I Say Mississippi Should Pay For Its Own Clean Up

[rsmith6621]

.......after the Sat tornadoes since Gov.Barbour doesn't like Federal tax dollars going to help people and since states do a better job than BIG OLE GOVERNMENT.....



God must hate Mississippi for all the Gawd awful weather he bestows on them.

1. didn't they get plenty of Katrina cleanup money?

[rurallib]

6. Plenty - and help. Having a republican governor was a real plus

that NOLA didn't have.

[ellenfl]

2. we need to watch to see if he asks for fed help . . . and then trumpet

his request. you know he will ask, quietly.

3. Barbour has already asked for federal aid

FEMA arrived today.

4. To take all the white people to concentration camps, right?

:sarcasm:

7. Bunch of hypocrites... n/t

[hlthe2b]

5. Plenty of impoverished in MS... they can't help having an ass for Gov

[RKP5637]

8. Quite true, but they vote these people in... n/t

[havocmom]

9. Actually, if there are enough of them, they might have had a hand in picking the gov

We gotta find a way to overcome this tendency of so many to vote against their own best interests.

15. That is so so so true. In fact, many don't even realize that what they do have

for support, rights, fairness and all was often brought to them by the D's. The democratic party to me does a horrible job of getting out the message on what they do for people. The democratic party to me needs a new ad agency. People get pounded often 7x24 by the negativity of the R propaganda and often don't hear the D messaging. To me, that has been one of the weakest links in the D party.

10. If they have money to file a lawsuit

to deny their citizens health care, they ought to be able to pay for the clean up AND any of the health care they may now need.

Why are they come running to we the real taxpayers to give them anything.

11. You are either being ridiculous or being a dick.

[WeDidIt]

12. I think it's sarcasm. n/t

[MilesColtrane]

13. That's what I hope.

[Jamastiene]

14. Way to win those hearts and minds of the people of Mississippi.

Maybe if you run fast enough, you can kick a couple of dead bodies in the face before they find them (maybe even kick a couple dead children to get your extra jollies), if that's what will make you feel better.

:thumbsdown:

You really shouldn't blame all the people of Mississippi for what the dumbasses say and do. There are plenty of good people down there too.

16. I'll not wish harm on an already hurt people

But I'd be all for kicking haley barbour right square in the nuts though. Does that count?

[AngryOldDem]

17. Here's some stats on Yazoo City

<<<The median income for a household in the city was $19,893, and the median income for a family was $22,470. Males had a median income of $26,109 versus $18,650 for females. The per capita income for the city was $9,251. About 35.0% of families and 40.2% of the population were below the poverty line, including 52.5% of those under age 18 and 23.5% of those age 65 or over.<<


Don't know and don't care if you were being sarcastic. This is just to remind you that there are real people hurting down there, even before the tornado wiped them out.

18. Mississippi can't even pay for its schools and highways

Mississippi receives far more from the Federal Government than it pays in Federal taxes. Link:

19. Don't forget

That spill could float towards Florida, where, despite what the papers may say, people are fully against drilling.
