Sean's favorite line in defense of Republicans and their environment is "Liberals say Republicans want to poison the air, water, and kill children."
Well I want to believe that, I do I want to believe that there isn't a whole political party that advocates something like that. However they do little to shake the stigma in fact they seem to reenforce the image. Are they making a point to prove the nay sayers correct?
Take for example:
Republicans want to Poison the air?: The new 'clean air act' does just that by laxing federal regulations the amount of dangerous chemicals expelled from polluters. Dow and other plants can go unchecked as long as they are "updating" their equipment. Now their are no set dates for cleaner, efficient, safer machines to be installed so Dow chemicals could be "updating" their plants for the next 5 to 15 years spewing cancerogenic particles and other nasty air born "poisons" without breaking any laws and besides without those pollution caps plants cost less to run. Currently the Bush administration is also ignoring climate control data in favor of policy that directly benefits their friends. It's not junk science, it's fact air pollution makes people sick whether it's asthma or a rare form of Lung cancer it's a problem and Bush just made it worst.
So, Yeah they poisoned the air or at least made it easier to do so.
Republicans want to poison the Water?: 20 million (area, in acres) of lakes, wetlands, streams opened to new development under a proposal to end federal over site. By redefining 'impaired' water (polluted but not that polluted) as clean and let the states (which never enforced) dump whatever they want and worry about the discharges. The problem is their overall thought process, you would think they would realize that pollution doesn't stay in the place it's dumped, especially a stream; that carries the toxic materials to lakes, rivers, and aquifers. Even if Bambi isn't your priority and doesn't effect your bottom line; the garbage gets back to you, that would be why MTBE is being phased out because it got into the water supply it's toxic.
So, Yeah they poisoned the Water or at least made it easier to do so.
Republicans want to kill children?: Their policies directly contribute to removing safety rules from our air, water supply making people ill. They would have you believe they are the party of children because they defend the rights of the unborn (unless of course you are running for governor of California, it's not that important). I want to give example of how compassionate Republican are with children. In California the Autism rate has skyrocketed to call it an epidemic is an understatement. The rates can be traced to Thurmosil a Mercury based compound found in many childhood vaccines to preserve the batch. Mercury is a neurotoxin and the combo of vaccines and already poor immune systems can and has triggered autism. Dick Armey a few months back snuck in legislation guarding the manufacturer from impending lawsuits. Leaving these poor children without justice.
So, no they don't want to kill children but crippling them or making perpetually ill is quite alright.
When Sean Hannity mocks Liberals by saying that line remember: It's true, they do want to poison the air, water and kill (or at least cripple) children.
But don't try and tell Sean that , he'll just blame Clinton and America hating Liberals!
