Energy companies watch out

Now that Republicans have been defeated, oil companies need to watch out.

Energy companies had thrown in their lot — lock, stock and oil barrel — with the Republicans.

Now they face a Democratically controlled House, and perhaps Senate, whose leaders have vowed to take aim at Big Oil within the first 100 hours of a new Congress.

"The oil industry should be worried," noted Massie Ritsch, a spokesman for the Washington-based Center for Responsive Politics, a campaign finance watchdog group. "The Democrats have already signaled that they're not going to be nearly as friendly to the industry as the Republicans have been."

And the industry has not laid the political groundwork to handle such a shift.

In other words, they did not give the Democrats any money to leave them alone. Ask Bill Gates about this.
In other words, government is for sale. Pay off both sides or pay the consequences.
