Remember back when even some Republicans
wanted to be known as environmentalists? Granted, remembering Ronald "trees pollute" Reagan, it looks like George Bush Sr. was already an anomaly. In case there was any doubt though,
there's Scott Walker, pursuing a blatantly anti-environmental agenda. He seems to be covering the gamut, from stripping citizen boards of decision making authority, to selling public lands, to firing the scientists.
Oh yes, those Wisconsin tourism ads are full of lakes and trees. Just look and don't get wet I guess, or you might get too sick to hear when Walker starts selling himself to swing voters as some sort of moderate.
Remember when Mike Huckabee was the nice conservative? I remember his line in one of the 2008 debates, "I'm conservative, but I'm not angry about it." He was this amusing guy who made repeat appearances on such lefty media as Colbert Nation and The Thom Hartmann Program. He could disagree with liberals yet be civil about it. For 2016, he decided that crazy sells better than polite. Feeling left out of the conservative angerfest after President Obama's bit of historical accuracy at the national prayer breakfast (on a tangent, why does Obama show up at that thing anyway?), Huckabee said Obama doesn't like anyone but Muslims.
"This President has a high horse himself. It's his TelePrompTer," Huckabee said, apparently still thinking teleprompter references are hilarious. Even on his now defunct Fox News program, at least early one when I watched it once in a while, Huckabee used to come across with a sort of "I don't dislike you, but I just don't agree with you" attitude. I also recall some Arkansans saying in 2008 that we shouldn't be fooled, because we weren't seeing Huckabee's other side. I think I see it now.
