You are making an excellent argument for less Federal taxes.

Sure. President Bush himself often says "It's *your* money."
So why aren't taxes lower? Why isn't the Federal gummint shrinking? Why is
the national debt ballooning to levels that would have the IMF and World
Bank cutting off any 3rd world country's credit line?

What do you think is going to happen when oil is more expensive than ever,
and Uncle Sam's credit cards are maxed out, and the administration that's
broken promises, broken Iraq, left us less capable of protecting
ourselves, less capable of defending ourselves, and with fewer
constitutional rights... and not only that, *still* hasn't outlawed
abortion or gay marriage like it's 'base' wants...

If you voted for him even once, then you were badly fooled. He revealed
his true colors long ago.

I'll state the same, I will not vote for George W. Bush for elected office
ever again.

I've heard a great deal of complaint in recent days that the federal

city and state residents were waiting around for the federal
government to send enough money to upgrade this, instead of paying for
it themselves.

Because it's under Federal jurisdiction and the Corps of Engineers won't
let them? Because the Federal gummint takes sucha huge chunk out of
everybody;s income in taxes that they don't have enough left in local
budgets to pay hundreds of millions for levee construction?

From where do you get the idea that the Corps was responsible for the levees
that failed? The ones that failed were not on intracoastal waterways.

.... you guys have managed to
pick leaders who give you the worst of both worlds - they're scandal
ridden and incompetent in a crisis.

Ahem. What about those buses left unused, less than a mile from the
Superdome?



We failed you? No, oh brilliant creator of Exit to Eden, you failed.
You might not think of it this way, but: Your leaders failed to upgrade
the levees. You elected a bunch of weepers and blame-shifters who lost
their head in a crisis.

Who exactly is playing "the blame game" here?

Is it the ones who cannot stand to have any criticism of Bush, Cheney,
or that matter, Halliburton, aired publicly?


.... I'd
appreciate a little less "you failed us" and a little more "we've
learned our lesson."


So would I.

Maybe President Bush's staff, who literally spent days *after* the
hurricane arguing among themselves to decide who would be the 'bearer of
bad news' and suggest to the President that he end his vacation early,
could answer some of these questions.

Doug, maybe you should read this before you start throwing stones at the Corps
of Engineers.

Of course, it won't support your bs propaganda, but it *is* interesting.

Now, why is it no surprise to see this 100% partisan blaming going on?

So now partisanship is a sin?

Why is it that you alwaysheard the "Bi-partisan" was something un-holy?

ok.."partisan blaming going on?"

Guess thats what you call it when what ever the subject, from 9/11 to
New Orleans, and anything in between, "It's ALL Bush's fault"

Now THAT'S "partisan blaming!"
