Reply #8: The same kinds of things that everyone is saying about Bush [View All]

The difference is that the media would focus all of their opinions and attitudes and talk show segments around his failure more than any other aspect of the situation. They certainly wouldn't be expressing their palpable desire to hear the merest wisp of admitting a mistake, in the broadest context possilbe, so that they could just completely put the issue to rest and return to revering their Republican masters.

With a Dem they'd never let up, just like after Clinton apologized formally, repeatedly and profusely for a private indescretion that was nobody's business, they never looked up to respect the man who 'admitted his mistakes'. They held him in permanent contempt for nothing.

In short, the loss of a major city to forseeable natural disaster under a Dem would have brought an unending media frenzy replete with calls for multiple investigations and hearings led by the opposing party that would be assured to last for years of media and Republican rancor. With Republicans, thousands of deaths due to lies like Iraq and negligence like 9/11 and FEMA are washed away with 'there were many mistakes made'. Try that if you're a Dem.
