We are NOT politicizing this
Saying things which might have poltical consequences is NOT the same thing as "politiczing." Make sure to tell that to anyone who says Dems are "politicizing."

3. Politics happened when Bush went short on the domestic infrastructure
and long on his "war on Terror". The results of these asset allocations decisions cost this country $100BB this week. That's the politics of the situation.

5. Politics and policy are not mutually exclusive.
They have to be held accountable for their policies.

4. The politicizing was done before this ever happened
when they cut the funding for the levees and when they placed FEMA under Homeland Security.
The failure here is the bureaucracy of the administration. That leads right back to bu$h and his policies.
We don't have to politicize it was done for us.

We must however continue to point fingers against what the regime keeps saying, those responsible for this failure must be held accountable, this was murder simple as that.

8. Absolutely we should.
Bush has politicized everything, and the direct result is the loss of a major American city.

We must hold him accountable. No mercy.

10. If BC had done 1/1000th of what these morons have done, he'd

11. More on the politics, MSNBC talking now how bu$h can recover politically
from this fiasco.
It is fair game to politicize the death and destruction of the people of New Orleans.
Don't let them have died in vain, their cause is the end of the bu$h regime.

12. You can be sure if the shoe were on the other foot, they would .
Any way, if holding them accountable for incompetency is politicizing this, so be it.
