"Watching family members and others cling to rooftops in Hurricane Katrina, I wonder whether or not the absence of attention [to the recovery effort] is attributable to the loss of a vote in 2000 and 2004," U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a Democrat from California, said.

Point of information.
Could the Congressperson please explain how she could see the race of people clinging to rooftops, and how she could tell that white people were being rescued, while black people are being left clinging.
Has she considered that what she saw was courtesy of various television corporations who were only able to show a small portion of all the rescues that were occuring. President Bush mentioned the number of sorties in his briefing last week at Northern Command. It was in the tens of thousands.
Is she aware that many of the African-American residents who appeared at the Convention Center, were taken there by rescue boats and helicopters - that they were high, dry, safe, and not clinging to a rooftop as a result of the efforts of rescuers of all races.
I could go on.....
I know, me too. I wonder how long it took him to cut & paste that thing, LOL!
I suggest, We remove this entire thread. Whoever CNS is, can't even get the facts right.
Or a racist whore... and IS there a really a difference? Most probably not.
Flip side of the same coin.
Idiot reporters... Sheila "Mars Rover" Jackson Lee hails from Houston, TX, as I recall.
that reminds me of a report i heard on Rush a couple months ago about some environmental group complaining about high tension wires and transformers were killing birds across the US. the report stated that 50,000,000 birds a year were killed... you'd think people would notice that many birds piled on the ground ... the way these people throw out numbers is painful
It's been shown that the Dinosaurs went extinct due to voter suppression.
This makes no damned sense to me.
What does one issue have to do with the other?
It has been said, and I'm sure it was true, that the dems had no problems sending busses to get those folks out to vote. Where were the busses during the flooding?
A stark raving "stuck on stupid moonbat", who needs to have those cornrow braids cut around her head, I do believe, they are channeling toxic rays from the sun to her small useless brain.
He didn't find any. I figure that the situation must be OK, if he couldn't even find someone to lie for him.

Well, whoever said it was named Lee - and they do sound like they read from the same page all the time.
Maybe the writer was using a literary device of combining the two women. LOL!
I believe you. Oh, and it's Bush's fault. There were plenty of dinosaurs around before he was selected, not elected.
Not even creative...
Wait a minute. She left out Bull Conner!
What real evidence does exist proves that, rather than being suppressed, in many cities, particularly Philadelphia and St. Louis, minority voter turnout approached or exceeded 100% of the registered voters. In Milwaukee, African-American democrat operatives were convicted of flattening tires on a fleet of vehicles that was to be used by republicans to drive the elderly or those without transportation to the polls. Dems love the "Big Lie" approach. Republicans are more interested in hard evidence.
