Actually it was bipartisan with Heitkamp and Manchin supporting Pruitt.
Go Pruitt! Go Trump!
GUT THE HELL OUT OF THE WORST ROGUE AGENCY IN DC!
What’s the EPAs equivalent to State’s 7th floor?
Regardless,they all need to go. It’s an open secret that over the decades, but especially under Obama, the EPA has long outsourced almost all its “research” and policy work to the Sierra Club and other leftwing environmental organizations.
Great! Now start taking it apart.
More winning and I’m still not sick of it!

To terminate the Environmental Protection Agency.
SECTION 1. TERMINATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL PRO-TECTION AGENCY.
The Environmental Protection Agency shall termi-

The dems are trying to make Trumps team appear to be partisan and controversial by party lining every appointment. Years from now, this will be looked back upon as a second moment in our history when people took back the reigns of government, without violence, but not without a fight. Lets hope the establishment that is fighting to keep its power over the people today will have been relegated to the trash heap by then.
They are starting to crack. 2 jumped party !
“Democrats Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Joe Manchin of West Virginia, both from energy-producing states, said they will vote with Republicans to confirm Pruitt. Just one GOP senator, Susan Collins of Maine, said she would vote against Pruitt.
The final vote was 52 to 46 in favor of confirmation.”
The fascist, obstructionist “Democrats” need to knock of their BS and get this done. Clintoonie lost. They need to get over it and “move on”.
This is one of the most important appointments by President Trump. The EPA needs to be gutted root and branch. It’s become a communist anti-America agency hell-bent on destroying the economy through regulation and fiat.
God Bless President Trump and Secretary Pruitt.
Go to the department that chokes the life out of farmers. Advise them that 5 people will remain employed at the end of the day. They will be the ones who can shred and reverse the most regulations by 5 pm. Go.
Go to the department that ordered guns, ammo and military hardware for the EPA. Fire the lot of them and put a permanent toxic employee memo in their govt. file.
Go to the department that spilled the gold mine holding pond into the river in CO. Assign them to monitoring field mouse populations in Alaska’s north slope, with a pay cut.
Just as long as he is approved. Who cares what the democrat losers think!!!
“Mostly” party line. I heard Manchin and some other Dem were going to flip.
Now farmers in California will get the irrigation water they need and are entitled to, and it will be “Drill baby , drill!”
Pruitt’s first challenge is to clean up one of the worst toxic waste sites in America, the EPA!
Global Warming on Free Republic here, here and here
