The Flint Water Crisis: An insight into Republicanism.

[francoHFW]

Anyone not filtering drinking water from anywhere is foolish. I don't drink tap water. ANY plumbing is going to have a bunch of crap in it after while. Turn your main off, open a valve to let some air in, close it and turn the main back on and try the water again. Instant soup.

TY, Reaganist GOP, for all the investment keeping infrastructure up to date. lol. ANYTHING to lower taxes on the richest and giant corps, dupes.

I really hope this is a troll post.

You'd be wrong. Try it out.

Even MSNBC Morning Joe this morning admitted that there is plenty of blame to go around.
Dems are not to be excluded from what happened.

Joe Scarborough is an idiot first, and a conservative second.

The only real blame that the Democrats face is having the former Mayor proclaim on TV that the water was safe and then drinking a glass of it. That's probably just ignorance more than anything.

Other than that I honestly cannot find anything else to fault the Democrats in Michigan on.

There is an eerie silence on these boards about the ongoing water scandal in Flint Michigan with good reason. This crisis uncovers a republican tendency to do things that end up being detrimental to their constituents and everyone living near them.

The Snyder administration sparked the chain of events that led to the crisis back in April, 2014 amid a financial downturn. To save money, the decision to switch Flint's water source from Lake Huron to the Flint River was made on the ill fated advise of a state sanctioned emergency manager to Flint.

Noteworthy is the revelation that the Flint River had long had a reputation for being nasty when the state made the switch.. But the burgeoning indifference doesn't stop there. A 2011 study indicated that Flint River water had to be treated with anti- corrosion agents before it could be fit for human consumption. That didn't happen. Therein lies the culpability...the republicans dropped the ball and, either through abject stupidity or indifference, they failed those who put their trust ini them.

There is more. The callousness of these Michigan republicans underlines the inclination of the GOP to put material interests above human interests. Michael Pitt, a member of the law team representing the victims, puts it this way:


"He further lambasted state officials who, he alleged, learned of elevated lead levels in children's blood in 2014 and did nothing."


"They were staring at a public health emergency, and they sat on it for over 10 months," he said, further criticizing leaders who assured residents the water was safe when they knew it wasn't true"..

If what Pitt said is true, there is an element of criminality here.

Although these developments are shocking, I am not surprised by the cold insensitiveness of the Michigan republicans towards the people of Flint. Republicans have been against everything that makes America a better place to live for all classes of Americans. Some of the things republicans have tried to undermine is social security, MEDICARE and, ironically, the EPA. If they had their way there would be NO safety nets and the Great Depression might never have ended. Child labor would still be an ongoing phenomenon.

Given the historical agenda of republicanism...it should be clear that their actions speak louder than their words. If Trump wins, I fear the Flint water crisis gives us a glimpse of things to come. With a GOP congress, and GOP USSC to compliment Trumps in the White House..... be afraid...for nothing you breathe, drink or eat will be safe.

You're a liar. The city mayor and your muslime hero's EPA let this happen:

The EPA’s top Midwest official told The Detroit News the agency knew about the lack of corrosion control in the water supply as early as April, after an EPA official identified problems with the drinking water, but did not make the information public.

The paper also cited email exchanges between EPA officials and Walling showing what it described as a “lack of urgency” over the matter and a greater focus on procedure rather than public safety. Walling and other officials repeatedly told residents the water was safe but blamed state and federal agencies for the problems.

Blame game erupts over Flint’s toxic water, Dems target GOP gov | Fox News


This is the same EPA, run by Hussein's political hacks, that turned the Animas River in Colorado into this:

Yeah, but the city mayor was a democrat. You have to go up and down the list of names until you find a Republican, then you blame everything on that person. The democrats don't actually exist when it comes to things like this.

That "list" was shortened considerably when the Governor put a city manager in as head of the Flint Government. You are right, democrats might as well not have existed during that switch to river water. The Gov. Mgt team made them an offer they couldn't refuse. With Flint facing bankruptcy and depending on state resources for relief...how could they not agree with anything the manager wanted?

 

[Billy000]

Why would they? They're republicans. They don't actually give a shit when another republican fucks up.

Faint GOP interest in Flint’s pain is a mistake, party members say

 

[PredFan]

The black mayor of Flint gets a pass but the white governor is to blame? Typical left wing garbage.

When you fuck over a poor black city you don't blame the mayor. Even Snyder admits its his fault

Lol who said he wasn't to blame? The point is a republican deserves blame so the other Repubs ignore the entire issue.

 

[Wilbur Right]

The black mayor of Flint gets a pass but the white governor is to blame? Typical left wing garbage.

the mayor of Flint, just like the city council, had already been told what they were gonna do by the gov. appointed city manager.

But everbody knows that mayors of struggling cities have much more power and access to resources than the gov of a state.

Right dude?

What is it about republicans that make them encapable of accepting responsibility for their actions. Or lack of same?

Why are rethugs like that?

 

[Iceweasel]

Why would they? They're republicans. They don't actually give a shit when another republican fucks up.

How is that a Republican party issue? Just because you feces mongers try to twist it that way doesn't make it a fact. The truth is it's being dealt with and any guilty people will pay the price, regardless of party affiliation.

Why do you expect people to take you seriously Joey? You're nothing but a bitter hack that needs to blame a political party for your own shortcomings.

Did the mayor know the water could leach lead from the pipes? If so why didn't he speak up? Sounds more like the EPA fucked up.

Wrong, as usual. MDeq signed off on the permit to make the switch.

StFU stupid.

And why the hell you keep talking to Joe. YOU are on the wrong thread you stupid fuck.

 

[Compost]

Yes. Clearly. All republicans should run their swords because of the Flint water debacle.

I don't see how party affiliation has anything to do with how flint was screwed by their own state, local, deq which were all comprised of different parties. It has more to do with how incompetent government and agencies are.

 

[Wilbur Right]

Yes. Clearly. All republicans should run their swords because of the Flint water debacle.

I agree, ALL Republicans should be forced to drink water straight from the Flint river.

Give em a little taste of that good ole river water.

Dont you agree?

All democrats too since they were highly involved in this.
