I had discussion tonight with several of my so-called Republican voting friends tonight. When I launched into a fact based tirade about how bad Bush handled this disaster, 9/11, Iraq and how people were dying this week in New Orleans, what do you think these true believers had to say about this weeks activities?
They were upset about the looting, the shootings etc.. They seemed to look past the facts that in the environment that is playing out in New Orleans, these people are at wits end. (Although, I cannot condon the weapon play and the shooting at those trying to help, I understand the frustrations of life and death, right before these Americans stuck in a living hell.
What was my Repub friends response to the facts that Bush had cut the levee funding projects since 2001, Bush has National Guardsmen in Iraq at a cost to the states affected, FEMA staffed with political appointees that have no disaster experiences, FEMA plowed under by Homeland Security and totally disorgainzed, a Energy bill that does not one thing to salvage Americas oil shortage or needs, gas gouging, Condi buying $1000 shoes today on Broadway instead of careing about her homestate Alabama, Bush playing with a Guitar and nowhere to be seen again while people are drowing, no FEDERAL response for almost four days while New Orleans drifts into anarachy?
They seemed to blink and say that they will vote for Bush tommrow if he was on the ballot. It is mind blowing that these former friends of mine are now Zombies....from "Night of the Living Dead". They do not care or understand the pain most America feels tonight about the lack of leadership, they just refuse to repent that they have screwed up and that Bush is a failure! Their lack of compassion and lack of interest in WHAT REALLY IS GOING ON WITH AMERICA UNDER BUSH leaves me to believe that we are living amoung SOUL DEAD DROIDS posing as Republicans. They were so disconnected instead of being plugged in to the pain and suffering. They still don"t get it!!!!!
