A month ago they were all squealling that the Feds were NOT doing enough, so when Bush suggest a solution they are all squealing cause now he is DOING TOO MUCH?

I'm not going to let fingerpointing distract from the issue at hand. A lot of people dropped the ball. So there is pressure to "Do Something".

So instead of reforming FEMA or making sure the National Guard is available for its core mission, the proposed "solution" is to remove one of the defining characteristics of a free country.

Well I'm here to SCREAM HELL NO!!!

This idea SUCKS. AND I DON'T CARE WHO THOUGHT IT UP

This is not a good idea. State and local governments have been running effective disaster recovery operations (with help from FEMA) for years and just because a couple halfwits in Louisiana can't do their job the federal government needs to?

I am starting to forget what the Republican party stands for. It use to be something along the lines of decrease spending, less government, a strict interpretation of the Constitution, lower taxes and many other things. Did I miss a memo or something, what the hell is going on?
