Similarly, when we compromise national security, even just a little, to save the caribou in ANWR, it is stupid behavior that reasonable people will conclude should not be done.

This is very typical...you are not able to rationally defend your position, so you bring up the fear factor...national security. The Rep party is the party of scare tactics. To get these big budget, life threatening, environment damaging issues thru the Congress, the Reps. preface their introduction with "should X, Y or Z not be passed, the security of the American people will be in jeopardy".

Its seems every Rep. leader of the 20th century was riddled with that paranoia....the other dubya, Reagan, Nixon etc. Maybe that's why Nixon's video clips always show him sweating like a piglet.
