The Gulf Oil spill and what America can do

If you do not live under a rock you are aware of the BP Deepwater Horizon off-shore oil rig which caught fire and collapsed in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20.

There are 3 leaks which are spewing as much as 200,000 gallons of oil per day into the Gulf of Mexico.

This disaster has the potential to become the largest environmental disaster in our history. It is estimated that if the oil spill enters into the Gulf Stream, it could wrap around Florida and travel up the East coast of the United States.

It has become blatantly obvious to me lately that the "loudest 20%" is blasting the media with repeated talking points. The rise of the Birthers, the Teabaggers, the fight against health care reform, the Conservative media in general- all marching to the beat of the same drum: "NO to socialism," or "No to the Marxist." They repeat these scary words like "fascism" and "nazism" and "communism" and try to tag it to the left. But something else about these people has also become blatantly obvious to me. They're morons.

It has always fascinated me how Republicans can effortlessly take ANYthing and turn it into something it's not, just to make it look good for them. For example, the other day I watched dumbfounded as Sarah Palin announced that she was ending her term as governor early, because sticking it out 'til the end would be the "easy way out" and something that "a quitter would do." So essentially: quitting is the tough way out, while sticking it out to finish the job her constituents elected her to do would be taking the quitter's route?! Uh, OK.

Democrats, on the other hand, seem to have at their disposal a complete arsenal of potentially lethal arguments and talking points that they could use to defend themselves or rail against Republican blunders (Ensign, Palin, Sanford, Bush - take your pick). Yet they do not seem to be able to form a coherent argument or execute a potent talking point - even if their political life depends on it.

Lately John Boehner has been beating his drums against the effectiveness of Obama's stimulus package. And from the other side, I hear crickets. And again, I am dumbfounded.
