Liberal environmentalists blamed for Calif. water crisis

[Toddsterpatriot]

Former Hewlett-Packard CEO and potential Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina is blaming California’s water crisis on “liberal environmentalists” who are “willing to sacrifice other people’s lives and livelihoods at the altar of their ideology.”

“With different policies over the last 20 years, all of this could be avoided,” Ms. Fiorina said in an interview Monday on Glenn Beck’s radio show, The Blazereported. “Despite the fact that California has suffered from droughts for millennia, liberal environmentalists have prevented the building of a single new reservoir or a single new water conveyance system over decades during a period in which California’s population has doubled.”

Ms. Fiorina said that as a result, 70 percent of California’s rainfall “washes out to sea” every year, The Blaze reported.

“California is a classic case of liberals being willing to sacrifice other people’s lives and livelihoods at the altar of their ideology. It is a tragedy,” Ms. Fiorina said.

“Government has grown so huge, so powerful, so costly, so complex, it is literally crushing the life out of this country,” she argued. “It is crushing small and family-owned businesses, which are the economic engine of our nation. It is crushing possibilities out of people’s lives by entangling them in a web of dependence from which they cannot escape. The weight, the cost and the power of government are literally crushing the potential of the nation.

“We must, absolutely must, get government under control, which means reducing its size and its power and its complexity in really fundamental ways,” Ms. Fiorina said, The Blaze reported. “And that is why I am seriously considering running for president, and will make a final decision over the next month or so. I have come to the point of view that too many politicians have been captured in this system for too long, and they no longer see what needs to be done.”

California Gov. Jerry Brown announced a crackdown last week on residential and businesses in an effort to reduce overall water usage by 25 percent over the next nine months.

Funny how the crisis conservatives denied was even happening is suddenly the liberals fault.

Conservatives denied a crisis? Which one? When?

Heres the RW response to the California problem.

Start with Snark and indifference

"Like OMG the world is falling apart..not!"

Then create strawmen

"California isnt going anywhere. Calm Down"

Then deliver the solution

"Its liberals fault"

Then provide a plan of action

"Hahahaha liberals are stupid"

Texas had a massive drought in 2011 - 2012. I guess the RWnuts forgot to blame that one on liberals.

Is that all that is important to you? that's just dumb bringing up Texas

Hey, welfare queen, since you're too stupid to realize it, the OP politicized the drought.

Just because you're on welfare, doesn't mean everyone is a nasty ass moocher like you are

so get you facts straight or be the liar if you wish

California made their bed voting for lying lowlife scum liberals, they can just lay in it.

It's nickname is now, commiefornia
I left in the 90's before it got this bad. I have a relative there with a business. Haven't heard what he thinks of it all

California thanks you for your contribution- we are a better place because of your departure.

God is punishing the liberals by withholding water. Carly just didn't really say what she meant.

Hilarious. California has more natural resources that rivals most countries in the world. The stupid ignorant morons on the left and the democrat politicians that placate them for their votes.

Holy shit are liberals fucking morons.

Holy shits Conservatives are such fucking morons

Wow- God is really a wierdly vindictive dude- since the most Conservative Californians are central valley farmers- and they are being hit the hardest by the lack of water.....

I think Carly is sort of ... whacko. jmo.

The drought is caused by lack of precipitation.

What a clueless post. We don't have a drought every year. It rains and snows quite at times. That's why we have a network of reservoirs and canals to store and distribute water. Sadly, the Democrats who control the state cancelled water storage projects in the 1970s. We've added no new capacity while the population has doubled. Add to that the lunacy of actually draining reservoirs for Environ Nazi purposes. The water shortage is a Man Made Disaster.

Yes. And the Dems are even more weirdly vindictive in that the illegal aliens they encourage to move to CA end up unemployed due to lack of farm work in the Central Valley.

Thats weird because I heard people saying that the drought and lack of snow is the reason why they are running out of water. I didnt know that the rain is like Field of Dreams and if you build it they (the rain) will come.

Now try again to slip by with that "we have droughts all the time" non sense as if this time is like every other
