Senate Finance Committee members complained Wednesday that the Bush administration is blocking a bipartisan $9 billion health care package for hundreds of thousands of evacuees from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
...
"We can work with everybody, including the administration, or against them, and I'm prepared to go either way," said Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss. "But I'm going to look after our people first."

Yeah, we don't want to make these poor people choose between buying an Escalade or getting health insurance. (True story, I work in Lafayette, Louisiana)
Too bad I didn't sell it.
This health care package is just a trial balloon for nationalized health care, and I am totally against that.

Wait a moment here, If I have not miss understood, our government is been stingy when it comes to the people of this nations, moment of need.
But when it comes to a war that we didn't ask for it in a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. . .money was not a problem?
What is the difference here, Thomas, your and my tax payer money is been used in Iraq, how come is a sin to use it to help a fellow American in need.

Once again we witness the faliure of MR Bush in the presidency.Lets re-cap
on all the wonderful contributions he has made the great land to the west!
-Slow response to Katrina
That was the responsiblity of FEMA, not our president. Do you yell at the CEO of your company if the mail room screws up? NO. The director of FEMA has been replaced.
-Slow response on Osama,the key cause of 9/11
Slow? Wow. Two countries taken down in 4 years..you call that slow?
(by the way its almost as if the media and many others completely forgot about him)
-Iraq(ofcourse,who could forget Iraq)
What about Iraq? Thank Syria. Ohh, dont worry..they are on the list.
-Cutting the american forces from 150,000 to 10,000 on the search for taliban officials and Osama and wasting them in Iraq.
We've killed most of them, thus we need less resources.
-over 30,000 innocent deaths for no good cause whatso ever
Glad to see you support a dictator!
-over 2,000 Us troops deaths
While unfortunate, that is relatively low compared to past confilicts. Seems our tech is working no?
-Ignoring the nations opinions(especially democrats)
Who is he ignoring? He has responded to every major issue brought up?
-Stubborness
Where?
-Strained relationship with Arabs states.
Really? Not my problem. They need to learn to manage themselves better.
-Ignore close allie advice,e.g Germany and France
LOL. Now thats funny.
-Dis-respecting,ignoring UN policy
The UN is defunct. Oil for food? Sure, I'll trust them.
-Going into war illigally without any proof
Give me YOUR proof in regards to this statement, I am sure you have high level access at Washington.
-Mis-leading the american public of the existence of warheads in Iraq when their wasnt.
You found this out when? What resources do you have at your disposal that the U.S. doesn't, I mean, you knew before we did.
-Increase in carbombings.More risk to innocent civilians
And? A good example of why they need to be policed. They are doing it to themselves. America does not car bomb.
Now i know that all of you have heard this time and time again.And i can predict that many here will get defensive.But this is reality.And you cannot get rid of the flaws the Bush administration had made.This will come up time and time again.
Its time to wake up republican America.Its time realise.You can`t defend for long.I too am i saved christain,i read the bible as often as i can.But i am sick of what this government has done.Iv lost my confidence in mr Bush.And
I can promise you theres millions t follow.
Rest in peace Katrina victims.Rest impeace for all who lost their lives under this administration.
