Do you seriously think that having such a hard line on that subject will go over in a national election?

It's a litmus test.

Not a straw pole with a bunch of cow tippers.

Hey, speaking as an Iowan first and a Rhode Islander second I resent that remark. You have no idea how hard it is to actually tip a cow.

If Bachman made a statement like that i would at least respect her a bit since she has a VAGINA.

Seeing that word all in CAPS makes me think it would look good on the side of a ship.

And who needs the EPA. I love my mercury and PCB's they never hurt anyone. I am always looking at more ways to add just a little more smog on those hot as a bastard days when they issue health warnings to the old and people with breathing problems. But hey, if it makes corporations more profitable it must be a good idea. Lower their taxes, relax environmental protections, maybe we can have air like beijing.

On the environment, and im just thinking on fisherman's terms. Lets take away regulations on pesticides so farms can be more profitable. The runoff heads to the Chesapeake and screws up the water more than it is now. Even lower spawning success of our beloved stripers. That would equal more time on S-B in the political forum, a place a rarely visit.

Yes, corporations have a great track record of what's in the interest of the general population. Let them police themselves, hey shouldn't they more than anyone know what pollution looks like?

As for the EPA, let the states do it. With all these rivers, aquifers, wind currents crossing their borders etc... they're ideally positioned to regulate pollution, most of which I'D NOTE THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE!
