League of Conservation Voters Dirty Dozen for 2010: Part 3--Three Toxic Tea Partiers

by Neon Vincent

Earlier this week, I profiled three candidates on the the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) Dirty Dozen list who are running for the House of Representatives.  Yesterday, I continued my series with Part 2--Four Filthy Senators.  Both of these diaries described the anti-environmental records of candidates who consistently vote (or promise to vote) against clean energy and natural resource conservation.

Join me over the fold for part 3, in which I profile the final three GOTeaP senate candidates on the LCV's list, all of whom put the Tea in GOTeaP.  I also include a first from the LCV--a propostion has been named to the list, making this a Dirty Baker's Dozen.  Most important of all, I include action items for their Democratic opponents and the No on 23 campaign.

Stupid Goes Viral: Climate Zombies of the Gulf Coast

by RLMiller

They prowl the oily shores of the Gulf of Mexico, moaning for caaasshh.

Their stupid has gone viral.

And if they win, humanity loses.

I'm tracking Climate Zombies: every Republican candidate for House, Senate, and Governor who doubts, denies, or derides the science of climate change. Today, I visit the Gulf of Mexico states -- Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida -- with a hypothesis to be tested against a small coastal state.
