Republican US Rep: "This is not an environmental disaster... it is a natural phenomenon" - Polidicks

Which is why I classify myself as independent. I mean really, "HURP DERP LEAKING PIPE NATURAL PHENOMENON!"

My Jedi senses detect a high amount of bullshit in this sector.

[QUOTE=Triumph Forks;22360496]Why the hell are Alaskan politicians so pro-oil? I mean, of all places...[/QUOTE] Because there is a ton of oil in northern Alaska.

There was also the massive tanker spill back in 1989, which is kinda what's getting me. I'm aware there's a fuckton of oil in the arctic

Yes, the earth hemorrhaging money out of it's crust is a natural occurrence. Yeah, since when did fissures start leaking millions of barrels of oil? At the most it's like a few barrels a year. But this guy is plain nuts!

[QUOTE=Performual;22360529]If you don't think injecting someone with the AIDS virus is bad, then I don't know what else to say.[/QUOTE] Right, saying an entire ecosystem dying is fine, that we should do nothing to stop this is fine, but saying the man who wants to stop us fixing an economic disaster should die is a bad thing? Hmm...

What the hell is this guy on?

Uh, hey, buddy, that much oil in the gulf cost, not a phenomenon. Maybe for you since this can hurt the President's reputation, but this is actually an environmental disaster. [quote=dumbass]"Oil has seeped into this ocean for centuries, will continue to do it. During World War II there was over 10 million barrels of oil spilt from ships, and no natural catastrophe. ... We will lose some birds, we will lose some fixed sealife, but overall it will recover."[/quote] Could the oil go through and split/spill because we were AT WAR WITH JAPAN, ITALY, AND FUCKING NAZI GERMANY WHO ATTACKED US? I swear, he made Palin look smart, and thats big. Is it me or are Republicans getting more retarded or refusing to listen.

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;22360256]All Republicans are idiots who deserve to die. If you disagree with this, you are a Republican, and must die. If you don't eat at least two Republican babies a day, you are probably a republican, and therefore must be tortured into confession.[/QUOTE] anyone who thinks like you do dies first.

What do you expect, the Republican party receives 100% of oil company campaign donations. They're all paid spokesmen for big oil.

[QUOTE=General J;22360054]I stopped at Republican. No offense to republicans that have brains, but every news thread here that starts out with "Republican..." makes my blood pressure spike.[/QUOTE] If it starts with "Republican..." or "Democrat..." or "Conservative..." or "Liberal..." or any other political affiliation it makes my blood pressure spike. Especially in cases like this where political affiliation is entirely irrelevant and only mentioned to monger support on your side of the issue.

Subtext! :eng101:

Governor Perry of Texas also called this an act of god.

[QUOTE=MercZ;22361964]Governor Perry of Texas also called this an act of god.[/QUOTE] I remember that. Someone else compared the oil to chocolate milk.

[QUOTE=Lambeth;22361982]I remember that. Someone else compared the oil to chocolate milk.[/QUOTE] Personally, I wanted to see whether he considered the fire that burned down his mansion an "act of God".

You however, still implied it is just for that congressman to die because of his ignorance. Yea, I'm against that kind of thinking. You are siding with the idea that the killing of some guy will somehow offset these issues.

I'm ashamed to live in Alaska. :(

Why can't it be more like this? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV8Aoy8dH-A[/media] :(

I think the Republican party has really lost its gleam. With people like this, it just makes them all look like brainless folk. Why don't any of the Democrats have people this clueless? I'm trying to be fair here [sp](lol)[/sp] but it seems like the majority of misinformation and knowledge failure comes from the Republican party. Oh some people are plain nuts.

I don't think he would say that if Alaska had a shit ton of oil in its area.

[QUOTE=BANNED USER;22363214]I don't think he would say that if Alaska had a shit ton of oil in its area.[/QUOTE] it does :downs:

there is something wrong with letting such people have political power
