[Sen Jack S. Fogbound]

I hope this is an accurate fact checking! Still the lefteist politicians are quick to blame Bush!

[Hotdog]

This looks like something I've tried to read from a bathroom stall...they have nothing better to do while they dump from the mouth....

[Texas Eagle]

Blumenthal: With its main levee broken, the evacuated city of New Orleans has become part of the Gulf of Mexico .

If there's any intelligent life on this planet, we'd leave it that way.

[Clintonfatigued]

Don't you get it? EVREYTHING IS BUSH'S FAULT!

[eeriegeno]

That's what is sad about this event, people are blaming GW Bush prior to saving the victims?

[roses of sharon]

The Dem pols can say anything they want, it the mass DNC media that promotes the lies.

They are the enemy. They need to be destroyed.

[satchmodog9]

for later. I'm tired of this crap.

Too bad FactCheck has their facts wrong. A little digging would have told a different story:

In 1998 the Army Corps of Engineers provided a Draft Request to pursue the protection of noted areas in the Gulf region, to enhance their ability to survive heavy hurricane damage. The project was summarily REJECTED BY BILL CLINTON as not important.

[TeddyCon]

Well they can't blame the one who they say they don't believe in, since that would 'kinda' blow a central component of their politics.

Sacts mean nothing to the left. They shout and holler for awhile, call for impeachment, and then when their charade is revealed, they move on to the next "outrage".

[Echo Talon]

:D

[tmp02]

Isn't it the Mayor's fault?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

This looks like something I've tried to read from a bathroom stall.

LOL - "For hot, sexy Bush-bashing call MSM at #555-1111."

[festus]

Not only is Bush to blame for the hurricane, he's also to blame for Big Cindy's hot flashes.

Yah and not only that but if he'd do something about her hot flashes it would help to prevent global warming !!!!

[Merry]

Greta just had a woman in Houston screaming at Bush. These poor people don't even realize that their own state officials let them down. They believe Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton who must enjoy keep them ignorant.

[weegee]

Soros' puppet, Cindy Sheehan, had a tent city that could feed thousands.

Instead they pulled up stakes to go on a roadtrip to continue to bash the President.

YES they could be doing something to help people instead of bashing the President. It is a difference in priorities of what they WANT to do.

[infoguy]

I can't help notice that the factcheck.org people conveniently left out funding data or lack of activity in the Clinton administration.

Did the levees only become a concern on the day that Bush first took office?? Puh-leeze.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I'd be willing to bet that President Bush thought that Willard Clinton had taken care of the levees when he RAISED our taxes.
