Half True

IMUS: I don’t see how they ever — I don’t see how they ever return the gulf region to pre this gulf spill. Do you?

ISSA: Nah, I do.

IMUS: You do?

ISSA: I’ve made two trips to Alaska and you know our environment heals itself in time after you take most of the sludge away. But, having said that, I don’t see we ever return to trusting our government or the oil companies without real reform.

As it is Issa's Republican party energy policy, regulatory policy, environmental policy and big oil corruption that caused this disaster, his last sentence should have been 'I don't see we ever return to trusting Republican government' (sic). Democrats are in favor of clean energy, more regulation and stricter environmental laws. Issa's statement illustrates the classic truism that Republicans run on the premise government doesn't work - and then they get elected and prove it.
