Read my lips, NO NEW KATRINA AID

[Bluebear]

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration offered no new aid for Hurricane Katrina victims in the budget it released Monday, instead putting modest amounts of money into preparedness and response plans for future disasters.

Compassionate conservatives.

1. ". . . compassion is a human quality to which

frugality could never possibly apply. . ."

2. Motherf@ckers.

3. OMG. I just assumed that was why Landrieu voted for ScAlito....to get $$$$

for her state? So? Why the hell DID SHE vote for ScAlito? Is Landrieu anti-choice?

THIS is UNFORGIVABLE! Why isn't she SCREAMING about this? Hell, Hurricane season is just a few months away!

5. She's a fool and a coward.

6. None of our so-called "elected representatives" come from poor or....

....middle class roots anymore. They are ALL quite wealthy, GOPers and Dems alike, and their interests are the same as those of the Top 1% they so ably represent.

8. If She Voted Against Alito, ** Was Going to Send Brownie Back to NOLA

11. Because she is a coward.

I don't buy this "she is in a red state and has to vote like that" line anymore.

4. I bet that $$ will go to Halliburton and KBR for the heckuva job they are

doing (not) rebuilding Iraq.

7. Thought I read somewhere her Dad and Bush are friends

Myself, I have been suspicious of her since she was elected.

9. K&R. "putting modest amounts of money into preparedness and response"

Like the shoring up the NOLA levees project, it's just token cash to be cut from the budget at a later date. :grr:



On edit: sometimes typos spell actual words!

10. Katrina, Readiness, Terra are all facets of the same matrix

Bush screwed up on Katrina - destroys his credibility on Readiness and Terra.

13. It is almost as if it never happened for them. No it is that it never

happened for them. George Bush doesn't care about anybody. :grr:

[Bluebear]

14. Bush can pimp 9/11 years later, but Katrina made him look bad.

So he is going to forget it ever happened.
