Green-minded group seeks to boost Dems in '04 - Denver Post

[MoonAndSun]

<snip> "WASHINGTON - A band of former Clinton administration officials and environmental lobbyists is trying to exploit the Democrats' long-standing edge on environmental issues to help reclaim the White House in 2004.

The group, called Environment2004, hopes to identify, target and mobilize a niche of environmental voters in a handful of key states to tip the electoral balance against President Bush in the 2004 election.

Group leaders want to harness outrage about Bush's stances on issues such as logging, global warming and drilling in Alaska and the Rocky Mountains to give a crucial edge to the eventual Democratic nominee. The plan is to discredit what they call Bush's "greenwashing," his position that his pro-development policies are also nature-friendly.

This sounds like a great idea, the environment and how badly bush* is on this subject, is something that will speak to many voters.

1. THis is a winner

But not a top shelf issue. However, even Republicans I talk to have problems w/ "wise use" dogma and unbridled exploitation of the environment.

The right will continue to call us "environmentalist whackos" trot out pseudo-science that is NOT peer-reviewed for mass consumption by the ditto-head dimwits and hold the line on the environment.

They won't battle us with ideas or facts..It will be a mass of name calling. And if that doesn't help, maybe coax ELF into blowing up some more Hummer dealerships as to give sympathy to the "pro-Hummer" forces.
