Harry Reid tells us something we already know. Americans don't care and have never cared about us

[RB TexLa]

or considered us to be human beings. Our 2,000 deaths was NOTHING compared to their 110.


WASHINGTON -- Sen. Harry Reid told the Senate floor on Friday that Hurricane Katrina was “nothing in comparison” to Hurricane Sandy.

“The people of New Orleans in that area, they were hurt,” said Reid, the Democratic majority leader. “But nothing in comparison to what happened to the people in New England.”

1. Wow, what the heck has Reid been smoking?

The Feds may have been there sooner but their inept response was devastating.

[RB TexLa]

2. He's just being honest. We know you consider us to be nothing.

[Angry Dragon]

4. He does not speak for me .............

[Sekhmets Daughter]

6. To whom do you refer when saying "You" consider us to be nothing?

[RB TexLa]

7. Americans.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

14. You're more offensive than Reid. Proud of yourself now?

[RB TexLa]

15. This isn't news to us. We've known what Americans think of us.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

17. So you are not American?

9. Now you are just being rude. How dare you speak for me.

You don't know what I think and I don't appreciate your accusation.

[RB TexLa]

21. I spoke for me, and I don't care if you don't appreciate the truth.

22. Well, Reid said something really stupid

but not half as stupid as what you just said. Sorry you are having a bad day but that is no reason to take it out on the rest of us.

3. Wow . . . that's mind-boggling.

I guess when poor people die en masse it's not really that big of a deal?

[Sekhmets Daughter]

5. I think he is talking property damage...

I would be inclined to ask just when NY and NJ became part of New England? Reid should talk less, he messes up as frequently as Romney.

[WinkyDink]

12. He said "people."

[Sekhmets Daughter]

13. Yes, well people suffer when their property is damaged. You don't think buildings feel pain do you?

8. I went down to New Orleans nearly two years after Katrina.

It still looked like a war zone in many places. Thousands were unsettled, never to return. Entire neighborhoods were turned to ghost towns.

I don't want to minimize anyone's suffering. I'm sure Sandy was terrible. But there is a better way to measure damage than just in terms of property damage. It is disgusting to minimize what happened in the Gulf. It was a disgrace the way people were treated.

10. Hey, Harry; Jersey ain't in NEW ENGLAND, you nitwit! (Not to mention his egregious

"Katrina" remark.)

[mucifer]

11. most senators care more about things and money than people. It's sad.

[bluestate10]

16. Reid is talking about property damage and economic disruption.

I really, really wish democrats would one day learn how to state a thought without putting their damned feet in their mouths. I see democratic politicians and so called strategist make the mistake all the time, republicans are far better at messaging, except those around Mitt Romney.

18. Some posters never stop tying to ..

... find wedges to drive between people around here, do they?

[GoneOffShore]

19. Nailed it.

[leftyohiolib]

20. hey reid just stuff a doughnut in your piehole and fix the filibuster

[stevenleser]

23. He's specifically talking about the response. That there was a faster federal response to Katrina.

I hope this was an honest mistake on your part.
