GOP on Pruitt: "We like his policies but we question his ethics.."

WTH!

He is supposed to be the head of the EPA. That is the Environmental Protection Agency. It's not the EDA. (Environmental Destruction Agency)

But, who is surprised? The GOP supports the destruction of our environment, disguised as protecting the free market's God-given right to pollute or poison whatever and wherever they want, so long as they can get wealthy doing it.

Yeah, they are concerned that Pruitt has to have a security detail bigger than Napoleon's and that everything right down to his desk has to be bullet-proof, and that he have the utmost comfort when he flies somewhere and that he be able to turn on his flashing lights and move the traffic off the road on his way to dinner.

But they are not concerned that he gives big oil companies free reign to pollute wherever they want and is willing to do away with all regulations that protect our air and water. That is no problem for the GOP. And that is the biggest ethical lapse of all.

Isn't that sort of like questioning conservation measures to protect all the blue whales in the Sahara?
