Its an election year.
For democrats the environmentalists always come first, they attend the cocktail parties and represent easy money. As opposed to the unwashed dependant class, which makes up the majority of the base.
When Obama was elected youll remember the first order of business was...(drum roll please)...Cap-n-Trade, which failed miserably.
The first order of business was NOT Obamacare, which proportedly benefited the great unwashed base of the democrat party.
Global warming has fallen flat. Car-n-Trade was dead on arrival. The democrats have failed miserably to appease the environmentalists who themselves need to to I turn raise money to keep thier own graft schemes going.
Of coarse its not over. Weigh the Bundys life, liberty and 150 year legacy against the odds that in the next decade somewhere in 150,000 acres (half the State of Delaware in area) a cow might crap on a hapless tortuise.
Tortuise wins every time. /sarc
Harry gets his Nevada support from the urban dwellers, casinos, unions and johns at the cat house. These little people mean nothing to him, IMO.
