We will be feeling the effects of Bill Clinton's cynical appeal to the emotions of the American public for generations. It's "for the children," my tuchus!

Better they take the Freedom Pledge... Watch closely, Johnny. This is how you flip the bird to petty tyrants.

Dear Ms. Whitman,

I go outside to smoke, because I already don't want my daughter to inhale the smoke. It also stinks up the carpet and furniture. So, I brave lightning, wind, rain, and snow to get my smokes, and I don't need some pompous pro-abort bureaucrat taking money out of my paycheck to tell me how to treat my child.

Screw you.

[Vladiator]

I'm sure your kids will thank you for exercising your freedom through their hacking coughs.

[Random Access]

Tell your kids, that while second hand smoke MIGHT be bad for you, first hand government ALWAYS is.

Good Lord!

This has NOTHING to do with the EPA's mandate. NOTHING!

[lakey]

Tell the EPA to go suck an egg, preferably one infected with salmonella.

"...encouraging parents to "go out for their kids", until they can quit smoking." Who said they want to quit? The steamroller of a govt. moves on.

Somehow the new administration just can't seem to kick the "political correctness" habit.

I am saving a really smelly cigar for when Whitman comes to our area. ;-)

EPA can kiss my butt.

Re #4: I love it!

[Alas]

I kind of wish those guys and gals in the epa would quit smokin that crack stuff. Only thing that explains their wierd behavior.

epa, batf, fbi, what a bunch of coke heads.

Man what I wouldn't give for a government that read the Consitution and abided by it.

[Alas Babylon!]

What interests me is when Child Protective Services start removing children from parents who smoke. This is the preparatory emotionalism act. Once everyone knows only bad parents smoke in front of kids, it will be much easier to take the kids from these lowlifes.

[Eagle Eye]

Wasn't the new administration supposed to be the cure, not a continuation of the problem?

[toenail]

"Wasn't the new administration supposed to be the cure, not a continuation of the problem?"

Yeah, right.

I sure don't know why President Bush appointed her! She's a Clinton Lap Dog! Now look at what's she's doing. She still must not be busy enough with NYC! She has her teeth into smokers, and like a rabid dog, won't cut it loose.

[goodieD]

I don't even like the fact that we have an EPA, let alone that Bush appointed this fuzzy headed witch to head it.

[SheLion]

She must be getting that honey pot lobby money so she won't let the smokers alone! Has to be SOME big bucks in it for her. It always is!

[goodieD]

I'm sure your kids will be thrilled to know that you allowed their freedoms to be hacked away at, til there was nothing left. I'm sure your kids will be thrilled to know that you allowed the government to tell you how to be a parent.
