Time will telll .....

I worry about the after effects of the folks who waded thru these waters ...we not decontaminated and now have spread out across the land

Hopefully everything will work out

 

[TheRightWing]

Doc wants as many as possible body bags full so Bush looks bad and how frikin sick is that!!

 

[eek.]

Sounds good so far.

I thought that many elderly folks would have got caught in the flood.

TRW exposing himself once again for what a true jackass you are ....

You are really stupid .... Limbaugh made those same comments so goes to prove the Right is made up of complete jackasses ... yeah, sure, the Left wants to see 50,000 dead?

With ZERO body count Bush looks REAL BAD as his approval numbers are now @ 38% and the jackasses like yourself are so desperate and reaching for straws that they are making idiotic statements

TRW once again with a commentary that truly unveils just how sick he really is

 

[BettorDays]

has anyone heard what the gov. of louisiana said about "if a major storm weree to hit the residents of new orleans would be on their own? is there any truth to this? just wondering cuz i heard it in passing once.

 

[Redneckman]

Bettor Days, it is true.

Guys: THE TEAM dropped the ball ...from Bush down to the Mayor of New Orleans

 

[BettorDays]

wow... if that is true it makes absolutely no sense to me why everyone is hating on bush when the govenor of that state doesnt care about his own people...i guess its really cool to hate bush now...for any reason.. maybe we should blame him for the obesity in this country too. that seems to be the only one left. hey bush ima fatty and its all ur fault!

You are missing the point .... THE TEAM dropped the ball
Bush cut funding for NO by 80% last year to pay for his war .... the initial response from Bush and his reaction reminded too many folks of 9-11 ... wanted tried to enforce
Martial law and that is why the gov backed off initially on
help from Washington

Bush loves to gloat about "success" as you recall with his BS stunt on the carrier in SD declaring "Mission Accomplished" and then when the heat came down they denied knowing how that banner showed up even though it was directives from the Bush administration

There is a reason Bushs approval ratings are tumbling ... the lies of this administration are no longer being bought by Americans

#s are coming in low very low!!

Democrats are deeply saddned.

Also, there can be at least 197 deaths attributed to Nor'easters during the winter season here in the northeast for us 'po crackers in this region.
And I am not comparing the two,the devastaion down south is no comparison,but nature takes its toll everywhere.

 

[SamOdom]

Democrats are deeply saddned.

Many wacky lefties are sad, these loons need to rethink everything that make them tick.

 

[docmercer--banned]

actually the Loons are jackasses like Patriot that are stupid enough to actually think the left wants dead Americans ...

Then again being Patriot loves seeing our kids die in Iraq I can understand why his warped brain movements work the way it does

Another sad statement from Patriot as this is what now defines how sick the Right has truly become ....

 

[TheRightWing]

what's even worse is it's so true and that the extreme left is hoping that dealth toll changes for the worse......just like Iraq and your daily death chart!!! Democraps are so worried about their power they want Americans dead so Bush looks bad.

 

[SamOdom]

doc, you know better! Dont you explore some 'Dem' websites?

Guys: THE TEAM dropped the ball ...from Bush down to the Mayor of New Orleans

Is this the new LIBERAL catch word...TEAM? Democrats know nothing about teamwork....their only purpose is divide the public to attempt to capture the votes,regardless whether what the say is true or not.

Typical liberal spin......how about rephrasing to read the way these things actually work:

Try this....from the Mayor up to Bush.Man those school buses wouldve been useful Dic, ooops I mean Doc.

On a micro-macro scale the blame should be shared. The most blame should lay on the mayor of New Orleans, then the Governor of Lousiana, and the Federal Government is least responsible. Btw, when Bush cut the funding the New Orleans Picayune stated that it was a "boondoggle" that Bush didn't cut the funding completely. Now these same people are trying to blame Bush. People need to understand how effective government works. The national government will ALMOST ALWAYS govern less efficiently than local/state governments. The only thing the Federal government should help with his post-disaster relief.

To get back on topic, I thought from the beginning that the death toll was drastically overstated. The statiscians who approximated 10,000+ deaths are probably the same ones who said Kerry was gonna win Florida by 11% with the exit polls.

 

[TheRightWing]

Mayor Blanco prediction was 10K those libs just want to make Bush look as terrible as possible and now their sadden the numbers are a lot lower than expected

#s are coming in low very low!!arty: arty:

Only if you believed the ridiculous estimate of 10,000 that was thrown out in the beginning. They did the same thing on 9/11; throw out a ridiculously high estimate in the beginning for the public to chew on so it won't seem so bad when the true count is taken.

Who are "THEY"? The Mayor of N.O. used 10K 1st then the news ran with it.
