Santorum, Barbara Bush Criticized For Evacuee Comments

I am sorry, but I had to repost these comments by Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and former First Lady Barbara Bush. This blatant racism is unacceptable. Santorum's head is on the block. The good folks of Pennsylvania will wield their political will in 2006 and kick this jackass to the curb.

First he says...

"You have people who don't heed those warnings and then put people at risk as a result of not heeding those warnings. There may be a need to look at tougher penalties on those who decide to ride it out and understand that there are consequences to not leaving."

Notice how he recouped the next day with this statement:

"Obviously most of the people here in this case, an overwhelming majority of people just literally couldn't have gotten out on their own," he said. "Many didn't have cars ... and that really was a failure on the part of local officials in not making transportation available to get people out."

He finally got the GOP/Rove talking points...

Thanks Dana for bringing this up again. We cannot forget the indefensible positions of these radical right-wingers.
