Senate Fails in Bid To Block Bush Mercury Plan

I'm stunned. President Bush wants to cut mercury emissions by 70% by 2018 - a worthy and sensible goal - anyone remember Minamata Bay, Japan? It's the same scheme that is used to cut acid rain pollution. Why did Congress veto this? Two words: Special Interest! Read:

Bravo, Mr. President. Take the lead on this legislation, damn the Special Interest and make an Exectuive Order to cut mercury emissions. And who says W ain't a friend of the environment?

Trust me the liberal environmentalists will find a way to say that Bush wants to cut mercury emissions in order to increase the output of oil in the Everglades or something as ridiculous as that. He can't win when it comes to the left!

Did you read the sentence where I said that W needs to make this an Exec Order? Obviously not.

Great find.
Too bad it doesn't matter when people like cold p have so much hate, it blinds them from seeing anything positive.

These folk won't be happy until they lower us to a 3rd world level.
Then we'll all be "equal".

Sheehs!

The Democrats won't be protecting the environment any more than the Republicans. Both parties are beholden to huge corporations.

Buddy - W loves trees - especially what you can make out of them! And boo - frickin - hoo! We are the most regulated country on the planet! Ain't nothing we gonna do comes close to the crap the EU, Russia, and China toss into rivers, oceans, wells, land and air. If you want to cry about your Mother-Earth - go protest in Beijing or Moscow - Tree Hugger! And if you really all broke-up over your Mother-Earth go to Brazil and try to get them people to stop cutting trees!
