Oh please! 3 days without power is a severe hardship?
These folks didn't have 3 days worth of food and water in their homes after a week of prep time?
I give up! Our Nation is now populated, nearly exclusively, by limp-wristed pansies that couldn't care for themselves if their lives depended on it.
Let Hillary win so the revolution can begin, already.
As if those folks down in S.FL actually listen to anyone.
FEMA should be put out to pasture and relief efforts should be coordinated by Wal-Mart.
Hours after the aftermath of Katrina, Wal-Mart was already on the scene with generators and supplies, while FEMA officials were giving rescue workers lessons in sexual harrassment and other PC bullfeces.
Frankly, I really had to bite my tongue when a poster on the live Wilma thread who said he had stocked up, but went to the food handout lines just to keep his kids occupied. It makes me wonder how many others went just to get free stuff they didn't need.
Where did all the Native Floridians go? That's right where I grew up and we never depended on any government aid after a hurricane. We had gas, candles, food, and whatever we need to sustain us for over a week. We knew there would be no electricity and somehow, survived without FEMA or any other relief from the state.
Everyone there was given a weeks notice that Wilma was coming and instructed to store up on items they are crying for now. Most of the older homes had gas for cooking and that doesn't go out during a power outage, will will last most of a week, if not longer.
Sorry, but with minimal planning and preparation, Broward County could have come through this with no trouble. Of course, they couldn't bash Bush had they taken care of themselves.
Paradise comes with a price. If you can't handle that, move back to New York.
I've got a picture of any Dem presidents or governors, past or present, accepting blame for ANYTHING, ever.
This continual self-flagellation doesn't help The Cause, and really ticks me off.

Good grief! Many of us in the FL panhandle had to wait up to 4 weeks for power after Ivan last year....and libnuts are criticising barely 3 days post-Wilma? Give it a rest...it's not HUMANLY POSSIBLE to put every single person in Florida into a mansion loaded with baubles and cars!
Jeb needs to just do what he's always done...provide leadership and NOT CATER TO THESE SORRY WHINEY LIBNUTS who can't get off their butts. Everyone in the USA knew Wilma was heading to FL for a full week ahead of time.
Geesh!
These jurks koodant even figger owt how two voat in de las elekchun. LOL
What a crock! Those folks had days to prepare for Wilma -- to fill the bathtubs with water, to freeze jugs of water for ice, to fill the cars and cans with gasoline, to buy batteries and candles, and to stock up on food and medicine. If people knew Uncle Sugar would NOT ride to the rescue, they would be much better prepared.
Are they demanding the $2000 ATM cards yet?
Methinks that all these disasters reveal the incredible number of illegal aliens living in the country. You can't plan adequately for people whom you don't know are living in your area. Then they all show up for the supplies they were told to provide for themselves before the storm. I'm waiting for the first brave politician to call ICE and start checking immigration status at these relief centers. It will be a LONG wait...
