Are right-wingers going to insist the Government "do more"? Will this oil disaster teach some

[theophilus]

folks that Government action is good? And that preemptive action, i.e. regulations is even better?
We can only hope. Mr. Jindal was really pushing accountability on BP and saying it wouldn't be fixed until the marshes, etc. are back the way they were before. He almost sounded like a Progressive! Why, Mr. Jindal, do we have to HAVE the disaster to start singing the proper tune?

1. Right wingers are stuck with lawsuits

They don't believe in government regulation. So their only relief from damage is lawsuits after the fact.

3. I guess it's only "frivolous" when it is somebody else doing it? n/t

4. Indeed. THEIR cases are always real.

Or if it's someone they know.

2. Except this proves the point of the State as the focus of Government vs Federal.

The whole big government argument is mostly aimed at the Feds not the states.
