CIMARRON, N.M. -- Larry Dwyer, Oscar Simpson and Alan Lackey are lifelong Republicans who voted for President Bush in 2000. They agree with many of the president's policies.
But they won't be voting for Mr. Bush this year, they say. All three are elk hunters who spend much of the year anticipating outdoors vacations in New Mexico and Colorado. They argue that the administration has bad conservation and wildlife policies that threaten what is dearest to them: public hunting grounds.
Bard comment: these guys are real Republicans, but they've seen the ground truth of the environmental policies of Bush, despite the Orwellian warm and fuzzy titles, like "Healthy Forest Initiative".

Bard, right on! "No child left behind" is another one of those. It actually means: "Leave all the kids behind in any school that doesn't meet the standards by pulling away their only hope of bettering themselves-- funding for good teachers."
