They want you and me to pay for this disaster by keeping BP's low liability limitations.

It's mind boggling how twisted this is. They complain about bailouts and now they want a bailout that isn't about saving the economy or helping America in any way.
It's about keeping profits going out to the UK.

Instead of using BP profits to help fix the horrendous disaster they have created, the money will fly overseas to help British executives keep their mansions in the Royal Borough of Kensington.

What the hell are they thinking?

If the Democrats can't use this insanity to their advantage, I give up.


-- Well actually I gave up a long time ago but what the hey, I'll do it again.

1. Shrug, never give up.

I just realized an error in posting.

I do speak on justice, and I think there should be justice, but their is also mercy and grace, people should not fear their past if they make a clean start in their future.

Although if oppressed for a long time, it is really tough battle when claiming free will, since things will try and hold onto the person.

But anyway, don't give up, but don't get depressed about things.



I try to think and feel the people working on better fixes for problems will keep things moving in better directions. However either the media has gone off the deep end, or their is a PR campaign that is pretty disingenuous, or something else.

But people are mostly good, so it will get better.


I think on being responsible for what I feel and think, and not the choices made by other people, that helps keep people out of despair and protects from temptation of stealing free will.

2. If they get enough Dino's on board, the republicans will vote No to their own proposal.
And use the insanity to their advantage against the Democrats.:eyes:
