 WASHINGTON  (AP) - President Barack Obama's chief of staff is warning about what might happen if Republicans—who have defended BP  over the Gulf oil spill—were to run Congress after the fall election.

Rahm Emanuel says the GOP philosophy is to paint BP as the victim. He says Obama will make clear to voters the fundamental differences in how each party would govern.

Emanuel tells ABC's "This Week" it would be "dangerous" if the GOP held power in Washington.

He says GOP lawmakers and candidates are attacking the administration for demanding that BP set up a $20 billion compensation fund.

Last week, Rep. Joe Barton apologized to BP for what he called a White House "shakedown." The Texas Republican later stepped back from those remarks.

This shows how seriously desperate they are. And it also shows how stupid they think we are. They pick ANY statement from ANY republican that they think they can run with, and paint it with a wide brush like ALL republicans agree, or would govern from that same perspective.

What they're REALLY worried about, and have somewhat backed off of, since they are being made look like fools, is the Tea Party, and the candidates the Tea Party have backed that have won hands down. Now that really shares them skitless.  But the old mantra of 'right wing racist radical nuts' doesn't seem to be working, in fact it seems to be getting Tea Party candidates elected. So they have to come up with another strategy.

All the while their OWN party threw out Arlen Specter, and elected Alvin Green in the primaries.  You don't think they're worried....hell yeah they're worried. So they got to come up with even more stupid and slanderous junk, and just HOPE the people are stupid enough to swallow it.  It ain't working too good so far though.

And the people are putting people in during the primaries who are running under the republican ticket, (cause they couldn't win any other way), who are NOT your establishment republicans. And they are winning, big time!.

Yeah, they better be scared.

The $20 Billion shakedown of BP by AKA is at the heart of this.
That action was:

Not Constitutional;
No Due Process was afforded BP;
Congress had no role in the matter legislatively;
AKA showed thru as a King -- and there is the rub.

The people will have their turn!!

I was under the impression that BP put the money in escrow voluntarily. AKA doesn't have the authority to do anything but ask.

So I agree with your above post, and reasoning. But my post still has merit also, as I was saying the dems are latching on to anything and everything they can, twisting it anyway they can, when they perceive that it might rile a few people up.

I never said your post didn't have merit.  You can not show me that anywhere in my post.

And tho I agree with your post, I don't always post for or against the one before mine.  Sometimes they are 'stand alone statements'.

I can make it thru life without holding onto the table as the earth turns

Touche. I just wanted you and everyone else to know that I agreed with your assessment, up to the point that they did it voluntarily. True, they may have been under a LOT of pressure, but there is no precedence that would require them to take that action. And on the other hand, the dems take a hot button topic, and milk it for all it's worth.

I believe when the Truth comes out it was a Kingly Act as stated before and that on a separate issue alone it places the $20 Bil as a cap, or limit, on something that my take $20 Tril to come close to having any real impact.

[admin]

I could be wrong, but I don't think the 20B was a cap. As I read it, BP agreed it was NOT a cap. As I look at the news as we speak, it is not good, and still gushing 60,000 barrels a day, since they removed the cap.

EVERY single one of my predictions have came true on this, and not to mention the fact that I said all along that the figures we were told were WAAAAAY low. Everything I've said has turned out to be true so far. In fact, I may have even UNDER estimated the amounts and impacts.

Again, it's not saying I know anything that anyone else doesn't, it's just not paying attention to the tube, doing some research, and coming to conclusions. I could very well have been totally wrong.

The point is, the media, the government, and BP are LYING to you every passing day. You can bet it's at least twice as worse as what you're being told. Maybe many times more.

Twenty billion? You're right. It probably won't even scratch the surface when all is said and done.

What worries me more, is that this is the one thing, that NO amount of money can fix. No technology can fix, and now I'm even worried that the "guarenteed" relief wells may not work. But I am hoping and praying they will.

I have a Bible verse, or sevearl for you:

Proverbs 1:24-33

I know some don't believe in the Bible, and to you I say fine, but this seems especially ironic.

Yeah, we dare not 'offend' anyone, or we won't get the diploma like it once was.

Also, that passage is ironic. 

And MY words are that it is prophecy.

LOL -- I ain't lookin for a diploma

LOL -- I ain't lookin for a diploma

Me neither. But to ME, it's still 'in the year of our Lord two thousand and ten'. And I really don't care if that offends anyone.

I'm not here to change my thoughts or ways, because someone is "offended" by them. KCUF them!

I will ask all of them this: Am *I* offended because you are an atheist? NO! That's YOUR problem, not mine. You don't try to make me an atheist, and I won't try to make you a Christian. The information is available if you want it, but that's as far as it goes.

I guess we're going to have to remove "In God We Trust" from the money, "under God" from the pledge, take all the Christian crosses up from Arlington cemetery, remove the Confederate statue in Oxford, redesign the Supreme Court building, and several other historical buildings in the District of Criminals.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech,

WHAT ****ing part of this do they NOT understand? WHEN is the rest of the country going to stand up and say, "we're not dealing with you assholes any more, you're retarded, you're SICK mentally. "

You can't even understand the plain words of the Constitution. They don't know the difference between FORCING a religion on you, and not interfering with your own.

And, let me make it CLEAR that I'm not advocating any particular religion, Catholic, Baptist, Protestant, or whatever, I'm saying the founders had it right. The government has no right to force any religion on you, and they have no right to interfere.

But I'll tell you were we're headed. No, I don't have to, you, all of you, already know.
