They hijacked the now defunct Democratic Party in the 1970s. They are the EPA mentors.
Watch, after a Romney victory, any talk about reining in the EPA will be met with leftist/MSM screeches of
“stripping environmental protection”
and “promoting pollution”.
The EPA needs to be turned into nothing but a display case filled with examples of economic destruction at the Smithsonian.
Romney should address this in his Tuesday night speech, saying his Executive Branch will refuse to enforce any of these new regulations. In his inauguration speech he should grant continuing pardons to those that violate these new regulations. He should tell the courts, to paraphrase Jackson, go try and enforce your order, the executive branch including the department of justice will neither enforce or prosecute.
Just curious if anyone knows what’s the procedure to abolish a federal agency like the EPA. Has it ever been attempted before?
I suspect the President could do a lot - such as refusing to appoint key members, refusing to spend the money Congress allocates, etc., but all that could be reversed by the next administration. I assume it would take action by Congress to completely eliminate an agency permanently.
Tell all your liberal friends that skyrocketing electric rates are necessarily part of Obama’s plans.
And yet, there will be those in coal states, that work in that industry, that will vote Obama.
Ya just can’t make this stuff up.

what is the procedure for getting regulations overturned
And West Virginia is about to re-elect a RAT Senator Manchin. Unbelievable.
WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE PEOPLE IN WEST VIRGINIA THINKING? RATS pretend to be anything—then they vote Communist. What’s not to understand here?
re: “ But if Romney wins, regulators will have a very narrow window to enact a select few costly regulations that would then be very hard for a President Romney to undo.”
I don’t like “executive orders” generally because presidents use them when they can’t get congress to do what they want, thus often circumventing the Constitution.
But, in the case of a government regulatory bureaucracy that has no Constitutional authority for its existence, I have no problem with the president issuing an order to that particular department to cease and desist in regard to a particular act or actions that department is attempting to implement.
All Romney has to do is to issue an order to stop those regulations from being implemented.
These coal states voted Obama in 2008. Isn’t this what they wanted?
You know what? It’s time the EPA was scared of us for a change.
Oh you guys are too harsh. There’s nothing wrong with the EPA, that eliminating that agency entirely wouldn’t fix. ;^)
I recall a statement made by Obama in reference to coal fired plants.”They can build them,but they’ll go bankrupt in the process”.Can’t remember when statement was made and doubt quote is verbatim but that was the essence of his statement.Does anyone else remember statement?

Oops-double post.Major connectivity problems today.Is it just me?Or anyone else experiencing problems?
Is that strictly up to the EPA or do they have to go thru congress?
If just the EPA, can Romney rescind any regulations they may implement?
Unfortunately, there are EPA’S, or EPA-like entities, in every State. The dirty little secret is that the Federal EPA, along with the States, actually fund the envirowackos to ‘study’ the environment and ‘recommend changes & regulations. This also needs to stop. We, and most life on Earth, are CARBON-BASED lifeforms. The envirowackos have managed to so bastardize science that now CO2 is considered evil. CO2 is PLANT FOOD!! Our schools now teach this envirowacko crap & brainwash our children that their parents are destroying the perfectly-balanced Gaia simply by living. Is it any wonder Paul Erlich is still considered a ‘wise sage’ at Stanford University? Everything in his book the Population Bomb has been proven false many times over, but the wackos still honor him, because he continues the meme that America, freedom, and free enterprise are all to blame for the trumped-up tragedies that in reality have not and never will, injure our environment.
Just as prolifers are no longer allowed in the DemocRAT party, anyone who does not spout the envirowacko meme is not welcome.
