I want to support a Republican administration, but...

Why does Republican and environmentalist have to seem mutually exclusive. They don't as far as I can see, but for some reason the administration has waged a war on the environment almost on par with the war on terror. Here are some of the present administration's jewels:
Gale Norton
Unapologetic sneaky attempts to allow oil drilling in Alaska wildlife refuges, a slippery slope to what, condos and golf courses in Yosemite Valley??
Selling off National Forest land to pay for a budget deficit gone wild.
An attempt to basically eliminate the Endangered Species Act
A claim that we are gaining wetlands, when in fact we are losing wetlands and gaining relatively unproductive and less biodiverse ponds

I would like to vote Republican, but how can any self respecting environmentalist do so with leadership like this?
