The GOP convention and Isaac

[peggy]

It was under Bush that the Gulf was abandoned. However, I haven't seen much action from the D's either. Nonetheless, the current GOP does not represent working folks IMHO. I used to have respect for the the GOP. The leadership needs to see suffering first hand, maybe experience it themselves for a change.

I agree with you. Considering their draconian platform...for the poor, sick and elderly that is, they could use a time of living off welfare, no health care or maybe just a voucher for health insurance (but only when they are 80 with bad hips, heart, knees, teeth, etc... and unable to work)
But, at least we can all take comfort in the knowledge that the wealthy, Romney first, will not have to live under their oh so oppressive tax burden! Yeah, we're taking care of them first! Then if there is anything left over... but, there probably won't be.

I suppose the poor women can just use that magic internal spermicide we apparently possess (to utilize during 'legitimate' rape) and just not have kids. That'll save some money, won't it.

Don't ya just love the republican platform! I can't wait until next week to see what wonderful things they have planned for us!

Maybe next time?

LOL who knows? Rob

I do agree it is wasted potential - I would be thrilled for the GOP leadership to experience the suffering and fear from a major hurricane. Karma maybe?

Gotta be a little careful, Rob. The whacky karma sword has double edges...

Maybe you have a point.....I'm sure not the entity in charge of doling out karma if any indeed is.....Rob

All I'm sure of is that if Isaac style karma whacked a couple hundred GOP leaders who were temporarily hunkered down in Tampa it would also whack a half a million or so worker bees who make Tampa home. And some of them are Democrats! It might be better to just put up a yard sign.

Pfffftt!! Anyone who'd let a little collateral damage ruin their blood lust is not worthy of their progressive bona fides!

I'm not wishing a hurricane on anyone. There are a lot of wonderful people who'll be in Tampa for the convention....people committed to making America better, albeit with their own vision of how that looks. Mine might differ, but I love the freedom we have to each put our own spin on that, frustrating though it might be at times for everybody.

What a logistical nightmare for event planners, though. Yeeeeeeesh.

Yes. Wrathful winds seems fairly non-specific for a hate fantasy. Wouldn't the time be better spent conjuring up food poisoning or a roof collapse?

And people wonder why the political environment is so toxic.

History will bear them out.
