The lack of compassion for these people down there by some of the people on this board is disconcerting. I truely feel sad for you people. It has already been explained why most of these people couldn’t leave, but you guys seem not to care. Just goes to show that if this is your opinoin and you support Bush then that explains alot about why Bush did nothing substantial for days. How come you people would support helpping the poor Iraqies out even though many of them bring it on themselves but when a hurricane comes and some people need help afterwards because they didn’t leave befor hand you say “oh well” ? You realize that in 10 years you people will be the but end of jokes because of your unbelievable defense of Bush. I don’t care if your a republican either, there are good republicans out there, I just think Bush is a terrible president and is making the country worse and worse. ---

on a side note: has anyone heard anything about some governing body deciding to intentionally bust a levee so that the flooding could be ‘controlled’ and directed away from the french quarter? but in doing so would overwhelm the low-middle income areas ---

Just for the record, I said nothing in defense of Bush. Maybe the immediate families of disabled people that were not removed before the storm should pay for the rescue efforts. Also the people that were able to walk out days before and did not walk out should be charged for thier rescue. There is NO EXCUSE for people to NOT react when they had DAYS of warnings. I am tired of paying for other peoples ignorance! I feel truely bad for the children and the disabled that suffered from this easily avoidable tragedy. ---

Well we have hurricannes nearly every year and it seemed the fed government didn’t prepare at all. how about the local government takes care of itself and its residents… there’s a new idea (one born about the time the constitution was written) ---

There is not a single state in the union that could handle this situation. And if you tired of paying taxes then get the fuck out. Go live some where else. These are fucking Americans, they are our people. You want to charge them for thier rescue!? You low life fucks. ---

First off; save the name calling and drama for ubrf. If I could go somewhere with lower taxes I would but, the USA is the lowest. Growing up I was taught that if I want help from someone else I first I had to help myself. These people sat there and waited to get hit then they bitched that nobody helped them. 90% of the people still there probably contribute very little or nothing to society. ONCE AGAIN, I FEEL BAD FOR THE CHILDREN, SENIORS, AND OTHER DISABLED PEOPLE THAT WERE CAUGHT UP IN THIS AVOIDABLE TRAGEDY. MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO THEM. ---

“On Day 3, when you finally left your vacation home, I have to say I was moved by how you had your Air Force One pilot descend from the clouds as you flew over New Orleans so you could catch a quick look of the disaster. Hey, I know you couldn’t stop and grab a bullhorn and stand on some rubble and act like a commander in chief. Been there done that.” i love that ignorant statement. Perhapse he doesnt realize how much planing it takes for the president to even visit a “safe” zone? Does he think that the pres is going to touch down on a runway full of looters and people wielding guns? Moore is the reason people think so fucked up today. People like that should be shot and pissed on, they would rather make contriversy over a single detail than accept the situation as a whole. ---

But seroiusly Bush couldn’t take a break from one of his many vacations. Hell seems like once/twice a month he’s on vacation. And I like the comment the levy could withstand “only” a catagory 3 hurricane. Apparently people seem to forget how much power wind/water have. But the people down there really are not doing anything to help. (By people I mean those living there) And as for the shot/pissed on comment. Indeed but by doing that we would be one step closer to 1984. :tdown: ---
