epidemic, endemic, and entrenched


Just deserved repeating.

Oh boy.

Bravo!

Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO) wrote a letter to Speaker Hastert, urging him to direct federal hurricane relief aid through channels other than Louisiana public officials. Citing incompetence and a history of corruption, Tancredo said a bipartisan select committee of the House should administer the aid and provide accountability for the $52 billion requested.

Now that's the kind of pre-emptive move I like. hehehehe

[Deetes]

corruption in Louisiana convinces me that that they should not. BUMP

[Arizona Carolyn]

I just sent him an email thanking him for his courage and honesty and asked him to fight hard to keep taxpayers money out of the hands of Blanco and Landrieu.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Tancredo rocks! This is the best news I've heard since this disaster hit.

Hey NN, thought you might like to check this out : )

AMEN!

No better than the damn liberals. "Slow response" Mr. Tancredo? The folks in Louisiana and New Orleans specifically didn't vote for all the pork in the transportation and energy bills. You did. They may be thieves, but I don't trust congress any further.

I was hoping for more than a one-trick pony. Deeply disappointed.

As for a real suggestion - put Donald Trump in charge of the rebuilding. I trust him with my tax dollars more than anyone in Congress right now.

Send him an email and let Tom know how you feel. I did and it felt good.

Hear! Hear! This is the sanest approach to take when dealing with a bunch of veteran crooks who would love to get their claws into billions of our tax dollars. They have never used federal funds for the designated purposes, why in the world would we trust them to do it now?

[toddlintown]

I love this guy. He says what others would only think.

[CajunConservative]

I agree 100% with this. I am so tired of the crooks here. This could be a great state if it was ran right.

" Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagin seem to have done little beyond encouraging residents to leave the city or gather at the Superdome. City school and transit buses could have carried 12,000 persons per run out of the city, yet they sat idle in parking lots under water - while both the Mayor and Governor criticized the federal response"

Tancredo nails it.

[Kitten1]

I sent Tancredo an email of support for stand on hurricane funding.

I hope his battle with Landrieu is on pay-per-view. She ain't gonna like this.

[benjaminjjones]

convicted of crimes; the list includes

Wow, LA has as many criminal politicians as MA.

It's just the ones in LA seem to be higher ranking.

[kinghorse]

RIGHT ON.

[SE Mom]

I agree with him- it's a first for me.

[infocats]

GREAT POST and thanks. I agree with Tancredo on this one!

[gathersnomoss]

Thatba notba beba fairba.

If it was white folk I would say...pardon me but can you pass the spicey mustard.

Just give the liberals the money...they deserve it for doing such a fine job.
