Drill baby Drill

[Cecilie1200]

Apparently, this oil spill is the first experience many leftists have had with the concept of "shit happens". Now, I guess, we're never allowed to do ANYTHING where there's the slightest possibility of anything going wrong. If it's not perfect, it can't be done.

There's something like 4000 rigs that have been drilling the U.S. outer continental shelf for years, and prior to this the last major spill accident was when?

So the lefty response is to now turn the whole industry upside down and inside out. That's a great way to lessen our dependence on oil that comes from half way around the world. Bunch of morons.

What really amuses me is that they claim WE are the ones with no perspective on the subject.

McCain said it. Palin seconded it. That was the difference between them and the other side.
George Bush being a former oil man, said let the oil companies self-regulate the off shore drilling.
Dick Cheney, former Haliburton president. Is it not a surprise that Haliburton is in the middle of the current mess?
Obama authorizes Off shore drilling. He did try to find common ground with the conservatives.

Drill baby drill, self-regulate, let private corporations make the rules. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Drill yes. But not with the reckless abandon of drill baby drill. Not without GOVERNMENT regulation. Not too much regulation but we see the result of not enough regulation.

Once again the far right has shown to be wrong with real world results.

Obama is an oil man too... he got the most money from BP for his campaign... he also opened up more areas for off-shore drilling... he also didn't change any of the regulations....

So we can hold them all responsible?

Yes, the left is correct on this. Because we've seen over the last 60 years that government regulations, mandates, bans and initiatives fix and prevent all problems and result in nothing but utopian efficiency. Just see:

Gov't schools
Gov't roads
Gov't DMV
Gov't healthcare
Gov't housing
Gov't food stamps
Gun bans
Saggy pants bans
Welfare
Probation and parole laws

Yep. All of the above are run efficiently and with high quality results. Government regulation will fix and prevent all problems.

You forgot the great job the government is doing running social security. This system is running so efficiently and will never go broke this month!!!! can't say this for the future.

This spill is
OBAMA"S Fault!!!!
