Would Bush-co try and encourage victims to sue the federal |
|
government? The normal practice in a disaster is that the government takes on the responsibility of cleaning up & giving people new homes & aid, and they sign over their right to sue. That is standard practice for any disaster settlement.
In Bushco's desire to see the federal government debt-ridden and sunk, and in an attempt to play Dems off against their base, would Bushco encourage lawsuits against the federal government?
It would hurt the Dems badly as they would have to be on the side of people giving up their ability to sue as they received government compensation.
I know it is unlikely. But the Repukes are now desperate to bankrupt the government. They know now they will loose power in the years to come.
I guess I just had that bad thought and put it out there.
Does anyone know what the federal government's current laws are on settle ling the victims of disasters?

2. Not everyone believes the machines steal votes. Mostly they |
|
are a tool to divide Dems. Repukes are too smart to use diebold to steal votes. Machines are used for voter suppression by not putting enough of them out - or by creating apathy because there is no transparency.
If you stay home because you believe in the diebold conspiracy - they have won. Their machines actually worked.
If you volunteer in the 2006 elections and get into a fight with a moderate Dem about the machines..so that you do not fight well together - voter suppression is the result.
Repukes only play in voter suppression. There is not way to prosecute them when the Democrat who wouldn't wait in line for 5 hours ... when the exit polls said the Dems were winning that district ... decided themselves not to vote.
Don't teach others not to vote.
Diebold is a tool. But not used in the way you think. Why who would make up a name for a machine that had a basis in latin for evil? Unless they thought it would help us be wedged apart.
Voter suppression is the issue. All Democrats should be taught that anything that makes you think for a second about 'not voting' is a tool to suppress your vote.
Exit polls, the seemingly evil & non-transparent diebold machine, long lines, threats to vet only felons of on voting block, apathy, intimidation at the polls, aggressive suppression of recounts by election officials, wedges that will make Democratic volunteers squabble between themselves over 'exactly how evil is G.B & the neocon machine, lack of transparency, ID laws, phone jamming of election phone banks, etc. etc.
Anything that makes anyone think "aw I should not bother voting" should be an alarm bell.

3. I mean that FEMA guy was handing out money to anyone after Florida. |

You gotta wonder. It seems the Bushites cannot spend money fast enough. Also too, remember that when their are tariffs put on imports, Bush sends all that money to the corporations in that industry.
They just cannot spend down fast enough.
