According to Brian Williams, there is no functioning
government
in
Haiti. I suppose they were pretty bad before and I imagine
that
was
not helped when a significant number of the bureaucrats are
missing
since their building went down.

I suspect the rapid response may have something to do with
the
number
of Haitians in this country (close to a half million) and a
lot
are
in
swing states.

That's completely ridiculous and racist. It's about people
dying,
while
Rush
sits on his thumbs and proclaims it's an Obama ploy and don't
give
money
to
help them.

It may be ridiculous but hardly racist since both groups of
victims
are predominantly black.

As though that's the reason Obama responded with dispatch. Like
I
said....

You are the only one who brought up race. If this was in Memphis
he
would be reacting quickly too. They are all trying to say this
is
no
Katrina and Obama is finally getting a chance to do something he
can
succeed at where Bush failed.

"Finally getting a chance"??? Any president would act without
regard
to
where or the color of their skin. Even Bush reacted, albeit
slowly.
You
said, ""redominantly black." Those are your words not mine.

My only thought about the political power of the Haitians is how
the
Florida pols are acting. We have the largest Haitian population
in
the
US here and that is not lost on Bill Nelson. (Our D senator).
They
would really like to replace LeMieux, the Martinez seat filler,
with
another D.

Political power has nothing to do with it. This isn't a political
issue,
it's a humanitarian crisis.

Every international issue is political. Or, that's what it turns
out
to be....

Perhaps, but in this case we're talking primarily about humanitarian
aid.

And just watch. It will turn political.

Just look at what happened right here. Harry and the plum questioning
whether and how much individuals did or didn't give to help the folks
in Haiti, as though it's any of their business.

America needs Obamacare like Nancy Pelosi needs a Halloween mask

John H

Please show me where I questioned how much someone did or didn't give..
You're a liar... that's nothing new.

You're so sickeningly innocent...

"Well, we know you're certainly not going to show up... doubtful
you'll make a financial contribution either. I'm sure you have limited
means, but even a dollar or three would help."

What I give or don't give is none of your business. Make your own
donation and hush.

As I said, I didn't question how much you did or didn't give. I offered a
suggestion. I don't care what you do. You're not qualified to tell me to
"hush."

No, D"plume. You suggested with a hint of foresight that he would not
be contributing anything to any charities, nor would he be going to
Haiti to lend humanitarian assistance.

No Mr. Woof. I stand by my comment.

Actually, my name is Nofinger, but if you wish to call me Woof, that's
totally acceptable.

And your independent thought is true. You are not average so he is not
qualified to tell you to "hush."

You're on a rant, but continue.

Nom=de=Plume

You are confusing me with someone else, D'Plume.

I have no rant. But if you wish to believe that I do have a rant, then
that is perfectly acceptable as well, because you have proven you are
not average.
