I have never been so pissed as I am at the govt over NO
Here's how I will spin it.

Bush and the GOP-led govt let thousands die holding up aid. Bush and the GOP-led govt let oil prices get out of hand BEFORE the hurricane by allowing the oil companies to gouge us.

Bush and the GOP-led govt let people starve and die of thirst and heat stroke because they were poor and black and they didn't feel their lives were worth saving. They actually blamed them, many of whom had no transportation and were disabled for not leaving before the storm.

Bush and the GOP-led govt redirected money that was SUPPOSED to have rebuilt the levies in New Orleans to pay for the Bogus War In Iraq.

Bush and the GOP-led govt failed miserably in disaster preparedness and recovery. What will happen if another terrorist attack occurs? Will they be just as unprepared?

1. For the want of a Nail, the shoe was lost...in this case, for the want of
a good Crisis Manager(FEMA)...the City was lost....

Brown, picked by Bush, proved to be the 2nd half of the weak link

Bush is the other half.

BushCo is WEAK LINKS

2. I'm right there with you
and my spin is that Bush spent billions on a cabinet level department of homeland security - did that make us any more safe or prepared?

5. You don't need to "spin" anything. Just tell the truth and state your true
feelings. "Spinning" "Using" etc. are all tactics of adolescents. We are the adults. Don't copy their behavior and morals by using the terms of manipulators. We are better than that. They have nothing to teach us.

Those these you write are all statements, questions, real things.

This is not "game playing". This is reality. We are the adults. We fight with the truth. We don't have anything to learn from the tactics of the right. Don't let yourself be diminished by using their games.

We are reality. If you start out by saying "this is spin" it implies it is political and they will slap us with that. This are questions. These are valid. We deal with the way things actually are.

Don't reflect their behaviour. Speak truth to power. That is what matters most. That they don't suck us down a hole. Remember Cindy? She didn't have politicians visiting her all day long. She simply spoke the truth and stuck to it. Why she was so effective. Cause they couldn't say "aw it is just politics with her and she is lying or she hates the president". She had a real message. She was a real person. And that is how she punched through to the truth.
