Regarding Republicans and the Oil Spill?

So I heard an interesting argument today and wanted to know what some people think. Before that though, all I have to say on this is that as of right now I'm neutral to the situation. That's in case you were wondering.

Anyway, so I overhear these two guys talking about whether or not this would happening if the Republicans were in charge. One of the guys says That this exact situation would be happening if the Republicans were in office. The other guy says this wouldn't because the Democrats would be all over the Republicans about getting the clean up taken care of immediately. He argues that the Republicans would've already had it done by now and instead of being on day 60 of an oil spill we'd be on day 60 of Democrats grilling Republicans over the resolved issue. What do you think?

    I ABSOLUTELY agree. I cannot believe that the Liberals, who are supposed to be such environmentalists, are not in HYSTERICS over this. (And for once, they should be. It's an absolute atrocity that this should go on 60+ days and he didn't even make a statement about it to the American people!)

    You can bet if this was a Republican President, they would be screaming for blood. If anyone says that isn't true, they are flat-out lying.

    The Republicans are not to blame for the oil spill BP, is! You certainly everyone seems to be those that don't desire to drill on land. You look completely happy to stay based on the oil from different international places that are actually not unavoidably friendly international places! You communicate approximately changing it with earth friendly energies yet are actually not doing something particularly approximately it yet call names to the people who comprehend interior the period in-between we ought to have oil and for some years. Al Gore and his fans yell plenty yet he makes use of up extra potential flying his deepest jet and living in a museum like abode than living by ability of what he says. give up utilising others for off shore drilling while it fairly is extra the Democrats fault than Republicans!

    Well I would like to think that there is some political party out there that, if given power, would have ensured the regulations where in place so there wouldn't even be an oil spill. Obviously I should look elsewhere.

    As for Man #2's statement, I tend to agree. While Democrats really don't walk the walk like they care about the environment, they'd make sure to exploit it ASAP to make it look like Reps don't care about the environment. And to save face, Reps would make sure the spill was resolved ASAP.

    the Republicans don't hate the very people offering viable and proven solutions to the mess, sure a Republican might have also given BP an exemption last April like obama did but regardless they would have not told everyone who has a solution to get lost like barry has

    we need to get everyone on Earth front and center with the resources they need to plug the hole and clean up the spill before more people lose their livelihood

    Source(s): obama wants the mess to get worse so his puppet masters can get him to force cap and tax on the American people which would make them, his puppet masters/owners, billions in the first year alone obama loves seeing white people suffer, blaming everyone else for his incompetence and keeping non union, non government employees from fixing the mess that he helped cause

    Yeah, If Bush or a republican were in office, the media would be all over it and wondering why the oil well hasn't been capped yet and why they dont care about the enviorment and report on the money obama got from bp and how he allowed BP to not follow regulations
