THEY TOLD ME IF I VOTED REPUBLICAN, BIG OIL COMPANIES WOULD GET SPECIAL TREATMENT. And they were right!

A federal board monitoring tests of an important piece of evidence from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the blowout preventer, demanded Thursday that the analysis stop, saying representatives of the companies that made and maintained the device have had preferential access to it. The United States Chemical Safety Board said in a letter to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement that the companies’ hands-on involvement in the analysis undermined its credibility.

Those people who told me what would happen if I voted Republican sure are right a lot. I guess I should have listened . . . .
