Sarah Palin, the poster idiot-child for “drill, baby drill,” lectured those “radical environmentalists” who are obviously responsible for forcing BP to engage in unsafe drilling.

Republican senatorial candidate Rand Paul simply said with Republicans believe – that this country should focus on promoting corporations and those corporations should have privileges but not responsibilities. The Republican policy, apparently, is “Mine Baby Mine” and “Drill Baby Drill;” taxpayers will forgive “accidental” worker deaths and pay to clean “accidental” spills.

See what happens when you have college educated stooges running our off-shore drilling.

SeaScum: Like Pondscum, Only Bigger! Inaugural award to Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) for backpedalling away from Drill Baby Drill while suggesting ANWR as a replacement.

Lobbyists have been telling Congress that the environmental hysteria is “unproven” and that the “new technology” is safe. The California coast could have been opened up to offshore drilling and potential environmental disaster.

Like watching a train wreck…

Those responsible for the Horizon oil-spill have cut corners and violated regulations, leaving us vulnerable to ecological catastrophe.

Senators should pass a clean energy and climate bill this summer and head into the final campaign push with a real success in hand.

Our love affair with our cars has also been fueled by the devious actions of a few major corporations. The once ubiquitous electric streetcar was driven into the ground by colloboration of Big Oil and Big Auto. It wasn’t a fair fight.

It appears the administration is channeling the McCain/Palin campaign these days.
