Rep. Joe Barton Apologizes To BP For $20 Billion Claims Fund

Typical Republican ...save big business and big corperations...they never change.

Hey Texas, why not secede? With assholes like this in charge, you'll be sunk in about a week.

@loonmaniac i doubt it, Texas cities are vastly out performing major east and west coast cities and its all due to allowing free markets to function, eliminating red tape, and low taxes. the same things that our founders advocated which made this country so great to begin with.

Of course he's only talking on behalf of himself, he's been the biggest oil company lobbyist over the last two decades. What a dicksmoke.

Stay classy, Republicans.

@DF1234567 Agreed 100 fucking %!

$20bil is chump change to what BP has done. And Barton is sticking up for the UK? ARE YOU SERIOUS? Check his passport!

Republican? This is not about Republicanism! Joe Barton is working in the interest of not the American people, but the English people! He should get a job in the parliament!! Fucking sucks

British Petroleum... ahem... excuse me BP.

BP fucked the gulf. $20 billion to start.

idiot.

@kamjencam5 i think that barton is secretly a democrat.he wants the left to win more seats in november.why else why would he say such a thing on a national stage,essentially spitting in the faces of all those people suffering because of the spill?
