Fezmid Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 My favorite comments are the ones saying things like, "If BP is banned from doing business with the government due to lack of integrity, then the government itself should be shutting down." http://news.yahoo.com/epa-temporarily-suspends-bp-u-federal-government-contracts-135930995--finance.html
Jim in Anchorage Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) I know a little about BP having lived in Alaska 18 years.Good riddance. They still think of America as a colony to extract resources from at maximum profit, damn the natives. They can- and will corrupt local government, destroy the environment[ After all it's not a real place like London! ] and leave with their billions. As long as sir Browne [ or what ever fag is running it at the moment] can make lordship they could give a crap about what they destroy. Edited November 29, 2012 by Jim in Anchorage
DC Tom Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 So an environmental watchdog has the responsibility - nay, mandate - to determine who is eligible for the GSA schedule based on an arbitrary measures of abstracts like "integrity"?
dayman Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 So an environmental watchdog has the responsibility - nay, mandate - to determine who is eligible for the GSA schedule based on an arbitrary measures of abstracts like "integrity"? Seems to be just a suspension more than ban...another little bit of punishment.
Bigfatbillsfan Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 This is more of a suspention than a ban. But I agree with that. Why should be let a company like BP come to waters near us, !@#$ up, and then we have to deal with the oil spill?
3rdnlng Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 I wonder if the government's policies on no more shallow wells in the Gulf and forcing drilling in deep waters had anything to do with making it difficult to contain the spill? Unintended or intended consequences?
birdog1960 Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 i think their bald face lies about the amount of oil spilling justifies this. it threatened the entire gulf and they could not be trusted to give the facts. who knows what else they haven't told us about.

Shh. Corporations are always right and always worry about the little guy. They never act without integrity and deserve their religious status bestowed upon them by the far right. We're talking about 'Murica!
DC Tom Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 As I figured...in answer to the question about the EPA's authority to judge the qualifications of companies for government work based on integrity, the only answer is "BP sucks!" None of you are even capable of giving a second's thought to whether or not the EPA should even remotely have that authority.
/dev/null Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 So an environmental watchdog has the responsibility - nay, mandate - to determine who is eligible for the GSA schedule based on an arbitrary measures of abstracts like "integrity"? Democrats no longer control the House so the left had to come up with a new way to pick winners and losers

None of you are even capable of giving a second's thought to whether or not the EPA should even remotely have that authority. There's no question that you're right. But there's also no question that BP is a carpetbagging company that is directly responsible for multiple environmental catastrophes. Fug' 'em.

But there's also no question that BP is a carpetbagging company that is directly responsible for multiple environmental catastrophes. Fug' 'em. But you don't "Fug' em" by giving the EPA new authority like that.
IDBillzFan Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 Wow. It seems like only yesterday the Obama administration was giving Deepwater Horizon a national safety award.

None of you are even capable of giving a second's thought to whether or not the EPA should even remotely have that authority. they may well not have the authority. the courts recently threw out some of their regulations against coal. let's see if BP takes em to court like the coal companies did. might air a lot of dirty laundry! There's no question that you're right. But there's also no question that BP is a carpetbagging company that is directly responsible for multiple environmental catastrophes. Fug' 'em. then there's that whole kaddhafi/libya/bomber thing. what a great company!
CosmicBills Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 But you don't "Fug' em" by giving the EPA new authority like that. True.

None of you are even capable of giving a second's thought to whether or not the EPA should even remotely have that authority. Nevermind that...notice how its "the big bad corporation's" fault about the public not knowing how much oil was spilled? I thought the highly efficient big Federal omniscient goverment machine was supposed to know that stuff. Wow. It seems like only yesterday the Obama administration was giving Deepwater Horizon a national safety award. They were "duped" by the big bad corporation, you see.
B-Man Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Hypocrisy ? Obama’s Murky Relationship With BP: President has been largest beneficiary of BP money in last 20 years. .

TheMadCap Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Hypocrisy ? Obama’s Murky Relationship With BP: President has been largest beneficiary of BP money in last 20 years. . Just tell him who's ass he has to kick!
DC Tom Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Hypocrisy ? Obama’s Murky Relationship With BP: President has been largest beneficiary of BP money in last 20 years. . So he can either be in the pocket of corporate interests, or a hypocrite. That's !@#$ing retarded.
