"Where do these liars come from, it’s almost as though the Dems are hatching pod people in the back room, the entire Democrat Party has gone completely mad thanks to Soros and his big bucks. I hope this causes her and the media more damage than they ever imagined."

A thoroughly corrupt, half-blind extortionaire wanted in two countries; and then they'll wonder why they lost Congress and couldn't gain the Executive in '08.

Is that Blanco? My memories of Blanco is she was more concerned with Moosing it up, rather than dealing with problem.

That's her. Chad Rogers of TheDeadPelican.com often uses that pic when posting an article about her.

“The president showed up on the ground there - did the governor?”

I think she was in the town Sunday, two days after the storm hit. But Bush will be the one slammed for taking so long to visit.

Kansas allows for the recall of state officials, prima facie it requires specific grounds, but has always left a loophole:

Kansas: conviction for a felony, misconduct in office, incompetence, or failure to perform duties prescribed by law. No recall submitted to the voters shall be held void because of the insufficiency of the grounds, application, or petition by which the submission was procured. (KS Stat. §25-4301)"

Didn’t I hear it took so long to look for survivors/victims because residents did not go to shelters, but instead most were staying with friends or family, so it was hard to take a headcount? These people seemed to be taking pretty good care of themselves and each other, considering the circumstances. They weren’t standing in street screaming for free trailers ASAP. I don’t think the National Guard is considered a first responder, either. These good people just look like they need a good shipment of building supplies and they’d be good to go.

The lying incompetents of the Democratic Party will say and do just about anything.

Good story about the Red Cross. I have seen much the same...albeit not financial.

The Salvation Army always showed up to help in my hometown whenever there was fire, or a disaster. Bags of clothes for the family, a place to stay, etc. At the major events (forest fires, BIG house/barn fires) usually someone got there in time to bring sandwiches and coffee to the firefighters/Disaster Workers.

The Red Cross never showed onscene (that I remember). They always had hoops for the distressed families to jump through. Dad used to say that they'd help....but grudgingly.

I write my biggest charitable checks to the SA several times a year. The Red Cross is not on my list for charitable donations.

It continues. I just heard a sound bite on Fox with the Governor running on about rebuilding the town “better than ever” and making it the “greenest” town in Kansas. Who asked her to put a leftist environmental spin on recovery efforts. Do the residents want their town “improved?”

KA BOOM

Farm communities don’t NEED instruction about how to give a hand to their neighbors.

Apparently the KS Gov has never been on an farm.

You forgot Michigan! Detroit saddled us with 4 more years of Granholm. We’re also “blessed” with Senator Stabenow, gag.

Dude, internet polls are the biggest waste of time ever.

Doubt me? Ask your self if you'd believe an Internet poll that showed President Bush's approval rating had fallen to 5%...or risen to 85%. What if it was mor of a reasonable rise, say about 20 points to 50%? Would you think "Wow, those internet polls are known for their accuracy" and figure he was having a really good week?

"WHO IN THE HELL PUTS THESE IDIOT WOMEN INTO POWER? good question. It doesn't make sense in flyover country that such leftists would gain power"

I agree. I've heard that farmers as a group are the most likely to switch from party to party, but usually they are salt of the earth types that can see through such crap. What the hell IS the matter with Kansas?

You wish. The Dems here own the press and the Republicans won’t fight back. It is pitiful.
