Capito says GOP presidential win will be difficult

http://www.dailymail.com/News/statenews/201202230250

"CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Rep. Shelley Moore Capito said replacing President Barack Obama with a Republican will be an uphill battle this year.

But if a Republican wins, she said the mission would be to dismantle Obama-era regulations of the environment and the financial sector.

"If the president changes, it will be the mission: the dismantling of this regulatory environment that isn't just environmental," Capito, R-W.Va., said in a wide-ranging interview Thursday with the Daily Mail editorial board. "

Scary person, this one. Especially when you consider that Obama has shelved some environmental regulation. Apparently Shelly wasn't watching then.

You need to take a more active hand in deliberately destroying the environment...

in the name of GAS. My town is a former working coal mine camp. (183
households) Took 45 yrs. for the coal soot to settle.
Lawdy.....have they ever made a mess. In the town nextdoor, you could blame the landowners for selling their souls, read that Lexus in the driveway, but ours is a 24" transmission pipeline and it is all on Dominion and 650 workers from Arkansas!
