Democratic Party Beliefs?

Isn't it kind of hypocritical that democrats are always preaching "Go Green" and "Envioronmentalism" when the majority of democrats live in the massive trash filled cities like NYC, and LA and such? They say Republicans are destroying the envioronment but you find Republicans mostly in the cleanest towns. Now don't get me wrong, I know there are plenty of dems that live by their teachings and are in clean towns. But the majority are in the polluted metropolises. Is this not hypocritical?

    While large cities have more pollution in a small area, in general they are much more efficient.

    Los Angeles and New York have some of the lowest per-capita carbon footprints. The highest are in lower density cities like Toledo, OH and Lexington, KY.

    In high-density areas, people don't travel as far, they use more public transit, and they live in smaller homes that use less energy. Over half of NYC households don't even own a car.

    The real problem we face today is reducing fossil fuel dependence and China, which is a long way yet from being dragged into the 21st century.

    If we can pull together as a people, as we did say to defeat the Axis during WW2, it would be a great thing for all future generations.

    -- Speaking of unborn generations, it's also thoroughly hypocritical for conservatives to be so wild over the abortion issue, and care nothing about global warming. Really selfish of them.

    Well Democrats are for women's rights, the environment unlike the Republicans for drilling oil, world peace, more accepting about other cultures and beliefs, helping everybody by not the wealthy getting richer, expressing who you are, and moving forward with science for health research and outerspace research.

    Stupid argument. Cities are always dirtier, regardless of who lives there. Do you think Dallas TX is CLEAN? LMAO!
