You didn't know that many Republicans want to abolish the EPA? stevenleser Aug 2015 #29

Romney never said that. former9thward Aug 2015 #32

Notice I didn't say nominees. Most of the folks who have ran have said so. But in terms of Romney stevenleser Aug 2015 #40

I am not a hyper partisan. former9thward Aug 2015 #43

Here, have some bedtime stories Lancero Aug 2015 #44

I am not going to click that link. former9thward Aug 2015 #46

Uh huh. Lancero Aug 2015 #47

Your game, not mine. former9thward Aug 2015 #48

I forgot, what did you ask for? Lancero Aug 2015 #49

A poster stated the R party wanted to abolish the EPA. former9thward Aug 2015 #50

And you asked to a link to ANYONE wanting to abolish the EPA. Lancero Aug 2015 #53

You don't want to show the previous post I was replying to, do you? former9thward Aug 2015 #54

Keep moving the goalposts. Lancero Aug 2015 #55

Thanks for the kick! former9thward Aug 2015 #56

That mine leaks continuously into the river... hunter Aug 2015 #10

Exactly. This is a Superfund site. Silverton officials opposed the designation and clean up. greatlaurel Aug 2015 #11

oh, how disgusting, gold mine spent/used toxic water :( Sunlei Aug 2015 #12

Where is the outrage these mines have been allowed to leak and degrade these rivers for decades? greatlaurel Aug 2015 #13

Wouldn't it be great if the mining company would have to pay for clean-up? Octafish Aug 2015 #14

To blame the EPA for this is playing into Republican hands. n/t PowerToThePeople Aug 2015 #15

They blamed themselves. former9thward Aug 2015 #17

Did they blame themselves for accumulating millions of gallons of filth? Orrex Aug 2015 #22

No, they blamed themselves for causing the release. former9thward Aug 2015 #23

Well, let me put it another way Orrex Aug 2015 #24

If a company caused the release they would be fined by the EPA. former9thward Aug 2015 #25

You're right--it's the EPA's fault that the company didn't clean up its shit Orrex Aug 2015 #26

It should certainly pay for all the damages done downstream. former9thward Aug 2015 #31

What if the dump had happened on its own, as it certainly would have? Orrex Aug 2015 #33

I reject your "it was only a matter of time" theory. former9thward Aug 2015 #35

Right. The leaky, abandoned, century-old mine would have lasted forever Orrex Aug 2015 #36

Your rejection is predicated on what specific man-made structure which never degraded over time? LanternWaste Aug 2015 #38

I said there was no evidence. former9thward Aug 2015 #39

Why not blame the EPA? Calista241 Aug 2015 #42

Fucking A is the flow still constant with this crap? lonestarnot Aug 2015 #16

And this is exactly why Blue_In_AK Aug 2015 #27

Yes! Stop them. What are they trying to dig up there? lonestarnot Aug 2015 #59

Copper and gold. Blue_In_AK Aug 2015 #60

Copper and gold can be found elsewhere and this bullshit is not for the greater good use of lonestarnot Aug 2015 #61

Thank you. Blue_In_AK Aug 2015 #62

Why didn't the mining company clean up their mess before abandoning the mine? B Calm Aug 2015 #34

The mine was abandon in 1920. Calista241 Aug 2015 #41

That's a long time ago. I worked for a cellophane company B Calm Aug 2015 #45

So does the federal government now own the shit? lonestarnot Aug 2015 #58
