Pundits on CNN suggesting Republicans turn convention into a telethon/fundraiser for storm victims

[highplainsdem]

I caught only the end of the discussion, didn't hear who brought it up first.

1. Fine, if they do that they won't be bashing us they will be too busy with this so-called fund raiser

Perhaps the focus will now be global warming which palin doesn't believe is man-made

FYI, Hanna, another storm is already starting to form

[nickyt]

2. Sounds good to me! They could actually do something "helpful" for the

first time in their lives (imagine that!).

3. Oh the republicans have much bigger plans then that.

[Neshanic]

4. They can donate. Bill Bennett will sit in wall gap to stop water, Saxby will donate his ego to

repel looters. Zell Miller will donate "crazy" to push storm away.

5. Would you trust them with your money?

I guarantee you half the money they raise will go directly to John McCain.

6. ......and as many people will watch it as watch Jerry Lewis's telethon.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Epic fail, indeed.

7. What happened to the GOP's belief in "personal responsibility?"

Wouldn't they just be enabling those poor folks instead of allowing them to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and take care of themselves?

:sarcasm:

What a pile of crap.

8. Republicans prayed for rain on Obama's speech...

...and they got a Hurricane raining on their parade. Looks like God answered their prayers, just not the answer they wanted.
