Freepers you know who are stunned by the mess ** has wrought. Report here:

Sadly, I have not yet gotten through to my husband on it. I will have him listen to Mayor Nagin's interview on the radio to see if that helps.

But who has stories about people waking up?

1. I don't... have had the email fight from hell with our freeper EX friend

today.... he's a lost cause.

Last email I got in a nutshell was "no one could have prevented this" and "the budget cuts are Clinton's fault".... hopeless.

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. I'm getting the "no one could have prevented this" from hubby too.. MY

answer is "prevent, no.. prepare, yes!"

4. Me too.

I received a "I should be ashamed" email from my Repub aunt. According to her this "is not political, it is a National Disaster." I reminded her that is lives in Mobile, AL and was VERY lucky and because of that I expect her to go above and beyond to help the other victims. I'll be working at a donation center tomorrow, I told her to call me from the donation center she is working at. So far I have not heard back.

This tragedy is a horrible way for me to celebrate my 100th post! *sigh*

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. Okay.. well when this disaster is over, she better be ready for the

finger pointing. It WILL come.

Congrats on that 100th post.. and thanks for working at that donation center.

24. Congrats on your 100th post

and give thanks that * has managed to give you an arguement for the "it's not political" statement. If it's not political then why did relief supplies sit outside NO all night until * arrived today? Gimme a break, everything is political now. Just because they don't want it to be doesn't make it true. Liberals are able to donate, money, blood and time while still making a case for politics. So sue me. Oh and thanks for volunteering. :toast:

8. My spouse has long been a * supporter and a church-goer as

well. Yesterday at b'fast we were talking about NOLA et al, the levee problem that's been discussed for years, the emergency agencies who practiced with Hurricane Pam (simulation), the underfunding of Corps of Engineers, etc., - all subjects I've learned about since beginning to read DU. She said quietly "I didn't know that."

Watching * on his photo-op "briefing" earlier today, my former *supporting church-going spouse said with great force "unfuckingbelievable." I was so proud!

12. Thank you! I am glad to know someone out there is seeing the light!

17. Woo hoo!

I love DU. Every time I call my mom, I provide her with new facts to attack her local freepers with. I keep trying to get her here, but she hasn't made it yet.

10. Same here.

Threw down the gauntlet, he wanted to spew talking points.

I cut his ass off. No quarter. Not this time.

It's fucking sad.

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. No quarter is right. I have had it with people who don't get it!

20. but hasn't clinton been out of office for like...OVER 5 YEARS!

'scuse me. I'm not yelling at you. It's just amazing that some still blame clinton for the horrible state of our country today. I don't get that.

[blossomstar]

3. We need to demand removal of this INCOMPETENT

administration! Let us all band together and REMOVE this disasterous incompetent administration! In America we do not leave our citizens without their basic needs for 4 days! We should all drive to DC and sit until we have this administration REMOVED NOW!

[bertha katzenengel]

9. "drive to DC and sit" -- oh, please don't

:scared:

11. I have already written my Senators and Congressman to

investigate what appears to be gross negligence on the part of the Bush administration. I also asked that they also investigate rumors that aid was held back from the victims who have been going without food and water for three days until Bush arrived for his photo op.

I recommend that all DUers do the same.

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. Me too. We need to go after anyone on committees that deal with

disaster preparedness and homeland security.

16. One of my senators is Rick Santorum. My Rep. is Joseph Pitts.

Those two jockey for whose head can go farther up Bush's ass.

Arlen Specter knows Bush is an incompetent asshole, though he's too weak to say so.

So, I'll have to find someone else to call.

6. Talked to my mom this morning

My dad, who is not exactly a freeper, but a fiscal conservative, is "outraged" at Shit For Brains' response. Talked to friend of mine who has a legit freeper wife and she feels the same way. What it all means I don't know, but my gut tells me they will pay a heavy price in the mid terms. Assuming Dems can craft a coherent message to highlight the gross incompetence of this mis-administration. I do have my doubts on that.

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. I am glad your dad gets it... but I worry about DIEBOLD... we

still have to deal with that during elections.

14. Saw two grizzled late-middle-aged men, who drove up in a

giant suburban, eating lunch, today, discussing how the president was useless. I don't know if they were GOP, before -- but I'd suspect. (Of course, my dad is late-middle-aged, and drives a Chevy Tahoe, and doesn't like Bush, either).

Saw a woman and a cashier get in a fight at the health food store - apparently they were aquaintances -- cashier tried to make an excuse for Bush ("he's got a lot on his plate"), and the other went off on her, yelling about five weeks vacation, and then the cashier finally agreed.

Rural Iowa, in a Republican county.

23. Thanks! I need to know that real people have a clue, esp now that the

media has been Roved.

22. Anderson Cooper

Remember him trashing Cindy 2 weeks ago?

Remember him yesterday?

I barely know any freepers personally and I keep my distance from ones I know of.

[librechik]

26. all my freeper family is hurtin so bad from Iraq deployments

I don't even want to bring it up. They didn't look so gungho last time we talked, that's for sure.

[GreenPartyVoter]

27. :^( I am sorry. It's a hell of a way for them to have to wake up
