...They're getting more desperate each day. And they can't spin this away:

Obumbler- Biggest recipient of campaign contributions from...BP

Rahm Emanuel- Lives rent-free in the basement of...a BP advisor

I knew they were going to use the oil spill and try to pin it on the republicans. Of course, Joe Barton did his part too.

the more the rats try to politicize this the more they are in trouble considering:

1- their members were the top recipients of campaign $$ from BP...

2- oil continues to spill into the gulf destroying the area while this incompetent administration has no plan...

3- new stories crop up almost daily pointing to the fact this inept administration knew in advance about the potential of this disaster and did nothing...

4- zero continues to play golf while the gulf self destructs...

of course this assumes the GOP turns the tables on the rats and use these talking points...not to hopeful in that vane...

They should probably wait to see what O does with the cash before they defend the slush fund too ardently.

If history is any teacher, it won’t go to the people who need it.

Even though we understand and appreciate what Joe Barton said, you know when he opened his mouth it was a gift
to the Democrats to take the focus off of Obama and his Golfing, parties, etc.

You have to have the smarts to work against the Dems

OBAMA (the ‘empty suit’) and the RATs (clueless AHoles) have ZERO credibility left with the American people (at least the intelligent ones), and are now utterly grasping at straws (and ‘straw men’) like they did against Bush when the country swallowed their toxic deceptive campaign ads.

I think not, that the country will swallow again, from the same toxic waste they are desperately trying to shove down our throats.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Why don’t they just run on how great things have been since 2007 when the dems took over congress?

The socialists are really delusional to think that such a lie is going to work. Really pathetic.

“I knew they were going to use the oil spill and try to pin it on the republicans. Of course, Joe Barton did his part too.”

Who knows- this might turn out to be another Joe Wilson situation: initial
condemnation by the Dems; panicked apologies from the GOP... But eventually people realize he was right and he grows in popularity.

Beg to differ ,the public will Buy it because the Republicans are running scared and will not defend what Barton Meant so they will be perceived as Guilty.
They can say Barton was wrong in saying he was Apologizing but he was Defending the rule of Law,we are a Country of Laws not Men and when a Catastrophy Happens you cant sell out your Principles,the President is acting Like Hugo Chavez a Tin Pot Dictator.
For once lets act Like Americans,we can use the system to Punish The Guilty but lets not have a Lynching.
If the Republicans are not going to Stand up for America Then They dont deserve to be in Power anymore than the Banana Republic tyrant that we have now

It’ll fail.

The fact that Bonner and Miller have come out against Barton blows the hugest hole in the argument.

I’ll say this for Jo. It took 8 years but he’s finally making a name for himself.
