BUSH IGNORES HIS OWN PROMISES ON WETLANDS

Last week, President Bush said he is working to "restore, improve and protect at least 3 million wetland acres over the next five years."<1> But according to a new report released today, the Bush administration has actually done the reverse by using a key court ruling to encourage a severe degradation of wetlands throughout the country.

As the Washington Post reports, the Bush administration "has allowed developers to drain thousands of acres of wetlands under a policy adopted last year." The study, which documents the administration policy, was conducted by four nonpartisan environmental watchdog groups and based on documents acquired through the Freedom of Information Act. It found that the Bush administration's interpretation of a 2001 Supreme Court decision has ensured that developers are allowed to run roughshod over previous efforts to protect fragile wetlands.<2>

1. There's a new meme for the Kerry campaign................

I might flip-flop and change my position every now and then, but at least I won't lie to you right to your face.

This diabolical crew are masters at pulling the old bait and switch. You can bet if they tell you one thing, they're going to do the direct opposite.

3. Unbelievable

If this clown ever entertained the idea that he could be elected for another term, he should have learned to keep his stupid yap shut. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. This accelerating rate of self-destruction is amazing to watch. He doesn't have a clue as to what he has or hasn't done for the last 3 1/2 years.
