Democrats fault Bush's Katrina response Sat Sep 2

In the year since Hurricanes Katrina and Rita struck the Gulf Coast, the Bush administration has been sluggish in helping devastated areas recover, a prominent Mississippi Democrat said in his party's Saturday radio address.

'Unfortunately, though there has been progress to remedy the problems caused by Hurricane Katrina, here we are one year later and many residents still remain displaced and homes and communities still need to be rebuilt,' said Rep. Bennie Thompson (news, bio, voting record), D-Miss. 'In my own home state, thousands of people are still homeless. And throughout the Gulf Coast, 80 percent of businesses with approved federal disaster loans are still waiting for their money.'

Thompson said Democratic efforts to jump-start reconstruction efforts were undermined by Republicans, who 'let partisanship get in the way of doing the right thing.'

Nationally, two-thirds of Americans disapprove of President Bush's handling of the Katrina disaster, according to an AP-Ipsos poll last month. Democrats hope to capitalize on that dissatisfaction in this fall's midterm elections.

Thompson, the senior Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, also noted the upcoming fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

'Despite multiple warnings of future and possible man-made or natural disasters, the Bush administration and the rubber-stamp Republican Congress have failed to adequately prepare our nation, leaving us

'There are remarkably troubling gaps that exist in our homeland security,' Thompson said, accusing the administration of ignoring the recommendations of the Sept. 11 Commission. 'Time and time again, Republicans have blocked Democratic efforts to implement and fund these recommendations to ensure our safety.'

and cheney is the president. bush is the greeter.

You must have slept through high school civics; either that, or you're so biased and eager to blame Republicans that you'd foist these errors on the newsgroups and pretend they are true.

Check your constitution: the federal government does not respond to disasters other than war.

Things like evacuations and taking care of refugees is local government's responsibility. The local governments REFUSED to cooperate with the federal government for disaster relief (which the fed isn't even suppose to be doing!)

I suppose you'll manage to convince the people that it's all the Republican's fault, and then you Democrats will kill a few thousand more people with your incompetance. But you'll find a way to blame the Republicans for that, too, won't you?

After all, Democrat leaders don't give a rats ass about how many people they kill. What matters is pushing the cause of socialism. Like in all socialist societies, people are expendable.

Civic? Is that something like physics?

That's odd, I can't seem to find socialist, liberals, commies and other such terms defined on my SI units and constants tables. The closest I can come to anything quantifiable is redneck and pinko, which appear to indeed have at least credible hexadecimal equivalents.

Could you give us an equation or something? Anything?

Democrats have not killed anyone. The Republican party is in charge and all deaths are on their shoulders. Far too many

What deaths?

OK!
