"I'm talking ‘umbrella-ain't-going-to-help-you rain," the former pastor and television meteorologist said.
85,000 showed up. It was a nice day. It did not rain.
With Hurricane Gustav bearing down on the Gulf Coast, Republicans have canceled all but the bare minimum requirements for Monday's session of their convention, as GOP presidential candidate John McCain called on delegates to turn their attention to people likely to be displaced
KARMA'S A BITCH!
No, democrats did not pray for rain. They don't think they control Mother Nature. Nobody wishes people to lose their homes and/or lives. Hurricanes happen. Rain happens. Since it was going to happen anyway, how fitting it occurs in the midst of their gathering.
As a result there won't be no Bush/Cheney. That's good Karma if they can save Tuesday to Thursday. For now, they have to save face because of Katrina and hope people forget.
Au contraire!
All this does is remind people of Katrina and the democrats will make sure people remember Katrina.

Yes, let us all be reminded of Katrina and how state democrats botched the situation. Compare it to Bobby Jindal taking charge during Gustav.

All I heard Obama say was "I'll fire anyone who goes after children" and that he was activating his vast ntwork of people to help with hurricane preparation and assitance. When did he snip at Palin?

Who said 17 year olds shouldn't have sex? Is Sarah Palin Democrat? She is the one that preaches abstinence isn't she? Shame her daughter wasn't listening. If her own daughter won't listen to her, why should we expect all of ours to listen if she is VP?
Who said she should have an abortion or the same about her mother? I don't remember seeing that anywhere. Don are you still in touch with Carol the D? Cite your sources Donny boy?
The "moonbats" (whatever that is) aren't imploding they ae ROTFLTAO as McCain/Rovian/GWB Cult shoots itself in the foot. And I thought Cheney was the only one that shot his own friends!!

Kay, did I miss something? Where is it that Alan said anyone was happy about the hurricane hitting the coast?
I don't see anyone here pretending to play God, that is GWB's (God put me here for the purpose of destroying evil) Job!! Well guess what on 1/19/09 his mission to destroy evil will really be "mission accomplished", he destroyed the whole Republican party in 8 years time! Maybe he is right and God did put him there to destroy evil. He jut didn't realize that he is part of the evil he destroyed!!
