo poo...then follow their guidelines when they say, please wash your damn hands after that

 

[Crick]

Perhaps this is a silly question, but Stephanie, had you the power, would you eliminate the EPA? If so, would you put anything in their place? Do you think the government needs to pay any attention to the environment and the harm people do to it?

 

[Dot Com]

Repubs are told that if they abolish agencies such as the EPA, Dept of Labor, The SEC, etc... their lives will be Libertarian utopias where the *cough* "job creators" will regulate themselves EVERY school child knows it aint true though. Give the obscenely wealthy & their water-carriers in Congress an inch, & they'll take a mile.

The EPA... it can be your friend, it can be your enemy.

yes, it can be your enemy if you want to dump chemicals into water. i'm ok with that.

Aren't you considered to be one of those, corporatist?
or you have your own attorneys office?
come on jilly, not so dramatic. Those who are not as superior as you don't believe in destroying our lands and water. We ALSO don't believe in cutting off our noses to spite our LIVELYHOODS.
