MUST SEE: Blanco refused to allow Red Cross and FEMA to bring food and water to Stadium!!!
FOX News (Click here for MUST SEE Video) ^ | Brit Hume and Major Garrett

Posted on 09/07/2005 3:35:54 PM PDT by NickatNite2003

Just heard on FOX that Blanco refused to allow supplies to be brought to the stadium, "Because they wanted all those people to leave, and they didn't want to create a magnet to bring others there, by bringing in food and water!"""

I misunderstood your post.

He talks fast, says too much. And if you think he screwed up so bad, well that is too bad. He is alot better and more honest and decent than what we have now.

..."Be fair...the Mayor did tell the people to bring their own food and water. ...for three days!"...
--Hurricanes pass through in a day. This lends one to believe that Nagin was aware that the Levees would likely break and of FEMA guidelines of needing 48-72 hours after a storm to expect direct assistance.

Maybe the wicked witch wants to see how many she can starve and dehydrate to death. She certainly drown enough.

"i would expect this kind of mean behavior from a Republican"

What? Hey, wait a minute. Republicans would give food, water, and medical attention to persons in need. We are not Nazis, contrary to leftist fantasies.

Last night on O'Reilly (I know, I know), the woman who is in charge of the Red Cross said that they were turned back by the Louisiana Homeland Security. The way she said it though, I don't know how many people caught it. She said something like, "We were turned back by the homeland security department... the state's homeland security. As she said that last part, of course Bill started talking before she was finished and didn't elaborate on it.

I wish that every time some of these shrill bozos such as John Gibson of FNC starts ranting about Brown should be fired that someone would be there to explain to them why those poor souls didn't get water, food and medicine sooner.

There is a few shrills here at FR that been just as bad as FNC anchors.

Guy and his son drove down from DC and gave a van they had around - an RV -to the first homeless family they found. Her home was demolished. He handed the keys and the title to her. It was great.

One more thing...... The Rat female politicos are out in full hue and cry.

If she-that-shall-not-be-named runs for President (a curse be upon her pants) CONSERVATIVE WOMEN who are going to have to face & fight her because they are going to use that "man picking on a woman" to it's full potential in debates & in any sort of confrontation.

Don't know how we will do it, but it's going to have to be done. Those 'rat female politicos are manly-girls.

"Nah, I don't think people should die for the stupidity of their elected officials." The people are "stuck on stupid". The elected officials are mired in incompetance and manslaughter. I would bring them up on charges. The people there are reaping what they sowed. I have no more patience for idiot dems, no matter what color. I have had it, I tell you, had it!

Someone from the Red Cross also said this on Larry King on September 2 - the transcript was just posted on a thread but the thread was pulled.

Seriously,
No joke,
The more I observe her and hear her talk,
the more I believe she is mentally unbalanced.

Someone needs to shoot her with a tranq gun and carry her out of the building.

Was that the Presidential visit where the Governor's PR flack said they didn't even know the President was coming? They can lie with the best of them. Must have learned it from Bubba.

I am the lone voice in the wilderness for Nagin. I don't know him but have watched him. And he is good. But in Louisiana, when you cross the dem machine, you have to watch your back forever.

I would not have agreed with you earlier, but as more and more bits and pieces of the puzzle have come to light I have pretty much come to the same conclusion. Don't know if I would classify Nagin as "good", but I now believe he was caught in a trap.

Jindal is careful not to antagonize people here.

I posted this take on that subject earlier: I have spent a lot of time in Louisiana. What we are seeing in Jindal's action is him "closing ranks" with the people of Louisiana against outsiders, i.e. all the rest of us who are pointing out that they were woefully unprepared for this disaster.

This transcends political parties, and is a consequence of what pop psychologists call projection of the collective guilt they are feeling. Regardless of what they say, they know that the state of Louisiana, collectively, screwed-up big-time, but their pride will never allow them to admit it in the face of criticism from outsiders. A corollary of this is that any Louisiana politician who breaks ranks and "betrays" his state by agreeing with those outsiders is dead meat in Louisiana politics.

Jindal knows this, and knows that if he doesn't go along his political aspirations in LA are over.
