1. No, she waited 24 hours to consider whether to turn La. over to George. |

George was still under obligation to be sending aid. He didn't. He was bullying. I found this on Snopes. http://www.snopes.com/politics/katrina/nagin.asp

2. If you need the truth, why post what could be a lie as a thread title? |
|
Maybe you should edit that? At least put quotes around it to indicate it's a position and not a "fact."

15. Thank you, I was just going to post the same thing. |

From that thread:
The Congressional Research Service (CRS) issued a report Tuesday afternoon asserting that Louisiana governor Katherine Blanco took the necessary and timely steps needed to secure disaster relief from the federal government, RAW STORY has learned.
The report, which comes after a request by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) to review the law and legal accountability relating to Federal action in response to Hurricane Katrina, unequivocally concludes that she did.
"This report closes the book on the Bush Administration's attempts to evade accountability," Conyers said in a statement. "The Bush Administration was caught napping at a critical time."
*******
And there you have it. Now can we move on from that strawman argument and address the too numerous to count instances of the federal government refusing to allow lifesaving aide to reach dying people in New Orleans??

6. NOT TRUE!!! She asked for relief the day before the storm hit and the |
|
day of the storm and every day after that.
BUSH wanted to take control of her Nat'l Guard. She didn't wanna give control of the Nat'l Guard over. I applaud her for that.
IT is true that FEMA denied the people help.

27. Well what about the bald assertion that you admit you don't know is true? |

Can you do something about that? Or do you like having people on your ass about that?

That thread title is mis-leading. I'm sick of the blame Blanco game. It's BU$H who is at fault. BU$H....the bullying SOB who thinks he's God almighty and can't do any wrong. BU$H....get it?

28. Why are you posting rw lies?? |

Edited on Tue Sep-13-05 03:52 PM by me b zola
You have been asked to at least edit the title of your thread so as not to perpetuate rw lies. You have been silent. Why?
on edit: Thanks for deleting. However, if you really are debating someone on this rw statement, the link that several of us have provided that discusses the report that has just come out is your answer to wingers.
