LA Congressman Charlie Melancon breaks down in tears over Gulf oil spill

This man is crying for the death of part of our country. If it comes back it will take years and years.

You will probably call me crazy (and maybe I am) but I do not think that the oil spill is an accident – not for one minute. I really believe this was the plan and another way to bring America to it's knees.

You must understand…liberals just love the *enviornment.* They get all teary eyed when their mentally disordered minds think “mother earth” is being harmed. This man is a pitiful human being and I don't buy his fake emotions one bit!

Am I missing something? Half of our country, food source, many livelyhoods, tourism animals, birds etc are destroyed and I read comments making fun of this man that is overwhelmed with what has happend. I am not a liberal but I am mad as hell that this has gone on this long and destruction to this level. I really think it was planned to happen. I hope I am totaly wrong. So where are the Bush bashers. If Bush was still in office we would not hear the end of it. This bozo sits and makes empty speeches and everyone is so pleased that he is doing something. Makes me sick.

I think the timing and the lack of response is too much of a coincedence. I do not think BP or our Pres is doing everything they can. After Exxon precautions were put in place and this could have at least been slowed by now. Why didn't each state get their shores ready with some kind of defense to try to minimize the problem, knowing that this was coming? I have not heard any calls for help. What is happening to help clean animals and beaches like they did after Exxon?
On the other hand is this part of prophesy and was going to happen anyway? Surely this will affect at least 1/3 of all sea animals as it says in the bible. Along with the many Volcano eruptions – I think we need to look elsewhere for answers. Sorry for the rambling.

Don't get me wrong here (I realize this is chumming the water for the enviro-nuts) but over the years I have witnessed out of state environmentalists completely destroy the economy of my home state. Here in western Montana our major industry was the timber and wood products industry,everything from the lumber for homes to the paper used for a myriad purposes (writing to wiping your backside). The companies that employed thousands of residents,paid for schools and supported dozens of service industry jobs as well(restaurants and retail etc). I say was because beginning in the 1980's these enviro-nuts began clogging the Federal Courts with lawsuits designed to kill the industry,an industry that had been practicing responsible forestry since the beginning of the 1970's. These groups also filed constant lawsuits against the Forest Service and BLM to close public lands to harvests as well resulting in such choking growth that even the native wildlife cannot survive there as well as leading to some of the most hellish fire seasons in our state's history. As a result Billions of YOUR tax dollars go to the massive yearly efforts to fight these fires, as of today,we are not even into our fire season as of yet, they (USFS and BLM) have spent millions just in preparation for the fires. I do support responsible environmentalism that works in concert with our industries for responsible use of resources. But when politicians begin overdone theatrics for the camera in election years give me a break.BTW, we just recently lost nearly 500 jobs with the closing of a paper mill here, the figure is the number of employees that worked at the mill, we are still seeing the side effects of the closing working its way through the supporting industries. With that closing out of nine different wood products operations that were here, we have just one left, when it is forced to close we will lose another appx 900 jobs.Our current unemployment rate is 7.1 % state wide with a population ,est. 2009, of 974,989 people. So my feelings to the feds? Get the hell out of our way and we can fix it, the same goes for the oil spill. Kudos to Gov. Bobby Jindhall for giving voice to this.
