Locke Criticizes Bush on Water Rules
By CHRISTOPHER NEWTON (Direct

Associated Press Writer MARCH 31, 11:44 EST
WASHINGTON (AP) � President Bush is leading a strategic assault on the environment after he announced plans to rescind a Clinton-era regulation limiting the amount of arsenic allowed in drinking water, a Democratic governor said
Saturday.
(The
lack of quotation marks around this alleged statement by a DemocRAT Governor
bothers me! This leads the reader to believe that this is not a quote, but
an actual fact. It appeared on the Wire this way so that those who just
browse the Wire would have gotten the impression that this was a documented fact
instead of the direct quote that it is! This tactic is old hat for the
"Free Press". Let's see if there is anything resembling
objectivity in this story, or will it just be another one sided hatchet job on
the Bush Administration brought to you by the "non-partisan" Ministry
of Propaganda, the "Free Press"! - tha malcontent)
Washington Gov. Gary Locke said Bush is in the pocket of big business and is taking his cues from the energy
industry.

forget, Bush is in the pocket of BIG OIL too! - tha malcontent)
``It is the wealthy donors and the special interests that helped put him in the White House who want to loosen environmental controls,'' Locke said in the Democrats' weekly radio address. ``As a result, their problems are his problems, and the environmental regulations that are in their way, are in his way
too.'"
(Finally
some quotation marks! I was wondering if this wasn't turning into an
official "Free Press" opinion piece! - tha malcontent)
The comments were in reaction to Bush's announcement this week that he will pursue a reduction in the amount of arsenic allowed in drinking water, but not before more scientific studies indicate where the level should be
set.
(Bush
wants to poison black babies in Florida who's parents did not vote for him, then
drag their dead carcasses behind an old Texas truck just like the NAACP
said! I knew it! The Bush family are a bunch of racists! - tha
malcontent)
The current standard, set in 1942, allows a maximum of 50 parts per billion. Last year, the Environmental Protection Agency recommended reducing that to 5 parts per billion as demanded by many environmentalists, but President Clinton directed that the standard be set at 10 parts per
billion.
(Environmentalists
"demand" a lot of things just like toddlers do, that doesn't mean you
give into their ignorant demands! Thank God we don't give them the reigns
of Government! We would collapse as a nation within five years! - tha
malcontent)
The Bush administration says it will withdraw the Clinton standard, which would have taken effect later this
year.

one President against the other! Maybe the "Free Press" can have
a fire side chat with Clinton and get his opinion on this! - tha malcontent)
Health and environmental groups have been campaigning since 1996 to reduce the standard. The EPA acted as part of a court settlement after the National Academy of Sciences found in 1999 that arsenic in drinking water can cause bladder, lung and skin cancer, and might cause liver and kidney
cancer.
(One
side of the debate, and I am sure we will not be blessed with the other side
before this propaganda comes to a close! - tha malcontent)
Locke said Bush's action is just the latest in his ``anti-environmental
initiatives."
(Are
we going to hear from Bush "Free Press"?, or is this just going to be
the new way from here on out? "The Associated Press, the Voice of the
DemocRAT Party", should be your new slogan! By the way "Free
Press", it's DemocRAT Governor, not DemocRATic Governor! This little
change in moniker happened a few years ago along with the constant references to
America as a Democracy and DemocRATic, which we are NOT! We are a
Representative Republic, end of list! - tha malcontent)
``On the campaign trail, then-Governor Bush promised that he would place limits on the level of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere,'' Locke said. ``Right after he got into the White House, though, that pledge went out the
window."
(This
is one DemocRATS opinion "Free Press", and as I see the last paragraph
coming, it doesn't appear that the "other side" is going to have a
"fair chance" as Madison put it! [The
Foundation] Another fine
example of the lack of "freedom from influence" that our "Free
Press" has become plagued with! - tha malcontent)
``Two days later, the president announced that he thought our national parks, such as Yellowstone and Yosemite, have great potential for oil drilling,'' the governor said. ``We urge the president in the strongest terms to protect our
environment."
(This
dolt can't even get his rhetoric right! It's the Artic National Wildlife
Refuge you idiot! Did you even read your talking points before doing this
radio address? Without guidance from the bully pulpit, DemocRATS are an
unorganized group of ignorant guilty whiny white liberals! It's
entertaining to watch them collapse in front of "the people" like
this! It would just be nice to have an OBJECTIVE outlet of information so
that all of "the people" could be aware of the collapse! - tha
