Politics is a dirty game. Far dirtier than the water the hurricane has brought in. The repukes would skewer Gore, Kerry, Kuncinich, ANYBODY who has treated this hurricane as second fiddle.

5. Hell no
Why would they do that? They are total cowards. Why change now. Why hold Bush accountable for lack of FEMA preparation, lack of funding for levee repair, lack of NG to help?

Why in the world would cowardly democrats even consider holding the Bush administration accountable for anything???

7. Dems never seize the opportunity.
Wouldn't want to look like they weren't fully supporting "The President." Might alienate some repuke voters who'd never suppport them anyway.

8. Lead, Follow, or get out of the way
...I think Bush has chosen the latter.

9. Dems should hold fundraising block parties
for hurricane relief.

Charity, recognition, potential recruits to party
