Default Re: Mad? Write to Congress

[ QUOTE ]
Anyone else see the irony in Republicans being mad that the FEDERAL government didn't immediately take over a state issue?

First, there is a difference between Republican and Federalist. Republilcans are not always for state's rights - it depends on the issue.

Seecond, it was a national disaster. Why are some people calling this a state issue? Do you not realize how important the New Orleans port is to the national economy? Ddo you not realize that the displaced persons cannot all just stay within the state of LA? Ridiculous.
