Wow! Did Bush make that information known? No. Does he really care? No. Was he even aware of this? No. Yes, it would have cost money. But I suppose we should spend it on a SDI missle defense system that we don't need. Mutual Assured Destruction is a pretty damn good reason why wars aren't fought using nuclear weapons. We have already wasted over 8 billion dollars on researching this and so far it has only been succesful in one out of three trials. I guess this all part of bush's acclaimed "third times a charm" policy. And people in america go to Canada to buy presciption drugs for almost half price.
I never said republicans kept clinton from ever getting anything done. I said that they kept him from passing a universal health care system and held back gay rights in the military. No significant risk? I guess the EPA made up the whole "this will cut health risks from arsenic for 11 million people" as a big scare tactic. That is by far not the only thing Bush has done.
Which is more important, the man who screwed you over then or the man that's screwing you over right now. And just because there was majority on the same party doesn't mean that they would have all voted. Just being members of the same party doesn't mean people act, think, and vote the same way (the name Jim Jeffords come to mind).
Now, if you could get out of your kindergarten mind set that the older someone is then the smarter (translation: pull your head out of your ass), I'm not praising clinton for doing that. But I would like to think that the less harmful substances the better. But I guess the treehuggin' hippies of the EPA were lying when they said that it would have "cut health risks from arsenic for 11 million people".
Gee, wonder who bought him that team and who told him to sell it.Do something sooner? You have been dooped by bullshit. It wasn't clinton's idea to lower the level, it has been proposed many times before by the EPA. I begin to wonder what science classes you took. Just type arsenic into the google search engine and it will show what health risks arsenic HAS been linked to. But why bother? You will probably just say that I'm googles lackey and it's all a conspiracy to convince us that arsenic is bad when in it's really not. Wake up!! If it wasn't harmful and democrat treehuggers were just trying to tell us it's harmful, then they would have come with some fake cure or treatment through herbs to sell at a high price.
Why don't you type arsenic into the google search engine? That's all I had to do to find out what health risks it imposes. No one ever said it was acceptable. The EPA has been proposing this for years. So, to them, it was never ok. And I don't know aboot you, but I always figured the less the amount of cancer causing substances in my water the better.
Well, what does calling me stupid make you? I know, it makes you a hypocrite. Do you really think "Dubya" became a fighter pilot because he wanted a challenge? Or because he wanted to serve his country? He was a fighter pilot out of convience (the same reason bill is still married to hilary), so he could say "Yes, I served my country during the war" and yet he never left Texas the whole time. Filter? Please take off the beer goggles and come into reality. You praise a business man that ran the business into the ground? Now, who is deluded?
Wow! His daddy bought him degrees. It doesn't take a genius to graduate with a C- average. And he was a fighter pilot for the National Guard during the Vietnam War and that's only so he can say he was in the army during the war so that people wouldn't call him a wussy and he could save face with conservatives. Bush never once left Texas during the war. It's the same thing as Gore being a roving reporter that never once went near the front lines. And a business man? His daddy bought him an oil company and bush ran it into the ground. I don't call him stupid because democrats call him stupid. I call him stupid because he is stupid.
Do you agree with bush's actions? I know if I lived in the Sacramento and Montanaian communities that it affected I sure would not mind chipping in a few bucks. Lowering it to 10 parts per billion would have cost around 250$ per user. If it were only reduced to 30 then it would have been cheaper and cost less to implement. But no, we couldn't comprimise with the democrats now could we?
Fine, enjoy your cancer, or brain damage. Trust me, I could list many more things caused by arsenic. I'm not saying clinton was a hero for doing that (somebody finally did it), all I'm saying is that bush is a moron and stubborn jackass for raising it. He could have atleast comprimised. I know it would have cost money to implement, but he could have asked people that live in places that have naturally occuring arsenic in their drinking water because I'm sure they wouldn't have minded to pitch a few extra bucks.
Once he did something, guess what, bush stops it and now you blame him? I don't think he gives a shit. But atleast he can be pressured into doing something good. Bush wouldn't even compromise. On anything! All bush wants is money. And that is all clinton wanted. Clinton on the other hand pretended to care and did things when he knew he had to to keep a good image. Bush is too stpuid to even do that.
Ok, it seems that a misunderstanding has occured. So I'll clear it up. Both parties (any party for that matter) suck. It was aboot time clinton did something and then when he does do something, guess who had to over turn it. Bush's first actions were to overturn anything he could that had been done under clintons office. And he is still doing so. He just recently cut funding for a gun buyback program saying it had "no measurable impact". Unless you count the number of guns bought back (20,000 since 99). But I guess you will just assume I made that up. The only reason I am prone to dislike of republicans more than democrats is that simple fact that they are the more evil of the two parties and one of the more powerful. If the reformist party were as powerful as the republicans, then I would complain aboot them more. And when republicans screw us over it's worse than when democrats do. Because when republicans screw us over it also screws the enviroment and our health. And I don't know aboot you, but I'm more concerned with my health instead of my pocket book. (which both parties are after)
Well, I hope I fit nicely into your stereotype. Because the world couldn't possibly be a diverse place. No, that's not possible at all. Virgin? Yes, and not at all ashamed. But I guess I should be because it's an obvious fact that getting laid increases your political awareness. Or did you just feel the need to prove what a macho man you are? Newsflash, there are more places to get news from other than CNN.
Someone talking and doing nothing seems much better than someone fucking up the enviroment, upping the acceptable level of toxins in drinking water, and pissing off most of our allies. Ever heard of universal healthcare? You probably haven't. We would have had a healthcare system much like Canada's (you know, the one where people don't have to pay for healthcare) except, guess who (no really, guess), denied the proposed bill. I'll give you one guess as to who proposed it.
I don't know how many times I will have to explain this. I am not a democrat. I do not belong to any party at all. I am not a fucking lackey like you. For now, I'll just let you wallow in your stupidity and ignorance.
And it will be right after the hunting season on the stupid. Don't forget to thank me when you are accepting your Darwin Award asshole. Wonder what would happen to you if Cheney found oil under your house.
And I supose there would have been nothing to stop him, right? Do you know how much heat he would have come under from the rest of the 128 countries (you know, the people not as stupid as Bush)? He wouldn't have been able to just talk his way out of this one like he did with other things.

Moron, Canada's healthcare system (you know, the one where people don't have to pay for treatment) would have been a blue print.

I'm still not a democrat. And what does my age have to do anything? Don't think that being older than someone makes you smarter.
I don't know how many times I will have to explain this. I am not a democrat. I do not belong to any party at all. I am not a fucking lackey like you. For now, I'll just let you wallow in your stupidity and ignorance.

You know why he didn't get much done in office? Because of a fucking republican congress.
It seems you have confused democrat with intelligent. I don't belong to any party at all. So these opinions are my own.
And how many of those places being drilled are wild life preserves?
You have beef with slashdot moderators, not me. They have an email if you really feel that strongly aboot it.
Next time I'll be sure to leave out the sarcasm. It seems to be to much for you to handle.
And I supose there would have been nothing to stop him, right? Do you know how much heat he would have come under from the rest of the 128 countries (you know, the people not as stupid as Bush)? He wouldn't have been able to just talk his way out of this one like he did with other things.
