" ignored the people of the Gulf states suffering from the aftereffects of Katrina. There is no such thing as compassionate conservatism" Are you still blaming the wrong people for the incompetence of Blanco and Nagin? When you are so partisan that you fantasize about Democrats incompetence being blamed on President Bush, how do you expect anyone to respect your opinion? "Look, I can't help it if you don't understand how disaster relief works. " Nagrin was the one who left hundreds of busses to be destroyed by flood. Just that act not only stranded thousands of residents, but it destroyed over a million dollars worth of busses. Now of course you wanted President Bush to show up right away so he could get pictures taken and show that had so little respect for the well being of others that he would have been there right away regardless of how much it slowed relief efforts. Oh, yes and you also wanted President Bush to ignore the Posse Comatatus laws and send in the Army and take over Louisiana without Blanco's request. "You know what.....you're right. They should never have left those buses out so that if the worst happened, they would be vulnerable to flooding. In disaster planning, the people in charge are supposed to prepare for the absolute worst case scenario. Clearly NO did not..........of course it had been many years, if ever, that the seawalls had been breeched." Maybe instead of squandering the federal money they had previously received to bolster their levies, Democrats should have spent it on what the federal government gave it to them on. Actually, there is no maybe; democrats in New Orleans were down right criminal to redirect levee money to other causes they could get graft from more easily. They should have tested the condition of the levies periodically too. I will always remember the pictures of New Orleans school busses under water and contrast them with Houston school busses evacuating people over the bridge out of Houston. That is the image of the difference between democrats and Republicans, and the lesson from the Hurricane. "So stop with the complaining about Nagin. He was part of the problem..." Someday you will realize that 99% of the problem that was not caused by Mother Nature was caused by democrats. It goes back over years of democrat corruption in squandering levee money and extends all the way up to the democrat governor who refused to authorize the National Guard to assist. The director of homeland security took a bullet for all of those corrupt and or incompetent democrats.
