If most Democrats care about the environment so much why do most live in polluted cities?

Question

and Republicans live in clean country air.

Answer 1

It's the fact that they live in polluted cities that makes them want to change it!!

Answer 2

You are talking about country folks - and I've got news for you.. they are not all Republican.  I guess you are forgetting about the big city Republicans who like to drive big trucks and pave over everything and drill for oil.  

Grown up!!  The environment isn't a Democrat or Republican issue.  Its not even a United States issues.  Its a global issue.  Its just that some of us care... and others only care about themselves.  

Answer 3

Those aren't polluted cities, they're trailer parks.

Answer 4

it's their lack of vision that's at issue. In my city (ALL Democrats) the city council changed the dumping laws because one gas station was discovered dumping old oil (which is against the law and they were charged). They came up with a dumping station (used to be able to drop off at any gas station for free). Great idea? It's of course city run, so union rules make it almost impossible to find open, and they charge a small fee. What do you suppose happened?

People dump their oil, wiper fluids, etc, down the drain now. Especially the poor. Those neighborhoods have the worst contamination because they don't have transportation, don't have the fee, and have no other choice.

Another brilliant, failed idea because Liberals cannot comprehend how real people live. Why do they think people will not take advantage?



BTW: I am a Republican in the city.

I care about the environment. Who supports pollution? I simply cannot support a group of emotional people who cannot comprehend reality.

Liberal groups wanted small boaters to apply for ballast licenses that apply to ships. Another brilliant idea that was designed to raise revenue, as usual, and would have done nothing to clean the Great Lakes. Typical extortion.

Answer 5

U really think that Democrats really care about the enviroment!?!?! Republicans do thats why u should vote for them.

Answer 6

Because cities are whereweatlh is generated and liberals tend to be better educated and earn more. Services in small towns (like roads and schools are generall supported by tax revenue from the wealth that cities provide.

There are more people in cites thus more pollution but you country folk provide plenty of pollution too, there's just less of you. Sorry, smog huggers.  

Answer 7

Because we don't run away from the problem until is solved.

Answer 8

Exactly. Because they've lived in a city where the pollution was so horrible they want to see the world cleaner. It's like a poor kid wanting to be rich, but rich kids are already content and don't care too much about making money anymore.

Answer 9

because they need a job?

Answer 10

There is no downwind/downstream.

It will take all of us to solve the pollution problem.

And if YOU lived in a polluted city, wouldn't it be SMART to care about the environment?

BTW...I'm INDEPENDANT.  I don't think EITHER party's leadership is worth a d**n.

Answer 11

Because environmentally concerned democrats have an education and there are no good jobs out in the boondocks.

Answer 12

where are you getting your information?

besides republicans care about the environment too.

Answer 13

I'm voting for Obama and I personally don't give a S**t about the environment. in fact I hate HYBRIDS. Those little pu$$y cars going 55mph in the fast lane of a 65 mph zone.

Nopthing drives me more nuts.

Answer 14

and why do they think that everyone needs free healthcare, the less people on earth the less people to "destroy" the earth, right?

Answer 15

and if democrats ar all enviroment crazy why do people like al gore drive limos i agree with u give me the best answer pleese

Answer 16

Because the Republicans who own the factories that pollute the cities live in the country. But they are too worried about making profits to think about investing in cleaner technologies.
