2. Let the Blue States pay for it, eh, Goodhair?

Palin's schtick was 'Drill baby drill' ... I guess this moron is in favor of 'Burn Baby Burn?'

4. Will Cantor tell him

that unfortunately, he cannot receive relief funds until they can find some budget cuts to offset this expenditure?

All of them are without heart, soul or love of fellow man. And Democrats need to pound this point home over and over!!! Cut the funding by 75% for volunteer firefighters and then beg the government to come in and rescue you - and they are so f-ing hypocritical, they will think nothing of doing this while condemning it. It is mind boggling.

p.s. Please stay safe, people of Texas. We need a WATER pipeline more than we need a oil pipeline!

5. Every democrat should be screaming this out, over and

over, as an answer to ANY question asked of them today. Hopefully, someone will ask Perry about this at the debates tomorrow. It's totally insane that he cut VOLUNTEERS. Now that his state is burning down, I'd love to hear him try to explain this away.

6. I don't know if he will politically survive this tragedy

this is going to be Rick's Katrina.

[ellenrr]

7. oh, he'll survive.

8. Wishful thinking I guess

If the media would get behind the fact that he cut the budget on firefighting, perhaps it would damage him.

9. I hate this interview.Why didn't they ask him how cutting the VFD's budget by 75%.

has hurt and how the fires should have been anticipated? Gees. This is poor reporting.
