They are trying to find ways to locate those people who fled New Orleans and get them home. At the very least, they will demand their absentee votes.
I despise these people. And I sincerely hope that those people who fledNew Orleans find new and better lives somewhere else!
Many of my St. Bernard relatives are putting the responsibility directly on the shoulders of Blanco and Nagin. This new creation of hers is a way to snap up funds for LA before damage assessments are made, including to the other states.
They won't be prepared for the backlash and resentment they are causing all around this country.
Nagin up, popcorn on.
The over-riding concern of Louisiana politicians is losing voters. In a Wall Street Journal column yesterday, Governor Huckabee is quoted as saying half the people who evacuated there will stay, and I bet that's typical. I know evacuees here in the Atlanta area have been on tv saying they don't want to go back.
Louisiana politicians know they are going to lose House seats because of the decline in population. Besides that, their New Orleans herd of sheep just might wake up and say NO MORE DEMOCRATS!
Mayor Nagin is on now...He looks almost smug, doesn't he, like he read that New York Times piece, praising him.
