Does anyone think the Hanford reach would have been protected as a national monument under a GOP administration? Bush has said he would look at ways to possibly recind some of the monument designations made by the current administration.

And this point may get me in trouble with my friends who work in the woods but logging on federal lands was at it's peak under GOP administrations and Bush has alluded to returning large chunks of federal lands to the states. And if you like what this state and WDFW have done to protect streams and rivers from unsavory logging practices over the years then Bush is your man.

(Note to Timberman and others who make your livings in the woods: Please do not take this as a general attack on logging. I can't imagine a tougher way to pay the bills. But I don't think the GOP has our (outdoorsmen/women) best interests in mind. They are the party of Slade. Nuf said.)
