What have Republicans offered in the way...
of solutions for the oil spill? So far all I've seen is criticism, demeaning comments, and trying to make this Obama's _______ fill in the blank with any horrible thing from wars to natural disasters.

Where are the suggestions? Where are the ideas? Have they reached out to see what they can do to help? Even the elected officials in the states that are being pounded by this disaster, do nothing but bitch and moan about what Obama isn't doing.

What I want to know is what the fuck are you doing?

Bobby "smaller government" Jindal, is spending more time on tv complaining about Obama, than doing something. :wtf:

Why haven't Boehner, Cantor, and Sarah "drill baby drill" Palin not offered assistance? No, orange glow is busy on the golf course and Palin is busy accusing neighbors of being pedophiles. But all have no problem, jumping on twitter, facebook and in front of any camera that will have them to tell the real 'murkiins just how much Obama isn't doing. All the while they do absolutely NOTHING!!!

How any one takes these fakes seriously is beyond me.

And the next time, any of them start with "smaller government".."states rights" mantra they should have to watch every themselves criticizing that the government isn't doing enough.

I'm really pissed about this. Why aren't they called on the carpet for this shit?!

I'm not very good at writing, so please excuse the "simpleness" of this.

1. Over the last ten decades what has the Republican Party ever done
for Americans on the par with Medicare and Social Security.

2. I, for one,
I, for one, do not expect Obama to be able to stop an oil leak from a broken pipe a mile under the ocean. I never thought the President was some omnipotent God. I fail to see how he can be blamed for it, politically, as well.

3. further
Furthermore, those who blame Obama for the leak are chowderheads and those who really expect him to be able to fix it are just crazy.

They can call that Monolithic Dome company down in Texas. They have these huge inflatable things they pour concrete onto and when its dry they deflate it and wala, a dome.

Put one of those things down in there and inflate it. It might plus the hole temporarily.

5. I'm with you I don't blame Obama...
for what's going on. I think he's doing all he can do.

As for those domes, you should send an email to the WH and tell them about it. Hell it couldn't hurt..right?

6. Just another morning chore
1) Wake up and take shower
2) Eat breakfast
3) Bitch and moan "Why haven't you cleaned up the mess we enabled?!?"
4) Throw away fact filled section of newspaper and see what's on sale at Target.

7. Why should they? This is a national emergency, not a political opportunity

8. Yes, it's a national emergency...
which should mean "all hands on deck", but instead they use it for political posturing. Their states, and everything else be damned.

Personally, I find it disgusting and reprehensible.
