Stupidest Republican of the Day: NM Rep. wants to privatize our national parks and forests

They practically beg to be blogged about.

New Mexico Republican Steve Pearce trashes far-sighted patriot Teddy Roosevelt and lays the groundwork to sell our public lands to the Great Excavators:

DENVER, Colorado - A key western congressman declared late last week that Mitt Romney supports his push to "reverse this trend of public ownership of lands."

In a speech to the Colorado Conservative Political Action Conference, Rep. Steve Pearce (R-NM) criticized Teddy Roosevelt's "big ideas of big forests and big national parks," which primarily exist in the West. Pearce told the audience that, if elected, Mitt Romney will help turn back public lands to the states or private entities.

PEARCE: America, each state, the public lands were given back to the states after they were chartered. But in the West, starting with Teddy Roosevelt who had the big ideas of big forests and big national parks, they held that land. And so the next chart shows you the effect on us in the West.

Just understand this is the education. The red is of course bad.

We're starved in the West for education funds because of policies that Mitt Romney sat and listened to Rob Bishop and myself explain when it came to Hobbs.

He knows that if we want to reverse the trend, we'll reverse this trend of public ownership of lands starving education.

And the Koch Brothers, Exxon/Mobil, BP, Black Hills Energy, Excel, et alia cheered this Supreme Moron on.

But who will clean up the land when they have taken every last mineral of value? Who will breath the air poisoned by their secret formulas? Who will drink the water filled with chemical residue?

You and me, taxpaying chumps.

TRex is spinning in his grave as Republicans grow more crazy and greedy and sociopathic by the day.

Now let's go be bipartisan with them!
