GOP strongholds in AL, LA & MS refuse federal aid after hurricane damages region

Because they know that federal tax money only goes to lazy terrorist-lovin', America-hatin' Blue State Democrats and certainly not Red State-by-a-landslide, "no federal taxes and no federal handouts allowed" Republicans. Down the line, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana have held firm and formally rejected federal taxpayer money. I am just so proud that they have all stood firm in their convictions about federal money and that they refused all handouts. What a proud day for all solid Republicans in the south for taking this position. Thank goodness there was no "unseemly scramble" for federal money like those folks of NYC who experienced a little problem on 9/11 and then requested federal aid.
