Why don't people realize that Democrats are to blame for these wildfires in California!!?

Question

Democrats have been in charge of the California state legislature for the past 8 or so years, and yet they have done nothing to prevent the current catastrophe. Everyone told them that this situation was coming around and they did NOTHING (too busy voting for gay marriage which was Vetoed THANK GOD). Democrats do not care if people lose their homes (as they have no concept of private property and their lack of action has been SHAMEFUL.

Democrats also have been responsible for blocking any sort of logging, which would have been helpful in blocking the spread of these fires.Hope this will influence California and the rest of the nation to go for the Republicans for the 2008 presidential election.

Answer 1

Fires are not political -- and anyone taking the opportunity of a natural disaster to play political games should be ashamed of themselves. There is nothing political about hundreds of thousands of people being driven from their homes.

As for the ludicrous suggestion that any one political party is to blame -- every area of the country has it's own type of natural disasters -- and fires have been part of the southern California reality for decades -- long before any given political party got control.

And logging has nothing to do with it -- if you look at a map, the national forests where the logging issues occurred are hundreds of miles north of where the main fires are.

Try doing some research before you make statements that are blatantly wrong -- and try having a little compassion for the people whose lives are being devastated in this tragedy. Anyone who uses this as a political stunt to attack others should be ashamed of themselves.

Answer 2

By the cons own arguements and logic, the Democrats are not to blame. Its the right-wing people who live in the affected area that are to blame--and no one else:

To explain:2 years ago when Katrina hit New Orleans, the cons siad it was the people's fault for living in an area prone to flooding, and that they had no business expecting the government to take care of them by building and maintaining levees--anddidn't deserve any disaster aid at taxpayers expense.

So--by the same logic, the cons have no call blaming the government because they lived in an area prone to wildfires. They have no right to expect the government to do anything to protect them, and this tragedy is their own falult. They are obviously a bunch of shiftless, lazy moochers off the taxpayer and shouldn't be allowed one penny of taxpayer money since they are obviously unempoyed bums who never pay any taxes.

Answer 3

I think you need a nice vacation.......in a padded room. Did you know that Democrats were also single-handedly responsible for Katrina, The San Fran Earthquake, The Chicago Fire, The Harlem Race Riots, and the Salem Witch trials?

Oh....sarcasm......hahah

Answer 4

Because they're not to blame? I'm very, very conservative, and I don't blame the Dems.

Plants grow through the Spring, dry up through the Summer and burn in the Fall. It's nature. We Southern Californians sometimes forget we live in a desert.

Answer 5

Before the Cedar fires, four years ago, the former Governor plead with President Bush for assistance with dealing with the fire danger in California.
Bush ignored him.

Answer 6

I blame the psycho path who started it all. Yeah you have good points, but no one can stop a pyro maniac. So blaming the Democrats is useless at this point.

Answer 7

The environmentalists have stopped people from clearing dead brush out of the forest. If you have a bunch of dead and dry wood sitting around in a fire prone area, you can't be surprised by the results.

Answer 8

Maybe or they built in places that were ill advised

Answer 9

They're not. Is the terminator letting you down?

Answer 10

oh dear god.....
