I just heard today that in 2005 Cheney made sure that gas drillers were exempt from clean water standards when “fracking” oil shale, and now there are serious problems of ground water poisoning.

Why don't you educate yourself about fracking and stop regurgitating the liberal line?

I think it’s fairly safe to say that the Chinese got the contract, just as the French got contracts from Saddam earlier, because they offered the Iraqi political leaders the biggest bribes.

American oil companies aren’t allowed to offer bribes to foreign governments. Which is why our “Big Oil” companies are now relative midgets compared to foreign state oil companies, which do offer bribes.

I am not regurgitating a liberal line, I was looking at interviews of rural people (classic Tea Party material) distressed by illness, tainted water, and water that gives off gas that was set on fire in the video clip. One company had even admitted damage to the point of providing free drinking water, although the people still have to shower in tainted water. I didn’t even know there was a “liberal” line.
