The Republicans could point out that the environmental movement has managed to keep any new oil and gas refineries from being built in this country for three decades, as well as any new atomic reactors. The GOP could also point out that the enlightened ones have prevented any new drilling off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, as well as a small stretch of desolate land in Alaska.
p>Of course, they won’t. After all the New York Times might accuse them of “McCarthyism” and Katie Couric might pout on television. And so, the Stupid Party clings to power for the usual reason: Oh, please let us enjoy the fruits of office. We won’t cause any trouble. Please, please. br> — John Lockwood br> Washington, D.C. /p>The only way to tell a Republican from a Democrat is the R or D after their name.
