As the Gulf Coast braces for Hurricane Gustav, a Cat. 3 storm, the GOP is milking it for all it is worth. Where would they be if they were not scheduled to have a convention starting tomorrow? Well.. according to McCain, they would continue to not being Americans, since now that the truth is out ... they only act like Americans anyway. There is a big difference in being an American and just acting like one.
"This is a time when we have to do away with our party politics and we have to act as Americans." —Full Story
Bringing more attention to themselves, Both Bush and McCain are sacrificing their convention's party to help the yet unnamed victims with Bush "riding out the storm" in Waco and McCain in Mississippi and the demand by McCain to "pass the hat" for the needy. How rich of him!
This is going to be a photo op for the bigwigs of the GOP who snoozed through Katrina three years ago. Should Hanna or the next storm threaten the US coast, how much coverage by the GOP will we see? If Hanna hits North Carolina as a Cat 2 storm, will their Democrat Governor get this massive GOP aid and help, or will they have to fill out all the paperwork requesting help and then personally beg Bush for FEMA to come and give them a hand?
What a shame that most people will not see what is really going on. Most of the recipients of this aid have been evacuated and most will not have access to TV.
Meanwhile, Barrack has made a couple of statements. After watching TV since 1:00pm today, neither statement has been repeated. It is obvious that the Networks/Cable news outlets are in GOP Convention mode, shutting out the Democrats.
Yep.. a GOP Photo Op. How long before the ad: "McCain was first to respond to the needs of New Orleans rather than tending to his campaign and party. See here as convention participants act like Americans by passing The Bush and McCain's 10-Gallon hat to help the poor, second world country of Louisiana lead by its young GOP governor. See our own Sarah Palin offer the Balloons from our balloon drop that we didn't use, to the victims for something to float on. After all, we are giving all we can to the American People;
'LOOK AT HOW MUCH WE CARE.'
'LOOK HOW WELL WE ACT LIKE AMERICANS!'"
It is enough to make me vomit!
