    I was in the....it's the hurricanes fault group...

    Until the Democrats went on the attack...Is it really hard to see their motivations? I mean what do they have to lose? Control of the Presidency and both houses of congress?


    About the only Democrat not placing blame is Blanco...I wonder why.

    It's funny that the Democrats get so much flack for their attack machine, when the republicans have been king of the attack game for so many years. Attacking has been proven to be successful, even more so if the media were liberal owned.

    Actually...it's never worked...the attack game didn't work against Clinton...and it hasn't worked against Bush.

    The approach that works is the...let them shoot themselves in the foot approach...Bush has done this several times...However the Democratic repsonse was to shoot themselves in both feet...EG...naming a commie traitor responsible for the deaths of millions, and whose greatins achievment was championing losing a war, as their Presidential Nominee, during a war....

    They are trying too hard...try doing something productive other than attacking Bush for a change...it plays to their hardcore voters...but it alienates everyone else.

    The (successful) republican attack machine made you think Kerry was a commie, but he is far from it.

    No...Kerry did himself in just fine without any help from W. His history and track record speak for themselves.

    Question....where are they pumping all this polluted water?

    Are they it pumping back into Lake Ponchetrain...pollution and all.....won't this invite even more problems environmentally?

    That "water" has petroleum, human waste, and a variety of chemicals....why can't they filter it in some way to ease the the environmental reprocussions of putting that water into the eco-system?

    Kinda reminds me of the Love Canal.

    ^^^^that and the fact that if celebs and media can hang out there during the storm and get there before helps arrives, no reason why it should have taken so long.

    The Corps of Engineers was monitoring pollutant levels as the are pumping the water. They said if they start to find an dangerous levels that may harm the environment, they would make some sort of changes to their strategies. I don't know if that means filtering, stoping the pumping or pumping the water elsewhere.

    Well, where else can the water be sent? I don't believe anyone wants to wait the decade it would take for the EPA to bureaucraticize the removal of the water from NO.

    You know, if FEMA had requisitioned a ton of and spent hundreds of million$ in advance of Katrina, only to see it dissipate or not turn into a disaster then Nbadanbot would be googling articles criticizing that.

    Same old song and the tunes still suck.

    Why, George Bush's fault, of course.
