Second, the US Government and FEMA and every other
resource should have been helping Texas already.
Every one. And every FReeper agrees.
Third, the "help" a Governor can give is serious
but hardly limited to the few hours of the debate.
Where was the Gov. before?
And fourth, how far is this?
BS you weren’t being sarcastic as that post is your usual idiotic blather.
WTF does the size of Alaska have to do with this topic? There is only 710,000 people who live there. The area of the fires has way more people in the direct vicinity than the entire state of Alaska. Two have already died. So either add something useful to the discussion or STFU!
Please do not take my comment as personal in nature. I was just commenting that when someone does the right thing... even if for questionable reasons... it is the right thing. His record and his words will not be exempt from this coming debate. He may end up wishing he had attended.

What does the size of Alaska have to do with anything? Alaska is huge and mostly uninhabited. So what?
1st. Hard to tell lately when somebody is serious or just PDSing, sorry.
2nd. FEMA did not help much with the huge fires in Texas this spring, why would anybody expect that they will help now? They did send a USAF plane to fight fires in Mexico while Texas burned at this spring.
3rd. The fires started yesterday and he is getting there fairly quickly. Bastrop is close to our capitol, Austin. I think it will be good for him to be there.
4th. Nice Map. While the land area is huge, the population of Alaska is very small. Alaska has roughly the same population as Austin, TX, for reference Austin would be a smallish dot in the center of Texas on your map.
Dio, you are what you post. And your posting history of constant idiotic regurgitation can never be plausibly excused as "sarcasm".
Just forget Diogenesis, he is on drugs, drunk or just feeble minded. At least he knows how to post maps and some pictures. Good for him.
Still makes me angry but you can’t argue with a fool and you shouldn’t let him upset you.
Listening to the scanner in Travis County... still bad, crews are fighting a very hard battle. East Texas is bad as well but getting less coverage. If this persists, and the weather forecast says it will, areas like the woods of N. Houston will be a disaster.
Do you remember the BS “W”,and the Mayor of New Orleans and the Gov. of La. faced after Katrina...like it or not Governors are held accountable for how they act in these situations. I can just hear the MSM harping on Texas burning and Rick Perry is too interested in politics to care.
Too all Perry-haters spamming this thread:
WOULD YOU PLEASE JUST GO AWAY!
Take your hate to another thread.
This one is not the place. There are many people here who actually care about people whose lives are at risk. Many who have been up all night, like me, crying, worrying about friends and loved ones in the path of this monster fire, still trying to find out what is going on in certain areas - and we are just not in the mood for your despicable antics here.
Please, if you cannot put aside you pathological hatred of Perry long enough to support fellow Americans who are in great danger, if you cannot for just a moment overcome your hatred to offer a prayer or a word of comfort to those who are suffering, then please just go away.
