FEMA: Largest Response Ever?

The media keeps telling us that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is conducting its largest response ever to the latest Florida hurricane, "even larger than 9/11".

What they never do is ask why? This hurricane did less damage than many others in relatively recent history and one questions why it would need to mount a larger effort than 9/11.

The only possible answer to this is because of Bush's desire for the Florida vote. Remember? Alabamans and Louisianans in the wake of the previous hurricane said they got NO attention and help. They're not swing states.

In other words, the country will foot any bill that serves Bush's purpose. This isn't about helping people. This is about helping Bush-Cheney 2004. If Florida wasn't a swing state and the president's porcine brother were not governor, Bush would let it fall into the ocean.
