Why do the republicans all of sudden want FEMA and all other issues within this administration cleaned up?

FEMA needs to be returned to being an Agency directly under the President. Away from Dept. Homeland Security. (At least the portion of FEMA that does disaster response and recovery.) Adding another entity between FEMA's ability to respond and the president has only created more red-tape. \n\nDHS is mostly concerned w/ terrorism (which is important) - but their focus has forced FEMA to not be able to focus on their mission of helping disaster victims.

I am not sure of Mr. Bush's thoughts on the subject but most republicans deny it is happining. They say it is just a cycle and that it will take care of itself. Some left wingers think the is to satisfy special interest because of the republicans lack of invironment laws to address it. In all actuallity I think that if we don't do something soon to turn the tide we are going to poison the world to the point that there will be no turning around.

Because there will be investigations into the Bush Admin and Rumsfeld is trying to "Dodge the Bullet". All those scandals are about to come out and he's running scared!!

Hathaway, I am disappointed.  When was dissent un American? \nIf this administration was more ethical, do you think there would be this great a degree of resentment?  I am guessing if the Republicans were ethical, they probably would not have been " elected " . \n\nI think what you are confusing here is how I and some others like me support the Constitution and the Republic.  We just don't associate these things with the Bush administration. \n\nThis administration has more in common with Julius Caeser's power grab than being our elected representatives.\nThis is what comes of a culture that values winning above all else - or thinks that the ends justify the means. \n\nBesides, the Taliban take too long to get back to you after you send in a resume and cover letter.  I never liked the benefits or the commute and Al Quada is mostly about outsourcing and defending weak products.

Yes.  And you know these rubber stamp republicans won't quit until they are checked.  Time to undo some of the more egregious parts of the Chimp Administration's recent laws and re instate Congressional oversight.  Oh, I know, its only the INDICTED republicans that are causing all the problems.  I doubt if the habeas corpus provisions of the MCA will survive a USSC review anyway.

Because the Republicans need as many excuses as possible to try to turn the numbers game back into their direction.  The public is catching on to the debauchery and the news is taking it and running.  Maybe it is a good thing..I don't think the American people believe anything any of them have to say. I know I lost any belief I had in the administration.  Total Buffoons.

Because New Orleans is an issue Republicans can not spin enough to make themselves look better than the Dem's. They can with immigration, that's what all the fuss is about. The elections are coming up.. Neither problem will really be fixed..

Unfortunately, it is the best they can come with.  Kind of pathetic actually.\n\nThey can't run on actual policy or philosophy - 'cause if they do, they'll go down in flames.\n\nSo - instead - they use a botched (admittedly totally unfunny) joke - KNOWING what he meant to say.......and from a politician who's NOT EVEN UP FOR RE-ELECTION!!!!\n\nThe GOP's goal is to divert everyone's attention away from what's REALLY important and REAL issues.\n\nSo - yes - this actually IS the best they can come up with.

Starting a fake war for oil fields, and pipelines to allow people to die. If you ignore them like George Bush did New Orleans then it can't be your fault. The Republican swan song is "Starve em they will work harder".

because that is the conservative way........pick an issue that stupid people are passionate about to deflect from the piss-poor job they do with the responsibilities they have

Because it doesn't fit the republican whacko agenda,that's why.

Bush Administration is totally confused after losing the election to Democrats. Confusion sometimes is contagious. I guess it has transmitted to the employees from the government. People need to elect a better administration.

because they're scared.  Their own party has tried to scare the pants out of people to get votes and they succeeded...for a while anway.  Until about a couple weeks ago when dems took control of the house and senate.  Next, the presidency!!  I'm conservative but I am also a dem.  In fact there are a lot of people like me who don't necessarily agree with republicans but aren't godless liberals like republicans say we are.

It is all a ploy, the repuglicans in Washington feel that they are in trouble. So they have ask Bush to change a few things. This is suppose to change things so that the repuglicans won't lose so many seats in November. Don't fall for it. It is still going to be the same ol' Bush.

Anything that they do will definitely be an improvement. I have never seen Republicans make a bigger mess than they have under the leadership of Bush.

It's so they can doctor them up. They are spying on the Democrat party, and he is the puppet. The whole thing is a no-brainer. The Republicans did everything they could to take New Orleans away from the Democrats. Now it's this method, and you will see more crime and corruption to come.

It's all rederick and useful propoganda to use against one another during election time (especially) but it's all screwed up right now because the Republicans are getting most of the heat because of the War, and all the problems that have arisen from that alone are huge, and a big deal to the overall majority of Americans so it's great ammo to use if your a democrat and a politician trying to run a successful campaign to Win a seat in office....dont you think? (even though we know it's all the same BS from both sides ) If your a Republican your going to use the fact that Liberals support immigration and some sort of work program as a sign of being whimpy and not protecting our borders ....its all BS. What have the Republicans done to protect our border? what have either party done thus far?? Nothing in my mind. I think it is up to the American people to stand up and say " Enough Already!" Demand real answers, a real plan, real priorities they have set aside, when it becomes a blame glame match it is up to us to be the mediator and to stop it. We really need to overall demand more from the people we elect in office so these kinds of blame games dont happen as much or as often, and they stick to the issue or topic at hand! Period!
