The rattlers' inconvenient truth

A warming climate could spell the end for a protected pit viper in Arizona.

But Political Rattlesnakes Thrive...

In politics, it is just the opposite. Political rattlesnakes thrive in the hot climates of Crawford and Tallahassee. And we see indications that they are driving human beings north, to the cooler weather of, for example, Lake Wobegone, and even Canada.

You are so right, political rattlesnakes do survive and flourish in Arizona just consider the slippery (pun intended) flip flopping John McCain

Also Arizona is a hotbed of Repub thinking so if their snake population dies off they still have all those political snakes.

And if Arizona's pit viper population dies off what do they care about the environment they're Repubs who care about nothing but themselves.

In a hot state they'll just continue air conditioning themselves and growing larger and sucking up all the electricity they can GRAB.

In a state with very little water they just keep watering and swiming and sucking up all the water they can GRAB from wherever they can GRAB it.

As far as their Repub mindset goes they don't care about the environment only their own wealth and political power matters.

This may seem mean spirited to some readers but I am so sick of what the Repubs are doing to America.
