The democrat party line on BP is to close ranks and paint Republicans as protecting big oil. This is necessary to distract America from Obama’s incompetence and the democrat’s cozy relationship with the British energy company. Both Carol Shea-Porter and Paul Hodes got the memo—they are on board—using tragedy for personal and political profit as each has sent out fundraising propaganda asking supporters to help them fend of the GOP and its defense of big oil. These people are unbelievable.
In a recent Hodes fundraising email staffer Valerie Martin claims that…
"Republicans… are standing up for Big Oil, Big Insurance, and Big Banks.
It’s just another example of a Republican defending the special interests, not your interests.…
Other Republicans are even inexplicably criticizing President Obama’s efforts to make sure BP has money set aside to pay for the damages they caused.””
So let me see if I’ve go this right. Paul Hodes (lawyer) sanctions the chief executive’s right to pry billions away from a private company without due process of law, when it is politically or ideologically convenient. You can run on that and democrats will vote for you?
