It seems like everywhere I go, people are talking about how Our Leader is raping the environment. They point to websites like the "The Bush Record" and the "Big Book of Bush" which detail how our leader is undoing decades of environmental progress. Even some industry publications have published articles calling Our Leader's policies into question. Last Fall, for instance, Alexander's Gas and Oil Connections posted one such piece on its website. Here's an excerpt:
The Bush administration has been gutting key sections of the Clean Water and Clean Air acts, laws that have traditionally had bipartisan support and have done more to protect the health of Americans than any other environmental legislation.
It has crippled the Superfund program, which is charged with cleaning up millions of pounds of toxic industrial wastes such as arsenic, lead, mercury and vinyl chloride in more than 1,000 neighbourhoods in 48 states. It has sought to cut the EPA's enforcement division by nearly one-fifth, to its lowest level on record; fines assessed for environmental violations dropped by nearly two-thirds in the administration's first two years; and criminal prosecutions -- the government's weapon of last resort against the worst polluters -- are down by nearly one-third.
Such attacks are completely unjustified. Our Leader is doing a lot of good things to our environment. Rather than letting it lie wild and useless, he's making it productive and profitable. Where wetlands once stood, he's putting in industry. He's turning forests into houses and wild rivers into lakes with valuable beachfront property.
Go to the environment photo section of the Bush/Cheney 2004 campaign website to see the real story about Our Leader's environmental accomplishments. You'll see pictures like these:
