What's the surprise here? Bush's "Bring it on" applied only to terrorists aiming to kill and maim American soldiers. After all, he's a hairy-chested, big-testicled "War President," and he has no time for such trivial matters as helping American citizens. Imagine how humiliating it would have been for America to have accepted assistance from foreigners?...well, unless it's for lawn care and light housekeeping, of course. Besides, his beast of a mom said those people down there actually got an upgrade from coach when the hurricane hit.

"Compassionate Conservatism." Pshaw! The biggest load of crap that's ever been peddled in this country.

It is absolutely ridiculously on how little the American government has helped people out of poverty and disaster. Instead, the government continues to create poverty and violence abroad in Iraq. Thousands of refugees and poverty areas are created by both the governmental neglect of post-Katrina and the Iraq war. As on the nations pledge to eliminate world poverty and hunger in the Millennium Project, the government is doing very little to uphold that promise. According to the Borgen Project, whose goal is to fight global poverty, the US government has spent $340 billion dollars on the war. However, it only takes $19 billion dollars annually to end world poverty. This government needs a new direction and a new leader. And we have to start making poverty a leading political issue in the White House.

Mstessyrue -

We spend more than half of what the world - in its entirety - spends on military and armaments, and among the developed countries we spend less of our GDP on human assistance than almost all of our peers.

All that Bush and his Republican fat cat friends care about is their dividend checks, their unseemly capital gains, the huge windfalls they can suck out of the federal budget, and they don't give a damn about anything else, including their own children's futures. They are truly sick, demented people.

For instance...and this is just one of about ten thousand...Bush's "solution" for the health care problem in this country is to make the cost of health care tax deductible for those who already have it. And catastrophic health care? Put it all on the federal government's tab...AFTER the patient has spent $5,000 of his own money.

Show of hands everybody...Who has $5,000 in their checking accounts right now?

Now, go to the Republican website and ask the same question.

So what you get is a sweet, high deductible federal insurance policy for filthy rich people who don't need it. meanwhile, they continue to bleed Medicare and Social Security to fund huge tax cuts for the rich.

But not to worry - Bush says "Hey - we already HAVE a health care system. After all, 'folks' can just go to the emergency room." That's your compassionate conservative president for you. His Dad thinks Ketchup is a vegetable, his mother thinks poor people are better off living in 100 degree heat, fetid with the stink of human excrement, sleeping with thousands of strangers in the middle of a sports stadium. than they are in their own homes, and this miserable, cowardly pus bag punk thinks "health care" means some seven year old going to the emergency room when her asthma gets so bad she needs a tube stuck down her throat so you she breathe a few cc's of oxygen. Or a single mom going there to get her breasts cut off because she couldn't afford mammograms. Or a grievously wounded vets sharing hospital beds with vermin and filth, just a few miles away from where Bush sleeps on clean satin.

Hate George Bush? Oh yeah. I hate him. If you don't, check your pulse. Anyone who doesn't hate Bush has a threshold for tolerating greed, bigotry, belligerence, slovenliness, and general inhumanity that is way, way, too high for decent society.

If Bush isn't worthy of hate, no one is.

Bush turned down offers of help from other countries after Katrina? We already knew this.
Posturing was more important than people's lives. Well, yes, that's a Republican thing.
Bush played the guitar while the Gulf Coast was washed away. Hmmm! Remind you of anyone? Aome Roman guy, claimed he was an emperor. I think he was assassinated by the Roman army.
IMPEACH THE MURDERER NOW!!!!

If the people in New Orleans had been white, rich and Republican, it would have been a different story. But they were not. They were, poor, black and Democrats. Bush saw as opportunity to get rid of some Democratic voters and he liked it. Let them die!!!

Speaking of Barbara Bush I have some friends in Texas that know Barbara Bush and they all say she is a Bitch if you say anything against her family.
She is for them right or wrong. They are such perfect people. You never hear any of the Bushs
doing any charity work unless they are ask by a Democrat to join them to help and that the President will approve if a Republican is a part of it.

Freeforall -

Maybe so, but I don't need heresay when I have Barbara Bush to speak for herself:

"Almost everyone I’ve talked to says we're going to move to Houston.

"What I’m hearing which is sort of scary is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality.

"And so many of the people in the arena here, you
know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this is working very well for them."

She's a model compassionate conservative Republican, isn't she? No surprise she calved the lowlife scum we call "president."

Hmmmpf! My daughter was so "overwhelmed by the hospitality in Houston that she hired a U-Haul and moved back to Montana after 6 months.
I guess she just wasn't rich enough to get any hospitality.

Did the US Goverment do anything right when it came to dealing with Katrina??
