GOP: Guns, Oil, Pollution

I truly believe the GOP is not only the whore of industry and the super rich, I now believe they are so far out of touch with America they are harming it.  Just 3 examples:
1) Florida's new gun law includes making it a crime for a doctor or medical staff to say anything negative about guns, or to discuss the dangers of guns in any way or circumstance.  Wow.  Who's your daddy?
2) Yesterday the House voted to block funding for section 526 of the Department of Defense bill.  This section deals with buying alternative sources of energy.  The Pentagon is trying to move to energy self dependent bases and fighting units.  Elimination of the supply line is all important.  Lengthy, expensive and vulnerable supply lines are the achilles heel of any army, just read a little military history.  The GOP is not doing this for the men and women and assets in the fight, the GOP is doing this for Oil.
3) TX GOP Joe Barton, the dork who appologized to BP for the way people expected them to clean up the gulf oil spill, poor baby.  Now Joe who claims mercury from coal fired power plants is not a health problem has a new bill coming forward, this bill is against CFL's, because they have mercury in them and that causes health problems.  Manufacturers are improving these lights all the time, they currently have so little mercury in them if you broke it, stood in it for 6 hours you absorb less than eating one fucking can of tuna.  This bill's purpose is to make it illegal for states or local governments to set any efficiency standards for light bulbs.  Wow, that is important to this nation.  No 40W to 100W incandescent bulbs are made in the US any longer, GE closed it's last plant a year ago.  What the hell is he doing, trying to help foreign old style bulb makers, and of course I know what he is trying to do, he is trying, like all the GOP he is trying to keep our energy use high, which means you will pay more for the same light, keep that coal and oil burning, his pimps demand it.

  1. It is all about money and will always be all about money until we get strict laws on lobbyists and those who take bribery money from them. The assholes we have up there don't represent We The People; no, their votes go to the highest bidder.

  4. Who's Your Daddy is right.

    Can't see the Florida law standing however, as I think it'll get overturned as a violation of 1st amendment.
