Republicans, Did you know?

Question

That-

During Clinton's presidency, he created 119 wildlife sanctuaries.
Bush has created 2 so far. That is roughly 1 for every 60.

Oh yeah, you wouldn't know that because you only listen to fox news. Now... go be a good republican and believe the lies of fox.

Answer 1

As the child of Irish/UK parents I'm not sure if I really understand what goes on in the states, though I do find it fascinating. From over here it appeared that Clinton did at least try and help the ordinary people of America. In contrast Bush only seems interested in his pals in the supreme court and the others in the massive corporations that seem to dominate life over there. Perhaps I got the wrong end of the stick? At least Clinton seemed to use his brain. Bush appears to have a massive hidden agenda affecting the whole world, not just the USA (yes it may come as a surprise but there are other countries other than the USA).

Answer 2

Yes, you are correct about the numbers (and Bush should be doing better in this department), but the interesting thing is that a lot of those "sanctuaries" were ways of protecting the interests of Clinton's contributors.
For example, calling a piece wasteland a sanctuary might not make sense until you realize that it overlies a huge coal reserve which, if tapped, would decrease the cost of coal and therefore hurt a foreign energy producer who gave hansomely to Clinton's campaign.
Similarly, a parcel of national park that was managed by the federal government but used for controlled hunting might seem like a good idea, until an anti-hunting, animal-rights group contributes to your campaign; then it makes sense to declare it a "wildlife sanctuary."
Oh yeah, let's not forget the principal of protecting the property value of your weathy contributors. If a liberal multi-millionare owned a piece of waterfront property, but didn't want a crowded neighborhood, he only needed to give Clinton a nice little check, and he could expect that land around his home would be declared "sanctuaries," thereby preventing future development!
Don't think for a minute that Clinton did ANYTHING for the good of anyone but himself (and occasionally his family or friends, although they always took second place to his well-being). Wildlife sanctuaries, while sometimes truly beneficial to the environment, were often just part of a larger scheme of favors in exchange for cash.

Finally an aside: If you think that liberals like the Clintons, Kennedys, etc really care about the environment, minorities, or the poor, try reading:

Answer 3

Republicans do not care about the environment. Not one bit.

..

Correction, Bush does not care about the environment.

If he did he would have signed onto the Kyoto Treaty that Japan created. Many industrialized countries are participating in the treaty in an effort to reduce greenhouse emissions to try to stop or slow global warming. But that is something Bush does not believe in..

He wouldn't want to hurt his precious oil industry.

He should be brought up on charges of crimes against humanity. The leader of any country should be accountable on an international level.

Answer 4

No matter who we elect, someone will find something wrong with that person. What we need to do is stop enabling people, and start solving the actual causes to our problems. Republicans and Democrats need to drop the labels and work with eachother for the common good. That is what our ancestors did when they drafted the Constitution of the United States of America.

Answer 5

Wow! I'm impressed. He created sanctuaries for wildlife? Does that include Monica's private sanitary,The Oval Office?
You guys crack me up. It's OK he had bin laden in his hands and turned him away. He made a mess in Somalia, The 1st WTC bombing on his watch and he did nothing, The attack on the USS Cole and he did nothing but he created 119 sanctuaries, maybe the terrorist will respect that!

Answer 6

Yeah and now Bush is dealing with all the things that Clinton chose to ignore because he was too busy creating wildlife sanctuaries and Monica!

Answer 7

Good point! But everyone knows that Bush doesn't care about the environment. Hell he doesn't even know what it means.

And good for Clinton and Janet Reno. They had other things to worry about then infringing on the 1st amendment. I'm not big into porn but really no one makes you buy it so what is the big deal?

Answer 8

DSid you know that one political parties liars are about the same as the other and historically the masses rally behind one party's lies and not the other's because it is just easier to join a mob instead of thinking for yourself.

Answer 9

Democrats. Did you know that under the Clinton administration, Janet Renodid not prosecute one, not one case of indecency. What does this matter? We can thank Bill Clinton for the explosion in porography.

Answer 10

thats because clinton didnt have any major problems to deal with in his presidency, except what night to cheat on his wife and then LIE to the whole country about it.
