Wasn’t there a poll published just yesterday that showed Zero’s minions would be getting slaughtered in November?
Poll published in an attempt to inflame the drooling moron masses?
And now today, another oil rig splosion?

I wouldn’t put anything past the Chicago thug group currently in Washington.

Right, the Judge keeps turning the ban down...Obama means to see him ‘change’ his mind.

This give Barry the chance to do it right and score big points with the voters. He now knows what he did wrong the first time - now he will play the cards exactly as they should have been played with the first rig.
The media and RATS will give him accolades for his performance. Smells like a set up to me!!

This is the first thing my spouse said when I told her. Obama’s oil rig shut down got nixed by a judge yesterday.

This is terrible news the dems and idiotic Redford will blame Cheney.

Our rigs are being sabotaged!

Why do you think the Norks sunk that S. Korean ship, practice for the Deep Water Horizon! It was planned when Bubba went to N. Korea to pick up Al's two reporters. They are at it again.

Conspiracy theory, I think not! :-)

Let’s see if it is sabotage.

If the BP playbook is our guide, Obama will do 3 things immediately.

1. Send SWAT teams down to the oil rig to impound any evidence of his administration’s attack on our oil industry

2. Demand all oil production in the gulf stop (despite their losses in court)

3. Blame the Bush administration and the Republicans for all damage

So we have a judge that is NOT corrupt?

How refreshing!

Eco-freaks shooting up newsrooms and blowing up oil derricks? Have they infiltrated the industry?

ELF is a loosely organized group. They don't leave paper trails. A guy at the top gives the orders, and the loose cannons obey. They have no problem getting funding, either. Heck, Al Gore (who went mad after the 2000 election) is an environmental megalomaniac worth millions (of very green colored dollars).
