GOP state senator Randy Brogdon (OK), who is the “tea party favorite” in his race for the Republican nomination for governor in his state is not blaming BP but the government for the Gulf oil spill. Brogdon claims that government is “the problem” and that the spill is a “perfect example of why government should never be involved in the private sector”
That would mean no labor laws, no environmental laws, no public safety regulations, no FDIC, and down with everything from restaurant inspections to the Civil Rights Act. As Think Progress notes should be asked about all these things and the rest of the Republicans should be asked if they agree with him.
I like the idea of asking the GOPers about all the crazy shit these guys say. Only problem is they say so much crazy shit, there's just not enough time to ask about all of it.
ReplyDeleteTrue Anon, true. Talking Points Memo has hired reporters that ask these kinds of questions. Was it last week they asked Boehner if he agreed with what the head of the chamber of commerce said about BP? His answer made its way into the news cycle. We just need a couple hundred more TPM's and we'll be set.
