Jones Act absolutely applies, should have been waived - BY THE PRESIDENT - and the proper F-ing ships should have been here - WEEKS AGO !!!
You LITERALLY have no god damn clue what you're talking about!!!
" Three days after the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico, the Dutch government offered to help.
It was willing to provide ships outfitted with oil-skimming booms, and it proposed a plan for building sand barriers to protect sensitive marshlands.
The response from the Obama administration and BP, which are coordinating the cleanup:“The embassy got a nice letter from the administration that said, ‘Thanks, but no thanks'," said Geert Visser, consul general for the Netherlands in Houston.
Now, almost seven weeks later, as the oil spewing from the battered well spreads across the Gulf and soils pristine beaches and coastline, BP and our government have reconsidered."

Oh, well said, Magons. Been missing you, or have I 'missed' you lately? Eloquent as ever, and absolutely right on.
It's the right that says government SHOULDN'T be involved, SHOULDN'T regulate, remember Crap? You've said it often enough here, you can't back out now. You're screaming and yelling about the government (Obama) not doing "anything"; why aren't you calling BP? They're the free enterprise that wasn't regulated and "regulated" themselves, just like you always want. So why are you blaming the very government you DO NOT WANT involved in private enerprise?
Answer that if you can. Because you can't...free enterprise wants what's good for itself, and damn the torpedoes (or the Gulf, in this case). If it doesn't touch them personally, if it doesn't affect their bottom line, THEY DON'T GIVE A SHIT. Simple as that.
If BP had been properly regulated and inspected, we wouldn't be here. If MMS hadn't been left to get high and screw Big Oil lobbyists, we wouldn't be here. IF private enterprise HAD policed itself, we wouldn't be here. NOW you start screaming at Obama to clean up the mess. Yes, he should, and he's not, and I'm furious, but I'm not the one saying free enterprise can take care of us. I'm not that stupid, nor are many millions of other perfectly intelligent, free-thinking people.
And WE'RE not the ones "screaming" obscenities at everyone else on this forum because the government we've been arguing against all this time isn't there to do enough when we start wanting it suddenly. Guess the anger goes in all directions for you; me, I know which direction to aim it.

No, it's more like damned if you don't/ damned if you don't
The Gov't isn't the kick bag of the " right ". It's the kick bag of EVERY INTELLIGENT, FREE THINKING INDIVIDUAL !
Guess that leaves out, however.
I love it when Rappy gets so worked up he can't even type coherent sentences.
Of course, that's about every hour of every day.

...and nowhere in that article does it say anything about the Jones Act. The government not thinking it would be this bad so acting stupidly is one thing; you'll get no argument there. But keep trying to make it about the Jones Act, I realize you can't let go of that despite the facts, it feeds something in you so far be it from me to take that away.
Far be it from any of us to try and reason with you about anything that doesn't fit your "partisan jihad", because that's what it is: "Nothing bad exists that isn't Obama's fault personally". We understand. Go on with your fantasies.
Yeah, Mike, I got a (tiny) kick out of that one. You can almost see the smoke coming out of his ears. Hey, he's gotta blame someone, along with Obama, for everything. So it's us. Poor thing, I hope he hasn't got a dog he can kick.

Right on.
So, Rappy... Where's the "invisible hand" of the free market in all this? Won't that giant invisible hand that keeps all corporations honest sweep in any second now and clean up all this mess? Is the "invisible hand" something like the Great Pumpkin?

Rappy's really hilarious - he's one of those Nordquistian neo-cons who really actively thought that you really could get government down to the size where you could drown it in a bathtub - and now he finds out that because of the policies HE and his cohorts championed ("No regulations! Free markets! Drill, Baby, DRILL! Drill Here, Drill NOW!!"), that government is now drowning - in a sea of spilled oil.

Niki....
You're so into sucking this President's dick, that you'll over look pretty much anything he does.
Jones Act issue is established fact. You deny it all the hell you want, it doesn't change 1 god damn thing.
This President is an abysmal failure. The article I linked to proves that, even if it doesn't mention the Jones Act. SO FUCKING WHAT!
I have no partisan jihad. I see a worthless piece of shit leader not doing his job, trying to snow everyone into blaming anyone BUT him, and then talking shit about litigation and legislation
THE GOD DAMN COAST IS DEAD, AND HE DOESN'T CARE!
That's not me saying that, that's the people whose lives are destroyed, who live in the land that is full of death and suffocating wild life, and all you fucking want to do is bicker over how great a job this man is doing ,and anyone who says any different is on some " jihad " against his politics
HE BROUGHT UP POLITICS, NOT ME!
HE'S THE ONE USING A CRISIS TO GET HIS PRECIOUS POLITICAL AGENDA IN THE SPOT LIGHT, WHILE HE DOES NOTHING TO HELP SOLVE THE SITUATION !

The death of an entire ecosystem really is a laugh riot, isn't it Kwickie ?
Again, you show your true , pathetic colors.
No one ever said NO regulations, but then, lying is all you can ever do. You're not smart enough to converse with anyone intelligently, all you can do is mock, ridicule, make fun of and quip about millions of dead fish, dolphin, gator, shrimp, birds, oyster....
Am I making you laugh ?
Shall I tickle you more w/ the hi-larious tales of 10's of 1000's of people not just losing their jobs, but their livelihoods, their homes, their legacy .. of passing on their family businesses down to their children....oh man. I can see why you and other Big Gov't lovers just giggle away at all that.
Funny stuff, huh?
Wildlife dead
Jobs gone
Tourism gone
Entire communities, all along the coast, becoming silent and empty. Homes left and abandoned....

Hello,
I disdain how some folks on the extreme sides of a debate invent extreme nonsense positions.
Person 1: "I love the feel of the sun on my skin."
Person 2: "You Love Cancer! You nutso! You like to bend over and get f*cked up the *ss by the Sun! You mutant m*therf*cker!"
This is what our discussions increasingly look like.
