Louisiana Liberals Mugged By Reality

An interesting post here at NOLA Looks As If McCain Were President

Now I disagree that McCain had a "let them eat cake" attitude. Still what did they expect.

It is going to dawn one day as to Louisiana Conservatives and liberals that no one really gives a damn in other parts of the country about the long term problems here.

Conservatives concerned about Energy? Well you got to have a coast with people to live on to do that

Liberals concerned about the environment (NO DRILLING IN ALASKA) yet the biggest environmental crisis this nation faces ignored by them largely.

Just keep sending the food and the oil please and keep the Nations Highway the Mississippi River open!!! One day people in both parties hopefully will learn to leverage their primary votes and as a whole their electoral votes in the general to get the support we need. Till then we are taken for granted.

Update-

I very much disagree that Bush did nothing. He could not snap his hand and make NOLA like it was pre Katrina.. He did not do enough( No President or Congress has) as to the problem of Coastal erosion that effects New Orleans and the entire Coast. That is the problem!!!! New Orleans will be lost anyway if that is not taken care of.

Still the overarching theme of this piece is correct. Liberal dems in Chicago don't want tax dollars going to Louisiana. They want them to to Chicago. Conservatives in North Carolina don't want to spend money on protecting the energy infrastructure in Louisiana. They want attention in their district. The sad fact is despite providing a great deal to the nation we don't have the population to give us clout in Congress. That is a bi Parisian problem for us

Update II-

What about the Columbia Free Trade Accord- How is that going!!! That would be a huge boost to New Orleans. Not going anywhere
