Dems mount effort to label house GOP as 'The BP 114'

Then what is the issue with making sure the pay out is being done fairly and efficiently? We've already seen BP can't police themselves on these things. A third party is needed.

What third party?
I hope it isn't the .gov because "efficient government" is an oxymoron.

BP does have to screen claims for fraud, otherwise every tom and dick would get an undeserved pay out.
I think we've already seen something similar with Katrina.

How has BP shown that it's incapable of paying out this money? They've already voluntarily distributed $100+ million in claims.
 
Only the majority needs bi-partisanship for political cover. You know... in case things backfire they have denyability by pointing fingers at the other side and wailing "But they voted for it tooo... waaaaaa!" That's about all bi-partisanship is needed in Washington. God forbid if these politicians actually had the people they represent in mind.

Indeed. The real definition of bi-partisanship is Americans getting screwed by both parties at the same time. When a party has power, they don't give a **** about working with the other side.

How can BP not be able to afford this? Their net cash flow alone for six months is sufficent to cover several years of payments.
