Red states, Republican governors and the oil spill

[AlphaCrab]

AlphaCrab you are such a joke.. Your time is about to be up and then we will listen to you crying over how unfair life is. How the crazy tea party people took over. How all things are decent and sane again. This oil disaster is not political. I don't care who does anything as long as it gets fixed.

My time is NOT up! I have a lot of crabbiness to get out.:angry:

I can't believe you are trying to make this a political issue. :angry:

The political affiliations of the states affected have nothing to do with the fact that BP had no disaster plan, had problems, and went ahead anyway because profit and $$$ trump everything else - including common sense.

Whatever is going at the state vs. federal level, this one is going to be ridiculed for a very, very long time.

Bobby Jindal --first it is limited gov't and no-no to the gov't. stimulus package from Obama--NOW it is urgent--where is the government?... we neeeeed them. What a d-bag (as opposed to tea bag).

ever seen the 'delete' button on your keyboard? :roll: What a d-bag (as opposed to tea bag).

I'm sure its just a coincidence, but the 3 states most impacted by the incredibly slow and understated response of the Federal government are Red states. More than that, they have Republican governors. Even Fla has a Republican governor and was barely a Blue State.

I'm sure that Bobby Jindal's concerns and statements are meaningless to the Administration.

I really wonder what the government's response would have looked like if this spill had been off the coast of California?

Arnie is a republican.
What's the public gonna say when they find out that BP is running looped video because the scene is much worse than they'd care to state.
And why would this administration allow the wolf to fix the henhouse door? BP=Bought Politicians!
My best wishes for Gov. Jindel as he needlessly battles our INEPT Gov't. Really he's waiting on ecological studies of sand barriers vs. an onslaught of oil. Attn. Dumb..ses in Gov't, sand is less harmful than oil.
I fear we're only one tropical storm from ruining all Gulf state's coastlines.
Meanwhile A President is more worried about Gays in the Military. I suppose he ought to take care of those he has the most in common with! Oh and giving Amnesty to illegals too.

What exactly do you think the government should be doing to fix the leak? They don't have the resources, experience, or personnel to do so.

I share your frustration on the red tape that is thwarting cleanup and preventative efforts and am definitely placing the blame for allowing BP to be drilling and at that depth on the government and the lack of regulation (and have no illusions as to why :angry: $$$), but I don't know what else they CAN do to actually stop the leak.

And while I was (and am) pissed at Obama for wanting to increase offshore drilling before the spill, I don't think the spill is his fault or the death knell of his presidency.
