Truth is Lies.
LIE: "Clear Skies legislation, when passed by Congress, will significantly reduce smog and mercury emissions, as well as stop acid rain. It will put more money directly into programs to reduce pollution, so as to meet firm national air-quality goals. ..." -- George W. Bush, Earth Day speech, April 22, 2002
TRUTH: The act, in fact, delays required emission cuts by as much as 10 years, usurps the states' power to address interstate pollution problems and allows outdated industrial facilities to skirt costly pollution-control upgrades.
UPDATE: May 06, 2004. Study Finds Top Air Polluters Closely Tied to Bush Administration
The nation's top 50 polluting power plants are owned by corporations that are tightly allied with the Bush Administration both as major campaign contributors and in conducting pollution policymaking, according to a new study released yesterday. Conducted by two nonprofit, nonpartisan groups--the Environmental Integrity Project and Public Citizen--the study utilized data from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI).
Ranking the polluters based on their emissions of mercury, sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide, the report finds that sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide pollution actually increased from 2002-2003, thereby expanding risks of asthma attacks and lung ailments.
According to the report, America's Dirtiest Power Plants: Plugged into the Bush Administration, the firms cited in the study, along with their trade associations, met at least 17 times with Vice President Cheney's energy task force.
The report found that since 1999, the 30 largest utility companies owning the majority of the 89 dirtiest power plants in the study have contributed $6.6 million to the Bush presidential campaigns and the Republican National Committee. The 30 companies also hired at least 16 lobbying or law firms that have raised at least $3.4 million more for the Bush campaigns.

No matter what you want Buch will win this election because Hillary Clinton wants to run for President in 2008, If Kerry wins she can not, its that simple.
You might not like Buch; we have him for four more years.
And if you think that Mrs. Clinton can run even if Kerry is elected you need help.

What shoe will drop to disrupt the Democratic Convention next week? Will Sandy Burger be arrested for stuffing copies of top secret documents in his socks? Will Osama do a perp walk on CNN? Will nukes be found in the sands of Iraq? The Democrats had better hope so, because next week is the week that many Dems have feared: John Kerry will stand before a microphone and speak to the American people. His numbers have been fine -- so-so to good -- whenever he is away from the glare of the lights. I bet Terry McAuliffe is praying for a brownout, a solar storm or a low speed Bronco chase with Kobe Bryant. Anything to stop Kerry from droning, er, speaking on the air.
