-That's pretty silly. The failure of the government to do anything in New -Orleans is as much a Democrat problem as a Republican. Throw in the -inaction of Democrats on the war and you have a situation where more and -more people will be pissed at the government.

Folks in states other than Louisiana can't vote against the local Dems in LA. They can. however, vote against the national Republicans who cut spending on emergency preparedness and levee reinforcement.

And the ones who sent the national guard overseas.

Or the ones who repealed Davis-Bacon for the emergency zone so that Halliburton et all can pay cut-rate wages and bolster their profits off the reconstruction money.

And to repeat-- two-thirds of Dems in the House voted against authorization for the war.

But keep spinning that there's no difference between the parties. You sound a lot like Bush playing the same old record. Most of the population isn't buying it from you or Bush.
