Hating nature second nature
Conservationists protest new Bush logging proposal
In their continuing efforts to destroy anything green that isn't money, the Bush Administration wants to kill the "roadless rule" and thus open the national forests to loggers. I can't imagine this is actually good for Bush's reelection prospects, considering the rule's popularity. But I suppose it's unlikely to be a big deal. In any event, the Administration thinks some things are more important than re-election, and huge giveaways to corporations are one of them.

As I understand it, the states most likely to be affected are aolid Red states anyway. He'd have to do more than this to piss off his loyal subjects. Meanwhile, I'm sure this move will be popular with his corporate benefactors... gotta keep those campaign contributions rolling in, ya know?

How much money does he need? Heck, they have more than they can reasonably spend before the convention anyway (and they're still claiming they aren't opting out of public financing) while their ads don't do them any good.

The Bush administration's idea to "remove the roadless areas" rule is a stupid. I agree.
