TX Governor Rick Perry blames God for the oil disaster!

More insanity from the Republicans in Texas!


Rick Perry blames God for the oil disaster!


I am sure his oil buddies loved to hear that.


"Think Progress" just reported:

Earlier today, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which is funded by dues-paying corporations like BP and Halliburton, hosted a “Free Enterprise” conference to push deregulation and anti-tax policies. During a press availability after the morning session, a reporter raised the point that the oil rig disaster, the Massey mine disaster, and the overall financial crisis seemed to have all occurred as a result of too much free enterprise and not enough regulations. Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX), one of several governors in attendance, lashed out at the reporter and said regulations would not have prevented the economic collapse.

Later in his response, Perry said he feared a “knee-jerk reaction” to the oil spill, and said the oil spill could be just another “act of God that cannot be prevented“

“We don’t know what the event that has allowed for this massive oil to be released,” Perry said alongside several other governors on a panel Monday. “And until we know that, I hope we don’t see a knee-jerk reaction across this country that says we’re going to shut down drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, because the cost to this country will be staggering.” Perry questioned whether the spill was “just an act of God that occurred” and said that any “politically driven” decisions could put the U.S. in further economic peril. “From time to time there are going to be things that occur that are acts of God that cannot be prevented,” Perry said.

:wtf:

oy

no doubt.

Where the hell did I leave my... Ba'al idol?

and I'm sure other liberal evils that are sending this country to hell in a hand basket.

They LOOOOVE tho throw the name of God around like pancakes at Denny's on a Sunday.

Great Oil Drill = Perry's God.

They could look at it the way Pat Robertson does & believe that he meant it was Gods punishment for Amricans doing something wrong, or they could look at it as Perry blaming God for Man's doings. I'm sure we'll see soon.

The rig disaster is an act by Cheney when he in his secret energy meetings cut costs to save $500,000 by eliminating an acoustic switch which would have triggered a shut down.

See it here in video with Ed schultz:

She may put a lightning bolt up Ricky's butt

Which is why people have no fucking business tapping down into fossil fuels!

God and oil are the same thing.

for hiding that oil so deep under the sea instead of leaving it on top in a nice bowl for us to lap from.

and greed, of course...

He speaks of god ..... Which god is he talking about?? Different religions have different gods.

Is his god in charge of oil wells now and if he is then we can sue his church??

how come God didn't go after, say, that sinful liberal New England?

Big Oil think they're GAWD!

halt to it? If he's a "man of God" and all that...

Not a hurricane, not a volcano, not an earthquake. Give me a break.

He also wants to run for president.

Oh how I hope one of the nut jobs like DeMint, Palin, or Perry, are nominated in 2012.
