Poll question: Does Bush and the rest of the country care anymore about Louisiana
than Coolidge and the country did in 1927?

1. When * laughed and said he only watches "the ball game" on
T.V. -- it was pretty clear he could care less about anyone still suffering the effects of the New Orleans hurricane.

4. New Orleans will be the property of the rich
They will keep only the minimal number of the poor to service their needs. The Black property owners will not get the funds to rebuild and reclaim.

5. If Huey Long were governor, fewer people would've died

He would've forcefully commandeered buses to get folks out, and he would've whupped George Bush's ass back to Washington if he came to town.

8. I saw Huey Long's statue in the Capitol
It seems he truly stood up for people.

7. Why lump the rest of the country in with that asshat?
Why do you keep insisting that nobody cares about Louisiana? What are we, chopped liver? We care about the people hurting everywhere because of this hellish administration. Stop repeating this.

9. My thought exactly, DBE
There's no doubt that Bush doesn't give a flying fig about any of the areas hit by Katrina, especially the poor/brown/black areas, but I still care a lot, and so do a lot of people I know.

10. People might care but no one is helping the marginal
land owners. NO will be a resort city of the rich, with a minimal number of "lower class" citizens to meet the rich people's needs. New Orleans, is lost.
