MEME! Where Was Gov't Help for NO? Grover Norquest was drowning them in
the bathtub.

Is everyone wondering where the help for the victims was in the first few days of the disaster? Wondering why it took so long to get aid to the victims? Why hundreds, possibly thousands died? Well, here is the answer, plain and simple.

All the Disaster Relief teams; the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) resources; all of the great and wonderful powerful forces that could have brought help, hope, and heroes to the people devastated by Katrina were detained...

...by Grover Norquest. As he had shrunk them down to a size small enough to drown them in the bathtub. Yep, Grover Norquest is a man of his word, and he was engaged in shrinking and drowning our Federal Government's Emergency Response resources, right while part of our nation was being ravaged by a horrific natural disaster that could have been largely mitigated by adequately funded and staffed Federal Government Agencies.


Norquest probably thinks it is good that people died, so there will be less "freeloaders" burdening the horribly oppressed ultra-wealthy taxpayers.

"I want to shrink Government down to the size where I can drown it in the bathtub". These are Norquest's very own words for the mission of his PAC, Citizens for Tax Reform.

1. Now there's a political cartoon that just about draws itself...
An elephant, which looks suspiciously like norquist, drowning the city of New Orleans, with that quote of his as a caption
