The environment is one of the “big three” issues that are hurting GOP candidates – particularly here in California. And frankly, it’s an issue that Republicans should be leading rather than ceding to extremists on the far left.
It’s amazingly inconsistent to advocate tight control of tax-dollars, and then blithely ignore the value of irreplaceable national resources. It’s kind of like the penny-wise businessman who watches his bank account like a hawk, but ignores even routine maintenance of his building until it collapses around him. Eventually he’s going to have to deal with it, it’s just smarter and cheaper to do it along the way.
Don’t confuse real conservationism with the wack-nut extremists who think insects are equally (or even more) important than people.

I couldn’t agree more with Tab. Republican leaders need to step up and face this issue head on if we are ever going to gain and maintain any majority in this state and country.
