I’m sure the president’s stand on Kyoto caused that tornado, too.

The Iraq war has been going on for 4 years now. The Kansas government has had plenty of time to prepare for this situation. It’s not rocket science..........

Another Female Democrat Governor...
...another failed disaster preparedness blame game?
To: bw17
Ok, Bush's fault, slow government response, if we weren't in Iraq we'd have more resources to use here at home, call out the National Guard, looters, line up at the starting line, Bush hates black people, call for [
Current target's name here] to resign, three million congressional investigations to prove it's Bush's fault and that [
Current target's name here] must resign, impeach Bush yeada yada yada yada.
What happened in Kansas is tragic. This country does not need petty politicians turning tragidy into comedy like they did with New Orleans

She said the state has a shortage of heavy equipment transport trailers, pallet-sized loading systems, Humvees, dump trucks and other large equipment that would be help move massive amount of debris.
the main purpose of the national guard is defense, not picking up after natural disasters.

It is the first F-5 since the weather service revised its scale this year, in an effort to more comprehensively gauge tornadoes damage potential, with less emphasis on wind speed. I guess since they are now lowering the bar, we are going to now have a lot more F5 tornados. And the Dims can blame it on global warming and/or Bush.

As a former Kansan, I have a lot of friends there and not a one of them likes this POS they have for a governor. Of course, they are all conservative.

“the state has a shortage of heavy equipment transport trailers, pallet-sized loading systems, Humvees, dump trucks and other large equipment that would be help move massive amount of debris.”
....and, an OVERABUNDANCE of farm trucks, front end loaders, tractors, hay trailers, etc. etc. not to mention able-bodied men and women.
C’mon...it’s ONE small town.
[no disrespect to those who suffered]
It’s not like this is the ‘FIRST’ nor the last tornado Kansas will see....or am I mistaken....???
To: KingSnorky
“Im sure the presidents stand on Kyoto caused that tornado, too.”
Actually, if I have bad traffic this morning, it’s Bush’s fault. If I feel tired and find it hard to concentrate, it’s Bush’s fault. If someone treats me poorly today, it’s Bush’s fault. If any of my investments lose money today, it’s Bush’s fault. Everything is Bush’s fault, except anything that can be construed as good of course.

the main purpose of the national guard is defense, not picking up after natural disasters. That's very true!........But when you have an agenda to push, who's checking the little details?........
