hey lance, re: your sig Options

It's well understood that New Orleans was denied Federal dollars that would have been spent fixing the levee system. Regardless if the Federal government or the State government was supposed to fix the levee system the Federal government still failed on the relief effort and rebuilding.

Putting a "Dear" in your post and trying to make it letter format doesn't make it magically right, it only makes you look stupid. Try persuading people with facts next time instead of trying to make your post look cool.

Would've, could've, should've....

It's quite obvious that whatever money was there to rebuild the levee system wasn't spent on the levees. If it was state funding, tax money, whatever. They didn't fix it...and they paid the price. There will always be finger pointing in a mess like this and I think people are wrong to point their fingers at Bush.

I don't like him any more than you do but in this situation it wasn't his fault.

Forget about New Orleans for a minute.

Do you think Bush should be impeached for his crimes against this country (minus New Orleans)?

[James]

He hasn't committed a crime.

why is french stewart (possibly billy bob thornton) in that poster?

[impala454]

it doesn't matter. lance will blame bush for any and all problems in existence. it'll be interesting to see what happens when we have a new pres in office.

it's funny how the idiots that blame bush for everything always have the response to questions about the war:
q: "what would you do with the situation in Iraq?"
a: "we never should have gone there"

I don't like him because he has no tact. I can't really say if he's committing crimes or not. The Patriot Act passed in Congress which means a lot of people in Congress supported it. I don't like being spied on but I really don't have anything to worry about. The worst they're going to hear on the phone is my mom bitching about the neighbor's dog.

About the "war"? I don't like what it has become. I liked the idea initially because Saddam would be removed from power. What pisses me off now is that it seems like we expected a culture that's riddled with violence and sectarianism to magically create a democratic government. Their way of life is completely different from ours and there's no way they're going to adapt. They are so used to being dominated by violence that I don't think they can ever live in peace again. I will agree that Bush has handled that situation pretty poorly and I'd like to see us out of there in the near future.

9/11 had nothing to do with Bush and I refuse to believe any of the conspiracy crap surrounding it. I don't think creating a new government bureaucracy was the right response. If we had already been cautious about foreigners entering our country we probably wouldn't be in the situation we are now. Immigration is nice and all. Yeah we're a country of freedom and equality. BLAH BLAH BLAH. I think our population is rich enough that we don't need anymore "citizens". We've become the world's fucking playground and I'm really tired of it. I want a president who's serious about America and its people. A pipe dream I'm sure.

He's just been an all around fuck up. He's mainly worried about securing American interests overseas instead of the issues at home. The next president better deal with oil prices or we're going to be in real trouble.

The President has no business interfering with oil prices.

The president needs to start a Manhattan project for alternative energy that is renewable and something that we can make on our own.

We already have that - nuclear power. No one wants to take the risks associated with it though.

And if that doesn't work for you, there's always http://www1.eere.energy.gov/financing/

it's funny that the treehuggers were so opposed to nuclear power back in the day, now it's basically the best, cleanest way to go.

[Testm0nkey]

seriously... impala you are killing me

bush is supporting nuclear power. many plants are being reopened, money directed in that direction, and plans to make more nuclear plants in the near future. that is 1 good thing hes done. us "treehuggers" know a lot more about nuclear power now. we also are in a horrible situation with foreign oil, it makes perfect sense to switch to nuclear

New Orleans made millions of shittons of money off tourism. so this the "city isnt worth rebuilding" crap is laughable and completely arrogant and inhumane

[impala454]

seriously... impala you are killing me

how am i killing you? i don't get it. all i said was it was funny how the treehuggers were so anti nuclear power back in the day and now it's the one of the cleanest sources of power we have. i didn't say anything else... just thought it was ironic. oh well i guess it's expected for them to be 20 years behind . it'll be funny when I'm an old man and my kids are complaining about the new ice age and how we need more CO2 in the air. I'll just say "yeap, back in my day them treehuggers kept goin on and on about global warming".

New Orleans made millions of shittons of money off tourism. so this the "city isnt worth rebuilding" crap is laughable and completely arrogant and inhumane

millions of shittons? for who? new orleans was one of the poorest ones around. how is it arrogant and inhumane to say a city isn't worth rebuilding? it doesn't make economical sense to invest federal tax dollars in rebuilding new orleans. how it is inhumane to not want to build a city so people can go back and live in it and get washed away again? of course the city will eventually get back on its feet. NBC news had a special on the other night saying it's going well and people are moving there, and there's been an 18% increase in the population etc etc. but it won't change the fact that the damn place is 50 ft below sea level and just waiting to go back in the drink the next time a big hurricane comes by.

if oil companies won't do it...then who will?

[impala454]

if oil companies won't do it...then who will?

so what can the president do to lower your gas bill? press the magic "lower the gas price" button?

you whined about the president getting into international problems in the largest oil producing area on the planet, and then complained about oil problems, which do you want? you can't have both.

democrats = professional complainers
