The Democrats have said ENOUGH! They are hitting back at this much maligned oil Company! After weeks of incessant lying, being constrained by the oil act law of 1990, and a whisper campaign to blame this President, the democrats are now DEMANDING BP to pay up.
In addition to the POTUS probably doing an OVAL OFFICE address on tuesday night, the Senate Democrats have a letter signed by 54 democrats(want to bet who did not sign it) asking BP for 20 billion dollars up front. The letter states this would be a good PR for BP(I aggree) instead of them spending mega bucks behind the scenes!
Join me over the jump for discussion:
ON MTP today, David Axelrod told David Gregory that the Adminstration is not a partner to BP. It is strictly a working relationship that will require BP to pay the gulf states(by law) everything it is owed!

So, where do the republicans stand on all this? They stand with BIG OIL. They want to lift the Moratorium of the 6 month pause of deepwater wells. This moratorium was so we can better understand what went wrong(prudent)! But, a Republican Conmgressman now wants to enact a bill to prevent this Moratorium! Good Grief! Anyways here is that article:

The far right is Losing it! They cannot help but to stick up for big oil, it is in their blood!
So, it is off to the elections in november. Can we now draw up the difference between the two parties? We all Knew at some point the rethuglicans would make mistakes... Well, here they are... This is to easy.
