Opening reservoirs around Houston causing self created flooding?

Who decides that flooding people's homes is a better option than flooding businesses in the downtown area?

The left is probably doing this so they can claim a drought in the future due to global warming. I am sure they will connect this flood to their climate change cult. Gore is prolly saying "I told ya so as we speak." Their is no shame or logic to the length the left will go to magnify and take advantage of a crisis situation. They are beyond sick, vile ideologues bringing about a country's downfall.

@therighttothink50 are you blaming the flooding on the Democrats?

@EuphoricTurtle are using your limited reading comprehension skills to make an idiot out of yourself ?

@EuphoricTurtle my reading is that he is positing a theory that certain people may use this terrible tragedy as political fodder. Inasmuch as it has happened many times before I suspect the gentleman is correct. Your smartass retort is an example of the wrongs in this country. Why don't you head down there and do some volunteer work?

@jackjjackson God forbid we raise questions about governmental officials actions, especially democrats. The technocracy always holds the best interests of the middle class in high regard. Look at how well Hussein Obama took care of us for eight years. :)

@jackjjackson I basically summed up what you labelled as his "theory". Oddly enough he was the one that used this natural disaster to state his political views. By the way the answer to your original question is that the reservoirs were opened in order to prevent uncontrolled flooding as the water level was rising rapidly and will continue to rise as more rainfall is expected. The same way Hoover dam starts discharging water in expectation of surges from snow melt in the Colorado River Basin.

@therighttothink50 You can raise all the questions you want. I just thing that using a natural disaster to make a political point/jab is just in poor taste..

have a nice day!
