Texas Rep. Joe Barton Invokes World War II in Touting GOP Battle With Obama

cheneylips1:40 PM Nov 30, 2010 Margaret, the answer to your question is that this country does not want a man - Joe Barton - in the pocket of big oil companies as you noted, to head energy. The Republican's wnat him to do that! They are back! **************** Nonsense. BP oil gave Obama a larger campaign contribution than any other canadidate. Who is in who's pocket?...

Why in the world would the citizens of this country want a man to head energy and the environment who is in the pocket of big oil companies? That is a death knell for the Gulf of Mexico if another spill happens. I just do NOT understand why money is more important to these Congresspeople who are supposed to be looking out for the health and well-being of Americans. We allow oil companies to poison our environment and our air and they make ridiculously huge profits every year to whose benefit? For example, BP is not an American company. Do they profit anyone HERE or is it all for overseas investors? And that's another thing. American corporations are firing or laying off American workers in favor of shipping jobs overseas. The Chamber of Commerce, which represents American businesses doing that job relocation, is so pro-big business that I often wonder when every American making less than $100,000 a year will wake up and fight back against the exportation of jobs that should stay HERE.

Juarez is the war Texas needs to worry about right now. The U.S. Boarder with Mexico is under attack. I am counting over 37 dead in the last three days and counting. The weird thing is that only the Mexican news and Videos from Rutgers news is covering the war?

Joe Barton wants to be George Patton although Joe Barton never served a day in the military? Perhaps Joe Barton can play the role of a draft dodger. A vet.

And this would be good for the GOP? I don't think so.
