Who cares more for the environment?

Question

Dems or Republicans? lol
I say the answer is obvious... Dems
but thats my opinion and I'd like to hear yours

It makes sense tahal for liberals in america to want to change america. Thats hard enough I think,

Its not crap sir.
The republicans want to drill for oil in wildlife preserves. they want to relax laws on intustrial pollution and waste

Dems by a landslide

Answer 1

It's obvious that the Dems on the surface are more for the environment because the current regime is so corrupt. And a look at recent history would indicate that the GOP is for big business at the expense of everything else. But the Democratic congress has been such an utter disappointment for not obeying the mandate of the 2006 elections that I am not sure who they work for or what they support anymore.

As long as money and not ideas is the main reason people are elected we will always have elected officials that are obliged to the contributors. And that is a problem if you want a government of the people...

Answer 2

Interesting. Ask a question, give a answer. At least we know who you will give best answer to. ;)

Anyway, I will ask you this...
What have Dems actually DONE for the environment? It's very easy to sit on a soap box and tell us that we are doing wrong but it's another thing to actually do something about it.

For instance, we hear all about alternative energies from the dems. The problem is that our country's infrastructure is set up for one...maybe two of these ideas to go to production. Most of these don't cover transportation energy (IE oil and gas) so we have to think of something else there and once again pick one or maybe two of the ideas to impliment into production.

So what should be the the grid power choice? Solar, wind, nuclear, what? Each has their own environmental impact (IE pollution) that harms the local eco-system. I mean we have only been studying these forms of energy production for about 30 years. Don't you think it's time to pick something already? Have you heard Democrats on this? It's panderring at it's best and as an environmentalist, shouldn't you be pissed off about your ideals being used as baby-kissing moments that cheapen your beliefs to soundbytes that are incorrectly used?

Or perhaps you are one of those political types that don't really care about the topic but will use it as a political tool?

Answer 3

If you want to see the real answer, take a look at the lifestyles of Republicans vs. those of Democrats.

House #1 A 20 room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house, all heated by gas. In one month this residence consumes more energy than the ave rage American household does in a year. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2400. In natural gas alone, this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not situated in a Northern or Midwestern "snow belt" area. It's in the South, and is one of many mansions owned by the resident.

House #2 Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university. This house incorporates every "green" feature current home construction can provide. The house is 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on a high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat-pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in the winter and cools it in the summer! The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas and it consumes one-quarter electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Surrounding flowers and shrubs native to the area enable the property to blend into the surrounding rural landscape.

HOUSE #1 is outside of Nashville , Tennessee ; it is the abode of the "environmentalist" Al Gore;

HOUSE #2 is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas ; it is the residence the of the President of the United States , George W. Bush.

Democrats like to lie a lot. Some foreigners who aren't able to see how they live in reality often take the bait.

Answer 4

Our current administration's current recalcitrism at the Bali conference demonstrates the answer for that beyond doubt.
When the opportunity came for the USA to stand up and lead - our leaders decided instead to continue to undermine what could have been the most united move towards global good in history.

Greatrig/Hedgehog- Al Gore caught a train to collect his Nobel Prize and offsets his electricity usage with carbon neutral sourced electricity. Lying about it does not change the fact that his lifestyle is 100% in line with what he advocates.

mahal - China produces approximately the same amount of carbon output as the US- India considerably less. Yet both of these countries have 3-4 times the population as the US. hence they are using considerably less per capita than the US. If the entire world were to maintain India and China's per capita output there would be no need for Kyoto or Bali. So why should they reduce when they are not the ones contributing to the problem.
C'mon they teach this in elementary school - 10 year olds can understand this - why are you being so obtuse?

Answer 5

No One cares about our planet. Look at the highways when your on a trip. Too much trash to count. Globel warming? Only a few believe. Being on one party or another doesn't mean squat! They are running for office, because they are the best liars in the world. It is going to take a global catistrofic event to wake everyone up. That will be too late then. God bless the children, because IF there is anyone left, it won't take long for the human race to be gone off the face of the world. Think I am too dramatic? Don't say you weren't warned. Dem. or Rep? No Matter.

Answer 6

If you want a true answer, search the laws that have been passed in Congress. Then search on how these laws were applied. I think most of us would be surprised. If you are just asking for opinions, well, you know what they say: "everyone has one."

Answer 7

Answer 8

Republicans don't usually get credit for being environmentally cautious. However, Bush did mandate for Auto Mfg.'s to get vehicles to get 35mpg Min. by like 2010 (or something like that). I think it's truly 50/50. Some are making the Auto Mfg's to step up & some think we should instead focus on alternative fuel sources. I don't think politicians know which way to go with this issue, they just know something needs to be done.

Answer 9

Well think about this for a second. George W. Bush's Crawford Texas house is 100 percent solar,and wind powered. Al Gores house for the year of 2006 used more then 20 times the national average for his electric bill....yeah he really cares about the inviroment.

Answer 10

The interest is mutual, one party just panders to the nutjobs a little more. There are very few issues where you will see the two parties actuall differ from one another on actions, yet they play it like they are complate opposites.
