[Cant trust em]

They are not going to gain points for this.

1. The Stupid Is Amazing

2. do they prefer that the tax payers ante up the 20 billion?

[Cant trust em]

3. Seems like they do. Isn't that weird?

They sure do know who's playing the bills, don't they?

[jaxx]

4. Sure they do.

Then they could stop the payments because they'd want the money to come from somewhere else. The people don't matter to the pubs, only the corporation matters. They're going to help the dems with this kind of crap talk.

5. It's another one of their Terri Shiavo moments

wherein they act like idiots thinking that is what the 'base' wants, but the mainstream is utterly offended.

6. It does sound like a really stupid position to take

but if they're in districts that are dependent on oil, I can see them actually scoring points with the locals.

7. They are, for the most part, insane. n/t

:dem:

8. Gift from the Greedy Oil Party! nt

[phantom power]

9. Only if the DLC can figure out how to frame it. Or is willing to.

I'm not holding my breath.

[Arkana]

10. I don't know how loud their opposition will be.

The leadership is running away from Barton's "apology" to the execs.
