"The big elephant in the room"

[CatWoman]

Cafferty couldn't have said it better.

Does the * admin's response, or lack of response, surprise anyone here?

This is a mob that stole the White House by telling me and my kind that we don't fucking matter. We don't count. They didn't need our votes, so they took it away from us. They don't need our support, so stay the fuck out of their hand-picked crowd of "adoring supporters".

Fuck us, and fuck our lives. We mean nothing to them. We don't vote for them. We're better off dead -- that way we won't contaminate their "beautiful minds".

The big elephant that no one wants to discuss is the race and economic status of those poor wretched souls hanging on for dear life in the Gulf states.

Republicans like to play the race card, and tell us that "they care about us".

Yeah, right.

Bush has avoided us like the plague. He keeps stooges like Rice and Powell (let's not forget that idiot Uncle Tom Blackwell in Ohio) close to him in an effort to ward off the truth.

The only angle to the discussion the media wants to highlight is the looting. After all, as we know, only my kind loots. They "find" or "pull themselves up by the bootstraps" or "improvise".

But we loot.

And we're too stupid to vote at that.

1. While my heart is breaking for the lost and the ignored...

... I can't begin to imagine how you must feel right now.

This is an outrage! There isn't a font large enough to express my anger.

3. when I left work, I said I wasn't going to watch any more of the news

coverage.

I mistakenly turned on MSNBC :cry:

4. I can't not watch.

I just keep hoping to see Jesse J. dare those FEMA fucks to get in his way as he walks into the crowd.

2. Amen. Where is Frances Rice? n/t

5. His 30% blind "base" may continue to believe this nonsense, but

the vast majority of our country and the rest of the world gets it! The televised pictures of the suffering and misery tell the whole story--no captions are needed. (And, I'm not talking about the looting pictures, we can see past them.) The injustice of this happening in America is beyond belief. No wonder Iraq is such a mess!

6. Michael Chernoff was just on NPR - He is totally incompetent

He doesn't have a clue. All he has are excuses and no plan to do anything about the problem because he can't even see the problem.

What a fucking asshole.
