Let's see if I remember all of the deflections here.

Residents should have known better to drink the water. Pennsylvania water has lead in it. Lead in paint is bad also. Go buy bottled water and quit whining.

I think that was it.[/quote]

how about quit living in flint?

Do you mean Snyder's emergency manager he put in place and all the failures surround that? If so, you get a gold star. Like a Star @ heaven

Yes, you can include the shitty job the local government did as well over the years.

It still amuses me that after 84 years of Democrat rule in Flint this is all the Republicans fault. You could add Flint to this chart:

You're better than that, Goose. The Democrat city council had no part in the plan to change the water. You can blame them for the state of the city if you want (you'd be wrong, but you can make that point) but not for the water situation.

They and all the mayors and councils that preceded them had a hand in getting the city to the Emergency manager which led to the water issue, that entire history can't be ignored or dismissed.

Couldn't we technically blame their parents, teachers and religious leaders for not raising them properly?

Thats the question Wags...how can we get the black community to stop having 80% of their children out of wedlock and how can we get them to value education?

I know how, its just that it would never be able to be implemented because Dems rely on giving away free stuff for votes.

Maybe this will end up helping kids nationwide.

While a harsh national spotlight focuses on the drinking water crisis in Flint, Mich., a USA TODAY NETWORK investigation has identified almost 2,000 additional water systems spanning all 50 states where testing has shown excessive levels of lead contamination over the past four years.

The water systems, which reported lead levels exceeding Environmental Protection Agency standards, collectively supply water to 6 million people. About 350 of those systems provide drinking water to schools or day cares. The USA TODAY NETWORK investigation also found at least 180 of the water systems failed to notify consumers about the high lead levels as federal rules require.

Many of the highest reported lead levels were found at schools and day cares. A water sample at a Maine elementary school was 42 times higher than the EPA limit of 15 parts per billion, while a Pennsylvania preschool was 14 times higher, records show. At an elementary school in Ithaca, N.Y., one sample tested this year at a stunning 5,000 ppb of lead, the EPA’s threshold for “hazardous waste.”

Flint water is low in calories and it helps wash down a meal that lays heavy in your stomach. I like mine with a twist.

remember.. Governor Snyder cannot be held responsible for what goes on in his state, but Hillary Clinton has blood on her hands for what happened to those four brave Americans in Benghazi.
