Re: "No, the liberals haven't really converted anyone...." >>> Never said they had. I only pointed out that the SOLID opposition to Yucca Mountain WITHIN the ranks of the state's Republicans was an example of 'all politics being local'. >>> Politicians usually want growth and jobs (and federal largesse, which amounts to the same thing) for the citizens who elect them... and they swing with the prevailing political winds. >>> Since Yucca seems to threaten the tourism and gambling industries in Nevada (who, not unexpectedly, are in opposition to the nuclear waste dump), which industries collectively are the largest employers in the state... it's not unexpected that the politicians have fallen into step. >>> It's simply a case of 'not in my backyard' for them.
