"G.O.P. Sees Opportunity for Election Gains in Obama's Climate Change Policy" is the headline over an article in today's New York Times.
This is becoming a tiresome and somewhat reflexive and repetitive trope in the Times' national coverage; a previous example was the headline over the article about the IRS scandal: "I.R.S. Focus on Conservatives Gives G.O.P. an Issue to to Seize On."
Rather than emphasizing the substantive differences or objections conservatives or Republicans have with President Obama or his administration, the Times depicts the Republicans as motivated largely, or almost exclusively, by desire for political gain.
