DISQUS

The Eagle-Tribune: Letter: How about some scrutiny of Green greed?

    Republicans rely on "the free market"? Are you serious? Al Gore invests his money (his family is wealthy, Gore isn't getting rich, he already is) in something he believes in and that's suddenly a bad thing? I will respond in detail later but I have to stop laughing first.

    Same old behavior. What's OK for one party isn't OK for the other, so whereas a Democrat having an affair with a chubby intern is cause for a national crisis a Republican cheating on his wife by secretly flying to Argentina is not, and one party can rant and rave about the wonders of the free market until a member of the other party takes advantage of it.

    Meanwhile, the Kool-Aid drinkers (like the author of the letter) stand in line, waiting to dip their cups into the bucket and take a drink.

    There's only two real differences that I can discern between the two major political parties: who gets screwed and the flavor of the Kool-Aid.

    So this was a letter on Al Gore?

    I saw him on the Daily Show and Colbert Report and he was very very funny.

    Yeah, republicans are ..... I don't know....

    Seems to me that there is an issue with being a republican. Either you are a rich managerial/corporate type or a slub worker at a factory. It kills me that there is this schism between the extremes within the party supports.

    But then again, it is the rich republicans playing on the naivity of the worker republicans that seems to be going on. You say what? I say yes! It all comes down to the distinction between the social and fiscal differences.

    The rich republicans will benefit greatly from the green initative. That goes without saying. They just don't want to lose out on the money they are making now with the fossil fuels. So they call on their slub (social) republicans to not back the green effort at this time. Knowing now that they will be calling on them in the future to support their (fiscal) republicans efforts for green energy in the future.

    Maybe if we had properly addressed these issues in the past, then we would not have needed the Superfund?!

    Go Green, go clean!
