   Self ContradictionThe concept of a group of Republicans for Environmental Protection is an oxymoron.  Republicans prioritize money, business, and property rights above all else.  None of these things can be reconciled with protection and restoration of the natural environment, let alone greatly reducing or eliminating pollution.  This group is a combination of self deceived people who want to have their cake and eat it, too, and a propaganda tool of the Republican Party in order to get support from people who are concerned about the environment and should not be taken seriously by anyone who is so concerned.

   This is why......the League of Conservation Voters is more reliable as an organization than the Republicans for Environmental Protection.

   REP is a joke.It isn't just the missed votes. REP also plugs McCain in spite of his abysmmal career LCV voting score of 24 percent, and REP took some cheap shots at the Sierra Club for telling the truth about McCain's stinking record.  I challenge anyone to go to http://www.lcv.org, look up all the individual Senate votes his career score was based on, and tell me John McCain has a decent environmental record. Moreover, McCain has recently promised he'd appoint more Supreme Court justices in the mold of Alito and Roberts -- bad justices, if you care about protecting the environment.  McCain isn't Reagan or Bush, but if that qualifies you as enviromentally acceptable, we haven't just lowered the bar -- there is no bar.
