John Garamendi said "If I recall correctly, it's not only the extraordinary economic damage, 11 people were killed in this blowout. Eleven men who were working on that, who had families, who were trying to earn a living were killed as a result of it. Now, for BP, it wasn't their only accident. They have the worst safety record in the oil industry. So you are quite right, Congressman Ellison, that the issue of where the Republican Party stands on this, it's not just one member speaking out of turn. It was in fact the ranking member of the committee speaking on the talking points developed by the Republican Study Committee, which is the policy development committee for the Republican caucus in this House." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
