Reply #115: You want to make Dean responsable for things overwhich he had no control. [View All]

[TLM]

then blame him for the results to prop up more baseless attacks and bashing.



I do not hold Dean responsible for Bush's actions in Texas... for the lies in the report saying Sierra Blanca was a safe spot... nor for the federal mandate that such waste be centralized and secured.

It was not a decision between dumping waste in Texas or magically turning the waste into gumdrops and lollypops. This was a hard decision that had to be made, and the waste had to be stored in the safest place.

The facility in Vermont was not enough to store the material safely.

Had Dean ignored this danger and insisted of storing the waste in Vermont, only to have the site leak and contaminate local water sources, I most certainly would hold him responsible for that.

However I don't consider him responsible for the crap that went on in Texas without Dean's knowledge, the site selection process in Texas, nor the existence of the waste in the first place.

Frankly I'm surprised you bashers are not flat out blaming Dean for the very existence of waste associated with nuclear power. In fact, why not just blame pollution in general on Dean, after all he should have done something to solve this whole problem back when he was a zygote, right?
