GOP EPA Mendacity

Hey, presidential candidate and almost lifelike human simulacrum Mitt Romney has some lies to tell about the Environmental Protection Agency:





Of course, the reality of the job-killing EPA trope is bullshit. The critics of environmental regulation aren't interested in creating well-paying jobs, they're simply trying to squash any alternatives to the fossil fuel industry.

Tighter regulations would force innovations in the renewable fuel sector and in the efficiency of our appliances and conveyances. The fossil fuel extractors really aren't engaged in grand, sweeping innovations- they just refine techniques that date back to the 19th Century. In addition, environmental remediation would result in the creation of many jobs which can't be outsourced. Meanwhile, other nations will leave the U.S. in the dust in the alternative energy field. It's way past time that we do something to end our dependence on fossil fuels- it's been a problem for decades. Deregulation and a "more of the same" approach to our energy production will hasten the seemingly inevitable decline of 'Murka. As much as I am disappointed in President Obama's approach to governing, if a GOPer wins the 2012 election, things will be much worse.

VOTE GOP 2012: building a bridge to the 19th Century (uh, without the plentiful resources to exploit, that is).

It seems to me that many of these multi-millionairs are just living for today and eff the future.
If this God fearing man, who believes this earth was created to be a paradise for us, isn't willing to REALLY care for it.. then to me, he's just another fucked up, selfish a-hole that only cares for $$$'s.

Sorry God. I guess you're going to have to eventually perform another damn miracle and save us from our stupid, stupid selves cause apparently, those prophets you installed in Utah ain't getting your messages anymore!

There's huge money in the fossil fuel industry.

Those people have tight control over our government's energy policy, just as the M.I.C. controls our foreign policy.

My blood pressure would be in better shape if I believed the repugs gave 2 shits about jobs instead of preserving the aristocracy.
