I am a newly converted Republican. I campaigned for Bush, and still think he is a great president, even if I am dissapointed in the seemingly lack of help, or delay of it to NOLA. I have heard for years about the callous, greedy, a-hole republicans and THOUGHT that that was a misconception. After a few days on this board, I am realizing that maybe that isn't such a wrong stereotype.
My father is in a nursing home, he can't drive. I am an only child and a single mother. If I were in the hospital or out of town, my father would be stranded where he is. But you would just make a snide, ugly remark about my father not evacuating, right?
I repeat. Most of the posters of this board is disgusting me these last few days regarding this disaster that is not getting better.
Guess you missed the hundreds of news reports that explained about those "poor unfortunate people". Apparently many of them are "poor, unforunate people" who could not evacuate. No transportation, no money, etc. It was all over the news before Katrina even hit and since then as well. And of course there's the old folks, hospital patients, and newborn babies. Dang it, guess they just didn't get their acts together.
