Question

what will Barbara Bush do if "those people" are forced to relocate to Houston again ?

Answer 1

Yes.  There is an election coming up so they want us to think they care.

Answer 2

The GOP and the Dems don't do hurricane responses - sorry.  That rests with the afected cities and States. Federal Agencies provide support.  NEXT!!!

Answer 3

No. The policy is still: If the state and local government tell you they have it under control, then they must have it under control.

It looks as though the democrats in Louisiana have reversed their policy on the subject, though.

Answer 4

No....they just realize the liberals are not going to save anyone but themselves so they MUST step in to save the poor, old and scarde citizens.

Answer 5

Hmmm... no.

Answer 6

It's no wonder politicians continue the negative ads when the general populations posts gar bage like this.

Answer 7

Other than blind hatred for the GOP, What are you talking about?

Was there failures during Katrina? Yes. There were documentaries on TV years before Katrina saying New Orleans was below sea level and if it was hit by a cat 5 hurricane, it would likely flood to 15 feet. The first failure was people chose not to evacuate. (I evacuated for Isabel. The water was 6 inches in my living room.) What can the government do about that? Go door to door to arrest people? Those that wanted to evacuate but couldn't, needed to let someone know. Help was available. Next the city did not have a good plan. Mayor Nagin was a democrat. I think he effectively diverted the blame to the feds, he got re-elected. Did he not have any responsibility? Governor Blanco was a democrat, Did she not have any responsibility? I realize she had only been there a couple years. Let us not forget Louisiana's Democrat Congressman William Jefferson's use of two national guard trucks (that could have been used in rescues) to recover a things from his house (later we find he had money hidden in his freezer).

The so called republican point of view is, You are the first person responsible for yourself. If you need help, first you go to your family or friends. Then to the community or church, then the City, county, state, and last the feds.

The left end of the democrat party want the government to be responsible for everything in your life. I don't think you want that.

I know people that have lived in the USSR, Communist Vietnam, and Hitlers Germany. They all vote republican...been there, done that...

Then you turn to accusations and name calling. Trying to insinuate she is racist. Yet the republicans (the party of Lincoln) shot down David Duke's run, and the democrats elect Klan member Robert Byrd.

The left is into divide and conquer (see link below). Split people up by race, gender, sexual preference, wealth. Unfortunately many democrats don't recognize this. They then say the right is racist. The right looks at people as individuals. Doesn't matter what race or whatever. If they are qualified, they are qualified.

None are so blind as those that will not see. That is why it is called blind hatred.  

Answer 8

Yes-if , the right-winged corporate leaders,of this country, can quadruple their return, on every dollar invested, into reconstruction of destroyed cities,never-minding why and how many lives where lost. The GOP cares only,in how, to increase their monetary worth, at every opportunity,regardless of the number of human deaths and why they died. They are vultures only out to profit every opportunity to strike the most vulnerable,to multiply their numbers. They are the most morally bankrupt creatures to populate this earth. Think of the vultures who rankly corrupted the populace of the times in "The Dark Crystal"- the movie.

Answer 9

Can't imagine why?  What are you implying?

Answer 10

No.  Hence the President and Vice President both cancelling their appearances at the RNC.  While I pray for everyone in the gulf coast states, the other states have to keep on as normal.  

Stay strong NOLA!
