You're ignoring other things Chris and Rachel mentioned, like "Bobby" invoking Katrina as an example of why we can't depend on government. Seriously? It had nothing to do with Republicans cramming a little known independent agency called FEMA into Homeland Security to 'consolidate' government?
Actually, uh, it is a classic example as to why we can't rely totally on the government.
Of course you deliver your typical hack nonsense and give no blame to the Democratic Governor at the time.
There was plenty of blame to go around to be sure, but people seem to forget that Government is a tool used to accomplish a goal used by the party in power.
The Democrats in Louisiana deserve some of the blame, but Bush seemed generally disinterested in the affair and FEMA (which deserves the most blame) was horrifically mismanaged and ran in the run-up to the landing of the hurricane.
I certainly won't deny that the federal end was a mess but I think we need to hear more about all levels of government that failed during that time.
Definitely, but I'm sure you can agree that after 8 years of Republican dominance the Republican response being catered directly at railing against the recent failures of government was an unusual strategy to say the least.
Well of course admission is the first step to recovery right?
