Think Madison Avenue and advertising and all those pretty "we are the greenest of the green" ads that BP was running ad nauseum up until about a month ago. Haven't seen any of those lately. I wonder why.

But anyway, the main stream media has begun to turn on them now. Their lies are no longer being delivered as gospel. They still give them equal time, but they no longer have the stage to themselves.

This goes way beyond political party. There are people beholden to big oil in both parties. And we have been the losers. Time to put an end to that.

That said, I strongly believe we will find far more allies among our Democrats than within the other party. The other side sold out their souls such long, long time ago that they don't even remember doing it.
