| Is this widespread? Do Democrats use everything for political advantage? Is this any longer the party of compassion?
Here are some of the headlines:

I believe he started the hurricane.

I find it disheartening that, in a time of great tragedy such as this, with thousands dead and hundreds of thousands homeless and displaced, there are people who, fortunate enough to not be affected by what's happened, attempt to use this for political gain.
This should be a time for helping, not criticizing.
Thanks for hearing my brief rant.

Luna!
Have been wondering where you were. Haven't seen you for a while. Glad to have you back and commenting.
I guess I see the government as never being a solution to problems we as people should take responsibility for. But if you're truly looking for perspective, visit:

"Snipet" (pronounced: snipe - it) is not a word.It is a derivative of two words: "Snipe" and "Snippet".
Miriam Webster defines Snipe as: to aim a carping or snide attack, or: to shoot at exposed individuals (as of an enemy's forces) from a usually concealed point of vantage.
Miriam Webster defines Snippet as: : a small part, piece, or thing; especially : a brief quotable passage.
In short, "Snipets" are brief, snide shots at exposed situations from a concealed vantage point.
WARNING! With due reverence to the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment there is NO comment policy on the News Snipet.
