A top official at the Environmental Protection Agency has apologized after being captured on video saying his agency’s method of enforcing oil and gas regulations was to find a few bad actors to “crucify” and hold up as examples.

rofllol Ooops he must have thought he was King Obuma, say and do anything he wants.

Funny how these lefties keep tossing the Republicans more ammo on a weekly basis it seems. On one hand they say they are all for oil and natural gas, then on the other hand they want to crucify these evil companies to set an example.

Maybe these fools will finally realize that everything they say is most likely recorded in some way. Imagine if we could listen in on the masterminds who created the health care bill (the mst transparent administration ever). rofllol

Nothing to see her. People like using hyperbole, like "targeting Gabby Giffords". Or calling anyone they disagree with a Nazi.

The difference Fred is that the left insists that such hyperbole has no place in the discourse while the right thinks politics is a rough and tumble arena. One should not insist on a standard they are unable to keep themselves. That is why the left needs to apologize whenever they fail to keep the standard they insist on. If they would stop insisting on that standard being applied, then no one would care when anyone engages in such hyperbole. The right is fine with hyperbole, we think it adds to the discourse and reveals how one truly feels about their opponents in the political arena, but we will insist that those who disagree maintain the standard they want imposed.

Thanks PS....I always suspected the right had no standards, would lie, cheat, and attack without pause.......I do appreciate confirmation of that.

But it is funny when the reverse happens.
Dems laugh it off when their politicians have affairs etc, boys being boys. The wife should meekly put up with it like Hilary Clinton and Elizabeth Edwards. Wheras it tends to be a death knell for the GOP because they do demand a higher level of morality, at least, sexually from their reps.

Well, that exactly proves what I was saying......I have never seen the left "laugh it off", when the Edwards story broke the left was as vocal as the right on condemning him......maybe more so. Yet the right never seemed too concerned about McCain's leaving his wife for another woman when his wife was injured, or Gingrich's leaving 2 different wives for other women.......your selective outrage rings hollow Fred.

The right puts on their blinders when one of their own behaves badly, the most we can get our of a conservative when a fellow conservative is caught with his pants down is to invoke the name of Clinton. I guess they think it's OK to do whatever they want as long as a liberal has done it too.

You don't think Newt suffered for marrying another woman? He has been out of politics for a long time, time for wounds to heal, but he still ran a distant third in the primaries. Even though he had the biggest political accomlishments and was the most financially conservative of the non-Ron Paul circle.

And McCain also didn't get very far when he tried to run against "W". I know Ronald & Nancy Reagan threw him out of the inner circle when they found out about his divorce.

What does that have to do with you claiming the liberals laugh it off when politicians have affairs.....I haven't seen evidence of that, yet I have seen evidence of the conservatives not caring what their politicians do as long as they can point to Clinton as being worse....

It took the National Enquirer to expose Edwards. rofllol rofllol
