"Firms with Bush ties snag Katrina deals"

Amazing, that firms with the expertise to clean up the mess are getting contracts?

If firms with Bush ties snag Katrina deals, at least we can be sure it'll be done right and as promised.

There aren't any lib companies with any creditibility; or any they didn't rip off from day care centers.

Approximately 60% of Americans supported Bush in '04, So I suppose the OM and the 'Rats would preferr that the President George W 'Bush' go to the party that hates his guts and manages to tell him so every single day that he's been President and allow them to have the contracts...what's wrong with this picture? Suck it up 'Rats...you started losing beginning in '94 but in '00, you lost big time, also in '04 and you'll continue to lose as long as you portray your anti-Americanism and hatred for the vast majority of America. Learn to live with it...Americans have!

Maybe the contracts should have been awarded to Harpo Inc...gawd forbid they should go to any corporations that know what they are doing, much less any such corporations with "ties" to Bush (sheesh).

Again I say, who should get the contracts. The Sierra Club, Earth First, Ben and Jerrys, Al Gore, Hienz?

#8 - You completely "got" what bugged me about this.

As for Halliburton getting yet another contract... most of you read what Krauthammer wrote yesterday... think about it. In politics perception is everything... there will be a call to see if there was a bid for this work, who made the decision, how many other firms were involved and what their expertise is, etc... Just another issue to hand to the other side.

Ya see, Reuters, it's like this. When the job calls for the best out there, you hire them. Period. There is no time to dilly dally around playing political correctness games.

Be careful in defending Halliburton at any cost. David J. Lesar, Chairman, President & CEO has decided to have Halliburton join the Oklahoma lawsuit designed to empower corporations to fire gun-owning employees.
Yep - they want to destroy Second Amendment rights.

Let's see...you need some contract work done around your house as quickly and reliably as possible; who do you pick? Someone you know and whose work you are acquainted with, or someone whose work you are unfamiliar with, or some whiny bitter stranger with a history of generating excuses instead of results??? Decisions, decisions.

I think Bush should have hired fly-by-night outfits that neither he nor anyone else has ever heard of to avoid the appearance of impropriety. Oh yes, and make sure to pay them in cash upfront.

IDIOTS.

The headline shows the stupidity of the media. What morons!

What are the Reutervillians trying to imply here? This looks almost like libel.

Idiot reporter doesn't get it. Halliburton is sending out sub contract feelers all over the country. Halliburton isn't going to be doing the rebuild but they are one of only two companies in America that the skill to manage this.

BTW poster if you have such a problem with Haliburton I suggest you start your own company then go to the Army Corps of Engineers website where you too can bid on these contracts.

[The Traveler]

1. Halliburton ... first against the wall come the revolution.

Seriously. When we regain control of Congress, an investigation into Halliburton and procurement policies must needs be launched. Jail time for suits will be a result, I assure you.

[kikiek]

2. Bush got 60 pct in 2004? Hahaha...they are nuts! They don't know anything.

It was posted by half-genius. I think he is overstating his mental abilities too. And they don't seem to realize that Halliburton has been ripping off this country with their Iraq contracts. Or they're too stupid to read and only listen to oxyrush.

[Ken Burch]

3. No..he's right...Bush beat Kerry 60% to 58%!

...With 135% of all precincts counted by Diebold.

[kikiek]

5. Oh forgot the diebold factor.

[OneTwentyoNine]

13. And that factors in those 3,000 votes Bush got BEFORE voting started n/t

[Ken Burch]

16. Oh, that's right, forgot that he swept the absentee votes

from the 9/11 victims!

[TomClash]

4. Do we really need posts from these nutjob websites?

where half-baked jackoffs vomit on their computers and press enter.

[snowbear]

6. I've been asking the same thing forever....

I avoid Faux, rightwing radio, and ANY rightwing website like the plaque.. but even if I wanted to know what they were up to, all I have to do is log on here..

:shrug:

[mitchum]

7. Ldotters make freepers look like Edmund Burke

they are not knuckle draggers, but the tiny creatures over which the knuckles are dragged

[kikiek]

9. Geez..the name makes me think it's people of swedish descent. I hope not.

[Erika]

8. I look at these sites to see how Bushbots defend their racism

and their worship of an elitist corporate king. Most of them appear to be red staters who have never been out of their own state. They have preconceived notions from generations ago. They are worthy of our pity and our contempt. For a real racist conservative site, see www.pipelinenews.org and look at their posts.

[Old and In the Way]

10. How times change.

20 years ago, they'd be railing about these government-big business, no-bid contracts. Of course, that was when they were on the outside looking in. It amazes me how many core conservative principles that they've tossed or compromised in order to cover for their boy-king. Talk about moral and political relativism; these people are world-class practioners.

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

11. The handle "Half-genius" tells it all.

Genius isn't like infinity that can be divided in to a billion pieces and still be infinite.

I've heard lower cutoffs, but suppose genius IQ were defined to be 160.

Half of that is 80. An IQ of 80...enough said.

[Ken Burch]

12. I think an IQ of 80 was what Brick Tamblin in "Anchorman" claimed to have.

(And remember, in the postscript at the end of the film, Brick was revealed to have later become a political advisor to Dubya.)

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

14. LOL, that explains a lot!

:rofl:

[Catchawave]

15. Will Halliburton be hiring NOLA locals to

help take back their city with paid jobs?
