Is Nagin a republican in sheep's clothing
According to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Nagin
Before his election, Nagin was a member of the Republican Party and had little political experience; he was a vice president and general manager at Cox Communications, a cable communications company and subsidiary of Cox Enterprises. Nagin did give donations periodically to candidates, namely President George W. Bush and former Republican U.S. Representative Billy Tauzin in 1999 and 2000, as well as to Democratic U.S. Senators John Breaux and J. Bennett Johnston earlier in the decade

1. If he was, I think he may have just been shaken violently
to his senses due to all this.

5. I thought he was still a Republican.
I don't care what he is, he's telling the truth.

6. If he contributed to Bush and not to Kerry ....
he's a "Bush supporter"... regardless of what his technical party affiliation may be.

12. I know a few people who contributed to Bush, but now...

Truth dawns on people at different rates...

15. He endorsed Kerry in the last Presidential election.
Reluctantly, if you ask me, but he did endorse him.

18. Whiny assholes who think party affiliation is more important than charact
Martin Luther King, Jr - "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

17. So what's your beef about Nagin, he got Bush off his ass!
now he has to get rid of Brown and Chertoff and bring in real help, like he said, he got that "John Wayne dude" from Bush which he's greatful for but Brown is as handy as a handle on a piss-pot!
