Teddy was a conservative. He supported protecting the environment and wildlife because America is a beautiful country... not because trees and antelope have god-given rights.

BTW, Teddy was a hunter. When was the last time Dean went hunting lions in Africa?

Bad news.

Dean Promises to be the Next Theodore Roosevelt for the Environment

Gonna be difficult. Roosevelt was able to accomplish things because he was President of the United States.

Ex-governors of Vermont have considerably less clout.

... Reengaging with the international community and restoring our nation's role as a global leader on environmental issues. Dean believes America must work toward the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol. He called for adding to this international agreement by including carbon pollution reductions by developing nations as well as developed nations...

Finish the destruction of the nation, formerly the Republic of the United States of America.

Dean as president promised to require that 20 percent of the nation's electricity needs come from renewable energy sources by 2020.

What a completely meaningless “promise.”

First, even if hell froze over, and Dean was elected, he couldn’t possibly still be president when his promise came due. So it’s meaningless.

Secondly, unless he’s personally going to go out and invent these technologies himself, he has absolutely no control over the issue.

Do his dumbass supporters really fall for these utterly meaningless, pie-in-the-sky promises? Are they really that friggin’ stupid?

[Prodigal Son]

I wonder how many people who might vote for Dean even know who Teddy Roosevelt was?

[Sloth]

He's gonna bomb Europe and Japan?

Dean: "I want to revisit the 1776 issue and act like King George III, sending out swarms of officials to eat out your sustenance and see what happens."

Dean Promises to be the Next Theodore Roosevelt for the Environment

This should be interesting.
To see Dean follow in Teddy's footsteps in going on long hunting expeditions, killing
hundreds of examples of wildlife and posing for the camera with his prodigious
harvest.

And didn't the Panama Canal get finished on Teddy's watch? Maybe this
Dean guy has something going for him, after all (just joking).
