Or is there enough to them to even do that?
More BS about Gore, not from wannabe Swift Boaters but from our "media." Newsweek seeking Gore's reelection plans from his pantsize. And USA Today running a story about how he used to be invested in a zinc mine that didn't cause any problems, but other zinc mines have, and how could he call himself an environmentalist??? It's a classic story of putting the "hypocrite" meme out there and CYA with the facts in lower case throughout the article. Here are the points in the story that show that THERE SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN A STORY AT ALL AND INCLUDING THESE FACTS DOESN'T CLEAR THE WRITER OF PROSTITUTION.
". . . there is no evidence the mine has caused serious damage to the environment in the area or threatened the health of his neighbors."
". . . he and wife, Tipper, have not decided whether they will renew their lease."
"Last week, Gore sent a letter asking the company to work with Earthworks, a national environmental group, to make sure the operation doesn't damage the environment.
"We would like for you to engage with us in a process to ensure that the mine becomes a global example of environmental best practices," Gore wrote."
"But state regulators consider those permit violations minor and monitoring reports provide a clean bill of health for the rivers in the area, which are a source of drinking water. Community leaders and health officials recall no health problems ever associated with the mining."
"At the same time, the Caney Fork Watershed Association, which works to conserve and improve the waterways in the area, has heard no concerns from its members about the mine's reopening.
"The operation has a record of vigilance in not operating to harm the environment, and we certainly hope that the renewed operation will maintain this record," John Harwood, with the association, said in a written statement."
"The Gores won't speculate on whether they will refuse to renew their lease if the new owners don't follow their request to work with the environmental group, Kreider said. They do plan, she said, to encourage their neighbors to join their effort."
The Repubs didn't do in this country. The news media did. The Repubs just knew how much to leave on the night table when they were done.
