I wasn't really moved by it. He looked like a corn-pone phony crying crocodile tears -- a dime store phony. I feel sorry for the deceased and their families but not for people exploiting them.
I have seen his kind too many times, and in particular, with his accent (aka the "huckster drawl of mock trustworthiness.")
That's DAILY and we got over 1 million in metro area.
Deaths/Mortality
(Data are for U.S. in 2002)
Number of deaths: 2,443,387
Death rate: 845.3 deaths per 100,000 population
8453 per million / 365 days = 23+ daily
(From here --> http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/deaths.htm )
I am telling you, I am glad I live in this little bitty rural community in Virginia!!!
Yep. Just as I said, those people who allowed those nursing home patients should be convicted of criminal negligence or involuntary manslaughter. It was beyond belief!!!
wonder how many shootings,rapes, robberies and gang violence happen on an average day(before Katrina) in the Big Easy?
Not only is it possible-I heard Maxine Waters say that's why they didn't leave....pension and welfare checks come at the first of the month. I heard it with my own ears and posted it somewhere on FR.
How's abouT, DEMOCRATS LIED! PEOPLE DIED!!
Seems it is just easiesr to go with the flow. . .i.e. 'blame Bush'.
No doubt this lie will make it, along witih all the others, into the Demrat recasting of tragedies post Katrina. . .
Indeed!!!
I ust MOVED from the Big City to get away from those thieves who can steal more with a pen than they EVER could with a gun, and they found me out in the countryside, 30 miles from downtown.
The convinced 7 county commissioners to steal MORE of my money and give half of it to them!
(Colts getting a new, taxpayer (NOT football fan) paid for stadium!)
The truth now will appear a 'piling on'. . .and so more easily ignored. . .
Elsie, you need to move down here. We don't have any football stadiums around here, except for the local colleges, and they pay for them with contributions. Our taxes are low. We have lots of middle class folks from the northeast who move down here and buy mansions for what they got for their small homes up north! However, that does drive up our property values. It is a mixed bag. Oh, well.
"No doubt this lie will make it, along witih all the others, into the Demrat recasting of tragedies post Katrina. . ."
I'm afraid you're right, Cricket. I just did a Google search on "Aaron Broussard"...there are many links to his MTP performance, and most describe it as "the most moving moment......blah,blah,blah". No one, so far, is calling him on his LIES!
. . .it is so painful and unneccesary and contrary to any political wisdom that the Repubs do not fight the Lib lies. . .
when these Libs shout from their lies from the housetops; we must go louder - and higher.
Come over to the Ms death count thread
and talk to us.
LOL!
The fact that he was already under indictment for bribery etc. probably had nothing to do with it
I wonder if Broussard will be called to testify at the trial, seeing as how he's placed himself as a material witness in the case, having received all of these phone calls.
Could be interesting...
I have thought a lot about the elderly in nursing homes after this. I would get there myself ahead of time and get my own out before I'd trust someone else to do it. Why you trust others to take care of your own in a crisis is beyond me.
