As Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska spits in the face of her constituents who endured the worst oil spill in our country and were ultimately ripped off by their perpetrators that left the taxpayers to clean up and heal wounds caused by that disaster, she leads her Republicans to continue to support the Oil Company and rail against raising liability caps.
We have already learned about Republican Party leader Mitch McConnell rubbing elbows with the "Too Big to Fail" Bankers after the bailout, and then come back and say that Democrats want to continue a bailout culture after Democrats introduce a bill that will take the taxpayer off the hook on future Bank Bailouts. And we already know that Republican Michelle Bachmann is the Welfare Queen of our nation.
So if Republicans are talking out of one side of their mouth that they are against welfare and bailouts, then why are they speaking of bailouts and welfare for BP and other multi-billion dollar corporations out of the other side of their mouth.
I really only bring this up to put another "Keys to the Car" line out there. For sure the Republicans made themselves a giant mantra out of railing against welfare and bailouts. But if you pay close attention, that's all they do is lobby for bailouts and welfare for their friends in ... not in low places, but in high places... very very high places.
Instead of doing the liberal Jesus and Christian like thing in bringing up the struggling class and the disabled, Republicans want to keep the struggling class a conquered class and keep stealing from them by using their tax dollars to clean up disasters brought to them by the Republican lobbied multi-billion dollar corporations whom all enjoyed closed secret meetings with Dick Cheney.
And what do we have now, one of Cheney's buddies, BP (because we all know that BP is a person because it's a corporation) will certaintly be bailed out of their troubles.
Bill S.3305, the "Big Oil Bailout Prevention Liability Act" would cap BP's liability at $10 billion, even if damages from the gulf oil spill surpass that figure. The company already estimates that spill will cost $450 million to clean up.

So I say to all the people who are thinking of voting Republican, to all the independents pondering the thought of pulling the lever for a Republican...
Why do Republicans want TaxPayer Bailouts For Oil Companies?
