The Governor of Mississippi was on and for the first time I heard....GASP...the truth. He's a Republican, btw, NOT one of those political elite up there in congress above all this wading into the fray and taking a stand or some such.
Barbour said that the WORST affect this has had on Misissippi is the BAD PUBLICITY from it all. He said the beaches are fine, that tarballs come up on the beach all the time, that they are NOT from the oil spill. I live close to two big beaches, he's right. There's tar on the ocean floor, locals know this.
But the admin, hey, it has a message, a crisis it must exploit. The truth be damned.
Barbour also said that the WORST reaction is stop all offshore oil drilling, which the admin is now doing, cause this source provides 30% of our oil. If we stop it, we will be MORE dependent on foreign oil.
the Truth! From a pub...imagine that! The man took a stand, stood tall. Where the hell was Beohner, McConnel...that bunch with the finely placed head hairs?
Miss Marple's right...it will take time but over and over and over we've got to throw the bums out, support those who've not become so enchanted with their elite lifestyle up on the hill, the voters be damned.
Here in Delaware we got Mike Castle, the ONLY pub in the House who voted FOR Cap and Trade. He is now running to fill Joe Biden's senate seat. He is despised by the base, as you might imagine.
We've got a real nice candidate opposing him but did the local pub party endorse her? Oh no...they went right up to Mike Castle, put their fine wingtips right under his urinary aparatus and begged him to please pee upon their nice shoes and tell them it's raining.
It's going to take time and it's stuff like this that has me screaming deep into the night.
The pub party tells me we have to support Castle, that he's better than a Dem?
How?
How am I better off if Mike Castle votes FOR Cap and Trade than if a Dem votes for it?
I’ve wondered why we haven’t heard more from Barbour on this—other than the media don’t want to give him a platform.
