This problem in New Orleans (and MS) is not

so much an indictment of the government

action and/or inaction but an indictment on the
liberal "war on poverty."

No,,it's a reintroduction to the poverty stricken and an awakening to
the widening gap between the rich and the poor. Since 2001, more than 4
million people have declined to poverty level.

The city of New Orleans has a Democrat

leader, the State of Louisiana has a

Democratic governor.

Indeed they do...and the local monies for flood containment and
improvements come from the federal government...the Bush admin gave a
pittance of what was recommended and asked for by the Army Corps of
Engineers in NO.

The war on poverty is a total failure in the

state of Louisiana...under DEMOCRAT

LEADERSHIP. No?

It's the republicans always waging "war" on their own people, whether it
be their lost war on drugs (that theyre too stupid and arrogant to
realize and too embarrassed to admit), their lost "war" on homeless, or
as you say,,,"poverty".
Don't lose sight of things, though, Kevin, as Bush loves the poor,,,,,he
makes so many of them.

Then why are there so many "poor" in New

Orleans (70% below "poverty level)?

The issue isn't poverty, it was the failure of the Bush admin to respond
to calamity in a timely manner. After all, this is the president who
told us he would protect us, that we were better off with him.

It certainly isn't from "Republican

obstructionism" because all of the leaders are

Democrats.

I think your republican clown Richard Baker (R-Baton Rouge) spoke for
the mindset of many repubs last week when he said "We finally cleaned up
public housing in NO. We coldn't do it, but God did it."
Or perhaps you prefer the words of Barbara Bush, who said those people
who were moved to Houston were so much better off because of it.

It's because the "poor" are the cash cow of the
Democratic party. Democrats get their glory

from counting the number of people they are

helping. Republicans get their glory from the

number of people who NO LONGER NEED

THEIR HELP.

Un****ing real. I thought you way more intelligent than that, Kevin. You
are working the demos into your bull**** as one more way the sorry
repubs abdicate responsibility. Never mind Brownie wasn't even fired
after it was learned he lied (that's right... LIED) on his resume
concerning his personal experience with emergecy management. He said he
was an "Assistant City Manager" in Edmond Oklahoma on his resume, yet
city officials there confirmed to Time Magazine that Brown was an
assistant TO the City Manager, that they never had an "Assistant City
Manager" position and that his job was that not unlike an INTERN. But
that didn't stop Bush from giving this inexperienced cronie the
position. Gee, more failed Intel from the Bush admin,,,,this admin can't
even confirm a resume, and you want them running the country an in
charge of security. Then again, perhaps they -did- check his resume and
they didn't give a damn that he had no experience regarding emergencies
and disaster response whatsoever.

Give a man a fish (welfare check, WIC, food

stamps...) and he'll eat for a day (and come

back for more tomorrow, vote for you on

election day and teach his children the tricks

of the trade).

Tricks: Brownie was hired by Bush simply because Bush trusted his friend
Joe Allbaugh, who was W's chief of staff as governor of Texas. Allbaugh
and Brownie were college roommates. Brownie is a failed attorney from a
semi-credited law school* (*according to theNew Republic). His career
experience is largely comprised of being a judge for the Arabian Horse
Association. Unbelievable, huh? But Bush hired him to be in charge of
tis country's disaster response. Shows he really cares, eh?

Teach a man to fish (teach him skills, give him
a meaningful job, teach him accountability)

and he'll have food for a lifetime and teach it to
his children.

Of course, we know what the Bush admin teaches,,,,,,they are out of
touch. Five of the top FEMA execs of the Bsuh admin come with zero
experience regarding disaster response. They are simply Bush loyalists
who were rewarded.

And we can't forget the White House Aid who said, two days after the
disaster, "Getting truth on the ground in NO was very difficult". Guess
she didn't have a TV. See, the facts of the matter stink up your attack
of democrats and your trying to politicize this failure of the Bush
admin. The breakdown began almost as soon as Bush took office. This
disaster merely illustrates the Bush admin incompetence. Twenty four
hours after 25,000 people were trapped in the NO convnetion center,
Brown did NOT know these people were there. He learned of it only after
the WH Aid physically carried into the oval office a wire story
detailing the victims crying and begging for help on every news channel.
As Maureen Dowd said,,,"Perhaps tomorrow that same Aid will come in with
another wire story "NO WMDS in IRAQ".
