Here are a FEW facts:
1. FEMA has never been a "first responder" in times of disaster or emergency. First responders have always been local or state agencies such as fire, rescue and police departments. FEMA is a bunch of MANAGERS whose job is to hand out money and coordinate other agencies. Jimmy Carter created FEMA via a Presidential Executive Order. I could easily argue that its authority is TOTALLY unconstitutional because it by passes congressional oversight! Every president since and including Carter has used FEMA to dole out tax money for the purpose of buying votes! Simply put, FEMA is a federal vote buying cash cow!
2. Louisiana and New Orleans have to be the most politically corrupt regions of our country! Of course its a democrap stronghold. Their thievery and ineptitude is legendary! For years they redirected or stole Billions of federal tax dollars meant to maintain and repair New Orleans Levees and provide for emergencies! Democraps claim Bush cut funding but that's a flat out lie!
3. A governor must formally request aid from federal agencies such as FEMA. To my knowledge, Louisiana's governor Blanco has never made a formal request other than to bitch, complain and cry on national TV! I understand Blanco refused initial help from numerous states, federal agencies and private interest. She wouldn't allow the Red Cross to enter New Orleans. She turned down a request from Amtrak to help evacuate people from New Orleans. She turned down initial offers of help from states such as Florida and Texas. When Bush initially offered help she said "I'll get back with you .." Did you know that Bush had to personally beg governor Blanco and mayor Nagin to give the evacuation order!
4. Mayor Nagin ignored his own evacuation plans! Once the evacuation order was given, their plan called for the use of every available means of transportation to evacuate citizens without personal transportation! That means school busses too! Other than announce the evacuation, he did nothing! Eventually the busses where made useless by the flood waters! I believe New Orleans had an evacuation drill less than a year ago so he can't claim he didn't know about the plan! Fortunately, a few people had the foresight to take matters in their own hands.

5. Democraps are without character and their isn't a single credible leader among them! What single act of leadership by Blanco or Nagin can compare to former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani after the Trade Towers fell on 9/11! I watched Blanco and Nagin bitch, wine, curse and debase our President on national TV. There has been a virtual parade of democraps on TV that have used this opportunity to demean Bush and berate the American people! These people are vile loathsome disgusting pathetic parasites! Many are simply useful idiots (http://www.townhall.com/columnists/t...20030520.shtml) but others are the Fifth Column (http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9034225)!
If the flooding of New Orleans hasn't already become the most costly U.S. natural disaster, it will be soon! For those who claim we're not doing enough to help them, they're either an idiot, a fool or a democrap! See http://www.detnews.com/2005/nation/0...A01-303419.htm
In front of my house is a pot hole in the street, I guess I should blame Bush using the logic of democraps!
