Do you know how much money us consumers will actually save by drilling offshore in our nation's waters? Look it up.

This talking point that the environmentalists are to blame for this disaster is complete B.S. Of course you parrots will repeat anything Limbaugh says, that's all you got.

Are you sure another Exxon Valdeze would not have occured if we had to ship all our oil? I certainly don't think shipping oil is a foolproof solution.

I see somebody was on Palin's facebook page today weak to say the least.

Do you even know the series of events that led up to the explosion?

Honestly, I think we're all to blame, not just BP. As a nation, we rely so heavily on oil that's it's almost unbelieveable. Other energy sources should be explored thoroughly and be put to use so we don't have to go through this again.

Is it too much to ask that Big Oil drill safely? At least try to follow some safety and environmental regulations?

This was a case of criminal negligence.... all responsible belong in prison
The criminal negligence came from the MMS people who bragged on the safety measures in effect at that well just two weeks before the explosion. Why do I never see anybody talk about that? I am sure I know why.

I seriously think that the top people in the MMS along with their superiors deserve to go to prison along with the big oil people from BP. You talk about regulation and that example of regulation made me sick.

I am watching CNN and the oil if coming out like never before. Not sure if cutting the pipe was such a great idea.

Did Limbaugh say that? I don't know since I only hear him about once a month and haven't got to him yet this month. Do you really listen to him?

Will your next computer and all the other appliances like it that are constructed of plastic be made of oil once we get real about it all? I didn't think so but you don't seem to know that oil is used in the manufacture of plastic. Are you going to force a return to glass milk bottles and glass water bottles? No? Why not?

I missed that since I have been watching Fox all evening. Oh well it may get fixed someday.

BP announced that they expected a 20% increase in flow after cutting the pipe. They've got the top hat on but it'll be 12 or more hours before we know if it works or not.
