36. Republicans Hate Trees
One reason Democrats don't do well with blue collar workers is because many think Democrats would sacrifice jobs and low-cost consumer goods to protect a few trees.
========
The problem with that short sighted point of view is that we have already depleted most of our forests. Unless the republicans want to cut down every single tree in the remaining forest lands, I suggest that they start thinking about conservation for once. If a person can't make a living without cutting down trees, that's not my fault.

We have already given up most of our forests to the timber industry. It has to stop somewhere.
