HuffPo - Harry Reid's GOP Opponent, Sharon Angle, Says We Should Deregulate Oil Further!

[TomCADem]

The questions for Democrats is whether we are going to work to re-elect Harry Reid or are we going to buy into the media narrative that Democrats are doomed in 2010, and sit back as right wing nuts like Sharon Angle take power:

QUESTION: You have been in support of onshore drilling in the United States as well as offshore drilling, are you rethinking that policy with what is going on in Louisiana?

ANGLE: No. I think that what happened in Louisiana was an accident. They're cleaning it up. We need to go forward and talk about prevention and not about whether we keep it out all together. We know that lot of the problems that have been caused for us with foreign policy and even with our own gas prices here domestically going up is our dependence upon foreign oil.

We have oil reserves and petroleum reserves that we should tap into. And that's a policy that we really need to look at as a nation. How do we deregulate enough to invite our industries to come back into the United States and quit outsourcing their business?

2. This was no accident; it was negligence.

And if she calls what BP is doing "cleanup" then God help us. And our environment...

:grr:

6. Actually, No Clean-up Is Needed According To The Haley Barbour, Rush. Oil Is Natural!

Thus, the U.S. Chamber argues that BP should not even be forced to pay clean-up costs.

3. Another talking head

They must just wind them up and let them just sputter around.

Do these people not understand anything that is going on around them or do they just see
dollar signs in front of their eyes??

8. Not Just A Talking Head, A Real Candidate Who May Be Right of Demint...

...and even more crazy. This is what our political system has come too. The major media ignoring Republicans, and simply reciting Frank Lutz talking points about Obama.

4. Ya because that will save our oceans.

7. She shouldn't even be in the government!

She's so clueless about what happened with Oil Disaster and what it has done to the enviroment, wildlife, working people along the coast, etc.

She even wants to prohibit alcoholic beverages! I enjoy wine, beer and bourbon. Dear Sharon, stay out of my wet bar!
