If you think the only people living near the coast who were affected were Jersey playboys with oceanfront vacation mansions, you're mistaken. There were many coastal neighborhoods full of "regular people," as you put it -- working class living in one modest home.

Living by the ocean doesn't automatically mean you're flush with cash.

We are one nation and it is time that we act like it. The south, like every other part of the country, doesn't have the resources to survive a major disaster and due to continued lack of action on global warming, we can expect to see more severe storms.

Reason 1: It would add to the deficit.

Reason 2: Wow South! God must really, really, really be pissed with all of you. There's no frickin way we're gonna piss him off by helping you out.

Hopefully, when the next disaster strikes our region the rest of the country won't be as mean spirited as our congresscritters.

Of course the time to have this discussion is not during a major disaster, but most of what Congress does now is to create its own disasters then congratulate itself on "solving" them at the last minute...that and rename post offices.

"63% of GOP Voters Think Republicans in Congress Out of Touch"

Tuesday, January 15, 2013

Most GOP voters continue to believe that congressional Republicans are out of touch with the party base, while Democrats are happier than ever with how their team is performing in Washington, DC.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 30% of Likely Republican Voters believe Republicans in Congress have done a good job representing their party’s values over the past several years. Sixty-three percent (63%) of GOP voters think congressional Republicans have lost touch with the party’s base throughout the nation.

Will there ever come a time when the South, that I love, isn't trouble? Why must we always be on the losing side of all history? Why must the South aways be drug kicking and screaming into the future....and then we don't stay in the future we slide back like a buttered turd on a hot playground slide?

The silver lining is that the GOP is Whigging itself out of existence. This kind of shit will get half of them voted out in 2014....the rest in 2016 and I only hope I live long enough to wave bye bye to bad Americans acting badly.....always acting badly always wrong...always. Please please keep buttering yourselves up GOPissers so you'll slide right on off the planet......idiots!

The Republican Party: to hell with Robin Hood; it's better to rob from the poor and middle class and give it all to the rich.

Suggestion for you? Go have sex with yourself. You get paid for your stupidity or are you just stupid for no reason?
