doctorj2u,

So it was the Republican’s fault that Katrina destroyed your world? No blame for Mayor Nagin, or Huey Long, or Senator Landrieu, or the thugs, but just that evil George Bush and his party?

Please explain to me then why Houston, or Iowa, Mississippi, or Missouri under the same Republican Administration, seemed to fare much better without near as much federal assistance, with far more widespread damage affecting far more people, still managing without riots and shootouts, than say New Orleans did?

Did you ever think maybe they had a higher caliber of people that don’t depend on their federal government for their goodwill? Nah, that couldn’t be it.

But if that is what it takes to gather the young vote (never mind my 19yr old Republican voting daughter is still venturing there to help build houses), to create a dependency, then I say I’ll go the Bull Moose route. But as I recall, the Progressive Democratic party of the early 20th century also went to the dust heap of history.
