I am not talking about the Byrd case. I am talking about his refusal to back Gore's soft money proposal because "he outspends me two to one". He had the numbers reversed. Or his examples of "bi-partisan activity" on the Child Health Insurance and the Patients Bill of Rights. He vetoed each one, one of them twice. I guess he was referring to the bi-partisanship over the fact that Dems and Repub's joined together to over-ride his vetoes... Houston is high enough on the ozone list to where there are enormous pressures to do something about it. There is already a requirement to use special (read: more expensive) formulations of gasoline, even where we are which is about 40 miles north of the Loop. Look, I am not talking about distortions, yeah, they both did that. I am talking about claiming things that were exactly opposite of what reality was. That is known as a bald-faced lie. It's even worse if you want to claim that he didn't know he was mis-stating the truth... As far as the Shrub's environment record, are you aware that he took care of the water quality problem by using his line item veto powers to take funding away from water quality monitoring? Can't say that water quality got worse if it isn't measured. Most of the other things he claimed about the environment, he didn't have the power to do as governor.
