Broussard is the guy who blubbered like a little girl on national television. If this clown is re-elected Louisianna should be kicked out of the Union and given back to France.
Broussard in a lying, blubbering FOOL........... who needs a shave!
You're right. I live in this pathetic banana republic though not for much longer.
The circle's just about closed here on what amounts to a political oligarchy. Moon Landrieu's daughter is the senior US senator, Moon Landrieu's son is the Lt. Governor(and will soon be Governor) and Moon Landrieu's hand picked crony Sheriff of Orleans parish, Charles Foti, is now the state Attorney General controlling what does and what does not get investigated. Each one of these corrupt politicians' elections was guaranteed by a 80%+ vote out of Orleans Parish and a 90%+ vote out of the Ninth Ward.
Many will say, yes, but the politics have changed with many of the 9th ward residents not returning. Not true in my opinion. There will be an effort, successful probably, to allow all former NOLA residents to vote in the next local and statewide elections from wherever they are. The fix is in folkes, unfortunately. Oh, and there's this. A move is afoot in the state legislature to extend, using Katrina as an excuse, all of the elected state officials' terms by one year from 2007 to 2008.
I can't stand it any longer. I'm done. I refuse to pay taxes any longer in a state that is beyond political redemption. Many of us in other parts of the state have fought the good fight for an end to corruption and politics as usual--me for 20 years. That fight's not worth fighting anymore. When the corrupt/inept politicians have 150,000-200,000 votes ready to be bought or bribed in one location(New Orleans)reform minded politicians like Bobby Jindal and others don't have a snowball's chance.
So, I'm outa here. It'll take me a little while to get my house sold and myself situated somewhere else but by January 2006 I intend to refer to myself happily as a former Louisiana resident.
To those of you lucky souls who don't live here. Please, please stay on your congressman and senators to insist that any federal funds sent here get the UTMOST and tightest scutiny possible. Because if they don't the money will end up lining the pockets of the scumbags in this state who've run it into the ground over the last 100 years.
