Democratic Underground - Wow. Three LTTEs in the Dallas Morning News slammed Perry for his comments.

Even more surprising, only one of the eight letters about the oil spill blamed it on Obama.

What is God really saying?

Re: "Perry: Too early to point blame for oil spill -- He says offshore areas should stay open to drilling, defends BP," Tuesday news story.
I'm glad that Gov. Rick Perry has informed us that the disastrous gulf oil spill is an "act of God."
My only question: Is God telling us that he is opposed to offshore drilling or just any program supported by Perry?

This disaster is man-made

Gov. Rick Perry recently described the Gulf of Mexico oil spill by saying, "From time to time, there are going to be things that occur that are acts of God that cannot be prevented." This puzzles me.
I'm pretty certain that men and women built the rig, towed it to sea, started pumping, and then neglected to deploy safeguards that might have prevented this catastrophe. This is mankind's folly, governor. God had nothing to do with it.

Forefathers wouldn't approve

I pity our grandchildren and their children for having these so-called leaders, Gov. Rick Perry and the political establishment, serve themselves instead of us. We are mostly to blame for having our own heads in the sand by electing and continuing our support of them.
The only way I see to break from this continuum of having major industries control our lives is to exercise our democratic power at the voting booth, vote out all incumbents and get real lobbying reform by our new representatives. This can eliminate the absolute power of mega-industries like BP and other industry "leaders" who are too numerous to name here.
It is now up to us. Our leaders are essentially captives and in the pockets of these industries.
If we don't act now, we can expect things to remain the same with continuing environmental, political and security disasters for us, plus the mega taxes to pay for these mistakes. Remember this during the next few years at the voting booth, or else just keep your heads in the sand and forget your grandchildren.
Our forefathers would not be happy with our voting record.
