Place your bets here: Predict the Republican reaction to the oil spill.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/04/26/AR2010042604308.html

I think likely ones are:

"The market will regulate itsself to prevent future spills."

"This wouldn't have happened if the dems had allowed offshore drilling earlier, and more of it."

"The oil spill is not the issue here, the issue is the dems trying to politicize it."

"A kenyan mulim communist sabotaged us."

"What oil spill? Nanananannanananananananabeepbeep"

"The problem is overregulation. This wouldn't have happened if the oil companies didn't have all those pesky rules to follow."

"Its Obamas fault."

"We were always against offshore drilling. This is totally a policy of the democrats." or some variation of it like "The dems wanted offshore drilling too."

"The oil spill isn't man made. The golf of mexico goes through natural cycles."

"The oil spill is actually a good thing because it will prevent illegal immigrants from crossing our borders over the ocean."

"Thank god for the oilspill, god hates fag america."

Feel free to add your own.

Note that taxes is any cut given to a governance system, including private sector. Although it is actually an entertaining movie.




I really like this song.

3. I benn watching that movie online.
They added a scene that was not in the orginal version.

at 4:00 minutes to 5:16 part 6/14 they show a scene with Bruce Willis Character talking to his Grandfather.


That scene was not in the original release of the movie. It was added in.

9. The scary part is that I can actually envision Sarah and the other Baggers saying that.
Luckily, I have a good supply of fish oil capsules that weren't manufactured by BP.

7. Exactly the same as the Democrat's response - Silence.
Oil wells do not leak, they need to be drilled everywhere, and anyone who says differently has to do so in a place where it will not be heard.

10. "Accidents happen."
"If the Democrat Party is so delusional as to believe the world is perfect and mistakes are never made, well, that's just their problem. It was an accident, and it's being dealt with as quickly as it possibly can, and if that's not enough for the Democrat Party, that's just too bad."

11. Progress...
That's the only time that verbage enters their jaded vocabulary. Ya see if a few little birds or fish die, well, "that's progress". Same excuse used to clear cut forests and strip mountains. The right wing mindset is that natural resources are here solely for our use and exploitation. If there's "colateral damage"...well "that's progress".

12. And some dems will want to make oil, coal and nuclear power illegal
Edited on Tue Apr-27-10 07:37 AM by stray cat
but somehow will still expect to have plenty of energy for their own use - the right doesn't have a monopoly on simplistic thinking

17. LoL. I don't recall any dem suggesting that.
Clean energy is a possibility and will most likely be pursued in the future.

13. "Oil spills are GOOD for the environment. Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket!"
Two or three days of FOX scrolling that along the bottom of the screen and the sheep will be dumping their waste oil on their garden beds.

16. Al Gore did it.
That radical environmentalist Al Gore did it to make the drill, baby drillers look bad.

Now he will make billions upon billions upon billions of dollars from clean, communist energy.

Its just another example of liberal plants makin' us and our agenda look bad.
