States' rights
In this article from 2001, George W. Bush said this to a gathering of Republican governors:
"While I believe there's a role for the federal government, it's not to impose its will on states and local communities," Bush said. "It's to empower states and people and local communities to be able to realize the vast potential of this country."
I guess he forgot the line, "unless of course it involves my friends in big oil, then I'm going to screw you like a $10.00 whore" because today the Bush administration approved oil and natural gas drilling in New Mexico, "despite pleas from the state's governor...to protect the desert grassland from energy exploration."
Can you say "flip-flop"?
