Careful with these 'amen's and calls for Jesus here.

The last thing we want to do is unleash a religious discussion here. It could almost be as catastrophic as Chickamunga I think.

[How could the Louisiana Governor and New Orleans mayor glad-hand potential voters in those poor, low-lying neighborhoods, look out at the horizon, see barges float by at EYE LEVEL, and not think to themselves, "Hmmm, I wonder how these people with no cars or mobility will get out of here if this levee breaks?"]

Who fucking CARES??? It's a DISASTER for Christ's sake! People are dead and dying. HELP THEM, motherfuckers!!! Straighten out the blame after you save as many as you can.
This attitude is appalling. It makes me sick.
I can't even comprehend it. It's like I'm listening to a different species or something.
This is not a liberal/conservative issue at all, it's about HUMANITARIANISM!!!
It's a DISASTER! An EMERGENCY! Get it? LOTS of people are dead, dying, and suffering. Who the FUCK cares whose fault it is. There'll be PLENTY of time to deal with that, ESPECIALLY if you're nowhere NEAR the disaster.
Jesus, please come soon, we're gettin' outta control down here...

The foundation of your argument is starting to crumble before my eyes.
Am I to believe that do indeed think that Presidential candidates should campaign for 15 years prior to an election, in order to allow for visits to every single neighborhood across this country? Not a bad idea, I must say, but is it practical?

That's not at all what i am saying, and I can't even begin to figure where you extracted that from my question. The topic was hollow promises given by politicians, and you claimed that NO and LA have always been built on hollow promises that got people elected.

15 years? What are you talking about? I never said anything about any time for campaigning.

Let's try again. My point is that you claim that George promised all these things, and that he is delivering, but there is still potholes and hookers in the city I live in, so I don't buy that ANY politician isn't filled with hollow promises that get them elected and they never come true. Your Blind Faith is really frightening to me. George Bush is not God, but it sure seems to me that you believe that.

As of Friday, the White House had not accepted any offers, but Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the State Department was "working very closely with the Department of Homeland Security to match up what is available with what is needed."

I don't see where the offers were turned down. "Not yet" and "Not" are different. I do see where they are trying to determine how many of the offers will be helpful, and where they will be helpful.

-Shuck Owens

Why would they even question an offer? Explain that? Why don't they just take it? Why does it need to be a question of whether we need it? Of course we do.

President Bush conducted handshake campaigning in every neighborhood of every medium sized US city, with promises to rid their neighborhoods of crack dealers, fix a pothole or schedule more convenient garbage pick-ups?

It never ceases to amaze me when people put such blind faith in the corporations that we call political parties and corrupt politicians to the point of denying what is happening right in front of their faces. It is just not humanly possible for any honest person to believe that Bush did a good job with this...that he did everything within his power to immediately help a desperate situation. Why is that we have to check common sense at the door when it comes to politics? We're not talking about your football team that you root for win or lose. When your politician loses and people die, it's not good enough to say: "Good try, you'll get 'em next time." Why not hold politicians accountable? Can't we all agree that the local politicians did a horrible job of preparing for such a disaster and Bush did a horrible job reacting after the fact? No, I'm sure we can't...because some of you are to busy rooting for your team to open your eyes to the truth.

Pardon me for not taking your word for this, but other than some self-serving offers from Castro and Chavez,I have yet to read that President Bush turned down foreign aid. In fact I did read about Canada, Spain and England's offers <manpower, food oil and monetary contributions> being accepted. If you're going to scratch your head as to why the offers of the above-mentioned dictators were turned down, well... the term "kick them while they're down" fits here.

Don't take my word for it, read it yourself....
