Should Texas Rep. Joe Barton be reprimanded even though he apologized for his "shakedown" remarks?

I think the polls will defiantly decide, but that all depends on how many people find out about these things, and even then how many people care. I wouldn't hold your breath for any immediate retaliation from his peers though, it seems like people don't really get reprimanded when they ought too. I suppose financial and social status have a lot to do with it.

We’ve even got the iconic, oil-soaked pelican pictures running 24/7 on MSNBC. And now that the Ass Kicker in Chief has gotten the petroleum tyrants to pony up a pile of cash for the “small people,” there’s a Republican apologizing for it? The fact that the speaker happened to be a somewhat portly Caucasian over the age of fifty didn’t help matters either.

David Letterman quipped, “Nice to see you rich white guys sticking up for each other.” But while the remarks could certainly qualify for some sort of MTV Music award for inept commentary, and Barton has already been forced into a mea culpa, one nagging problem remains. The Texas congressman’s statements were politically tone deaf … but he was also correct.

It is not unheard of for a company to set aside funds for a third party to distribute to affected workers and consumers after bankruptcy or other corporate meltdown scenarios. In years past I’ve worked on the documentation and public relations for firms that have done just that.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
