The big liberal sites, like Huff-Po have yet to pin the spill on BP, though they are, er, were the owners of the rig--so "principals", right, in legalese. <br /><br />The principals are always the responsible party, are they not, even if the shoddy work of one of their sub-contractors (like Halliburton in this case) was one of the reasons for the disaster. <br /><br />BP contributes 1000s to big Demos, however--including ObamaCo, and Landrieu the LA sen-gal. Ergo...the HuffPo sort of centrist demos--or the bozo-crats of bay-area site <a href="http://new-worlds.org/blog/?p=5753" rel="nofollow">New Worlds</a>-- are reluctant to criticize BP, one of their corporate sugar daddies.

Not bloody likely.</i><br /><br />Agreed. And doing some searching, you find these disasters are quite common--imagine a major earthquake off of like Santa Barbara, where there are quite a few platforms--the platforms explode, and the coast would be inundated in days (along with other massive destruction).<br /><br /> Yet...Obama has said he will continue to push for offshore drilling. For some time, Dame Feinstein held to a firm no-offshore drilling line --then she waffled after ObamaCo and other demos agreed to some o-s drilling. <br /><br />Following the BP accident, the Demos are back to the "don't blame us" game--when they are hardly different than the GOP in regard to their pro-petroleum stance. <br /><br />(I have a few posts re petroleum racket and peak oil on my blog).Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567400697675996283noreply@blogger.com
