Interestingly .. there is a 6th factor: Who do the dems hate almost as much as Bush - Halliburton! It turns out Halliburton (aka Cheneys Halliburton) was involved in the construction of the oil rig. Hmmmm ..?? Coincidence ..?? I dont think so.
Deepwater Horizon was constructed back in 2001. Was Halliburton an owner back then or had ownership of the contruction firm in South Korea that built the vessel? And what does that do with an event happening almost 10 years later? just curious to your thinking....
