Can anyone say lame duck desperatly trying to steal the last $$$$$$$$$$$$$''s they can!

"We have always had concerns with respect to the need for streamlining and making it a more efficient process," said Joe Nelson, a lawyer for the National Endangered Species Act Reform Coalition, a trade group for home builders and the paper and farming industry.


Listening to anyone with a vested interest like that group is like asking the banks, how many billions do you need for us to bail you out .... opppss ..... that is what just happened!

The "Dumb as Dirt" SHRUB has now guaranteed that the greedy, crooked repub will soon beecome endangered and hopefully extinct!

Federal agenicies deciding for themselves ..... ROFLMAO! FEMA could not handle their job and the South still suffers from Katrina! The EPA cow-towed and bowed to political pressure and redacted scientific data from the report to Congress on global warming. The Department of Transportation allowed 2 companies to continue in business and now many are dead! The Federal Reserve Bank, The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Trade Commission could not adequately oversee the major lenders in the country and look at that mess!

ROFLMAO! Repubs are so greedy! All they do is scream less taxes and more corporate welfare!

Wow! Development has already taken up so much of animal habitat. We have so many animals that go into "human habitat." This would just make it worse. There is absolutely no balance. Are humans ever happy with what they have? Do they HAVE to keep developing till there nothing left but concrete and buildings? No more trees...no more oxygen to breath. What a sad thought. We survive together or not at all.

"The sponsor of that bill, then-House Natural Resources chairman Richard Pombo, R-Calif., told the AP Monday that allowing agencies to judge for themselves the effects of a project will not harm species or habitat. "


Fortunately, Pombo, slick wearer of lizard-skin cowboy boots who spoke with a tongue as forked as a reptile''s, is now on the ashheap of history. The voters trashed him.


For 8 years, the Bush-Cheney regime has made prostitites of government agencies.

If you want more whoring, vote McCain. Another pea in the pod.

Toothless?

Gutless?

Are you hindered? PRESIDENT Bush has stood up to the gutless, MSM controlled congress for the past 8 years. He has stood firm in his convictions in the face of pacifism and has proven to be a very staunch CinC. I applaud the guy a job well done!!

"The Bush administration wants federal agencies to decide for themselves"

Federal agencies that are so totally inept they can''t do their mandated jobs, and we''re supposed to let them decide? No way.

No Bush. No Obama. It''s time to bring back peasants with pitchforks and clean out that wretched city in DC.

Bush has just revealed himself, in the 11th hour, to be not merely anti-American, but anti-human.

Posted by ubrew12 at 10:48 PM : Aug 11, 2008

Humans AREN''T on the endangered species list. How could this make him anti-human?

You guys are so ignorant to the facts, SO lead with by the MSM, you''ll come up with any off the wall reason to attack the president. Come on people, step into REALITY!!!
