Yes, the Sierra Club endorses Republicans--it is a non-partisan, but
politically active, organization.  This is not news, except to those who
stereotype all environmentalists as liberals.  I'm a Sierra Club member,
and i would happily endorse the two Republicans reps in my state (out of
about 13) who have strong records in this area.  The major goal of the
Sierra Club is to protect the environment and enjoy it.  There happen to
be a few Repub US reps (less than there once were, but now growing in
numbers) who actually vote sensibly on environmental protection.  Some are
even leading the fight against the short-sighted destructiveness of Newt
and the wise-use gang in the House.  Some Repubs, especially eastern and
midwestern ones, are wising up to the fact that there is NO PUBLIC SUPPORT
for gutting environmental laws, because they are getting blasted at home. 
Others will only understand when they get voted out.  BTW, how do you know
what the reasoning for not endorsing Liddy's daughter was?  Perhaps you
made that up, as propaganda.  I happen to know these decisions are made in
meetings with SC members only, so how would you know?

I have not seen Mr. Bashford's other posts (perhaps in other groups?), but
it doesn't take a Dr. Freud to see how Rush scapegoats--liberals,
environmentalists, Clinton, you name it.  He's exactly right about that.
