every day republicans show us how they don't care about the people

[DarkFury]

Republican Senator Mike Lee from Utah, claims other politicians are “grandstanding,” using the Flint crisis to direct federal funding to their own states and to “federalize” the nation’s water infrastructure. where they keep getting poisoned by their water that republicans created for them

They are grandstanding and using this crisis for personal gain.

Republicans are poisoning the water now?

How do you explain the issue in other States, including Baltimore?

I believe there has been outrage from many who are conservative and Republican.

And before you go off on a right wing rant, I am a Democrat.

You are full of

You might have a leg to stand on if the Republican governor had not switched the water supply from the great lakes to a contaminated river to save money.

A DEMOCRAT appointed by the Republican Gov. had the final call on the switch.

the republicans have been blocking the repairs of the nations water systems for 9 years now ... they are doing it because they didn't want to see the democrats turn around the unemployment to fast ... are you really this stupid??? they have been blocking the highway systems for 9 years now ... same reason, they didn't want to see the democrats turn around the unemployment numbers around too fast ... now that we are sitting at 4.9 they try to tell us Obama did a bad job ??? where you are falling for the BULL SHIT that they are trying to pull??? really ??? so now that you think they are grand standing to get their water systems repaired in their state ... you think thats a bad Idea??? really ??? are you this stupid ... these people are being screwed and you trying to say, well its ok they can deal with it by them selves... because you think its ok because block it because you thing politicians are grandstanding ... you're no democrat that I know

The source of the lead in question usually isn't from the feeder pipes, but the pipes inside people's houses. Most government's don't touch that piping, as it is the property owner's responsibility. At best the local government could offer a tax credit to people for replacing their pipes, but then of course Flint needs its tax income to pay for its pension costs, so this is what happens when blue model cities start running out of money, both current and future.

But no democrat outrage over Obama's EPA knowing full well what was happening and doing nothing? Yeah OK, partisan politics in play

looks like you have been paying attention ... but whats new when it come to the world of republican land... the people who didn't report this to the administration were either fired or forced to resigned ... and before you blame the obama administration if they are't told by anyone then you republics love to blame it on them as if they can read minds ...but thats what republicans do they see a line in the news about the epa in their state who ignored it, so it must be the democrats doing nothing ...

It's simple, don't be pointing fingers at one side while your side's hands are dirty also

the republicans caused this disaster in flint ... the era in flint also was apart of it by not doing their job ... that i pointed out the era isn't a democrat or a republican agency they failed to report this to the obama admistration ... this has been established by the obama administration being transparent as soon as the became aware of this the democrats wrote a bill to help them with their water system and the republicans blocked it so tell me again how both sides of the obama administrate are dirty??? you can't hold some one responsible if you have been told...
thats more then i can say about the snider administration... the flying fickle of fate is pointing right at him who by the way won't show all of his emails in this matter ..

as a person who sweated in many copper lines, yes its a source of contamination too... in this case it wasn't the main source ... from my understanding the amount of led contamination in a home was small enought for government standards ... thats my understanding ... like everything that too will change ...

Oh bullshit Billy. The left wing doesn't have anything to run on do they use trained seals like you to spread bovine fertilizer around. The problem is the leaching of lead from the pipes. I wouldn't want to drink any chemicals that would coat the pipes or prevent lead from leaching. But in your case I think it's too late.

I assure you that I will lay blame where it belongs.

This is a State and local issue and I put that blame mostly at the local level and the Governor is just as guilty.

But to blame Republicans.

I don't buy it!

ok republican, who claims he's a democrat ... go read the god damn news this morning ... it show the republicans blocking the money to repair the water system in Flint ... then come back here and tell us your bull shit statement here how republicans are great people, wonderful human beings... cause they dont want to be held responsible for poisoning women, men, and children ... just because they didn't want to spend money to find out if that was a good Idea ... tell us how great of a Idea it is ... tell us how we are full off bull shit ... we would love to here your stupidity shine here even more ...

1st. They should not be blocking the aid to repair the water system. That I can agree on. It appears the Dems blocked the energy bill as well.

These water systems are the responsibility at a local level. I do not disagree with the aid to repair the system, but who's fault is it that our nation's water systems are in disrepair?

We have the flush tax in Maryland to address this infrastructure and I am all for it. Much has been done to address the decline of the Chesapeake Bay. There is still a problem with the aging sewage systems and the spillover of sewage into the tributaries.
I don't see Republicans as great people and wonderful human beings.

Our representatives need to address this problem immediately just as if it were a natural disaster and at a State and local level address crumbling infrastructure, instead of waiting for a crisis like a bridge collapsing or sewage in the drinking water.

The problem I have is not taking responsibility and throwing blame instead of addressing the crisis.

the problem you have is not taking responsibility and throwing blame ??? man you're ignorant ... lets see here who was it that took the mayer out of his job to run the city of fling who knew about their water system problems??? answer the republican governor ... who was it that stopped the water coming into their city ??? a republican governor... who told to them to change it ... the mayer knew that it was a bad Idea but the republican governor jumped all over this plan they ignored the mayer because the republicans knew better .. the republicans did all of this to flint ... now you're trying to say we don't need to blame someone really ...

what does the energy bill have to do with repairing the water system... its hard to debate with an idiot who like to point out shiny objects ... we know its the state problem, you idiot ... this was a federal bill to help them repair it quickly, nothing more ... now you want to point out a bunch of useless shit???

The funding for the repair was in the energy bill.

I'm making a statement to this fact.

There is no shiny object.

I agreed with you on the federal bill.

You agree with me on it being a State problem and then call me an idiot.

You created a post on "every day republicans!" I called you on it!

You should have used the title "Republican representatives!"

I agree with you 100% on everything else concerning this issue and you call me an idiot!

You are on an emotional roller coaster without brakes!

The lead values were not an issue when the water left the plant, and most larger distribution lines are not copper. The issue is inside houses where the old pipes contain lead solder, and more of an issue in houses that do not use the water frequently.

The issue was the water was not treated with Phosphoric acid to reduce the effects on the lead in the pipes.

Eventually, but that takes time, and even taking off the surface molecules from a pipe that isn't used frequently can lead to elevated lead levels in people, especially children. Reading further though, it seems that some of the local piping and a lot of the house piping contains actual lead pipe, from earlier in the century.

Do you know ALL the details of what he is talking about? No, of course you don't.

Just like when Liberals passed the nearly $1 trillion failed Stimulus Bill that contained over 7,000 pieces of Liberal Politician and Party-serving pork that in the end cost tax payers over $742,000 PER job Obama claimed to have saved. Republicans blew the whistle on that one too, but Libs responded just like this then...until the details came out.

Remember, it was a Liberal who coined the phrase "Never let a crisis go to waste".

Yeah, older lead pipes, I'm sure. I'm doubting the solder thing. I soldered many homes and we don't have any lead prevention chemicals here. people would throw a hissy fit.

Yeah, i think i had a morning brain fart there.

In any event, be it lead pipe in the house, or lead pipe in the street, its Flint's issue, not the Governor's, and Flint has been solidly democratic for decades.
