Caller says if we go bankrupt the environment doesn't matter |
|
I saw washington journal and a republican called in on the subject of the gulf oil spill and said (I'm paraphrasing) "We have to start drilling again in the gulf, and pumping that oil. Its more important for our country to not go bankrupt then to worry about if the environment is destroyed."
This is a nice example of republican thinking, total short term, not caring about the long term effects or ramifications. - Its all about me, and what I want now!

3. And they still don't get it |
|
The oil will be sold on the open market, and we'll still be in the same boat we're in now...
Why are Republicans so f**king stupid?

7. The stupidity is caused by putting money above all else |
|
If the value of something cannot be measured in dollars, it has no value to them.

6. The really stupid part is the caller believing drilling will lower oil costs |
|
or do anything to prevent a bankrupt US.
Even if they increased gulf drilling 10,000% it would do absolutely nothing to save us.

10. I think most Republicans are either terrified or haters. They can't |
|
abide Liberal policies because of their(the Reps) fears of "the other" and their hatred. They have been honed by years of RW radio Fox News. They are encouraged by the Corporate puppet masters pulling their strings or Guns/Gays/and Gynecology. They are really just rats in a cage being manipulated. They vote against their own self interests. Pathetic. We will ALL suffer because of these benighted ignorants. IMO
