Blame Bush for Coal Mine Cave-In

You knew it was coming, didn't you? But, did you know that it would take only one day for liberals to blame President Bush for the coal mine cave-in in Utah?

Despite unions ensuring that miners work in safe environments, President Bush has gone to lengths to gut workplace safety standards and union strength. While the exact cause of the mine collapse is currently under debate, the tragedy has raised important questions about the safety standards of the miners that have been neglected under the Bush administration.

At the presidential forum last night, one widow whose husband died in a mine accident "asked how candidates would strengthen worker safety laws," as mine safety standards have plummeted under the Bush administration.

Why does George Bush hate coal miners? We will soon hear how Iraq and tax cuts were also involved in this disaster. Tomorrow, the Left can invoke global warming as the cause.

There is no disaster so terrible that the Left and Democrats will respect enough to keep them from using it to get votes and money and to blame Bush. Yesterday it was the bridge, today it's the mine, and tomorrow it may be an earthquakes.
