Gonzales must go. I admire Bush for defending his friends but in this case, the man isn't worth the defense. No, I'm not backing down to join ranks with the liberals and Democrats.........I see Gonzales' dismissal as a Conservative move.
I lost faith when he testified to Congress. Here is the Attorney General........"someone" in his office fires seven federal prosecutors and Gonzales was never made aware of it?? Ok.....either that's an out and out lie.........OR.......he is totally incompetent. Either way it proves he is not worthy of this job.
I'm so disappointed with Bush. I had high hopes when he first took office because he was staffing up with alot of Regan's people. How can you go wrong there, huh? Well it's been crash and burn. Where are Regan's people? How come they let this stuff go on?
Being a Conservative is easy........finding someone who supports our beliefs is difficult. Bush was not our pick but when he won the nomination and because he was running against the likes of Gore and Kerry........GEESH what a hard choice. Not to say that I don't like Bush. George is a nice guy, good Christian.......and he really believes in what he's doing.
When the liberals started calling the war a failure and demanding Bush bring the military home.........we stood beside Bush.
1) The war is over. We won "the war." This is a police action and we'll never win at that because it's always going to be political.
2) I felt that leaving before democracy was strongly established would in some way disrespect all our military that gave their lives, the ones that have been injured and all those that gave thier time for this cause. I didn't want to see another Viet Nam. STAY AND GET THE JOB DONE.
I've had many debates with liberal friends, other military friends and strangers about this. None of them could shake me because what I believe......... I BELIEVE. Then one day I'm listening to the News. They are talking about Iraqi's new government leaders planning thier summer vacation.
WTF?
Summer vacation? Let's see.........a couple thousand of our military have lost their lives in support of Iraqi's freedom. As many, if not more, have been injuried...........our guys are dying everyday.........and THEY want to go on vacation? Oh man, it's time to get out. To me, that's an insult to our military. We protect your butts so you can go on vacation? No, bring 'em home. If they can go on vacation then that means they are comfortable with their roles.
Bush and the White House Whitewash team has tried to "explain" this........sorry......too late. Their is no explanation. If our country was in the mist of a civial war I wouldn't expect our President and/or Congress to take a vacation in the middle of it.
Bring 'em back Bush. We need them here more than Iraqi does. We deserve them ALOT more than Iraqi does.
Our next Governor has a Flickr account. How cool is that? LOL He's in my Contact List. If you are reading this Bobby.........God bless you and thanks for all you've done both Pre and Post Katrina. You da man.
Outstanding news today. Gov. Blank-stare is not going to seek a second term. LOL like she had much of a choice anyway. Her own party (Democrats) was pushing her out the door because they know she doesn't stand a chance against Bobby. Now they are courting former Senator John Breaux to run. ROFL......yea ok big boy, bring it on. For one, he doesn't live in Louisiana anymore. He moved to DC when he accepted that lobbist job. Even if he did live here, I wouldn't see him as a threat to Bobby's election.
Running along with the blunders of the Democratic party, the lovely Mayor Ray ( I'm not a racist....no really I'm not) Nagin was quoted to say, " Der are some dat are trying to keep the blacks from coming back (to New Orleans). The FOOL thought he could make a statement like THAT to a REPORTER in DC and it wouldn't get back to Louisiana. LOL True to his nature ...... he says today, " I didn't say that, well I did say it but it was taken out of context." Ok...duh......in just what kind of context would he be able to say it without it being racist???
Then there is the wonderful DA from New Orleans. While he's losing murder cases because he "forgets" to file them promptly........he has informed the Att. General that he doesn't need any additional help in his office. Hmmmm does he think he's a ' bails bondsman'??
Oh and let's not forget the Attorney General.........who had a Doctor and two nurses arrested for MURDER. He stated that during Katrina, these three people injected an overdose of meds to put these patients out of their misery. Good call? Well the autopsy for the "victims" was not done until 18 months later (due to the lab being destroyed). New Orleans Corner (Dr. Minyard) says that he could NOT find anything to back up a homicide. No overdosing of meds...no meds not normally prescribed to them. Opps you say? LOL
Let the good times roll, Liberals. Doing a fantastic job !!!
When the Saints played the Bears (in Chicago) many were told things like "Katrina should have drowned all of you." How cold is that? Others have said that people of Louisiana were stupid to live in a state that hurricanes visit. Now that is the dumbest thing. I don't hear them saying that when they take their families to Disney World every summer. OH......and the summertime is HURRICANE SEASON. Hurricanes hit every state in the Deep South so should we all move out and abandon it? How about the people that live in California? They have earthquakes, forestfires and landslides. Should they move too? How about Midwest? Tornado Alley? Should they be evacuated as well? The Northeast has snowstorms that trap people in their homes. OH and Chicago, land of perfection, every winter we hear about people freezing to death in their homes because they have no heat. I lived in Hawaii for 3 1/2 years. While it is paradise, there are dangerous weather patterns there also. Point is.....no matter where we live, there is a level of danger. As for Katrina.....a little fact that maybe most don't know or forgot.........Katrina did little damage to most of Louisiana. We chart hurricanes to see where they are headed, Katrina turned towards Mississippi, putting Louisiana on the west side of it. The west side of a hurricane is the "dry" side. We knew we would get some winds but the heavy rainfalls would be in Mississippi's Gulf Coast. What happened to New Orleans was NOT because of Katrina but because of the failures of the Corps Of Engineers to establish and maintain a safe levee system. The levees breaking as they did could have happened at any time and would have eventually. Not to say Katrina didn't contribute because of the water swells. Like every state of this Union there are many pros for living there and few cons. We have ours. Our biggest downfall has to do with the politicians that we keep electing. The Good Old Boy gang is still going strong. Also, people look at elections as their chance to join a winning team. Alot of people will vote for who the media says is going to win instead of for who they feel will do a better job. They want to walk away on election day to say, " I voted for the winner too." AND.......you get people like Governor Blank-stare, Mayor Ray (Chocolate) Nagin as well as the imbacile DA Eddie Jordon in New Orleans. Those are just to name a few. Until the people of Louisiana get off their asses and start really doing some background work on the people they vote for, we will always be at the bottom.
Mardi Gras in New Orleans was excellent this year. During the three days we were there we only witnessed one incident and New Orleans Police were right on top of it. The situation was not only handled quickly but in ways we would have never expected. NOPD and the State Police did an excellent job of keeping the peace while at the same time understanding that people were just having fun.
Blanco was on Garland's show (WWLradio) spewing her venom. She was asked several questions by Garland (another 'feelgood liberal') several questions about things she was doing to improve the state and New Orleans recovery.........to which she only gave WORDS.....no meat.
She's blaming Bush and the Federal government for New Orleans not being restored yet. She's accusing Bush and the White House of playing politics. She says that the reason the Feds are moving slow is because she is a Democrat. She also claims that Mississippi's Governor is being given special treatment only because he is Republican. She said that Mississippi was given more money than Louisiana, even though Louisiana recieved far more damage than Mississippi. She threaten all kinds of actions to find out WHY this or that isn't being done yet. IT'S BEEN A YEAR AND A HALF, Kathy !!! Why do it NOW, why wasn't it being done BEFORE Jindal announced his intentions of running for Governor???
This is a flat out lie. The reason Mississippi has progressed faster is not because they got more money, it's because they don't have to make payoffs to get things done. Take the casinos as a case in point. Louisiana voted in to allow one land based casino in the state.......and ofcourse, it had to go to New Orleans. Years later and many arrests after the casino FINALLY opened. Mississippi voted in casinos......and almost over night casinos popped all along the coast. They were making millions while we were convicting politicians for payoffs and bribes.
It is going to be a very interesting race for the governor's race in Louisiana. We (Jindal's camp) will compare what Kathy did (didn't do) and show what Bobby did during the Katrina days. Kathy's camp is now making accusations that Bobby is using Katrina to boost his chances for winning the office. Uh DUH. Bobby didn't ask for a hurricane. What Katrina has done, though, is show that he has leadership powers whereas she was lost in the smoke. While she was on the news almost everyday, crying....... Bobby was on the ground getting money to the people that needed it. Rudy didn't ask for the 911........but it was dealt to him and through it he showed his leadership skills.
Goodbye Kathy. Have the movers ready because the Mansion will not be your home much longer.
Thanks for your support in this Debb. That woman must be very closed minded and people like her scare me.... read more
