Yet another lesson in what should be a simple truth -- if one must wish ill of one's political foes, leave the weather out of it.
August 11, 2008 , Focus on the Family posted a video on its Web site that asked people to pray for "rain of biblical proportions" during Barack Obama's Aug. 28 appearance at Invesco Field at Mile High to accept the Democratic nomination for president. (As it turned out, the Rocky Mountain evening could not have been lovelier.)
Now, as Hurricane Gustav threatens to disrupt the proceedings of the Republican National Convention,
divine intervention at work?

Absolutely! I hear God hates people who use his name, their religion, and the words family and morals to control others and make them do nasty things.
I am not at all worried about Sandy hearing God. What Shrub talks to him and is told to send troops to war, and no one else should be allowed to talk and or hear? Besides I would much rather have Sandy in office than Shrub any day. Just to make sure Sandy have you ever been under investigation by the SEC for suspected insider trading because after being asked to investigate what would happen to the average stock holder if the company you worked for folded you then immediately sold ALL your stock in the company, only days prior to it tanking, and then failing to file the proper paperwork with the SEC while you father was either the Vice President or President? Did you ever join an elite unit of the Texas Air National Guard during Vietnam that everyone knew that no one in that unit would never have to be deployed to fight in Vietname, score the minimal test for qualifying for flight school and jump some twenty odd names over others all with higher scores who had been waiting longer? And while serving in that unit did you allow them to use your picture for their drug free campaign all the while heavily drinking, smoking marijuana, and snorting cocain, and then ask to take time off to help with your dad's campaign, told no and then fail to show up anyhow?
Ok I vote for Sandy ....even if the answers are yes I vote for Sandy
Now, for the sad news. I was never a cheerleader or beauty contestant.
I hope you will still vote for me.

I think asking for rain and being grateful for a hurricane is widely different.
BMI always makes me think of the Body Mass Index. I wonder if they investigate people.
Maybe you should look up BMI. There just might be something you don't know.
Hate (n): a POV that I don't like
You still get my vote. I was never a cheerleader either or a beauty contestant, but I won first place in the science fair. Oh crap that would disqualify me for the whole science thing I know they hate that kind of stuff. Hey I know you get into office, I will vote for you early and often. And then you can sneak me in under the radar as an appointed position. Let's see I am not a doctor ...women's health care issues...nah I am a woman totally disqualifies me, attorney general....no law degree, but I have threatened to take people to small claims court over dry cleaning issues so surely that counts, I was lucky enough to go to several foreign countries on several cruises, maybe Secretary of State, my hubby was in the Navy for a couple of years....Sec. of Defense...oh just put me on the Supreme Court. If Clarence Thomas comes up once and tells me to guess what is on under his robe that might make another opening for you to fill. His not mine, I will be the law so now charges ok.
Although I would take glee in any folley upon them at this point I would not relish in harm to anyone.
Which brings up a question. If a presidential candidate were to say die prior to the election what would happen? And no I am not planning anything , nor will I be, but just wondering. Does Sandy get an automatice pass to the Oval Office then?

It sounds like "Happy Days"
Focus on the Family Action, is really a tax exempt hate group. This is an issue we really need to work on after the election.
Okay (((shudders!!!))) I KNOW in my heart of hearts that Dobson et.al. are not what they seem to be...or that they are MORE (covert) than they seem or need to be.
Miss you, and I'm still hampered by a dead cpu in the howse!
Miss ya'all...just had to connect for a moment, at least!
Keep on keepin on Sandy (and company)
Miss ya'all.

(pause a moment, to ponder on the WHY? for non believers, Or True-Believers...)
The reason we keep religion from politics, is to protect BOTH entities...
"Given the wide diversity of opinion on Christian theological matters in the newly independent American States, the Constitutional Convention believed a government sanctioned (established) religion would disrupt rather than bind the newly formed union together. George Washington wrote in 1790 to the country's first Jewish congregation, the Touro Synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island to state:
All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship. It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it were by the indulgence of one class of people, that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights. For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all occasions their effectual support.[5]:

On a slightly different note, with all of the taxpayer money expended on the GOP convention, I hope they don't "cancel" because of Gustav. They could donate funds to help in the relief effort, but this has also caused disruption of local economy which would be hit hard, hotels / airlines / etc would miss out on funds from reservations (which they discounted in the first place), and other pieces. I would also hate to see a "we are holier than you are" come out -- play it low key guys, formally announce your candidate, and lets get on with the circus.
Here's a 10 for you
...but this is getting ridiculous!
