one fact needs to be repeated. barton did not defend BP. He did defend the constitution which USED to be something that dems were concerned with doing when bush suspended habeus corpus in order to keep us safe.
And its no wonder that not only are dems NOT demanding that Bob ethridge resign anything after assaulting a teenager on the street, but the main stream media wont even report it.
three years ago if I told you that bush was going to take control of Gm , fire the ceo and replace him with a crony and THEN tell you that he was going to tell a private corporation to pony up 20 billion or he would take it from them as reported by the new york daily news as threatened by the vice president, you would have gone into convulsons of anger against the party of no and the party that terrorized old and poor people.
what bp did is inexcusable, and should pay out the nose for it, but do NOT forget the motto of this white house.
“never let a crisis go to waste”
How is that relavant? Bart stupak has already begun talking about using this money on health care.
