Stop regulating their industries and then they will have no reason to spend money lobbying politicians.

What they did to the gulf coast? They had an accident. One accident over thousands of rigs used 365 days a year for decades.
Tylenol killed people a while back.
Ecoli seeped into the food chain killing people
Shit happens.
Doesnt make it an ongoing problem.
Hey dumbasses, the cart didn't come before the horse. The reason we have laws is because the private sector did things that were counterproductive to the good of the country and it's citizen's and they caused problems.
Just keep it going, we get it, you want to put the country in the hands of private industry.

This is one of the most naive things I have ever in my life read, and perhaps one of the dumbest, on so many levels. Sorry, but, you deserve that. You are saying, that they shouldn't have to spend money in order to bend regulations, which have been set their by precedent based upon repeated corporate behavior that jeopardize the well-being of the planet, eco-systems, the environment, and people, yet, "because I'm a republican, the only thing that matters are humans, and the world and everything else is ours to be had." Get real dude. Get real about people, about people in power, and what they would do if left unregulated. The damage to our earth would be so much greater than it already is. The audacity for you to say this after the disaster in the gulf is overwhelming.
The major impetus of oil industry lobbying is centered around the nearly $90 billion in taxes that Obama wants to levy on that industry. $147 million is cheap compared to the effects of Obama's proposed budget.
Why are we tax payers propping up the oil companies again?

That's the point. Shit happens, but fortunately we do not usually have ongoing problems with the same shit happening over and over, because we have regulations in place. Obviously you support ending, or at least reducing, regulations and obviously . Why? What difference does it make, unless industries will not live up to the standards of current regulations if they are disposed of in law? As you've already established, even under current regulations, shit happens. You are advocating opening the door for even more "shit" to happen. More people will die because more spinach will become tainted with E. Coli. More medicines will make their way onto the market even though they are dangerous. More oil rigs will fail, more accidents will happen, and more oil will be dumped into our coastal waters.

How many people have died globally due to DDT ban?
The admin has used the BP accident as an excuse to kill an industry... we're feeling the effect here in LA big time. The oil and gas industry employs MILLIONS. The jobs are slowly moving abroad.
The apprehensions over oil prices come as ExxonMobil, one of the world’s largest publicly traded companies, revealed a 53% increase in earnings in the fourth quarter. ExxonMobil’s $9.3 billion in earnings equate to $1.85 per share, higher than the $1.63 per share anticipated by analysts.

You could have been a little less dramatic about this and simply said anything with plastic or rubber contains oil. I know this. It doesn't change my position. Someday, we are going to have to change from oil. IT IS FINITE IN SUPPLY. What do you NOT UNDERSTAND about this? So, because it is HARD to swtich, we shouldn't do it? Because we rely on it so heavily, screw it? Fuck that! We have a responsiblity to this earth and future generations. Yeah, great, we will be fine while we are alive, but what about after we are gone? The Coming generations, the future of the global ecosystem. Your way of thinking is SO UNBELIEVABLY SELFISH! Hence, why republicans are fake.

I want to hear more about taxpayers "propping up" the industry.
Yank?
The budget President Obama submitted to Congress last month proposed repealing $3.6 billion in oil and gas subsidies – subsidies that come in the form of tax credits – in 2012. The White House estimates that repealing those tax credits would bring in $46 billion in revenue over the next 10 years.
