5. Definitely vote buying
I was in FL on business in early Dec and one man told me that the Bush administration was "excellent" because they made it so easy to get the money after the hurricanes.

He described to me that you just had to go to one of the FEMA makeshift offices and fill out a very simple form and they handed you a loaded credit card (his was for $1500 dollars) with no restrictions on spending. He wasn't required to provide any tangible proof of loss or anything else. This made the Bushies heroic in his eyes.

They definitely purchased Bush votes with our tax dollars. Daddy Bush was harmed in his race against Clinton in 92 when people in Florida didn't think Daddy Bush responded quickly enough to a hurricane down there. Jr just figured he could use the opportunity to buy the votes.

Scum is what they are.
