Robert Menendez: Oil Spill Will Be A Political Issue In 2010 Elections

While there are close to 4000 oil & gas platforms in US waters in the Gulf, there are over 50,000 wells.



And get this - BP l!ed to the government about having a disaster response plan, but does that mean that all of the other oil companies drilling in the gulf lied, too? Each was required to file a plan.



50,000 oil wells, and no safety plans.

There is no way that the government (Congress and presidential administrations) didn't know that all of the oil companies falsified disaster plans.



For the government to issue permits, to allow drilling offshore, in ecologically sensitive areas, to let oil companies drill and potentially destroy Americans' food supplies and our source of oxygen (80% of the earth's oxygen comes from the oceans) is an act of treason. It's beyond what Al Qaeda could ever do to this nation.



ALL offshore drilling must stop.

Primary Results: So Much For That Anti-Incumbent Rage!

I know it may be hard to grasp (after more than two decades of political spinmeisters corrupting the English language Americans' minds, public debates by their redefinitions), but words have meaning and the word progressive is not synonymous with Democrats. Many progressives are Democrats, but not all Democrats are progressives.



I asked you what makes you think you're a progressive, not what makes you think you're a Democrat.



What are your positions on issues that makes you think you're a progressive? What's your position on issues that you think are shared by progressives?
