6. Why don't Democrats care about New Orleans?

I don't know. I think they let the media control the issue, and tell us how New Orleans is bad, how it's full of looters and crackheads, and honestly, Democrats seem to accept this.

Does the near-daily South-bashing I see on DU have anything to do with it? I don't know. I don't know why my so-called fellow citizens feel okay writing off a major US city and its inhabitants. I don't expect us to be at the top of anybody's wish list, because I've lost that much faith in humanity since Katrina hit.
