Mister Orange Boner, We've been paying at the pumps for years.

[Hubert Flottz]

Over four dollars a gallon when Bush was in the White House. As we watched the oil companies and their pals at Halliburton brag about the billions they were raking in. All the while, people in America did without, because you can't buy much gas when your job in in China. Everything we consume costs us more, due to the price gouging/wall street plundering.

I thought the GOP was all for saving money and spending it in trickles. America could save money if we laid off the boozer...err...losers, like you.

Things I'd love to see...An Orange Crybaby with his pink slip.

1. No shit! The various petroleum corporations and cartels have been making RECORD profits for years.

Years! And now that the industry has had the "perfect storm" accident and we are all being told that we, the American taxpaying consumer, will need to help foot the bill. Correct me if wrong, but I did not see the American taxpayer share in those *record* BP profits for all those years, now did I? Of course not! Capitalism at it's finest: share the risk and expense but privatize the profits.

2. Boner's greed based idea excites me too my friend.

The idea that we should pay for this, is an idea that could bring forth the pitchforks. And I'll bet Boner would be the first orange headed chicken hawk out of DC.

3. Right now the powers-that-be are *deliberately* down-playing the true extent of this disaster.

I mean, how can you chide the American populace into paying for cleaning up this mess when it's destroying vast amounts of American coastline. And the area in the Gulf being covered in petroleum is one of the most sensitive and important aspects of the marine ecosystem. The Mississippi estuary and surround wetlands are a MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR to the world-wide marine food-chain. The damage goes far, far deeper than just oil-soaked beaches. The damage being done is, in a word, profound. And no one, not BP, not government, is telling us this.

4. It is a total disaster and there is no way to cover up the damage this will do.

And how about burning off millions of gallons and sending that poison into the air to add to the global warming and to jack up the rate of cancer even higher?

"I wish I had my life back" too...all the way back to 2000 when the oil men hijacked the election in Florida and DC.
