I think we are saying the same thing in different ways. There are both republicans and democrats to blame for various activities and inactivites. It was not President Bush's responsiblity to see to it that school busses were used to transport evacuees. But the mayor should have had a major catastrophe evacuation plan already in place that included those busses. Likewise, the La. governor dropped the ball in her weak disaster response plan. President Bush was responsibile for his appointment of Michael Brown as FEMA director. He is accountable for his actions as well.

Like I said, republicans? . . democrats? . . who cares. Whomever they are, if they screwed up, then they need to stand accountable to tax payers and to congress.

Politicians don't need to accept responsibility on their own. . .congress can force it on them. Taxpayers pay their salaries. Taxpayers can demand accountability.

We just need to refrain from the complacency that has cut off our voice and legs so often in the past. We need to continue to speak out.
