c'mon Rachel... how about focusing on Haliburton's role in CAUSING the blow-out??
How about focusing on Cheney's waivers allowing no blow-out preventer (saving $500,000)
Its all too easy to blame BP... but there's MUCH MORE to this than just finger-pointing at the OBVIOUS culprit, when tthere are plenty of candidates out there who may be even MORE to blame.
Meanwhile... perhaps keep an eye on what the 'Powers that be' & what they might be doing while everyone looks the other way at the oil spill
But Rachel... i still have the same problem i had when congress went after ACORN last year... why doesn't both of these laws go against the constitutional bill of attainder clause?? I know you know the law... bill of attainder!
@Foderick she is a Jewish Zionist, she LOVES to DESTROY the US and the constitution......along with morals and heterosexual values..........having kids is soooo passe' right?
@MaxMyrmyr sorry, ur a little late to the party. ACORN has been cleared of all wrong doing. The FBI and the district attorney said the tapes were heavily edited and doctored. He did NOT enter offices as a pimp and he changed his story of aid heavily for the tapes. Each ACORN employee who came in contact with him reported there convo's with their bosses or called police after concern for his well being or 4 someone he claimed he was helping in her stories. Please google. thx
@nuumskee did you personally clear ACORN of any wrong doing, and did you watch the tapes? by the way our government was also initially cleared of any involvement of MLK's murder, and later while everyone was watching the O.J. Simpson "trial of the century" the real trial of the century was never covered by the media, the result, Dr. King was assassinated by a conspiracy that included agencies of his own government.
or you just watched wut Fox news showed you. she went over the tapes very carefully, actually examining them, which parts were edited, lied about etc, was only a few weeks ago.
@deveousdevil I don't watch FAUX news, but I did watch the original edited tapes without additional editing by the reviewer. What some of the workers said was enough evidence for me, even if they "all" supposedly called the police after. There was only one worker that did the right thing, almost everybody here is still stuck in the left right paradigm, it's an illusion, and a distraction, neither the right or the left wants to talk about this in depth /watch?v=mPh7sUvhZ3E
@BeantownJim OK, he is ok... takes money from suspect groups and have some civil liberty conflicting corporate interest issues. He would do away with OSEA, MSS, EPA, and the like. leaving us with more mishaps, spills, food safety issues, mine explosions; but we have that now don't we? due 2 the fact that gov has outsourced everything 2 private interest for years, pay pennies 2 regulators which kills motivation,& no 1 on any side goes to jail. Anyway, who would be Pauls challenger ?
@LiberaLib That's a lie There wouldn't be 2/3 rd's of govt' now If Ron Paul was President! Nor would there be 140 000 lobbyists Like obama promised and lied about!
@MooseOfReason no, that is not defunding of our tax dollar sir. that is just a lost of investment capitol on a global scale. They could down size as a result if it keeps up because these funds are used toward paying stock holder dividends, research, splits, and expansion. however they will continue to do well with the amount of tax payer subsidies from us and other countries on top of the extra funds we give them for various other projects.
Public stock is plummeting, but they still have billons of dollars garunteed to them through US federal contracts. Unless these are terminated (which doesn't technically require any sort of law) they will continue to recieve funds for doing exactly what they have been doing.
To defund them? That makes no sense. If we're paying them so that they can afford the clean up, it's really us (American Tax payers and their children) who are paying for it. We should defund BP, THEN force them to pay for the cleanup out of pocket. Of course we won't, cause big business has our government in its back pocket.
The whole of Big Oil has to be cleaned up not just BP. As yet it hasn't been established with whom the culpability for this disaster lies. BP is taking responsibility against a background of government failures to regulate and monitor, and ensure the means to respond when clean up is necessary. Kicking BP may be popular but right now it's not the thing to be doing. The US has to pay more at the pump or run these risks.
Isn't the House & the Senate controlled by the Democrats ? Not to mention the Presidency. But it's the Republicans that are at fault ? LOL !! I guess EVERYTHING is the Republicans fault. LOL !! This fake left/right paradigm is a bad joke. Both parties are in Big Oil's pocket.
People need to boycott BP. They should have their gas stations protested with signs to persuade people to buy their gas someplace else. BP should pay all the clean-up and the say good bye to them. No more BP in the U.S. Let them sell their gas someplace else.
@deveousdevil why would he do that? its not even logical to do that. he would have been accused of siding with poor blacks and played right into Repub hands. I dont think any president is going to stick his neck out for the poorest. Maybe Carter but he got fried for even trying to talk real to the people and Private industry will NEVER allow someone like that back into the white house. U better be pro corporate power or nothing at all.
@agitcam Cheif election clerk for honolulu hawaii in 2008 declined barrack hussein obama the right to vote! Due to not having a original birth certificate! It's all over the web! In a short amount of time it will be viral
@BeantownJim please stop. just cut it out. i cant believe u guys r still pushing this and we have way bigger fish to fry. replacing him now will NOT stop corporate run interest over our gov. We havent had a president free of their heels since Roosevelt maybe. Show some courage and look at the bigger picture. NO leader will be free until we get private industry OUT of government. Separation of Church and State is just as important as Separation of Private & Government interest.
@BeantownJim no, u see that is exactly the point sir. U have a plan A. but not a Plan B,C,D, etc.. It's based on emotion & very little logical pragmatism or FACT. *sighs* Which is why this viewpoint will remain n the minority along with the 911 truth-er crew. Who among u will stand up against corporate greed & unchecked private industry as they suck all of the liquidity out of the poor & middle class up 2 a handful of pll & expect us 2 remain content? I await ur plan B plz

BP is already being defunded. Their stock price is plummeting, and they have to pay to clean up the spill.
Why is legislation needed?
If you want BP defunded -- and believe me, they deserve it -- it's happening already.
