republicans and flint
 
“This is an amoral display of political apathy by Republican leaders. Their failure to run to the crisis, roll up their sleeves and pitch in tells the world that we are still the same old Republicans who only care about those who would vote for or contribute to them,” said Alex Castellanos, a political operative who is not working for any of the Republican presidential contenders.

What say yea republicans, maybe its President Obama's fault.

Well, now that you mention it, the EPA can take some credit on this. And the EPA is Obama's favorite, so you can decide how you wish to look at it. Of course, it is NEVER a liberal's problem.

Maybe I have this wrong, but wasn't the decision to poison the folks of Flint a republican one, the governor's cronies did it with his knowledge.

Was it? Or is this just a liberal fantasy?

Remember that the EPA head for that area resigned ,do you think they knew what was going on. Could that be considered criminal intend.Prison time maybe. In this case what does it matter (Hillary comment) . A horse of a different color does not mean it is republican or democrat. I really dont think that there are two parties anymore only in name. But it's a dam shame the people in Flint have gotten screwed by a governmental organization and no one wants to cough up the money to fix it.

What we know for sure and won't discuss is the fact that people, men/women make good and some make bad decisions or no decisions. The easiest ones to make are when considering right from wrong.

The more difficult and unfortunately more frequent decision making is conducted based on politics, special interests, one's career, risk or reward....just about anything other than right or wrong.

Using the current example of what was done or not done and when in Flint was all done by people...men or women....and obviously for the wrong reasons....they ignored right or wrong.

And the oh by the way is what was the political affiliation of these men and women? Were they R or D. Then from there spin it all as if the decisions were made because of the party at the time.

Most warm blooded, breathing, thinking people know the political participation had nothing to do with the decisions made. An after thought that was spun to suit the political points trying to be made or not.

Ya see, when we all take our clothes off we are men and women....there is no defining R or D.

So for all of you beating your chest making Flint sound like it was some republican decision.....it was not....it was the people.......your partisan story is just another made up fable to facilitate a narrow minded political need. Adding no value added what so ever.

In short...POLITICAL BS!!

The EPA was created in 1970. Makes it Nixon's favorite.

Another failure of our highly inefficient political system be it R or D. And some wonder why the increasing following to non-politicians?

True BUT, the EPA is one of Obama's favorite radical tools that everyone else wants to get rid of. This is not the first time within the past year for the EPA to have been involved in a problem that they should have handled more appropriately. It seems like in the past two terms, this administration has done almost everything they attempted in a half-@ss manner. Just saying. Maybe if this administrator could concentrate on just one agenda, he could achieve something successfully......other than dividing the country racially. He did succeed in that.

Dear Guest: I most certainly agree with your assessment. Both parties play the game each taking their turn at good cop bad cop.

I am sick of the lot of them and I am sick of paying them full time wages when the only work three days a week on the average. And why is they all seem to retire much richer than when they went in? As to the Flint water problem there is plenty of blame to go around both as to party and as to state and federal governments. Sometimes, metaphorically speaking, I think we would be better off to burn the place down and start over again.

Personal Best Regards:

"the EPA is one of Obama's favorite radical tools that everyone else wants to get rid of." If you are referring to everyone as people that have their heads so far up their asses that nothing in the environment can affect them, you hit the nail right on the head.

The change in water supply was a costing cutting matter designed to save the cash strapped city of Flint millions. Instead, it is going to cost the state, and federal government millions, and children are going to suffer. Which party is always on the kick to save money?

The EPA screwed up. So, you want to get rid of them. What the hell do you think would happen nationwide, if you got rid of the EPA, and environmental regulations. You don't think that companies would do the same thing that the Flint city regulator did? Let's cut costs to hell with the environment. Our bottom line is more important that peoples' health.

You are right about that racial thing. Obama told the EPA to back off, so blacks could play the race card ,and be right in doing so. We know that everything that Obama does is meant to bring down this country, and the best way to do that is start a race war.

Yes, get rid of the EPA. We will put everyone on the honor system, brilliant idea.
