Nagin didn't mobilize and evacuate the people, and they vote him in anyway.

Pathetic is right.

All true, but Landrieu was the choice of the democrat establishment, the ones who deliberately refused to let President Bush federalize the relief effort. They killed their own people for political gain, at the behest of democrat scum like Mike Mcurry. Nagin is incompetent, even childish, but maybe sincere.

Failure always brings you more success in the Democrat party. It's what they are all about.

Ray and NOLA deserve each other.

Wonder when (if?) he'll move his family back there from Houston?

Or maybe he's gonna commute?

I heard a lot of "voters" today saying Nagin should get re-elected because he wasn't afraid to stand up to Bush after Katrina. I think this is a perfect example of how much damage drugs can do to your brain.

I did not vote for Nagin in the Election however, there is NO EXCUSE whatsoever for anyone that failed to Evacuate NOLA at 24 to 48 hours prior to Katrina.

In other words people should not depend on their President, Governor, Mayor or Dog Catcher to tell them when to evacuate their homes.

Neither you nor Laura Hollis has a clue about Saturday's election. I am a conservative and I worked for Nagin and went to his victory celebration last night.

He won because grass roots white conservatives put him over the top. We did it because he believes in transparent government. We put philosophy ahead of prejudice. Unlike in a Landrieu/Morial criminal enterprise, conservatives will have a seat at Nagin's table. Further the aid money will go to the people who need it and won't be divied up the Louisiana political machine.

Before you look to confirm your biases by reading nonsense, try learning the facts.

same in DC, same in Detroit.... gee I guess the Democratic plantation system just keeps rolling along.

What's funny is that the obvious question is..... Is there ANYBODY else that could possibly be a mayor of New Orleans?

Of all the political hacks, thieves, blackmailers, shysters, and imbeciles.... not one other person could be found to "lead" the people of New Orleans....BEAUTIFUL.

The African-American community specifically and the community of New Orleans in general should be proud. How pathetic do they want to appear?

The city will flood again this year, the irony, Karma and joo-joo are just to intense to let New Orleans miss another flood. I'm predicting the levees will break again and we'll have the same Road Runner and Wyle E Coyote routine again...

Here is an amazing note from Bill Murray at a Birmingham weather blog from August 27, 2005, which is two days before the storm came ashore. Murray was a lot smarter than Nagin. Read this and ponder just what a tragic mistake Nagin made by elevating lawyers over safety:

Is Nagin Waiting Too Late?

I am thoroughly amazed at an interview that I just heard with New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin on WWL radio. He said that he was considering a mandatory evacuation of the city. Considering? With the official National Hurricane Ceneter track showing a Category Four hurricane, perhaps even a Category FIVE hurricane moving directly over a city that takes 72 hours to evacuate? He said that the city’s attorneys were in consultation about the legalities of such an order. Legalities? Wouldn’t that be something you would contemplate in advance? Not 48 hours before landfall. What would be the criteria that would make such an action automatic?

Mayor Nagin said that the Governor had recommended that he talk to Max Mayfield at the National Hurricane Center. Hello! I would have had a hotline installed directly to Max’s cell phone. The Mayor said that Max Mayfield told him this was the storm that everyone has feared for New Orleans for many, many years. Max said that he had been in the business for 31 years and that this was the real deal. Still tonight, traffic on evacuation routes in Southeast Lousiana was amazingly light. Will tomorrow morning’s evacuation order come too late?

All I have heard from local emergency managers in Southeast Louisiana is the looming disaster that is New Orleans and a powerful hurricane. I have had heard that emergency managers say they will need thousands of body bags when a major hurricane pushes a 20-25 foot storm surge into Lake Ponchartrain and over the city’s levee system. Hopefully that will not come true.

I have another fear. That people on the Mississippi and Alabama coasts will take Katrina lightly because of all the media coverage and focus on New Orleans. A storm surge of 15-20 feet or higher will occur in that vulnerable area of the Mississippi coast around Waveland, Pass Christian and Bay St. Louis. Those names sound familiar? They were made famous by Hurricane Camille’s 27 foot storm surge in 1969.

The Left has ALWAYS celebrated and rewarded losers....
The Left thrives and exists, primarily on the backs of losers.
