Their claim, "The only people with reason to oppose the rule are polluters who want to threaten our clean water,"
Kind of like their claim that the only people against gun control laws, are people that would use a gun.
Talk about freakin straw men!

Yes my friends, this is lib logic.


Dozens of congressional Democrats are joining Republicans to back legislation blocking the Obama administration's new rule to redefine its jurisdiction over the nation's waterways.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers made the regulation final Wednesday in an attempt to clarify that small streams, wetlands, headwaters and tributaries are covered by the Clean Water Act and the rules that go along with it.

Opponents labeled the rule as a massive "power grab" by the Obama administration that could give federal officials authority over every creek and puddle.

Three moderate Democrats in the Senate and 24 in the House have joined the GOP in opposition, but leave them far from the two-thirds majorities they would need for a veto-proof vote to overturn the rule.
But their support offers a bipartisan vote against the water regulation if they decided to use the Congressional Review Act or another legislative strategy to show opposition to Obama's action.

Democratic Sens. Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), Joe Manchin (W.Va.) and Joe Donnelly (Ind.) signed on this month with Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) and 26 other Republicans as co-sponsors of the Federal Water Quality Protection Act. Heitkamp, Manchin and Donnelly are often skeptics of the Obama administration's environmental agenda.

In rolling out the final rule Wednesday, the administration questioned the motives of opponents.

This has been going on for awhile.  Property owners have been put through hell over having a mud puddle on their property. 
The danger to America is not Barack Obama but the citizens capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.
