A Kerry White House Would Reopen the 'War on the West' Says Idahoan

President Bush is leading steady progress toward a more rational, realistic and responsible approach to a host of environmental and resource issues close to the hearts of all Idahoans.

For three years, the Bush administration has been encouraging stewardship, engaging those who know and understand the issues best. The idea is that people most influenced by federal policies should play a larger role in developing them. The president is committed to being a partner with local folks in the best interest of people and the resources on which they depend.

President Bush is working to roll back policies from eight years of big-government, one-size-fits-all thinking on such issues as public lands access, water sovereignty, wildlife management and sustainable use of natural resources. It´s not easy. Shifting an entrenched bureaucracy´s direction can be like turning a battleship — you can´t do it on a dime.

As long as its somebody else's backyard, we'll regulate it. Right Lurch? Was it Kerry or Kennedy (damn, I can't remember which one) who objected to windmills in Boston harbor because it would obstruct the view?

There is no doubt that a Kerry Presidency would take us several steps back in the war on Liberalism. A war we've been fighting since 1994. Beat back Kerry and defeat a few RINOs in their primaries and we can go a long way toward destroying the DemocRAT party for good.
