Although this woman (Kathleen Blanco) is braindead, she is not to blame for the current state that the citizens of Louisioana find themselves in. Those good folks have only to look in the mirrror to see the guilty party. They elected her, now they must live with her. And...if the good folks of LA think anyone is going to pour billions of dollars into NOLA with this idiot woman and the other Democrat Scum in power, you are all nuts. Now, if the voters of LA rise up and throw these incompetents in the gargage can today, they will see a "sea change" in the rebuild of LA and NOLA. Otherwise, LA is going nowhere!!!
The money they do get will probably come painfully slow because Congress knows they'll have to audit every penny to make sure half of it doesn't get funneled places it shouldn't go.
Well said!
In most popular elections, fewer than half of the people elect, leading to a government not supported by more than half of the people. You are painting Louisiana with a broad brush. Surely you must recognize that not all of Louisiana is culpable for the election of Blanco. There is undeniable corruption in the state, and there has been historically, but not everyone is in a position to participate in corruption.
I wonder how many people on this site voted for Jimmie Carter? Not many would be a good guess.
