First of all, Democrats did not "demand" that FEMA be either demoted or gutted...

That is what Old Guy wished had happened so that his argument would hold up but that's not true... In other words: False...

And what difference does it make if the the DHS was an idea that was pushed by the Dems???

This is another typical red herring that has nuthin' to do with Katrinagate...

Oh Lousiana is rife with corruption??? Have you taken a look at the Halliburton/Bectel/Exxon-Mobil/Merck?etc owned Bush administartion??? Makes all the states combines look like a Boy Scout troop...

Since when is "send everything you have" being made the day that Katrina was just making landfall, too late??? Date of request: August 29th...

Another false Old Guy arguement...

Lets see what othefr outright falsehoods there are in Old Guy's list of particulars...

A fully maintained levee system couldn't have protected against a Cat 1 storm: Which global-warmin'-ain't-happening engineer has said that, Old Guy??? You must have had to dig real deep to find him or her...

Talk about rhetoric!!! Phew, here we are pushing 800 posts and the original positions I put forth from spending a week in Google searching and over a 100 pages of articles from over 20 different sources and here Old Guy thinks it's mje that doesn't have the facts???

Well, all I can say is, "Don't Bogart that joint, my friend.." you are so smokes up that you wouldn't know a fact if it bit you on yer old Guy arse...
