Us treehuggers, evn if we make up 20% of the genpop like they're sayin', are likely already predisposed not to vote Con. Wooin' us means winnin' us over. It can't happen without real, meaningful, decisive action. They know that and they know that such action would alienate the <a href="http://www.bloggingtories.ca" rel="nofollow">anti-Earthers</a> who are their most loyal supporters. Mulroney even told 'em to smarten up on Mother Earth stuff but they ain't listenin' to him, neither. I'm gettin' a little pissed off on PitBullBoy's flip-floppin' re the Clean Air Act. The thing that's got me chewin' nails an' fartin' tacks is the stallin' an' lack of action. They been screwin' around with the CAA since last fall an' now we're hearin' it's dead... or maybe not. The anti-Earther Con's done a smart thing. They said they'd go to committee an' negotiate an amended CAA. They negotiated an' negotiated an' finally they ain't happy with what they got so we got nuthin' to show fer 6 months wasted time. Fer the anti-Earthers, wasted time an' the status quo are victories. They won this round an' as long as we keep lettin' 'em stall an' do nuthin', they'll keep on winnin'.

Us treehuggers, evn if we make up 20% of the genpop like they’re sayin’, are likely already predisposed not to vote Con. Wooin’ us means winnin’ us over. It can’t happen without real, meaningful, decisive action. They know that and they know that such action would alienate the anti-Earthers who are their most loyal supporters. Mulroney even told ‘em to smarten up on Mother Earth stuff but they ain’t listenin’ to him, neither.

I’m gettin’ a little pissed off on PitBullBoy’s flip-floppin’ re the Clean Air Act. The thing that’s got me chewin’ nails an’ fartin’ tacks is the stallin’ an’ lack of action. They been screwin’ around with the CAA since last fall an’ now we’re hearin’ it’s dead… or maybe not.

The anti-Earther Con’s done a smart thing. They said they’d go to committee an’ negotiate an amended CAA. They negotiated an’ negotiated an’ finally they ain’t happy with what they got so we got nuthin’ to show fer 6 months wasted time. Fer the anti-Earthers, wasted time an’ the status quo are victories. They won this round an’ as long as we keep lettin’ ‘em stall an’ do nuthin’, they’ll keep on winnin’.
