Uh, not true. If you think the GOP has the goal of reducing toxic emissions into the environment, you are sadly mistaken. W.'s only priority in this regard has been easing environmental restrictions on major polluters and rolling back Clinton-era EPA standards. He eased restrictions on polluters from coal burning power plants to mercury emitting oil refineries. Why do you think Christy Todd Whitman quit the EPA? Let's at least be straight up about this one.

Why did Clinton wait till his final night in office to finally approve the new arsenic standards which had remained the same for the last 60 years? Yes in between signing all those pardons for his crooked political cronies he slipped in an 80% reduction in the arsenic standard. You guys miss all the details and end up fooling yourselves into believing that the Demmies are pro environment and the conserv(atives) are con.

Just an FYI the standard was set in 1975 but based on 1942 data.
