Here It Comes- Get Lubed Up and Bend Over

[gettingold]

Democrats say they are going to force Republicans to support their Cap-and-Trade tax by attaching it to a bill to regulate offshore drilling, believing that no one would dare oppose such a bill in the wake of the recent Gulf oil spill.

I hate to think it but I am beginning to wonder if the spill was an accident-

the cap and trade was dead in the senate before the spill.

I only hope the rebublicans aren't dumb enough to help dipshit socialize more private industry.

we need more regulations like we need to have syphilis. What we need is for the government agencies which dipshit is responsible for to do their job. He has known for over a year that they weren't so it's as much his fault as it is anybody elses.

With Juan McCain and Lindsey Grahamnesty leading the way, yes, the can "fuck it up". All in the name of "getting along" and "moving forward".

Clever little fuckers.

 

[PlungerPete]

It's hard to enforce what regulations we have now when funding for the departments that enforce them keeps getting cut.

 

[SFC Ollie]

We have to stop this power grab. We are doing little but following in Europe's footsteps when we should be showing them the way. Socialism simply doesn't work, and Cap and Tax is more BS than a little bit.

Obama administration blocked efforts to stop BP oil drilling before explosion

In 2009, the Obama administration intervened to support the reversal of a court order that would have halted offshore oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Obama’s Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, who has long had close ties to the industry, specifically cited BP’s Deepwater Horizon operation as one that should be allowed to go forward, according to a group involved in the court case.

A Washington DC Appeals Court ruled in April 2009 that the five-year plan for offshore oil and gas drilling (covering 2007 to 2012) was not based on a proper review of the environmental impact of the drilling. Only days before the ruling, the Obama administration had granted BP a “categorical exclusion,” exempting it from an environmental impact study for the Deepwater Horizon project.

The American Petroleum Institute, the oil industry trade group, intervened to reverse the court order, and was backed by the administration.

Kierán Suckling, executive director and founder the Center for Biological Diversity, which was involved in the original lawsuit, told the World Socialist Web Site that Salazar “filed a special motion asking the court to lift the injunction, and he cited the BP drilling several times by name in the request.”

In July 2009, the court ruled that drilling in both the Gulf and off the coast of Alaska could continue, on the condition that the administration conduct a study of the potential environmental risks. This study has yet to be completed.

Salazar praised the decision at the time, saying it allowed the administration to go forward with “a comprehensive energy plan,” including the BP project and a sale of leases for drilling in the Gulf.

Even since the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon less than three weeks ago, the Interior Department’s Minerals Management Services (MMS) has continued to grant “categorical exclusions” to oil and gas companies, allowing them to bypass environmental studies.

The administration has publicly announced that no new offshore drilling grants will be issued until a review, to be completed by the end of the month. Nevertheless, at least 27 exemptions have been granted, including one for a BP exploration plan for drilling at more than 4,000 feet. Another exemption was granted to Anadarko Petroleum Corporation for an exploration plan at more than 9,000 feet. The Deepwater Horizon was drilling at about 5,000 feet.

“The same problems we saw under the Bush administration are continuing under Obama,” Suckling said. “The change in political parties has done very little in terms of corporate domination of the political system. Who got to vote on turning over our natural resources to private corporations? The whole system is corrupt from the bottom up.”

The Obama administration’s announcement earlier this year that he would expand offshore oil drilling was a clear sop for the oil industry, as was his earlier decision to appoint Salazar as Interior Secretary. Suckling noted that as a Senator for Colorado Salazar supported the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act of 2006, which expanded drilling. Salazar received money from BP, and when he became Interior Secretary he brought several BP officials on his staff.

I'd send my Congresswoman a message letting her know that I would not vote against her if she opposed this bill, but she's one of the dumb fucking bitches setting the thing up.

She's out in November anyway. Boozman has a healthy lead on this daft, wrinkly old bitch.

Hey...he's gotta raise money somehow to keep those promises to his eurotrash butt buddies in Canada at the G20 summit.
He knows he's fucking toast on 2012 so he may as well fuck America up the ass without the courtesy of a reach around before he's bounced.
