Weird, your average wingnut troll can't even be bothered to check the factual basis of things he read on FOX, Daily Caller, or DrudgeReport.

But of course, nothing can be done at the EPA until a random wingdoodle does some "independent analysis and substantial reproduction of research results" or something. Plus, that kind of "Science" is absolutely cost-free and can be done by your average schmoe with shit you can find at Home Depot.

It's not specific how "transparent" this data/sciency shit has to be, in order to meet the bill's requirements because, you know, uh, "reasons." About 20G's apiece worth of "reasons" by the Koch Bros, Freedom Project, and Citizens United, dropped into his campaign coffers.

So surprisingly, there is a 2:1 difference between energy company lobbyists and those working for universities or science-related groups lobbying this bill. Of course it's the dirty scientists who are totally there to make sure that lies from the pit of Hell keep getting all that big $$ grant mo-nay to say things like "pollution is bad" or "methyl mercaptans are deadly, don't put them into your lungs."

More of that quality Republican "Governance:" where you block shit up any way possible. Good Job, America. You deserve it.

Have the Republicans realized that under current law, the EPA considers "secret" "science" "studies" from the oil industry asserting safety when deciding that fuck yeah they can pump whatever random shit they want into the ground as long as they remember please to call it "fracking"?

Yes, there is. And if you pass it, you can't vote.

Hold your horses!

That would rely on the assumption that the sky is not an elaborately painted ceiling.

By "examining the data", I assume they mean "bully, threaten and intimidate the people who compiled and analyzed the data"?

Secret science is where the money's at. Find the cure for cancer or the common cold, and Big Pharma will set you up for life.

I don't know about you, but I'm not comfortable accepting any scientific report before "BigWanker75" has a chance to review it. I think we all remember his insightful commentary on Feldman's "Study of the Effects of Warming on the Polar Ice Caps", when he said: "You Harvard homos don't know shit, if God wants ice he'll give us ice."

And let's not forget "GunsnBalls67" who blew up the EPA's findings on water safety with his simple discovery that,"Hey if you don't like the water from the tap you can buy a case of Poland Spring for a couple of bucks at Walmart.

We need to remember these unsung heroes and their great work or as in the words of "YourMothersBox89": "You Libtards are too scared to post my stuff, RON PAUL 2012"
