repug Katrina cover-up

54 GOP Senators who hate America

54 Republican US Senators (there are 55 GOP Republicans in the Senate, but the the Louisiana GOP Senator didn't vote) voted against establishing an independent 9/11-style commission to find out what the hell went wrong with the Hurricane Katrine relief effort. 76% of Americans, including 64% of all Republicans, want such a commission established, but every single GOP Senator (save LA) said no. They'd rather we not know what went wrong. They'd rather America be unprepared for a horrendous Al Qaeda chemical, biological, or nuclear attack on one of our cities.

And, as added ammunition, check out the percentage of Americans who WANTS this commission established:

The survey found that 76 percent of the public favors an investigation of federal storm response efforts by an independent commission similar to the one that probed the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The proposal drew strong bipartisan support: 64 percent of all Republicans and 83 percent of Democrats favored creating the independent panel.
