"In a democracy, people get the government they deserve" - often attributed to Alexis de ToquevilleWe're not sure the millions of Americans who will be affected by the Gulf oil disaster actually deserve what's happening to them. We are sure however that Republican public policy - their regulatory policy, their energy policy, their environmental policy and their corrupt relationship with big oil absolutely created the conditions that allowed this disaster to happen. Hopefully voters in those mostly red states will decide to cast their ballots for a better future.
I doubt it, you are talking about a class of people who believe in Armageddon and consider such disasters, “A sign”… and another step to fulfilling this prophecy.
ReplyDeleteSadly VG I think you're right. The new poll out today has the GOP with a 7 lead in the generic poll. But we'll keep trying to get the Democrats to better explain to them why their life sucks.
