America’s Most Hated Industries

Americans are not happy with the government. But for the first time in a long while, it is not the most hated industry in the country. That honor now belongs to the oil and gas industry as a result of climbing prices at the pumps and the BP oil spill still fresh in many people’s minds.

My question is why the most hated industry basically has one political party totally won over to representing it? And why haven't we used this relationship more effectively?
