Bishop Hedd Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I find it really ironic that a potentially lethal storm is on path to hit New Orleans (let's hope it doesn't) almost exactly three years after Katrina, while the republicons hold their convention. If it does hit NOLA hard you might as well turn the lights out for the GOP this election. http://www.wjla.com/news/stories/0808/548514.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop Hedd Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 Only if they don't postpone the convention. Whatever happens this could have more of an impact on the election than anything before. Imagine what this could do to oil prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede316 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Then it helps McCain...He's for offshore drilling...and would prove his point. We seem to only have rigs in the gulf which is prone to hurricanes. Alaska, California and the east coast of Florida are much less prone to hurricanes.

olivier in france Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 the east coast of Florida are much less prone to hurricanes. !!!!! Sure like the Sahara is more humid than the Gobi desert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede316 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Ok maybe the East Coast of FLA was a bad example...Still most Florida hurricanes occur in the Gulf of Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Hedd Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 I'm still having difficulty figuring out how this helps McCain and the republicons, even with all the recent revisionism with Bush/Katrina going on here lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacka Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Sorry to disappoint you, but I nave read reports that they will cut out the frivolity, might have some of the speeches taped so that the speakers can help out, and ask for donations during the convention. Lets see if the lame stream media mentions how much better prepared this governor is than the previous one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could get ugly with these two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 The east coast of FL is still soaked from the several feet of rain they got before. I think things are still flooded in a lot of places there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think things are still flooded in a lot of places there. Yeah and the rain continues. Were getting hit by the bands from gustav today. HEAVY winds are coming through as well. I was just watching my car rock from side to side and I'm in freakin' West Palm! It's all calm at the moment but we can't take too much more rain w/out flooding setting in so here's hoping that Hanna stays away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets see if the lame stream media mentions how much better prepared this governor is than the previous one. If Jindal and LA isn't far, far, far more prepared than last time the he should be impeached immediately. The Bush Administration failed miserably last time. Can't be any worse this time around. Hell, if the Bush people show up it'll be an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
