A Republican Apology...

Oh to the Big Business that they so dearly love, 

a moment we all can treasure;  APOLOGIA

the spirit of a political party  on display.  

Just like the rupture in the belly of the Gulf of Mexico, the true nature of a thing is revealed in the most dramatic terms. YES, the Republican Party values its corporate sponsors greater than this country, greater than the value placed on human life.  As if to them, life is unfortunately common, billionaire donors are unfortunately rare.  Well, let's see...if a man dumped 500 million barrels of oil on Joe Barton's lawn, he would apologize to the man if we demanded he pay for the clean up, or for the neighbors properties that then become toxic, cancer causing hazards...right Congressman, an APOLOGY TO THE MAN WHO POISONED THE LOCAL ENVIRONMENT. 

It is important to remember, the oil companies do not own the oil, the oil belongs to everyone, it was made by the Sun and stored in Nature's vast undersea storage facility, the energy of the Sun... the oil companies simply get it and sell it back to us for enormous profits.  So it is not too much to ask that they do it carefully and prudently, and--if they make a mess, have a plan, resources for fixing it.

A bailout, a shakedown, ohh... the agony of making a rich donor pay a small price for an unfixable damage to the world.  So revealing this is, the true nature of the bungling oil industry, how willing they are to risk the assets we all need for survival; and how utterly contemptuous the Republican Party has become of the intelligence of the American People.
