Democrat News Twofer: Let’s Try to Bond with Mountain People on Green-ness; Biden Green

The LA Times has a piece about how the Dems are trying to wrest the Rocky Mountain West from the GOP largely by emphasizing green issues. Basically, the strategy is to be, like, the GOP makes messes, financial and environmental. We’ll clean them up, because we’re not burdened with their impractical neocon craziness.

Joe Biden It’s kind of cool to see the Democratic party is able to cast itself as the pragmatist, non-ideological one now. The No More Drama party.

Obama’s VP pick, Sen. Joe Biden, gave an interview to Grist this weekend where he flashed his green cred. He was one of the first congressmen to introduce a climate change bill, back in the ’80s. If he can sell his native Pennsylvania on the green-collar jobs concept, and play attack dog on McCain’s greenwashing, he’ll be earning his keep.

    Democrats scare me. How can anyone be so freakin’ stupid that they buy in to the whole Democratic nonsense? Obama is going to ruin this country if elected and we’ll end up just like Cuba.

You can see them wearing Gucci thongs out on the beaches of Malibu and pumps, heels and of course, Gucci leather boots, when they’re out partying, shopping and playing it up for the paparazzi.
