In fact, an entire campaign has been mounted, Cap and Tr8tors, to rally conservatives to get the Republicans out of office. A slew of derogatory press has surfaced, and talk show hosts like Rush Limbaugh have been scathing in calling for their heads.

And some people want to gloat about their moral superiority and do things better than their neighbors. People 'go green' for a lot of reasons.

I'm not usually one to intermingle stereotypes and clichés, but that saying about there being a bit of truth to every stereotype? Well.
