It seems to me that you are just not willing to listen to anything that would place part of the blame on government. You must understand that the politics of the issue is the blame game. I just heard that BP is willing to shoulder the entire cost of the cleanup. That does say something about them. You must surely admit that if NOAA is as effective as the SEC and the Dept of Education that the regulations for drilling are probably inadequate. You can hardly blame the oil companies for following the rules. I for one just want to see the thing resolved and better safeguards in place for future drilling of wells. It just takes Mother Nature too long to heal the damage and overcome the further damage done in clean up efforts. Win... I used to work for Government. I know how the permitting process works.... please. BP has a good record. Our system is the best in the World. This was an unfortunate accident that will have to be analyzed to see what went wrong. We can't afford accidents to this level. My original point was about an uninformed (and uneducated) talk show host talking out of his ass to a huge audience and feeding them absolute crap.. that's it. I think that I will volunteer to talk out of my ass on radio. And I will do it for far less money. I'm not too proud to work for peanuts! AzWm |

Didn't miss your original point at all. My response, though, is that uninformed and biased lame stream talking heads excoriated the previous administration over the hurricane when the federals were not the primary responders. They all but ignored the heroic efforts of the USCG in the evacuation of over 30,000 people from the NOLA area, because it didn't fit the narrative they wanted to present.
It's a political "opportunity" to tar the opposition. I'm surprised you refuse to see that on the one side but not the other.

Well I see you guys are generally apologists for Hannity stating that "NOAA is reponsible for implementing the oil spill cleanup plan"  Why can't you guys address the thread? I get the right versus left thing... but it's boring at this point. Oh well....this thread got a lot of action... I guess that's a good thing. Oh, by the way...the Earth is flat. I think you need to try to understand something here. I did not hear what you claim Hannity said, so I don't think it would be appropriate for me to comment. That's not to suggest that you have misrepresented his remarks. But I did not hear those remarks first-hand, and accordingly I have no comment. So, my demurrer ought not be construed as an endorsement. |

I did not blame Bush for the Katrina reaction.... although his point man "Brownie" was a real piece of work. I'm also not a BP hater...my hands are dirty, I've taken BP money on one occasion in the past. I would just like to see the truth get out on this spill... so we can make adjustments and avoid a future one. |

What I don't get is only seeing how Hannity responded to the political aspect of this unfortunate disaster while ignoring the same kind of poisen coming from the left. |

Yes Win...look no further than the Oracle's post on the main site.... however, Hannity has a much greater reach...wouldn't you say? As far as "main stream" Left... give me an example re: the oil spill... please no obscure web sites... the big networks or such. CNN (which you guys call left I presume) has done a good job reporting on this I think... |

The jabbering morons on the left, however, is a different story. It was 24/7 political finger pointing. All I pointed out wrt to Hannity is he is providing some sauce for the gander. |
