Do you want your grandchildren to grow up in a Republican world? What would such a world be like. Leaving the political aspects aside, I will not cover what elections where only “approved” voters could vote, and where electronic safeguards prevented a revolt at the polls by the approved voters, might be like. Physically, the mean temperature of a Republican world will be higher. Corporations would be free to spew pollutants until your grandchildren choked on the air they had to breathe and gagged on the water they had to drink. Republicans are fighting to build that world right now.
With eight days until the country officially defaults on its debts, likely sparking a worldwide credit crisis, the House of Representatives is busy with legislation aimed at repealing environmental regulations and stymieing conservation efforts.
The Interior and Environmental Protection Agency spending bill for fiscal year 2012 contains policy riders added by panel Republicans to thwart White House-backed initiatives on everything from the EPA’s regulation of greenhouse gas emissions to conservation efforts in the Grand Canyon. It would halt new regulations on mountaintop removal mining and prevent the Fish and Wildlife Service from listing new species under the Endangered Species Act… [emphasis added]

If your grandchildren deserve better, keep Republicans out of power permanently.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
If the Republicans spark a “worldwide” crisis, they might want to be scared of what might happen to them if it’s one of their beloved mega-corporations that gets hurt! 😈
True, but different discussion.
This smacks of behind-the-scenes machinations by the wholly evil and self-centered greedy Koch brothers, who would love ALL federal regulation to disappear overnight. These bastard polluters MUST be stopped!
Exactly right, Jack!
I wonder where they are going to live when the whole world is polluted – I hear Antartica is nice this time of year.
Not surprising the kind of people Repubicans attract, but I found this particularly interesting:

Thanks Nameless. The more I learn about this guy, the more TEA I see.
Oh, so he’s a republican and a terrorist – what a surprise! 🙄
Sounds more and more like Myanmar and the old Soviet Union, doesn’t it?
Good observation, and that is their goal.
It’s almost like a sci-fi movie where we are all slaves for the rich bastards and the pollution is spewing. The rich of course, wear gas masks. We have to choke on the thick air.
It would be a good subject for one.
Soylant Green any one ?
Dang! Lunch DID taste funny! 🙁
prediction : some day there will be a war between the rich and poor and it seems to start now.
Welcome Jack. 🙂
Be careful what you predict. The rich can afford the GOP SS, aka Blackwater/Xe, to mow us down in mass.
Fortunately, there are more of us than them! You can hide in your gated communities from mobs of pissed off people. We’ll just invade and destroy your golf course. 😉
