Heard on Rush the other day that RAT Sen. Ben Nelson (you know, the moderate), says that BIG OIL will rush to drill more in the Gulf and he promises to stop it with a defense rider that will take any additional production and dedicate it to the military.
You nailed it GD, they are showing their true colors in the face of the worst natural disaster to hit this country ever.
Liberals and vile enviralists should be banned from using any petro product directly or indirectly. The indirect would involve any food product or anything else that was brought to market via petro transportation.
