It is perfectly reasonable to make a partisan attack in this case, since the GOP is ideologically opposed to public services.

No, partisan attacks are by definition NEVER reasonable.

Of course they are.  They serve the purpose of undermining one's enemy.  But in this case jfern is also making a valid criticism, partisanship aside.

Don't you find it interesting that, in a city where the local Democrat machine could coordinate parish-wide bus and van service to thousands of people from the slums to get to polling places miles off, then hand the sheeple "walking around money", for voting for the right crook, could suddenly lose all that organizational skill when it came time for them to actually govern their city?

And that city has been run continuously by the Democratic Party since the 1870s.

But, let's use jfern's example and not score cheap political points off dying people.

It is absurd to expect a city government, burdened with mostly poor citizens and very little tax base, to deal with such a disaster.  The money for such massive responses must come from where all the money is - the owning classes.
