Thank you for the clarification. I am so used to seeing the circle the wagons mentality on this forum that I automatically assumed and for that I was incorrect. Howver the circle the wagons mentality that exists doesn't allow for intelligent discussion and solutions. The liberal solutions aren't where the solutions lie, but to ignore the problems because it's perceived as slamming my party is just as wrong as the wild eyed accusations from the left.
Criticism should at this point be constructive. After the initial crisis is over, then a debriefing should be done, top to bottom and shortfalls identified and corrected. Certainly this is something we could have never envisioned, yet it seems our response to the tidal wave earlier this year was faster, despite the logistics, yet in this country, while there has been many good efforts, it has fallen far short, especially at the federal level who has or should have the resources to throw at these situations.
Exactly, Joe.
You get through the crisis, you review what went wrong and then work to correct the errors. Thats the only way to learn from the crisis. It is sometimes difficult to remember what you are supposed to do when someone is yelling in your ear.
