  Cool. Maybe they can do an ad with the only US Senate candidate in Kentucky who gets money direct with BP.

  Simple Jack.

  Unfortunately for you, Rand Paul staffer, your man has some explaining to do.

  Because there are too many questions surrounding his businesses, alleged non-profits, and the family’s 501(c)4 group(s). Not to mention the deeper familial ties to the big oil industry that go deeper than the small amount of money Jack Conway received from BP.

  But keep spinning.

  Hilarious Jake… THe ad is so misleading it’s a joke. 2.5 million are not all from bp. TONS of oil seeps naturally every day. By the most aggressive estimate from the bp spill it doesn’t even get close to 2.5 million per day.

  Who cares? Obviously – you – someone working for an energy firm.

  So it’s ok to lie in an ad?

  i’m for accuracy, from both sides. Of course in this toxic political environment, we won’t get it.

  While not 2.5 million gallons, the aggressive estimate isn’t too far off. The latest is up to 39 million gallons so far.

  But keep spinning from your cushy energy job.

  Finding out that Obama’s campaign received a cool million from BP kind of steps on the message, whatever the message is here.

  Sounds like you’re using GWB fuzzy math mr. jake.

• 9 jake // May 28, 2010 at 10:08 am

  Really?

  Read every major news article about the spill the past 24 hours.

  If you’ve got a problem with the ad… here’s a hint… I didn’t produce it. Take your hypocritical complaint(s) elsewhere.

  BP has given money to several politicians. That’s not a crime. Trust me – ALL of them would accept. That’s politics as usual.

  The crime is BP should have taken precautions to prevent these types of catastrophies. I would say Jake’s estimates are pretty close. It’s a lot worse than what BP is stating. In just one day they’ve gone from “it’s modest” to “it’s an environmental catastrophe,” the latter being the truth (finally).

  Yes, we need energy, but we need to put human life before profits.

  Jake. I do hope you have a story ready about Jack Conway’s taking of BP money.

• 12 SimplyPut // May 28, 2010 at 10:32 am

  BG: I don’t think that would be much of a story. So what?

• 13 BG // May 28, 2010 at 11:30 am

  Simplyput. A candidate who has been known to take contributions from an Energy company (LG&E) and then side with them when rate hikes happen is a story. Same politician who takes money from BP then goes to DC to regulate them…… The guy has a history of being bought.

  I don’t think it was fair of Palin to point to campaign contributions from BP to the President……..and for the same reason, I don’t think this ad is fair. If anyone thinks this spill had something to do with donations to McConnell, I would think they need their heads examined.
