When Bush says 'strong on security' you say 'Dubai ports deals'

[savemefromdumbya]

Don't you find on the doorstep that when voters (GOP leaning) say how good Bush/GOP are good on homelan security and the war against terror. Then you say what about the Dubai ports deals and they say 'oh yes that's right' Then you say what about Bush and FEMA's response to Katrina? Then they look a bit sheepish......

1. and don't forget this one:

Port gives up on antiterrorism funds this year (Oakland)

OAKLAND — Nothing can be done to get federal security funding for the Port of Oakland this year, so port officials and congressional representatives will have to focus on winning money next year, Rep. Barbara Lee said Tuesday.

I wonder why they don't want to fund Oakland?

3. Very blue area

in a blue state. As we saw with Katrina, who cares if a bunch of black people are killed? Whether it be by terrorists, or hurricanes, it doesn't matter, they don't vote repuke...so let them die.

That's reason enough. Remember, funds for NYC weren't authorized either. Meanwhile, nowheresville, Oklahoma is a major terrorist target apparently.

Pretty much typical of the nasty spiteful way this administration behaves with regards to everything.

4. I guess our state representatives have to do somethig about it
