***The Sad Display Of Democrats Trying To Blame The Weather On Jeb: And THEY WILL BE BURNED***

It is so amazing that the democrat media, this time PMSnoviewers is trying desperately to try and gain some political benefit from the destruction and death in Florida.....

Could they really be that stupid after the swift boats.....could they really be that tin eared politically that they would try to suggest that nature can be predicted by a governor or a President.....

These sorry assholes are digging themselves into a hole that Kerry and the other democrats are never going to get out of...

Fact, all of us here in Florida were policing our homes no matter what the weather said because WE FLORIDIANS KNOW hurricanes, and that they can go anywhere at anytime.....

Out Of Staters like Kiethy oberman, part time host and TV nazi, don't know dick, so they think they can get on TV tonight and try and make something out of nothing, and friends I guarentee you it is going to bite them in November.

You don't see any of the smart Dems out trying to make something out of this, they know better....we aren't going to be pissed at Jeb, he's doing everything a man can, and God Bless Him.....

Only the slimiest of the low, would be doing what he's trying to use Craig Crawford for, to make a sad and deadly act of nature help the democrats politically....

Amidst all the hype (including stories lamenting the "devastating" loss of bird and turtle sanctuaries), I was surprised to find a balanced look at the situation on the west coast by columnist Ralph de la Cruz in today's So. Florida bird-cage liner:

Big storms are in a category of their own

De la Cruz is also impressed with the speed of the relief effort, compared to Andrew's aftermath.

While you can never minimize the loss of life, most of the casualties appear to be elderly people who didn't evacuate -- many of them in mobile homes. When will someone with half a brain start asking local authorities why there weren't emergency plans to get the elderly and disabled people to shelters? How about their younger neighbors? We've spent many a hurricane watch helping our older neighbors put up shutters and clear their yards, and I know many people who have gladly offered temporary storm shelter to those who live in mobile homes.

It seems that there are a high percentange of such residents in Punta Gorda -- the So. Florida TV stations are now parading confused and devastated 90-year-olds before the cameras.

There have been plans by local authorities to move vulnerable seniors in affect in South Florida for years -- they've been tested, and they work.
