Republican Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) called the measure an “arrogant power grab.”

Hey Jim – I guess the “Waterloo” thing is out huh?

Conservative radio host: Health care passage will ‘do more damage than 9/11′…..

Wrong headline. It should have read:

“Conservative radio Hosts have done more damage than 9/11″

These people who call us a *Republic* yet hate socialism are so devious they scare me. The Union of Soviet Socialists *Republic* and the People’s *Republic* of China were/are socialist governments. W Bush used the word *Republic* a lot, he was a Christian Socialist.

The GOPs aren’t what they seem to be – they’re actually more dangerous than they look.

Nothing like trivializing 9/11. Only a Republican could do this; a twisted, psychopathic, demented person, but I repeat myself.

DeMint want to grab power away from the Dems

It’s worse than 9 /11 x 2012 x the Federal Deficit!

Though the Bill is pretty disappointing anything that can rile the wingnuts up this much can’t be all bad.

The truth will be in the pudding when the public begins to understand (for themselves) whats in the bill. It’s just a shame so many people are so stupid that they can’t think for themselves but at least wait until the final product emerges from the senate to be so fearful.

I’d like to hear from the spouses and children of those killed on 9/11 regarding Boor(zt)’s clever analogy.

Good.

March was the warmest in recorded history, so we simply must get with reality to avoid the extinction of civilization.

Rep. John Garamendi (gooD-CA)

Excellent. Let's hope other politicians from coastline states introduce similar legislation.

Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at Agelessmatch.com, a nice and free place for Younger Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.

It's only fair that California get spilled on once in a while.

After all, one person per SUV is part of the reason we need all the oil and the real reason for the Gulf spill.

Driven on a California Highway lately, Rep. Garamendi ?

OT kinda….
“The Crazy Lady, of whom it was revealed has ties to Big Oil.

“And of whom has ties with criminal elements in Giddings and Tyler Texas (along with Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity)

“And of whom her PAC treasurer runs a shady political dirty tricks organization.
http://palingates.blogspot.com/2010/05/timothy-…

“This SarahPAC treasurer's organization claims to be a non-profit 501(c)(4), but a nonprofit web identity, but “has not registered as a nonprofit, has no board of directors, and no paperwork on file with the IRS or the Federal Elections Commission”.

All of which makes ones head spin at how she's able to go under the radar all the time. MSM pick up the gd phone!!

Ever driven in the south, or southeaset? Lots more trucks and SUV's per capita than anywhere on the west coast. Lots more with one occupant…

Good for him!

Anyone who supports Offshore Drilling is in the pocket of Big Oil. Simple as that. Yes that includes Oil'Bombya

I can not believe anyone would even say that after what has happened to the gulf coast. Are you paying attention ??????? Only thing I can say is you must be one of those HATEFUL RIGHT WING NUTS……. Good God This is our earth bleeding !!!!!!!!

So, are you saying since it's higher per capita in the south, then it's ok if California gets itself a law to protect it's coast, at the expense of the southeast and south?
BTW, I live in the south, work in CA. I know them both well. I fly on planes and drive long distances. I know I am part of the problem.
I took a trip to the Texas coats this weekend and was struck by how much it has been cleaning up over the years. It was much worse in years past. The hotels still have “clean tar off feet before entering room” signs, but there isn't much tar on the beach these days. I suppose that's about to change….

John Garamendi is right to pursue this effort.
The 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill was more than enough for this coast.

If you drive or use oil or medicine or plastics, you can't whine about spills.
They will happen. It's part of the business you take part in. It's important for the left and the right to get that through their heads. This is not a partisan or left-right issue.

Think about it this way, If people see more spills like we do in the Gulf area, don't you think they'd be more inclined to go for alternatives?

Here's a question for ya. Why did T Boone Pickens and his lot have commercials ready and waiting to run during this oil spill to promote “energy security” and “alternatives?”

Answer, they know we'll shift to Natural Gas and Wind he is the largest producer of both.

So, who stands to gain the most from this spill? The guy with all the commercials on Rachel Maddow's show right now. It's a huge business and the more everyone exposes themselves to the realities of their daily behavior, the more our “bleeding planet” will be protected.

Yes, that way we can make sure our oil comes from someone else's coast, someone else's beaches.
Looks like Brazil will be the next major drilling area. Rio covered in oil. Will we need to send troops to Brazil? What do you think? I'll bet they will have an “evil dictator” on the horizon…

I agree I would have thought the VALDEZ should have taught us. Obviously 20 + years we all have forgot the devestation that still lingers in exception to those who had to live with it… I also believe the T Boone Pickens crowd were promoting “altenatives” prior to this horrific devestation that is only just beginning…… I am a proud Oregonian that is fighting LNG off our coast especially now. Have we not learned yet. You all can point blame at who EVER….. Little to late now… We need to all come together and figure this out. It is our earth and we have to pass it down to our grandchildren . How do you want to leave it ? AIR MASK

Hello This is a Partisan issue We just came off eight lousy years of dumb ass and dickless both oil men and thats a fact…… There were preventives that could have been put into place that were not.with this latest incident…. Which talking pinheads have come out since and said we can still drill safely Falin Paline and Bonner Get real The Repug party has ALWAYS been for Corprate America…. Big OIL I swear some of you have got your heads so far up your butts it sticks out your necks and cut off your circulation.

Yeah, electing Congressman Garamendi to Congress was a wise decision! The only way to force development of clean energy is to turn off the spigot of oil, before we so foul our environment that it will be too late.

Uh, maybe before you spout off you click on over to the other RS article about how Obama took in a lot of money from big oil. It was Dems and Repubs alike who voted to continue support for the oil war in Iraq (helping to fix Britain's screw-ups in the region.). It is Dems and Repubs alike who are continually badmouth oil producing countries that won't play the oil game by the Wests rules (thereby propping up prices for those on both sides of the argument.)
This game is much bigger than puny US political parties, much bigger than puny figures from the US like Palin and Boehner.
Bush was bad, agreed, but be careful not to emulate the body image you've projected. Trying to make this out to be partisan will bite you in the butt later when you figure out your chosen leaders are in the game too.

Again dumbass and dickless had a hold of this country for eight lousy years oil men they were… Dumbass words He had politcal power He was going to finish the job (IRAQ) that Poppy Bush did not do. I will give you the Dems voted right with along the pugs They were NEVER given the full facts as to why we went to Iraq in the first place. Those WMDS REMEMBER…..Excuse me I have plenty of air flowing to my brain. But the body image I have of you …your head come to a straight point…. Name me an Dem oil man/woman who are in as thick as dumbass and dickless and the corprate repugs and I'll name you more that arn't

I can see you can't make it through a discussion without calling people names. Sad.
No wonder you are so frustrated.

LOL Give up do you??????

Of course not.
Try here.

You will see, where there is oil, there is money to contribute to campaigns. Where the office is held by Dems, it goes to the Dem. Held By Republicans, it goes to them. It's true Republicans tend to gain better political traction in oil states, especially lately after the last administration and it's mineral leaning energy policies, but look back in time. For example, Texas used to be run by Democrats. The Dems got the oil money.
Going forward, if Dems begin to take control of energy policy, as it looks like they will, they will get the money and the policy formed will reflect that. My hope is that Dems will lean toward oil alternatives in general and not allow the corporations to get them to “shore up” the distribution channels in the process(pun intended), But then again, I also hope for world peace. I've got a proven track record of not getting what I want.

If you want to pick a more contemporary battle to influence, watch your Congressmen and make sure they are keeping the emerging alternatives markets open to competition. They are being pressured to keep the money flowing to the same old players. The Democrats, if they don't watch out, might find themselves guilty of entrenching energy moguls for posterity.

AMEN..
Remember the Valdez Global Catastrophic was turned into just an 'accident' with a Texas Conservative P.R. spin machine.

Do you have a 'Per Capita' link ?

What civilization?
The cruelty and suffering we humans inflict upon each other, this planet, and all its residents doesn't qualify us to survive.
Whateverr happened to peace, love, and understanding?

You're right. The Pickens campaign was already fully mobilized. The spilled oil from the Valdez is still, there just under the surface.

http://www.gregpalast.com/stick-your-damn-hand-…

We don't need oil to drive. Plastics can be made from agricultural waste. Pharmaceuticals can be made from natural sources. It's the oil companies, stupid.

Some people have figured out the art of insulting people without calling names. You do it well. You deserve anything you get back.

nope, sorry, it wasn't my concept. If you find one, I'd be interested in it too.

EXXON: IF PACIFIC COAST REMAINS FREE OF DOMESTIC OIL SPILLS THEN THE TERRORISTS WIN
.

Hey we can agree “World peace ” I am very politcal, that is why I get so hot if your not mad (frustrated) then you are not paying attention… I live in the great GREEEEN state of Oregon We are the trailblazers for among other things the first bottle bill ,inflict fines for littering, womens right to vote. We all own our beach coast line here. Please look up my states Reps voting records. I call a spade a spade….. I do not know your age but I do remember this country before Regan got a hold of it and the “conservative movement” Deregulation, Busting Union Wages for middle class workers. There use to be free medical from your state hospital, Remember state run hospitals It was not socialisum then , College use to be free in the state of California. Look what happened Shrink goverment until you can drown it in a bath tub (grover norquist) So what the dems decided to get a little smart took campain money from big oil we would not be in the white house now. Fight fire with fire . Texas would be a hole lot cleaner if the Dems still had it. Golly if the Dems entrench themselfs with clean energy for posterity more power to them. PS If I sound a Little Angry you damn right I remember what this country was like before the “Greedy Conserative nut jobs got a hold of it………….If the names fit wear it!

What would we use to drive? Careful, I have an electric car. I still consume oil to own it and use it.
Plastics- agreed, in about 20 years.
Pharmaceuticals – nope, not all. Many have been designed around the unique properties of petroleum. Check it.

Hey you forgot the Yellow Bike Program!! Portland! First in the US.

Then don't post it as a 'fact'

I didn't.
Please read the post I was replying to and reread mine.

We believe people should have BOOT STRAPS first before you ask them to pull them up. YEY for the yellow bike program ! Greed Is the desire to possess more than one needs or deserves ……WIKIPEDIA But you probably already know that.

Conseratives hate it when you talk back!

You know it ! This gulf coast spill should have never happened !!!!!

Why just these three states? What about Alaska, which has more coastline than the other states put together? Why not the east coast and Gulf as well?

If I was John Garamendi, I would ask the US military to fly me over the oil spill and see if it is really there, or if someone made the whole thing up to get BP in trouble. Maybe a little oil company competition? Those guys play hardball.

When Congressman Miller was asked to move some of the old Liberty ships out of the Carquinez strait where they have been parked for 50 years, because of toxic rust going into the bay water, he flew over it with a helicopter and took a picture of them moving the boat. Do people lie to journalists? Does the sun come up in the morning? Does the chicken cross the road to get to the other side? I say go take a look at it first before you put money on it, Congressman Garamendi.

George Carlin got it right.

We don't need to worry about Mother Earth. She will shake humans off like a bad cold (earthquakes, volcanoes, sound familiar?) and eventually recover.

Of course, we won't be here to see it.

Maybe we need to take Ms. Palin and shove her face in this oil spill. Let Ms. Drill Baby Drill see what a natural disaster looks like up close.

Oh ..yeah..I get it, having oil spills keeps the terrorists away…
Have you taken this idea of yours to a clinic for the delusional?

LOL, wishful thinking, rest assured Big Oil has enough lawmakers & politicians in its pockets to make sure it never flies.

“Oil'Bombya”? If you want people to take you seriously you're going to have to ditch using childish name-calling.

This morning, the name “Chinese-American – the same family,” the exhibition's organizers, the Chinese American community 100 will introduce the project to the media, the Shanghai Municipal Committee, United Front Department, Yang Du, president of the Shanghai Chinese Overseas Friendship Association, the Shanghai World Expo will be the United States Music on behalf of Friends of the total cost, the U.S. Consul General in Shanghai and 100 people Kangbi executive director Tsui YANG Xu-lan, attended the seminar.

Love the tribalism here. That good old Cali elitism, sometimes well deserved. Don't you guys have oil gizmos right on the BEACH in Huntington beach. I was on the (I think you guys call it a “freeway”) once at one o'clock in the morning and you could have walked faster than the cars were moving.. And it went on for m i l e s. The wonderful and sparkly Mr. Obama (whom I voted for enthusiastically ) just OK'd drill here drill now for the East Coast.. Oddly the East Coast was Left out of big thinkin' Johnny's bill. Dude we don't even have oil rigs on our beaches! YET. So if I get this right…everybody else in the country is supposed to draw this spew from underground so Cali's can park on the Freeway and be “like all green and stuff?” Eh?

You Cali elitist would look half as cool as you think you are if you weren't so parochial.

“What would we use to drive? Careful, I have an electric car. I still consume oil to own it and use it.”

Electric-driven transportation works just fine. Lubricants can and are being produced from biological sources.

“Plastics- agreed, in about 20 years.?

Wrong. Plant-based plastics are already commercially available.

“Pharmaceuticals – nope, not all. Many have been designed around the unique properties of petroleum. Check it.”

Wrong again, o ye of little faith. I used to work in the pharmaceutical industry. It's just a matter of research and development.

I'll go with the ''if Palin is for it, I am against it” decision logic.

[...] to push ban on West Coast drilling http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0505/garamendi-permanent-ban-west-coast-oil-drilling/ [...]

like he said remove ourselves from oil. lubricants the plates causing quakes. generations next will invest in solar fuel see a gold rush. history books take note. like civilization cycles have done.
