**I know lotsa folks(honestly registered Republicans) in the New Orleans area who do blame Presidnt Bush.**
That is fine. These people are idiots to permit MeeMaw and Nagin shift blame. And that the corrupt Mary Landrieu played to this stupid crowd after stealing an election says more about these so-called Republicans than anything else.
Oh well...I guess they will re-elect Democrats. Remind me now how this is going to affect the Republican party in that area...
No, they are not idiots. What they are is angry, very angry and need someone or something to blame for the levee failures. I was absolutely amazed at their reactions and actions. Remember it is a common belief that the levee failures were a result of federal policies and with very little if any blame toward the local levee boards. I am not endorsing their positions I am just telling you what I heard. And as far as elected officials (Republican ones) affected by the storm, maybe you could ask Jindal or Vitter.
