Texas is a disaster zone...........ODESSA – Democrat Joe Lieberman came Thursday to the West Texas
oil patch where George W. Bush grew up and started his career, and he
accused the governor of forsaking Texans' health by failing to stand up to
industrial polluters.

"The one place that Texas has the most clean air is in the speeches that
Governor Bush makes, not in the reality of the air people are breathing,"
said Mr. Lieberman, the Democratic nominee for vice president. He spent
45 minutes in the living room of a shotgun house in Odessa, speaking with
four local women about the cancers and other ailments that they blame on
a nearby petrochemical complex.

"Why is he not putting pressure on these companies?" one of the women,
Norma Nuñez, 39, said of Mr. Bush. "Just imagine – he did it to us and
we live in Texas. ... What's going to happen to the rest of the states?"
