Unbelieveable isn't it.  We need a government that runs this show like a successful business, not a bully-the-world-for-it's-oil program.

All l can say is you got what you voted for..or did you??  It is interesting to see how Americans can justify spending billions on the war effort I am sure that the victims of Katrina might hold a different opinion..As for being a moron l am not in a position to say either way. however...If he looks like a Duck..and it walks like a Duck..and it talks like a Duck well l guess the chances of probability are ????? It Is A Duck then

Yes, and i still bring up this argument when talking politics with an avid Reagan/bush/bush fan. It is hard not to forget that Reagan plunged the national debt to levels previously unheard. But let us not forget that the economy took a horrible hit as well, with FIFTY percent of farmers(just mentioning one of the hard it economic groups) nation wide going bankrupt thanks to his trickle down economics. Lets us learn from one of the worst presidents ever and try not to vote another one in...uh...wait..damn, to late.

Everyone with an IQ over single digits tends to hate Bush. I, for one, love my country and support the troops over there fighting right now; but I want them to come home.Now. Bush should have kept the war in Afghanistan and only in Afghanistan. That was our original target, right? Well now you don't even hear about Afghanistan anymore; everything's Iraq,Iraq, Iraq! Now it's shifting to Iran. What happened to Afghanistan? More importantly: What happened to Bin Laden!? Bush has his priorities all screwed up. But then again, I doubt if he ever cared about Bin Laden in the first place.

To be truly ignorant they must not know these things . . . by not reading the news or attending to televised news or radio or sharing knowledge of these events with anyone . . . so I need to question the question.  Is it not a matter that the conservatives "refuse to acknowledge" the disasters rather than ignore them?  Or perhaps we are making to a fine a point of what the hell the idiots are blundering into.   One thing I know for sure is that we can't maintain or add to our infrastructure in this country now that the major industries of material processing are gone (no steel, brick, concrete, plastic, oil etc.).  And now that we've pissed off the rest of the world, it's just a matter of time before they shut us down. But the haughty arrogant "I just voted my wallet" folks either have no clue (and are ignorant) or they are conspiring to destroy the U.S. of   A. because they are totally mad or seditionists and should be hung.  Criminently!  When was the last time you saw a US flag made in the USA?  They are now made in Taiwan and mainland China - are americans proud of that?  What about those yellow ribbon stickers on their cars, all made in China!  Those yellow ribbons (Gad what a stupid song that was based on them melody completely out of place with the lyric content.  The best place to apply those yellow ribbon stickers are on your gas caps folks, just to remind you "why".  I really do hope the conservatives will come to their senses before they are forced to learn to speak Chinese at gunpoint.

There are alot of questions here so I'll try to answer them all.\n\n"When New Orleans was hit with the hurricane and wiped off the map, in my heart I felt I should give money to help the people. That was just common nature for a U. S. citizen to naturally do for our country or other country's around the world no mater what type of government they have in place." \n\nI feel two ways about this matter.  One is this Country gives to much monney to other Countrys and not enoth to this one.  But at the same time the people in Orleans where asked to leve and did not they had two weeks to pack up and leve but they did not.  What could we have done when so many people picked not to leve?\n\n"What I am concerned with is if the money I gave, got to a PERSON from that specific state or other country I sent the money to?"\n\nQuestion?  Who did you give you're money to?\nJust waching MSNBC and they said that there was alot of "fraud and abuse" that people where doing over there.  (check out url for more info.)  Makes you feel just a tad less sorry for these people.\n\n"Why is it that our government can't take responsibility and pay up, for there mistake in the first place. From what I have read, it was known that those levies could not hold a category 4 or 5 hurricane years or decades ago, but failed to strengthen them back when it was first discovered? \n\nI don't think any mistakes where made.  The truth is that  New Orleans is sinking as it stands now New Orleans is lower then sea level.  The reasons that thoes levies have not been fixed are one the cost is to grate for a city that is sinking and two they don't even know if it's posablem to fix them.  Even if they are fixed and we get another "Katrina" it's posable for this to happen again and again.  "IF" we do fix these levies we are putting peoples lives at risk.\n\n"Do you think it was rude of the two presidents to ask us to give more money when it is our nature to give, even until it hurts?"\n\nDo I think it's rude?  No, I don't.  \n\n"Did you help when 911 happened ?"\nYes, but I feel as if it was not enoth\n\n"or Live Aid?\nor Live8?"\n\nLive Aid, No.  Or Live8 don't know what that is.

I'm sorry, but you are obviously one of the stereotypical Democrats out there.  Democrats tend to hear something and take it as whatever meaning they choose, as long as it makes Republicans sound like they don't know what they're talking about.  "Everything changed on 9/11" because we realized that our country isn't as safe as we all thought it was.  We realized that terrorists can attack us and that it was time that we stopped allowing them to carry out their missions the best we can. This was going to happen no matter what party was in office.  It's been being planned for a very long time.  I watch what Democrats say about Bush and I just can't help but think that in the back of their mind they're all saying, "thank goodness it didn't happen while we were in office."  They know it very well could have, but it seemed like a perfect opportunity to crack on the Republican party.  If a Democrat were in office, all of our soldiers would be home and we'd be the target of horrible attacks.  We'd be giving into terrorists negotiations and the United States would be growing weaker every day.  Thank God that Bush is in office right now because he knows what needs to be done and isn't afraid of doing it.  That's why Democrats don't like him so much.  He knows their tactics won't work right now, and he's not afraid to stand up for what he believes will.  God help us if a Democrat like Hilary Clinton takes office next.

Bush started this game and Bush really don't like losing!\nBecause he is not winning, he keeps putting money in his lost game hoping he will win. I feel sorry for you Americans, because you have to pay the bill?

Clinton was given the opportunity to take custody of Osama bin Laden during his presidency. Yet he felt it wasn't important enough to interrupt a game of golf. By the time he finished his round, the opportunity to take bin Laden into custody had passed. He didn't make a call, didn't do ANYTHING. And more people died as a result of Clinton's mistake than Bush's.\n\nSo, I ask, "What's your point?"\n\nCould we have done more as a nation? Absolutely. But during what disaster have we ever done enough. Don't forget that Governor Kathleen Blanco and Mayor Ray Nagin were all over TV saying the New Orleans and Louisiana didn't need any help ONE DAY AFTER THE HURRICANE. It wasn't until the backside of the hurrican hit and the levees broke on the inland side that they realized they needed more help.

This latest issue with Bush approving the turning over of control of our major ports to an Arab country is more proof that this president is clueless on how to keep America strong and safe.  While I very much approved of his appointments to the Supreme Court, over all I can think of no other president that has single handedly done more to destroy this country.  You want me to list a few topics? The economy, 8 trillion dept & counting, the enviornment & global warming, human rights-torture, our border crisis, the non-response to the Katrina disaster due to appointing one of his cronies as Fema director, creating a war that looks to have no end  while abandoning the legitamate one in Afghanistan, sending our troops, the best & bravest in the world, into battle without enough numbers or equipment and no clear objective... I could go on and on... anybody else?

You know questions and answers like this are always being watched by big brother... But I think that half the world does hate Bush. Why did he bring us into war? What is he and the governement getting out of this? I think this 9/11 attack was all some kind of way to start a war. Could Bush just be using us (U.S.) to fight for him while he stays shacked up somewhere nice earing money? Maybe Bush might not get it from someone in the U.S. but I think it is possible that someone from another country might give it to him...

Not all of the people have been fooled. WE never did believe in Bush from the very beginning. (WE being my husband and myself) I honestly think he saw the trade center and pentagon attacks as a way to launch his master plan for war. First into Afghanistan, and then his real target; Iraq. Yes, we should have done something in return for the attack, but he has pulled most of everything from Afghanistan for his main itinerary of invading Iraq. He knew there were no WMD's there and that they were not giving aid and protecting the terrorist. But he lied, and keeps on lieing. Yes, Iraq is turning into a Vietnam more and more. And we have talked to a lot of people who feel just like we do. We know the first time he got into the white house, is was through lies and crooked means, via his brother and Florida. But the second time, we can't believe that many people voted for him. We suspect those computerized voting machines were rigged. They were pre-programed for him to be the winner before they were ever installed for voting on.

I just want to know whay did it happen the day after the Republicans lost? It is clear Bush new it was coming, and had they done it a little sooner it could have helped the Republican cause.  Dumb.  Not that I like the guy, but at least you know it was done for real reasons, more than political.

We are dealing with very very greedy people here.  The oil companies have been making record profits, while blaming the costs on things that never really affected their business.  They blamed the prices going up after the hurricanes, but the truth is, they were hardly hit!!!  It is sickening to me.  How can they have been hurt when they are making record profits???  It doesn't add up.  They sicken me.  It is disgusting that these compainies are not held accountable.  It is hurting our already poor economy.  It is hitting those of us who are the normal public the hardest.  All the while these business men are stuffing more wads of cash down their pockets, feeding the consumer lies about why they raised the prices.  I'm glad to know that someone else out there feels this is an important issue!!!

I saw this sticker on the back of a pickup truck, "WAR SUCKS, but FREEDOM is worth it!"\n\nSUPPORT OUR SOLDIERS!   (You can't sincerely support our soldiers, if you don't sincerely support their cause.  Think about it.)\n\nDid we already forget about 9/11?  Where would we be if our troops weren't protecting our freedoms.\n\nBlame the military?  Blame the president?  What is so wrong that we need someone to blame?  Blame them for what?

Where is all that "political capital" he claimed to of had? Support from the left? Please, he's burned, actually torched any bridge from that side of the aisle. He better worry about his base. There is nothing conservative about this administration. This guy loves to spend, borrow and spend more (mostly on industries and cronies that have helped his political career along). Just look at the national deficit! Is there no end to this groups madness and incompetence? Does anyone honestly think he has one bit of concern (other than their vote) for the common American citizen? He did say "Some call you the have & have mores... but, I call you may base". He sure wasn't referring to the person that punches a time clock!
