Orwell Goes Prime Time
Both the Washington Post and the New York Times have transcripts of last night’s debate posted. The Post is better because it’s one long page, therefore searchable from within my browser.
Bravo to Senator Kerry for pulling some truth forward about the Orwellian agenda of his neo-con opposition:
KERRY: The Clear Skies bill that he just talked about, it’s one of those Orwellian names you pull out of the sky, slap it onto something, like “No Child Left Behind” but you leave millions of children behind. Here they’re leaving the skies and the environment behind.If they just left the Clean Air Act all alone the way it is today, no change, the air would be cleaner that it is if you pass the Clear Skies act. We’re going backwards.
In fact, his environmental enforcement chief air-quality person at the EPA resigned in protest over what they’re doing to what are calling the new source performance standards for air quality.
They’re going backwards on the definition for wetlands. They’re going backwards on the water quality.
They pulled out of the global warming, declared it dead, didn’t even accept the science.
I’m going to be a president who believes in science.
