Burr says restrictions on Big Oil are to blame for Gulf oil spill
Submitted by MarkG on Tue, 06/15/2010 - 5:59pm__________ is to blame for the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Insert your answer in the blank. If you answered "too many restrictions on Big Oil companies," you might be the only person in the country who agrees with Sen. Richard Burr. In this shocking audio clip, Burr squarely lays the blame for the Gulf oil spill on limitations on offshore drilling. According to Burr's logic, the disaster in the Gulf could have been avoided, if only the federal government had given oil companies more freedom to drill where they pleased.

Burr caught backpeddling on health care repeal
Submitted by MarkG on Thu, 04/01/2010 - 10:39amWhat a difference two weeks makes.
Watch Richard Burr change his position on repealing health care reform. Two days before the final House vote, Burr pledged to focus his campaign on repealing health care reform ("devastating for the American health care system"). Now Burr backpeddles and says "it may not be total repeal at the end of the day" and says a "series of fixes" will do the trick. Huh?
