Perhaps the source of the Repub trait of lying should be investigated. Is it something they just take on when registering Repub?, genetic? Can’t tell the truth or own mistakes.

Support Udall!

No one could have predicted.

Think of an ad showing statements from several Republicans stating that not one drop of oil was spilled. Then shift to a satellite picture of the oil spill. Use a voice over stating the number of major spills, minor spills and total barrels spilled. Then conclude with: “The Republican party, a party of ignorance or lies. We present the facts. You decide.”

Other than that, he has made me cringe every time I hear his extremist partisan hack-dom on national tv. He has been in the rich, rich pockets of the oil, gas, business and ranching interests in this state for as long as I can remember, and because they have way more money than anyone else here, he gets reelected time after time. These old-guard Republicans like Domenici, Hatch, Stevens, etc. don’t seem to DO anything at a certain point, just keep getting re-elected so they can protect their particular political crony constituencies.

OK. I see.

Oh, yeah – that’s what I thought.

“As a result of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita there were six major, five medium, and over 5000 minor oil and hazmat responses. Additional minor spills continue to be identified and addressed. It is estimated that over 9 million gallons of oil was released, and this total does not include oil released from minor spills. A detailed summary of these spills is provided on pages 5-6.”

Testimony to the House Subcommittee on the Environment and Hazardous Materials, Respectfully Submitted to the Honorable Paul E. Gilmore, Chair by Karen K. Gautreaux, Deputy Secretary, Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality, September 29, 2005 [link]

“Of great concern are the impacts of a number of oil spills resulting from Katrina. Currently 5 major and 5 minor oil spills are the subject of response efforts. It is estimated that over 6.5 million gallons of oil have been released into the environment, with more spills expected as pipelines and facilities resume operations. Over 2.5 million gallons of oil have been recovered as of September 28, with the Coast Guard and LOSCO being the lead agencies in that effort.”

from george orwell’s “nineteen eighty-four”:

“The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them . . . . To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies — all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth.”
