No BP investigation, the Senate blocked it.

BP is accused of withholding ‘critical’ spill data. And they will continue to withhold it, because the Democrat-controlled Senate has voted to block the White House’s investigative committee from having subpoena power.
Predictably, it’s going to spun that the GOP is somehow at fault. This is going to be said, even though the Democrats Party is entirely in power. If they really wanted it to happen, they could work to make that happen.
I mean, the Democrat Party is somehow immune to oil money? Sure.
Here’s explanation #1: they are the same party, and they get their money from the same people, they get their orders from the same people — and that includes big oil.
Forget “Democrat” and “Republican.” Let’s just call them “The Party.” It would be a little more accurate to the truth.
Here is explanation #2: the death of Alaska’s Sen. Stevens sent a message.
My #3 explanation is … #1 followed by #2.
Anyhow, the far more vulnerable politicians in the House voted 420 to 1 to give the presidential commission investigating the BP oil spill full subpoena power. And the Federal Government is ok, because the less vulnerable members of the Senate blocked it.
Bravo! No investigation.
