At least one independent has seen thru the slime the left is putting out over Katrina!

Hmmm. At least it wasn't a sex change.

[Bahbah]

This is the most disgusting example of muck raking we have ever witnessed in this country.

I guess they go with what they've got.

If Katrina was what it took, someone hasn't been paying attention. None of this is new, just a more intense form of an existing psychological disorder: Bush Derangement Syndrome.

Too many in the media have a "Helter Skelter" mentality.

[RedStateRocker]

I actually think that the "I take responsibility" speech and attitude will be thought of as one of the President's finest hours. To be fair, many on the left have never had, in their entire lives, the chance to watch an adult take responsibility for ANYTHING!

Pres Bush is our first MBA president. Even the very best managers sometimes are in charge when thing get snafu-ed; real men say "I was at the top, the buck stops here" and then move on.

In addition, one of the most telling tests of any boss is:
what do they do when a subordinate is just not measuring up? There is a balanced between loyalty (good, to a degree) and realizing that even a good buddy is in over their head and replacing them with someone who CAN handle the job (also good, to a degree). I think the President did what he had to do.

This is great news.

Welcome aboard. 100 million more minds to sway and we might stay great as a country and watch each other's backs as we should.

The Kennedy family will be so disappointed - BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

[msnimje]

DONKEY NO MORE!!! Congratulations, you just increased your IQ by 30 points.

There IS hope for the others

And I heard a lady call Sean Hannity last week and say that between the Katriana blame-shifting and the ridiculous behaviour of the dem sens questioning Roberts she was changing her voter registration to Republican.

She got the "hannitization" harp chord riff, but she really deserved a caller of the year award, if there was such a thing.

While people were just beginning to be plucked from roof tops in New Orleans, the anti-America, blame-government-first, Bush-haters were immediately on the hunt for a political spin they could put on this tragedy.

That pretty much sums it up.

[Ken Cooper]

The government failed us at every level during Hurricane Katrina, and yet the democrats cry for more government. I am happy to hear you have become a conservative, but this country as a whole is on the slippery slope, and conservative values in the long run will strengthen us. Welcome to the party!

[Rocky]

Wow! Thanks for posting this.

[adorno]

Great post!

But FReepers and rerpublicans in general have known about how the left operates way before Katrina and way before Bush became their target 5 years ago.

The left always counts and hopes for bad news in order to try to better their political fortunes. Bad news for America, whether at war overseas or on the homefront, are the left's best friends.

There is a landmark event coming up in the next few weeks or months which the liberals are awaiting anxiously and gleefully. It is the 2000th American death in Iraq. The liberals will be issuing a collective baseball-stadium-like 'wave' and a large number of high-fives when the magic number of 2000 is reached.

Bad news for America is the left's only hope for getting back into power..

911 also shocked a few dems out of their party. I think one reason we have more RINO's is they are refugees from the Democratic party cuz they can't stand it any more, but still are quite liberal in many ways.

[metmom]

Let's hope he gets through to others who read this. If we could just get some of them to start THINKING...

[Lorianne]

We had 9/11 Republicans and now we'll see Katrina Republicans. I say, welcome home.

[Once-Ler]

They can't help it.

The rats hate Dubya so much and they are frustrated as to why most people seem to actually like the President. Everything is Dubya's fault. There are movies on the internet that explain how Dubya stole the election in 2000, masterminded the 9-11 attacks so he could wage war in Iraq and eventualy destroy the world. They know Dubya is evil and no good can come from him.

For the next 3 years the rats are going to keep doing things that will hurt them with voters. This is a great time to be a Republican.
