Republican Campaign Slogan: "Screw You Voters, We Care More About BP"
http://www.ostroyreport.com/2010/06/republican-bp-apologists-and-defenders.html

Ever since President Obama convinced embattled oil giant BP last week to put $20-billion into an escrow account for claims arising from the company's catastrophic spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Republicans have become the company's apologists and defenders instead of fighting for the victims facing financial ruin as a result of the environmental disaster.

As boneheaded a political miscalculation as possible, Republicans have let their extremist pro-business ideology win out over common sense, political expediency and patriotism. Their mantra has become, screw Americans who've lost their jobs, their businesses, and their hopes...it's BP we care about, not you.

1. It's not 'pro-business' - but it sure is unpatriotic.

Well, it's not pro-business - just pro-big-business and pro-fatcat.

But yes, it sure is unpatriotic. Sickening how so many people claim to be pro-freedom, pro-America - then act in such un-American ways.
