...at a wedding. I know several renters that were simply presented a check.
Of course that was right prior to the 2004 sElection and in a state that could go either way.
Plus if I may add something rather telling Charlotte County Florida is primarily White and votes faily Red.
New Orleans is WAS decidedly not.

didn't deserve it or need it. I don't know if that is true. But supposedly a lot of financial aide went to areas with minimal damage.

2. I'm not saying that people didn't deserve the checks. |

Just that they were fast and furiously handing them out.
Then again I've been told that they're trying to get some back now...

3. I' m sure most needed it. But they didn't seem to care to check on who |

really did at the time. I suppose now that the election is over they want it back. Kind of like a loan that you didn't know the terms of. Probably figured out who voted for Kerry and asked for the money back. Haha

4. West FLA Coast House Reps |

Well, the Representatives for the west coast of Florida were Porter Goss and Katherine Harris. My RW in-laws live in Venice, FL. I don't think that they let Dems into that town. The local repug party office is right on one of the main streets.
