So will the Rethug coastal politicians

[malaise]

head for the convention or stay home.

[tekisui]

1. It looks like chimpy and mcpow are heading to the coast to stand on some

rubble.

Mcpow may accept the nomination from a disaster zone. For real.

[malaise]

3. LOL

:rofl:

Why the hell is he going to the coast? Maybe he's sharing out contracts to the cronies before the storm this time.


correct :

[SoCalDem]

8. Will they be wearing matching blue checkered shirts..sleeves rolled up?

I bet Sarah has some blue flannel hunting sirts she could bring:)

[Solly Mack]

2. I would be helping my constituents.. but then I'm not a compassionate conservative

Staying in the home state...trying to make sure people have what they need...trying to help as best I could...doing what I could...even if it was just being there, in state

[malaise]

4. I hope they know that they are being watched

very closely.

[Solly Mack]

5. They know. That's why all the early announcements on preparations

trying to erase Katrina from memory

and they'll spin and exploit...

and I'm just so sick at my tummy about it all...

The only reason the RNC would even consider postponing the convention is because of the news coverage...but the spin is concern.

Putting the possibility out there to see how it floats with people....

[malaise]

6. Katrina will never go away

I doubt they'll postpone.

[Solly Mack]

10. True...it never will...but they'll try and spin it away.

I can't see them postponing it either.

[malaise]

11. They can't spin that one

Katrina is etched in people's brains and not just American people. The world watched in shock.

CSpan this morning had a section asking whether the Rethugs should postpone the convention.

Drill, drill drill won't sound too good this week.
One caller said Gustav is NEAR and the election is NEAR -Never Elect Another Republican!!

[Solly Mack]

13. NEAR...love it!! That's a good one

[SoCalDem]

7. They will all be on TV, bragging about how WELL they handled things

and be reminding us all how badly the democRAT governor handled everything last time..

but they will leave out the part where the REPUBLICAN, president stiffed her at every turn and renegged on help he promised

[malaise]

9. I'm taking bets that this will be another

clusterfuck.

[tannybogus]

12. Say they did a "heckuva job." nt

[KharmaTrain]

14. Many Were Taking A Pass Anyway...

It sure is taking boooshie off the hook. My only hope is that the storm heads toward his chicken ranch and dumps all over him.

Many candidates are seeing a different storm headed their way...an electoral tsunami and want to stay as far away from this gathering as possible. Many have been told they are on their own...what upside is there for them to show? Most are gonna be running away from Commander Huff'nPuff...not wanting a photo op with him.

Cheers...

15. Breaking - Rick Perry won't attend the convention

Bobby Jindal won't attend the convention. The Rethugs are scared shitless.
Three years later a hurricane has come home to roost on those evil people who led NOLA drown.

They will not postpone the convention according to Steve whoever on GEMSNBC. They may turn the convention hall into a relief center.

[malaise]

16. Bush not attending the convention either

Things fall apart - the centre cannot hold.

[KharmaTrain]

17. They Can't Cancel...

There's too much money involved here...watching the Mayor of St. Paul, you can see there's a lot of pressure from the city and state to make sure this show goes on. Millions in hotel and "entertainment" dollars along with all the expenses by the corporate media...and you know how Repugnicans are with money...they would rather lose wars than money.

Yesterday, Jindal looked like Bambi in the headlights...maybe he'll try to exorcize the storm away. It'll be interesting how he handles this situation because his political life depends on it.

So no Bob Perry? Richard Scaiffe? Morton Blackwell? It just won't be a party without them :sarcasm:

So when do we start printing the "God Hates Repugnicans" bumper stickers? :rofl:

[malaise]

18. That bumper sticker must have Dobson in there

Dobsons prayed for rain to wash out the Democratic Party Convention and the US gets two hurricanes.

Who would have 'thunk'!!
