Maybe some of those politicians should lose everything because of an oil company's illegal negligence. Bet they'd sing a different tune about limits and liability caps.

Not much has changed all these years. Those in charge are still telling us to eat cake while they mis-use our resources. A great, informative piece.

I am with Jasmin. Reopen Guantanamo and throw all of them for a five years minimum visit, with no five-stars facilities and strict Marines training regulation to make better human beings of them or to break their spirits so they can't ever raise again to commit malfeasance.

A natural born liar and killer like Palin. She's so concerned for "fair" that she's bending over backwards to kiss her own selfish interests in the ass! While her own 'idiot Joe's' that support politicians like her are losing big time here in the South. But they won't wake up until they too begin to be poisoned by Big Oil's mess--it's coming soon to a beach and wetland near you. I am bitter about what Americans have let happen to us--its not like this is the first time or the last...

Well it's obviously related to what the definition of what fair is-is.

The only people the Murkowski clan looks out for is themselves.

.....she is ridiculous!

She should be forced to share of that 400.000 with the governor of Louisiana to help with the cleanup, Then she should have to pay every citizen, not to mention creatures, that sufferes from this mess a monthly stipend, matter of fact all that received monies from big oil should have to help, after all in one way or the other their collective votes helped also to give big oil exactly what they wanted. I think the real terrorist are really at home, and that base that's being closed in Cuba now, would do well for all of them, they are easily identified as civilian non combatents in dark suits, I could go on, just make me King for a day, ha Great write Ed.

“It just would not be fair,
To raise BP’s Oil Spill Liability.”
Senator Lisa Murkowski,
Republican, Alaska

It's sick, Ed! Thanks for stating the truth.
I don't see it as an attack on conservatives
and if the shoe fits, wear it...it's all about those billions
Sad the greed and lack of care for our mother nature
People are going to suffer from this catastrophe

Stop attacking the conservatives! >:(

You know, I have had that very same idea, starting my own oil company and putting a well in my yard...When I get it going I will hire you to be my green enviromental safety director...e

Sad but true...these politicians sign away their consciences along with their love for humanity and the world when they sign their names as politicians

fee

Yet, she was paid over $400,000 from Big Oil for campaign needs
I have written before that one of our founding fathers once said democracy is a very bad form of government. This is one of it's failures. Is she thinking, "how am I going to fund my next election campaign?"
God bless,
Lew

i suppose when both coasts are ruined, sea is dead and we are all in poverty the oil companies will only turn to selling the oil elsewhere

yeah right, if she askes this "average joe" she would find concerns lie in a different direction!
