Bush considering not showing up because of a hurrican? Who are they kidding? If Bush doesn''t show up, it''s because the GOP doesn''t want him there.

Bush: open our 90% full stategic oil reserve for 2-3 weeks for the hurricane! That''s what it should be used for, and not to justify killing brown people! Biden: hammer the cronies on this please.

They better postpone the convention. I think God is going to cause something bad to happen at the Minneapolis-St. Paul convention. Maybe a tornado.
Let us pray.

If there is justice as we watch this Tired Old Man, McSame try as hard as he can to make us all forget about the Complete and Total Failure of him and his Party, this is it!! To have this happen on the THIRD aniversary of Katrina is justice indeed. LOL You can RUN Republican''s but you can''t hide. You can put on doggie and pony shows but you can''t pull the wool over everyone''s eyes. YOU and YOUR party MUST answer for the last 8 years or people will vote against you!! Sieg Heil McSame

If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others. He must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs. - Review of Reviews January 1897 Theodore Roosevelt

It''s nice of you to quote the LAST true LIBERAL the Republican''s ever had but tell me EXACTLY what that has to do with the FAILED Policies of the Bush Administration. WE the PEOPLE through our Representatives made FEMA a reality. WE the PEOPLE fully supported those Representatives and the President who signed that Law. Now we have a Pathetic piece of human trash who just IGNORES the requirements of the law, puts a totally incompetent person in charge and then just fly''s over the massive destruction on his way to have some cake with his Twin McSame. Just what part of that, given your 6th grade education, DON''T you get? Pick up a READING Class and get a COPY of the Constitution!! SIEG HEIL McBUSH

If the Republicans think this bit of phony stagecraft will make people forget their utter ineptitude in New Orleans, how George Bush spends most of his time on vacation, the hack appointments he has made throughout the government based solely on allegiance to George Bush, I got news for them.

It won''t.

And not just about Katrina, either.

They have bungled just about everything they''ve touched, or appear to have, until you realize that everything that Bush-Cheney has done was done with the intent of benefiting the billionaire international corporate elite.

And everyone else can just drown, in their view.

Jesus Nutball James Dobson prays to God for rain on the Convention of the Party of Evil.

God Answers his prayer with a vengeance.

Does Gustav have a chance against these guys !!

Remembering that there''s no reality from
which they cant isolate themselves it''s
a toss up as to Gustav''s ability to
delay the big party.

They can easily isolate from stuff like
war crimes, torture, murdering citizens of
another country, and instigating wars that
tear apart other countries.

so isolating themselves and their believers
from a hurricane for a few hours on one given
night should be easy.

But we''ll see.

Will little repub pinkies be able to tune
into the RNC convention cocoon and observe
masters at their trade and receive their
assurance that all is well?

Gustav bursting this bubble in the night
WOULD be symbolic.

It would indicate that just perhaps
Repubs aren''t larger than the God which
they pretend to believe in.

A guess is the bubble will float !

They''ll delay for two reasons -

1) Get Palin more time to get up to speed

2) Looks bad to be partying as NOLA goes under again.

Heck of a job, Brownie.

If McBush wants to help the people of New Orleans in the wake of Gustav, maybe he could put some of them up in one of his 7 homes!

WELCOME BACK KKKARTER,,,

HUSSEIN TO BRING BACK THE KKKARTER ECONOMY,,,

from the dimmy kar-ter years of double digit unemployment, double digit inflation rate and double digit house mortgage interest rates, car loans were like going to a loan shark

reagan years brought single digit unemployment, single digit inflation and single digit house mortgage rates

vote demonic-rat to reward the deadbeat parasites spendthrifts

vote gop to reward the workers, frugal savers, investers, job creaters

even a dishwasher can become financially independent and secure under capitalism

"Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country." - John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address, Jan. 20, 1961

The first requisite of a good citizen in this Republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his own weight. Theodore Roosevelt

If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others. He must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs. - Review of Reviews January 1897 Theodore Roosevelt

"WHO WOULD VOTE FOR THIS FALSE PROPHET???"

False what? Republicans are just self-fulfilling jokes now. No Obama supporter has ever called him a prophet or messiah. that seems to be the thinking of the opponents. They simply do not "get it"--the anger and rage on the ground that has called for a leader who will change things.

You see, Obama has ALREADY changed things. The election is only a formality. Even if McCain could by some miracle become President, he will be thwarted at every turn and never get away with the crimes of Bush and Reagan. The people have remembered that the governement must be accountable to them by any means necessary.

I''m so looking forward to hearing the speakers at the GOP convention. Gotta get Bush up there, Rove, Rice, Maybe dust of Rumsfeld, Bush Senior and Cheney.

They can all tell us how scared we should be, and how we''ll each have our own terrorist hiding in our closets if we vote for Obama. They can tell us how strong the economy is, how amazing it is that they have kept us safe since 9/11, and how we''ve won a great victory against Al Quaeda.

It''s gonna be a party!
