Updated 7:10 p.m. - TAMPA, Fla. -- Republicans announced Saturday that they had effectively canceled the first day of their convention for safety concerns associated with an impending hurricane.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement that "the Republican National Convention will convene on Monday August 27th and immediately recess until Tuesday afternoon, August 28th."
That move essentially postpones the activities of the first of four scheduled days of the convention. But Priebus said in a conference call with reporters that the details of the revised schedule were not yet settled, and could be announced as soon as Sunday.
"The Republican National Convention is going to take place. We know that we will officially nominate Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan," he said.
Romney will now be formally nominated as the Republican Party's presidential candidate on Tuesday instead of Monday, said Russ Schriefer, a senior strategist for the Romney campaign.
"Right now, we expect that the roll call will just take place on Tuesday," he said.
Convention organizers had pushed ahead with the gathering as planned for much of the week, even as it seemed, for some time, that Isaac was on a direct trajectory toward Tampa.
Simultaneously, the Obama campaign said that a bracketing trip by Vice President Joe Biden to Tampa -- which they had postponed -- would officially be canceled.
The impending hurricane aside, Republicans already did some last-minute reshuffling for their convention order, moving Ann Romney's speech to Tuesday from Monday because major television networks hadn't planned to broadcast the first night of the convention.
Following that change, the main speakers on Monday had been set to be South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
Schriefer also dismissed worries that the constrained schedule would hamper the GOP's ability to drive its message in this key swing state.
"Even though the time of the convention will be abbreviated...we will absolutely be able to get our message out," he said.
Bill Harris, the convention's president and CEO, said the convention organizers "will continue providing updates in the hours and days ahead."


To all of you in the storm's path, stay safe.
New Day - You beat me! Great to cya btw. :)
But I AM torn here - I do not want anyone to get hurt, but I do want the GOP to be blown out of existence. What to do??? I so wish they could just be blown out of the face of the Earth painlessly and humanely - and never come back!
How long does it take to say, "I guarantee you that we will screw you." 1 day of lying SOB's should be enough for you right wing nut to get your jollies off.
I so feel like saying: Hurricane Isaac, how can I help? I am in Seattle though, but maybe I can send some money to the God SuperPAC or something, I do want to help to guide your hand!
Now the party of family values can hit the bars, clubs, and massage parlors.
I guess Mother Nature got a cue from broadcast networks that weren't covering it anyway.
This means whose prayers were answered???
Sorry, AnotherNewVoter! Good to see you too!
I keep wondering (with apologies to those affected by this storm) if Pat Robertson will be saying that the storm is the fault of those EVIL Republicans!
Nah. That might make him appear too bi partisan.
Yeah, that's the ticket, hate and hate somemore and then cringe and whine when anyone says anything negative about your very special little party. If your comments are indicative of the 'liberal' aka: democrat mindset then perhaps you need to rethink the definition of liberal because you are anything but. Small minded and hateful the new definition of liberal?
Nay there are those already saying it's Obama and the devils fault. If it was the Dems convention it would be GOD"S work. But since it the repubs its the devil, don't ya know also
I don't want anyone to be hurt by the hurricane- but if Mitt and Queen Ann (tionette) were trapped in the convention center for a few days, waiting their turn for overflowing toilets, a la Superdome, they might learn something- that would be a GOOD thing.
Interesting how they suddenly find a belief in God. As a general rule most democrats and liberals bask in the glory of atheism. As to Ann Romney, guess breast cancer and MS aren't sufficient to teach anyone a touch of compassion? Back to hating...
Talk about snake bit.
Agreed, New Day, but good thinking. What I wonder now is whether Michelle Bachmann will convene an investigation into who in the White House aided God to sabotage the RNC. Besides the President, that is. Can't wait to see that memo!
mygirl1: "If your comments are indicative of the 'liberal' aka: democrat mindset"
@mygirl1, "democrat" is a noun, not an adjective. The adjective form of the word is "Democratic." Is there something about being a Republican that makes a person have bad grammar? Perhaps you, George W. Bush and Dan Quayle can take an English class together.
One less day of the sucking sound coming from Tampa by the Republicans. Stay safe !
Shows just how much God believes in Republicans and they're concern for the welfare of the American People. The desire to help the poor (get poorer) the desire to help the middle class(become poor) for women to move forward ( into servitude) Yes god watches over these freaks of nature
Why don't they all just pray for perfect weather?
Well, you all just laugh and carry on and forget about the other people in danger as a result of this storm. They don't count, they're 'collateral damage' to you all? Pathetic.
Rick: you got the drift, if the best you can offer is 'grammar' lessons, perhaps you should get a job as a proofreader, somewhere outside of the internet, might help pay the bills.
And here I was hoping they'ed be blown out to sea, never to be heard of again.
Aha, that's only because Monday wasn't getting national coverage.
Maybe God is expressing His opinion of 'trickle-down' economics.
Nobody on the face of this planet should be penalized by something as horrific as a hurricane because of their political beliefs. This country needs to get back on track with civilized debates and solutions for our common good. I have friends that live in Tampa and hope and pray for their safety. All of you that are making a hurricane "political," need to step back and think about your homes, families, and loved ones prior to wishing ill on anyone else.
Obama/Biden 2012
Jealousy is a terrible thing, I really feel sorry for all you liberal socialists...
Hey!
When you invite the nation's biggest blow-hards, why be surprised when Mother Nature decides to send one of her representatives.
@mygirl1 - we heard you the first time, really. You don't have to repeat yourself over and over. We know you don't believe us to have found God all of a sudden - and you are right, we have not.
We are just f-ing with you ppls on the Right, that's all. You know, making jokes at your expense.
I do feel bad about that too, it's like making fun of a baby - or worse. But it's best that we laugh at you, than, like, fight with you and wish all the bad things happen to you! That'd be really cruel, and bleeding heart liberals can't do that. So , really, the only weapon we have- is making fun of you - hope you understand!
Nothing personal, as always, just your politics.
Peace, ANV
Question for the I-wear-my-religion-on-my-sleeve party: God's plan?
Ah, AnotherNewVoter, our friend Michelle Bachmann. You would think that she has something to say about all of this.
Representative Danny Davis already made inane comments about the hurricane. I guess he's your side's version of Mr. Robertson.
CHICAGO – Representative Danny Davis commented on Tropical Storm Isaac heading for the GOP convention, saying, “Well, it means that the gods are favoring Democrats. Not that we wish any kind of difficulty in terms of the weather. But you know you take the bitter with the sweet. And if you can get a little sweetness without manufacturing it, that’s pretty good.”
Nice, huh?
The good news is that a bunch of birthers were going to be "speaking" that day. There a second hurricane on the same path. Keep your fingers crossed. Poetic justice for deniers of Global Warming and Frackers, that don't care a crap about the environment.
Question for the I-wear-my-welfare-check-on-my-sleeve party: Got a job?
What a tool
The problem with this woman is that he does not know how to stop
yellingtalking asinine things.Really now? This is a general rule? It's true that democrats believe that rape is rape, and that a progressive tax code is more fair than a regressive one. And that affordable healthcare, food for the hungry, shelter for the homeless, and helping our veterans should be national priorities. And that reasonable gun controls are common sense, and that government can and should invest in scientific research and education. etc. etc. But what does that have to do with atheism?
Speaking of education, you make a fine case study for why we need to invest more in it.
It never fails, folks: The Republican that thinks that EVERYBODY that is not a Republican on these vines is on welfare and is not looking for a job.
The stereotype is getting O L D.
Thank you all kindly for your hypocritical expressions of bigotry, hate, intolerance and so on and so forth.
It's just Lovely : P
mygirl1, I for one will be waiting for your comments in the days leading up to and the days of the democrat's convention. We all know you will be commenting. I wish for the best and safety for all the people and visitors in the path of the storm. Stay safe!
Over before it started
I'm watching the 1980 Republican National Convention on C-SPAN right now and I only have one question: Why was Reagan using a tele-prompter?
big winds and foul weather! i thought biden wasnt going to florida.
Folks, how can you be so blind? This is a "teaching moment" for the Republican party.
While I truly hope that there is no loss of life and minimal property damage as the storm passes Florida, all the delegates will eagerly dig into their pockets to "Take Care of Our Own" with the money they'd allocated to cocktials and titty bars. Yes! They'll pass the hat. Everything will be just fine.
And the Romney/Ryan ticket have 0% of the black vote. Good job convincing blacks that they are the solution to all the problems!!!!
When the going gets rough...they're like rats on a sinking ship...LOL.
Yes, New Day, you know what I mean :) She is the person known for asserting God's Punishing Hand when a hurricane blows (remember Irene and Michelle's blabbering related to it?) AND she's good at "going after them", ala "who aided the Mooslem Brotherhood in Egypt" kinda thing. Put 2 and 2 together, and you get the logical conclusion of "Michelle Bachmann demand to investigate who aided Hurricane Isaac to be the God's Punishing Hand during the RNC" - right?
God sends a storm down to give a warning to those without common sense.
They don't need a convention. This country knows loud and clear exactly what their message is.
My family is here in the bullseye of this probable hurricane. All day today you had to wait in line to get gas and supplies. Every store is packed with people buying water, canned food etc. If Isaac knocks our power out for days it's hard to deal with the heat etc. and no showers. You just don't know when to get in your car and leave town either. It's a crap shoot when the hurricane/storm enters the warm waters of the Gulf which way it will go for sure. If you do try to leave the highways are at a stand still.
Where is Pat Robertson proclaiming that this hurricane is God's retribution for Republican sins?
Not that bright are ya Lib?
You didn't catch that my post was a retort to an equally asinine post by a flaming loonbat...It was to show that it doesn't matter which side of the aisle you hail from, stereotypes are usually bogus fails and akin to "crying uncle at a mental challenge"
Now grow up and pull the lever for Romney in November!
Oh! I am SOOOO touched! The GOP concerned about OTHER PEOPLE! Sure! because most of them will be Republicans attending the convention. I did not see a lot of Republican politicians going to New Orleans during Kathrina. ESPECIALLY BUSH!!!!!!
Always blind in one eye, and not looking very good with the other.
Oh I will. I usually go to the bathroom in the mornings!
Candice-
At least he didn't claim that God was punishing the Republicans for their evil ways. Or to give it a more New-Agey lefty liberal spin, could it be that the bad weather is Mitt Romney's Bad Karma for his nonstop lying or for his pandering to birthers?
Or perhaps there's a more rational explanation. Maybe it's just the result of the Republicans' stupid decision to have their convention in one of the MOST hurricane-prone states at the HEIGHT of the hurricane season, just because Florida is a battleground state.
The first day of convention cancelled?
Those GOP supporters from the Wall Street immediately check into a psychiatric institution, ............ and .......... they want to have some (fore)closure.
What is this? A forum for liberal hate mongers?? Sure looks like it.
Nobody seems to have the slightest regards of other people being put in danger. This site is disgusting. But then, what else is new?
RepubliCan't..
No we still Can't.
The party of NO, even NO first day of convention?
prisons, you were doing so well before your 2nd point of order then you were totally blinded with hatred and lies.
You get schooled and THAT'S your best retort?!??!
You don't even make this fun. Like Rush says, "I could do this with half my brain tied behind my back!"
Idiots
Best post I've read in awhile. Thanks!
Setting aside the theological issue of whether or not God takes an interest in the sideshow that is the American political process... who were the rocket scientists who decided to hold a convention in Florida during hurricane season?
Not that the most of the Atlantic Coast isn't a little dicey this time of year, but are these the people we really want planning the future of our already disorderly nation?
Ha nice avitar Mygirl, it's a nice pic of where most of what you post cames from.
Hey prisons are full.... Reagan gave the illegals amnesty and opened the floodgates. don't blame that one on Obama. Fairness in lending was way before Obama too and that is not what caused the collapse, greed and deregulation did. Watch something besides Fox. If you committed a crime you don't get to stay in the country according to Obamas plan. The giant Iraq embassy was built under Bush. Get some facts
You see! Republicans can't do ANYTHING right. Had they held a full session on Monday all of the hot air they would have created would have forced Isaac to turn and head strait for Texas and up through drought country. :-(
See, you just can't trust em!
prisonsarefull you will like this i live in new hampshire. after katrina several families from the ninth ward were relocated to nh now as you can guess they are black, been in the system for a long time. the next part of the story they now have jobs the kids are in good schools and they are active in the community. some have even bought homes. what the hell! so once again ill ask the same ? you did. what the hell have the dems done for the african american community not a damn thing except empty promises to get the vote. people wake the heck up!
Nature says 'NO' to the Party of 'NO' (PON)?
It's a sign?
juli925, we will wait for all the haters on your side coming out during our convention. Can't wait for the debates. Only thing wrong with debates are they are only a long list of 5 second sound bites.
The category 4 blowhards will be inside the convention center.
Dems - Love thy neighbor.
Cons - Screw thy neighbor.
God - Screw thy con convention.
I am a Republican?
4 years ago, we got John McCain;
last year, there was Herman Cain,
And now, GOP-in-a-hurry, hurriCane?
I know we're all making fun at the Republicans. But it is a serious matter to those of you in its path. Be safe and best of luck to everyone that will be hit.
Because they know they must win FL. Also it's a boon to Gov. Scott. All political, no sense. Republican mantra
There's still one force these politicians can't bring to it's knees; the force of nature. They can propose, but mother nature still has a way to make her presence known, however powerful these politicians feel they are :p
Oh, and Mitt, as big and powerful as Baine was, when the hurricane comes your way, run... It won't be intimidated by a balance sheet, and a little cleaver accounting, and re-direction of funds... :p
Repubs are hurting..with all the citizens United money they thought they good buy good weather during the convention from Mother Nature. Repubs have War on Women policies , and Mother Nature is simply saying ...NO!
Obama/Biden 2012
Even God hates Republicans.
zz i can clearly see how much the dems love thy neighbor by all the hate they spew on here. you can disagree with someone with out all the nasty hateful comments

The stereotype is getting O L D.
It may be getting old, the truth hurts doesnt it? Well I have news for you, so does Socialism, it hurts everyone! By the way, I thought that you Liberals do not believe in God? So why are you all praying?
Should we consult an astrologist?
The hirricane is a sign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a sign for what, the good, the bad, the ugly?
prisons iwas agreeing i didnt say you said anything bad.
fhill,
the a lot of bitterness above for sure....
I believe that everything works out for the best, no matter what. It's an unfortunate weather pattern. How come this is the only natural disaster, that I've ever heard of, that people are openly blaming God for? If that's the case, maybe we should all think about past weather related disasters. Just Sayin'
Not even a hurricane will stop us from nominating the next President and Vice President of the United States of America in Tampa.
Finally we'll be able to rid ourselves of the scourge trespassing in our White House. The junior senator has proven what many of us knew from the beginning. An incompetent, inexperienced, community organizer is not who we need in command of our great Republic.
It's time to move on to an experienced American who understands both the public sector and the private sector. The private sector must once more be unleashed from the bonds of our criminal government and be allowed to create commerce. This imaginary leadership by Barrack Hussein is an embarrassment to the greatest nation in history.
Our government must be returned to what the genius of our Framer's and Founder's intended it to be. Then and only then will the private sector be allowed to flourish and recreate our wealth, prosperity and standard of living.
Four years of class warfare and indecision is not what we needed. These lost years just keep multiplying the amount of austerity we will be forced to endure in order to correct a century of Liberalism/Progressivism and the dysfunctional notion that Keynesianism works.
The true free-market, without the weight of all this government regulation and irrational taxation, must be allowed to bring industries back to our soil. We will never create the economy we are used to with this ridiculous consumption/service sector hybrid.
Barrack Hussein and Joseph Robinette must go. Incompetence and ignorance is not going to fix our problems.
Romney/Ryan 2012 for real Americans
Gotta love the libs, when all else fails, gang up like a pack of dogs and attack. Pretty typical of the mindset. Oh, and insult away, the lone voice going against the mob (pack ) mentality always gets singled out for attack. I realized going into this thread what the reaction would be and by golly, I wasn't disappointed. Arf, arf. bow wow little doggies or would baaa be more apt?
Forrest: When all else fails attack a photo? That is really sad.
IT MAY BE, BUT THE GOP HAS HAD many HATE MONGERS FORUMS. Every "DEBATE" FOR THE "Presidential hopeful" was s marathon to see who said more hateful things about President Obama.
But the Republicans never see that. They are ONLY concerned with their own skin and how thin it is.
Houston,
Wishing devastation and damage on anyone, regardless of their politics is reprehensible. Finding joy and glee in a hurricane - for what ever reason - is despicable. All of this is very sad.
Those of us who believe in God should pray for the posters on First Read today. Those of us who believe in Karma should be very scared.
If hurricanes ... blow, job .... still yet to be done?
First of all, we may not believe in YOUR GOD that is cruel, and is only for the rich and the powerful. The palaces of the Mormon Church, and the palaces of the Baptist church are never open to the HOMELESS.
Also, if you do not know that most of the people in welfare live in the RED STATES, and are NOT BLACK, you do know now. So stop posting that Democrats are the ones on Welfare.
Melissa-1175724-1762238
The same "rocket scientists" that deny global warming. Apparently, they deny hurricane season, too. As for having sympathy for the victims of this storms, I'll save most of mine for the people of Haiti, whose miserable living conditions since the earthquake two years ago have been made more miserable by this storm. The death toll is at least three people, there. I suggest all the rightwingers bemoaning the liberal snarkiness about the storm hitting the GOP convention should donate to UNICEF or one of the other organizations that's been assisting the people of Haiti since the quake.
Killing Vince Foster? You all had the chance to impeach Clinton, why didn't you convict him for murder if this is true? LIE
Lax immigration policy? He deported more illegals than Bush did in his full 8 years. Another lie you pass
What 5 crimes did so many who were brought here as young children and babies commit? Would you rather we load them all up on buses and ship all 11 to 13 million or more back? Perhaps we should be cracking down on the businesses, even those in the building trades you complained about. At the very least, collect taxes from them to pay for the social give-aways you complain about.
I believe it was Bush who started the 16000 man AND woman embassy in Iraq. That is another of your lies. There is a time line to pull out of Afghanistan. Perhaps you don't realize it, but that was a Bush war. We must not leave a huge vacuum there, but I am afraid there is no good way out, so I will almost agree with you an that one. $400M for Palestinians to buy mortars? Source please.
Oh, about Clinton and 9/11... the Clinton administration warned the Bush administration about the attack, approximate times and methods. Bush ignored it OR let it happen. I just added the let it happen part as a retort for you calling Clinton a murderer. I don't believe Bush knew what, who, why , when or where the attack was going to happen because he just ignored the warnings even from his security adviser. I don't believe he just let it happen in other words.
You are confusing us with the people that attended the REPUBLICAN DEBATES. THOSE people were acting like a PACK OF ANGRY RABID DOGS, NOT US.
Candice-
Then put your money where your mouth is and donate to one of the Haitian relief funds. I have.
GOP sticks to its dogMa,
Mitt the Vulture wants to hurt your grandMa,
Ryan launches mediScare,
Hurricane is the karMa
Houston,
I have, Houston. Hopefully we won't need to hold fundraisers for folks in Florida, North Carolina or any of the coastal states this season.

Very well stated. I love my FR poster friends and like their views, but to take something as threatening as a hurricane and make light of it? Seriously!!! It behooves all of us to work for the common good rather than becoming the third grade bully and calling names and seeing if we can make the snarkiest post.
Obama/Biden 2012
Obviously the Republicans that comment on MSNBC are all Millionaires and Billionaires who have never had to rely on any kind of government assistance and would never accept even if offered.
And yet the vast majority of states that receive more in federal funds than they pay in federal taxes are states that traditionally vote Republican.
Browsing through all of the hate and intolerance here, it reminded me of going to a concert. You know when they have all of the outhouses lined up and a line formed in front of each one...
You "think..." you are the party of "tolerance...."
: P aaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaahhhahahahahaaHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAHAAHAAAHAAHAAAaaa
O.K. Thank You Kindly for the good laugh
Have a nice day all
People's response on this page only shows how desperate the liberals have become. Scared people generally overreact hence the ^^ comments.
OMG, Jim Spence, you really believe that crap don't you? Strange.
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a NRA man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
All the righties saying everybody's wrong
Young and old people speaking their minds
Getting voter suppression laws in the behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH!
NICE JOB starsailing!!! That's what it's worth.
VERY NICE JOB!!!
mygirl,
You must have missed the comments posted yesterday when it was announced that Vice President Biden decided to cancel or postpone his trip to Fl. respecting the wishes of those responsible for the safety and welfare of the people of Tampa.
I'm not condoning either side but this wringing of the hands and flapping of the lip in protest should not be so one sided.
As always, the needs and interests of average citizens are the LAST considered. This statement tells the American people all they need to know about Republican Party priorities.
Ha, get a grip Mygirl "the lone voice going against the mob" you are a poster on a political blog not a comic book superhero.
You wonder why I might poke a little fun (that was no attack) at your avatar as being a source of your comment material.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!
ANOTHER TROLLING FAIL BY MOVEON.ORG!
Plane flying banner over Romney/Ryan rally in Ohio: "AMERICA IS BETTER THEN BIRTHERISM."
“Then” instead of “Than”
Proof again of the illiterate Libbies trying so hard to keep Barrack Hussein in office. Even as they don’t realize that our criminal government run public education system doesn’t work.
http://twitchy.com/2012/08/25/trolling-fail-moveon-flies-america-is-better-then-birtherism-banner-in-o-i-h-o/

Whatta bunch of weak sisters Reince Priebus and the RNC are!
They know their "convention" will blow a lot more than Isaac; they just don't want anyone to notice the difference!
[...the lone voice going against the mob (pack ) mentality...]
BAHHHHHHHWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Ok, now that was funny.
Uh, mygirl...you are hardly a "lone voice"...you happen to be surrounded by other ignorant posters that lack the same critical thinking skills as you do.
Just ask Jim Spence.
Pssssstttt, all those people mentioned ARE average citizens.
Only you limp-wristed Libbies put your elected officials on a pedestal.
Romney/Ryan 2012 for real Americans
Because God hates Republicans
Epic Fail. Liberals hating while flying the flag of tolerance... : P Gotta Love it!!!
Actually it would be great for them not to cancel the first day, A perfect setup for all the socialist protesters outside to be drowned and never to cause another problem. While they stay dry and safe inside plenty of trash can be swept out to sea.
The GOP Convention is so PATHETIC. They think that they can win the favor of women by calling a pavillion after the "WIFE OF ADELSON" Can they get more asinine? Also, the only people that they are celebrating, are the Koch brothers and POPE. THEY ARE KISSING THE FEET OF THE BIG DONORS.
Forget about loyal Republicans. Bush WAS NOT INVITED. Cheney was NOT INVITED. Palin Was NOT INVITED. The Lobbysts are paying for this dumb a***s Convention, and they are "warming"the hand of Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan and all the corrupt as****es in the Republican Congress.
HYPOCRITE$$$$$$$$
And just think about that for a minute. They are "really" going to look after the middle class once they are in power, after they are not even paying attention to Jhon McCain, that was endorsing that dumba**s Romney.....PFFFTTTT!!!!!!!
Welcome to BACKSTABBING BY THE GOP!!! They are getting ready to do that to all the people that vote for them.
God does not hate anyone or anything, not even hate itself, which by the way, you embody.
[Only you limp-wristed Libbies put your elected officials on a pedestal.]
That's why you end every incoherent rant with:
[Romney/Ryan 2012 for real Americans]
According to you, that pedestal is looking good for Ryan/Romney, though...
Looks like you may have caught a case of "the gay" from posting here, Jim...best run off to Fox Nation and The Blaze for your daily dose of ideological and emotional conservatism!
And we thought God did not have a sense of humour.
Dear Candy:
Is there an empirical difference between noting the presence of the storm, commenting on the irony of it all, versus saying that it is a visitation of God's displeasure like your buddy Pat Robertson does?
Now. Think very very hard, I KNOW you can Candy!
AnotherNewVoter: you will be happy to learn that Bachmann is in some difficulty with her race against Jim Graves, a REAL LIVE businessman, who does not find unions to be an anathema to his business. She still has a slight lead. I swear, that area of MN is where all the right wing nut jobs go to live. It is an embarrassment to the rest of us.
Someone said "Yeah, that's the ticket, hate and hate somemore and then cringe and whine when anyone says anything negative about your very special little party. If your comments are indicative of the 'liberal' aka: democrat mindset then perhaps you need to rethink the definition of liberal because you are anything but. Small minded and hateful the new definition of liberal?"
LOL you sound a little hateful yourself. oh the irony
Really... your name is right, you ARE a PIG!!!
I have never seen someone act like you FOWL people EVER!!!
If you think you are tolerant, than you have your head in your @$$!!!
YOU are the WORST group of people on the INTERNET!!!
I have seen TROLLS on YOUTUBE that acted BETTER than you!
Go away, the only voter suppression that exist in the US is when you are too STUPID too realize what day it is!
JimSpence,
Everything I've read from you contains extremely derogatory and insulting comments. The way you "present" your views, it seems you have put yourself on a pedestal.
The party claiming the horrible "divisiveness" from the left is represented by so many like you personally, are guilty of behaviors blatantly divisive. To insinuate that those with a different position on the issues we, as a country, face are not "real Americans" is an insult.
Difference of opinion and the civil conversations that take place addressing those differences is what made this country what it is. Your inability, and those like you to remain civil, will be it's downfall.
To paraphrase Mark Twain "It's better to appear uninformed than to quote Fox News and remove all doubt".
Cancel them all and do the world a favor.
The upcoming weather event in Florida will not be a hurricane!!
It's merely God flushing the waste out of Tampa Bay.
Um, Florida, Hurricane Season.....ummmmm, this is not news to anyone, right? No one told the GOP they had to set their convention there. Surely someone researched the typical weather for the area when planning, right? If God really wanted all these fools dead, it would have been an earthquake out of the blue, not a well publicized storm, in a well known hurricane zone, during the storm season, right? I think this just shows that the GOP is incapable of competent planning.
I just hope they'll all remember to carry plenty of "condoms" and use 'em. Everyone already has all the various forms of VD they can handle.
"Proof again of the illiterate Libbies trying so hard to keep Barrack Hussein in office."
No stupid it shows that ONE person can't make a sign and what's with using Obama's middle name as though its some sigh of evil? To me it only shows that you are a bigot that judges people by there name and most likely their color or ethnicity.
By the way smart guy Libbies isn't even a word.
prisons you should have your head checked. all the things you bitch about happened under republican't admins. holy @!$%# man. how can you be that backwards???
After reading so many hate filled posts wishing harm to fellow Americans, one thought comes to mind....the age and IQ of those posters are probably close to the same number....somewhere between 20 and 30.
@ORB 1943 and gcooper8 and all the other comedians... So I guess using your theory in an attempt at comedy we know why Katrina did so much damage. Mother Nature sent her representative to New Orleans to clean up a real sh*thole community with high crime and welfare. Hurricanes can be good for the country I guess in many ways.
Jimspence,
"Proof again of the illiterate" if illiteracy is such a problem for you, why have you not railed against the abomination in #1-118? "I have never seen someone act like you FOWL people EVER!!!"
Unless, of course, there are people here dancing like ducks.

Judging by how you express yourself on-line, I'm guessing you're 12 years old. Am I right?

Love your comment! Brilliant!!!!!
(Your others are great, too.)
The stereotype is getting O L D.
The difference being that at least they don't wave a flag against stereotyping and then do it.
Look at all the people here wishing Republicans dead...... Really....?
All of you that think this funny and that God has something to do with the hurricane .... seriously .... are you just happy for making the snarkiest post and wondering how may people think you are funny? Get a stinking grip and stop it! It doesn't matter what party ... what matters are lives and homes and children ... and a hurricane bearing down on Tampa is NOT something to make light of.
Take all of your angst and anger and go VOTE!
Obama/Biden 201
Hahahahaha! Oh, wait she's serious!
Are you kidding me? Look at the posts here! You must be new here! How many posts of "conservatives" are hate-filled, obnoxious, insulting, and downright STUPID comments? Please, please think before you post!
@JimSpence
You use that phrase in at least half of your posts. And that's one of your more polite slurs. You really do communicate like a child. Make that a shrill, ill-mannered and bigoted child.
By the way, "Libbies" is not a word.
As far as I am concerned they can CANCEL both the Republican and Dumocratic conventions as neither party has a decent candidate. Our current president is a racist pig that is running the Caucasian people and our economy into the ground (and of course their is Mrs. Planet of the Apes face) and Mitt well don't know enough about him. HOW DO YOU KNOW A POLITICIAN IS LYING HIS MOUTH IS OPEN an old joke but still true. I do know I will watch neither convention, would rather watch paint dry!!
Who didn't see this coming? They need to go ahead and cancel the whole thing. Then they need to reschedule it with some really hard hitters like Voight, Norris, Christie, Ryan, Limbaugh, Hannity, and Trump.
Romney/Ryan 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Con-science... That is the liberal way and from what I have seen low income white liberals are the worst to deal with. Say something at all negative or disagree with their stance on something and they call you a racist and hope you die. I argue with white liberal trash everyday at work. Snobby republicans are fun to piss off as well but the poor white boys always get upset the easiest. I am so glad I get to meet a lot of hard working Americans who just want to see things implemented that might work regardless of party.
Keep working America and just maybe things will get figured out.
thinkstraight-306257
From reading your 1.136 "comment," it kinda sounds like the bigot crying "racist pig."
Wow, post after post is so full of evil. I mean pure evil. Pure intolerance. Ok so you don't like the GOP. I don't like them either. But for 99% of you to come on here and demonstrate such low class behavior... Is that what you want the world to become? A world of people like you?
What does it say about your character if you cannot demonstrate respect? You act like 50% of this country are like Hitlers deserving of the most vile rhetoric.
You guys are acting like children, completely hijacked by your emotions that you not only cannot see how rude and obnoxious you are, but any time someone tries to point it out, your only option is to aggressively and violently attack and quiet them. And/or you toss out vast generalizations and regurgitated propaganda as justification for your behavior.
I sincerely hope that the majority of people who post on these blogs are just the extremists and do not represent the majority of people in this country. But I dunno. We get the government we deserve and we deserve the government that we get. And that's why we keep getting progressives like Bush and Obama.
Maybe society has fallen off the cliff and we cannot do any better. All I know is that 99% of you are too hate-filled and disrespectful to be considered genuine people of character.
Don't stop with Monday. You republican'ts are on a roll. You real people can just go shopping and spend your millions or billions. That is how real you are!
It's a shame about the convention. But we really need the rain. I'll be OK.
To all those in the line of this hurricane, please stay safe, even you repugs. However in the words of your beloved Michelle Bachman "this might be God sending a message"
Vinny Saltine,
What do YOU call subsidies? How about places like Wal-Mart that make somewhere between 25-40% of their profits off of food stamps? Or banks that make billions a year, yes, I said BILLIONS, off of the EBT cards? They make HUGE profits off of government assistance, and then most of those companies that make those profits, pay their employees such measly amounts, that many of them have to be on government assistance, themselves. It spirals out of control.
Bottom line, if companies bothered to pay their employees livable wages, their bottom line would drop even further, because they make too much money off of welfare.
And there goes any pretense you might have had of being an adult.
It's interesting how it works. Republicans have no problem calling people who disagree with them names, but really get in a high huff when they receive a tenth of the criticism.
Now, I don't really believe in name-calling, but I haven't really seen anything by liberals that is anywhere near being called "an enemy of America" and "someone looking for handouts."
It sounds like the big wind arrived before it scheduled to start. Oh well, the attendees will have time to hit the strip clubs first. Perhaps they can "dial a date" and practice family values.
Aren't they thwarting the Will of God by cancelling the first day of the convention?
That doesn't seem very "republican".
This is god warning Republicans about their greed.
This is the magic sky god of the republicans telling them that they should not have this meeting,,, BAWWAHH my 86 year old Mom is ROFL and we don't allow her on the internet as it would stop working, taking her to Barnes and Noble for a nook lesson Sunday
This is God warning republicans? Please, this is a hurricane, if you think the weather cares about political affiliations then you really need to get a life. Judging from the 'intelligent' comments here, seems kindergarten let out early, amazing that such little children have access to keyboards. Not a little kid? Well, the schoolyard mentality and 'wit' are indications that just because you grow older doesn't mean you actually grow up. Not surprising the majority vote democrat on this thread, intelligence is lacking.
Cancelled? WTF? Couple-o-faigs try to get married? That scares the @!$%# outta the thugs....
Oh no, gads angry with the thugs.
I can't help but chuckle a little. The republicans can't win for losing. First, they're stuck with a candidate that no one can really get behind because he's so secretive about his policies and his past, flip flops from hour to hour and no one really knows what he stands for. Then, instead of courting the independent and moderate voters, Romney chooses an extreme running mate in Ryan - and there's barely a bump in the polls. Then, Akin goes off-script and reveals the true motivations of the republican party - and alienates women. And now, the weather won't even cooperate! Face it, repugs: You're on a sinking ship. Better jump off now while you still can.

Setting aside the theological issue of whether or not God takes an interest in the sideshow that is the American political process... who were the rocket scientists who decided to hold a convention in Florida during hurricane season?
.........I have to admit, that's a very poignant observation, I would suppose that after they selected the site, they proclaimed "Mission Accomplished"..

Prisons are full of Democrat criminals
I never name called, or any of the evil things you libs are saying. Democrats seem to be the new party of hate.

This is God warning republicans? Please, this is a hurricane
..................You really don't get it, that these snipers are just jerking your chain, and you are making it easy for them? Of course these people know God isn't behind this, with the possible exception of Pat Robertson. In some circles, people would say that is pathetic.
My Girl--
HOw dare you assert that because I am a democrat I AM AN ATHIEST
HOW DARE YOU?
GOD IS NOT FOR YOU TO USE AS A WEAPON OF ATTACK AGAINST OTHERS
JOHN 3:16: For God so loved the world that he gaveth his only begotten son so that WHOSOEVER beleiveth in his shall not perish but have everlasting life.
Note it reads WHOSOVER not Whosover Republican, Whosover Democrat...but just simply whosoever. Perhaps before you begin stating who is and who is not a Christian, you should try to understand what being one really means...and you won't find that in what passes for organized religion in this country.
The message is love, tolerance, understanding and forgiveness...and those are a good creed to live by for anyone regardless of their personal beliefs.
Republicans don't believe in global warMing or even climate change, and mather nature sends the party a warNing and crashes their party.
What an irony. Mother Nature means business and also is potently funny.
Ha ha ha...
Glad to see the Republitards cancel this, could somebody stick a corndog up their asses on the way out? That'll shut em up for a while...dirtbags
They don't need to cancel it. Hell a politician on either side can out blow a Hurricane. It's sort of sickening in a way how people on both sides always yelling we're right! No,we're right! Dems always saying Repubs are evil. Guess what? I've read some vile @!$%# from you people on here to. Really from what i've read you all are at the fore front of evil.
Prisons are full of- You had a real good post going until you missed George. Made it one sided then.
Starsailing- I hope they sue your ass off for changing the lyrics to a classic and using for a political ad.
Cimarronrose- I'd like to be there with them in that case.
JimSpence- Guess that's why Repubs keep bringing up that sack of @!$%# reagan at every turn.
Con-science- He hates sin. All forms of it.
I'll just stop here.
ROTFLMAO!!!!
I see the limp-wristed, knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing, uni-brow, illiterate Liberals/Progressives are out with their typical rage, hate, anger, racism, mysoginistic, vitriolic blatherings.
Nothing pleases me more than to watch as their begindergarten brains start to explode as they see their boy-toys campaign collapsing.
I can see my work here is done.
I usually find debating Liberals/Progressives similar to shadow boxing.
After 15 minutes two undeniable truths emerge.
1. I'm tired.
2. I always win.
With that I'll leave all you little Libbies to live with the horror of your mistake in 2008.
Remember, there is time for redemption for trying not to be racist by voting for Barrack Hussein. But you really exposed your ignorance when you allowed him to drag Joe Robinette Biden behind him.
Romney/Biden 2012 for real Americans
1.137 hungrymongoose: Great way to fire up the base----for Democrats! Just let them hear that line up and they'd be checking their voter registration immediately. I know, because whenever I hear or see one of those people/tawdry morally bankrupt "info"-tainers, I feel a frisson of fear and revulsion and donate some more moolah to the DNC. And I'm definitely voting even though I live in a secure Blue State, just to swell the numbers of the popular vote, to elect local democrats, and to keep my karmic slate clear.
I'm sorry for the people of the Tampa region, and I hope they all stay safe.
heap big war chief........satire?...try looking the word up!
You have any idea that these are political songs.......?....Would you rather that I had written a Dakota battle song for you....I am great with those too...as a matter of fact...an expert.
OK doky...Over the earth I am coming...Over the earth I am coming.....
Obama/Biden for Patriots, women, students, working middle class and Seniors in 2012. Conventions are a show, a circus that does not win an election. Were are the jobs? Show us your tax returns, prove you can do a better job than President Obama when you were Governor or head of Bain Capital. The GOP is anti-Labor, Anti-abortion and anti-social and you want us to LOVE YOU?
There's no question about climate change.
Crops are clearly not evolved to withstand the extremely erratic weather happening all over the Earth.
If this condition worsens and leads to massive famine and unrest here, we will see just how much we all have in common ...
Why, even the ones who believe themselves to be more highly evolved than the "idiots" who make up the "knuckle dragging, three-toothed, backwards, racist, homophobic, heartless, bigoted and intolerant groups" they stereotype and demonize, would find the "thin veneer of civilization" they cloak themselves in, peeled away by the situation...
At this time, it is this writer's pleasure to kindly thank the participants for providing a fascinating study in mob mentality. The evidence, what lawyers call the "best evidence" is irrefutable:
Rod Serling would surely be able to create an excellent Twilight Zone episode with the social situation as we presently find it. To witness human beings, modern cosmopolitan people, who believe themselves to be enlightened.... wishing huge numbers of people "into the cornfield" is intriguing indeed. It's Just the kind of prime-evil, base emotion behavior that Mr. Serling enjoyed portraying on his show.
One would have imagined that by this point in our history, especially in this country, that these things could not occur, yet we see examples of it on a daily basis. The reader is therefore cordially invited to begin living up to the values he or she supposedly espouses and make the world a better place.
All My Best
Dear "mygirl1" who taught you this ?
What person or persons brought you to believe this? fox news? limbaugh? Hanity and coulter? Yes. this is the brainwashing we tell you about year after year. have you no ability to think for yourself? What right have you to label me as what I am not? this is to your shame and the shame of those like you, but most of all to the shame of people who told you this and made u believe this.
Apparently Mr. Binkie and I were the only ones actually following the news today. 'Isaac' is just a convenient cover story. The storm is expected to be at best a level 1 hurricane as it crosses the Keys and skirts the west coast of lower Florida. Possible interrupton of service to Tampa International airport, on Tuesday.
But the real story is that NBC, CBS and ABC all decided to skip covering the first day of the convention. Which forced a huge reshuffle of speakers to provide Ann Romney a televised speech. Apparently the Republicans can all agree on one thing, Mitt is NOT the best speaker in the family. Too bad they might have thought about that when choosing their candidate. But, it does relieve the RNC of the albatross of Tea Party speakers arrayed for first night speakers.
Dont you just love all the righties coming out crying about how liberals are so hateful. Boy can they dish it out and just cant take it. Karma is a bitch, it always comes home to roost, a little like the crazy right at the convention.
If this was happening to the DNC, you would all be here telling us how it was God sending a message to us, so please dont pretend you are so rightous and pious, because for the majority of you here, you are the most hateful people I have ever read.
Jim Spence,
After all the adjectives, color words and expletive look a likes you're a loser again! FOX should be given an Emmy for their indoctrination and brainwashing techniques as they sure have worked on you and many others. No facts, but a lot of Murdock type exaggeration!
Bill Marvell
But the real story is that NBC, CBS and ABC all decided to skip covering the first day of the convention
...........An interesting observation, but isn't Tuesday now the "real" first day, so why couldn't they skip that instead? Basically, if there was some aspect of the 1st day that made it not worthy of coverage, hasn't that just been shifted to Tuesday?
The hurricane is God's warning to the Republicans. He's not happy about what they're doing in His name.
boy it appears as tho Democrates are shaking in their boots. Ya'll don't want the publicans tawkin on da TB does ya. A dead heat election at this point. Aboost from the convention and Obama takes a dive in the polls right. Is that the concern. Since we have all heard the Democratinc rehtoric for 4 years that convention will do nothing to help Obamas election campain. Biden helped to move some of the black vote to Romney. Even the Black man who seconded Obamas nomination in 2008 has switched his support to Romney. Who would of thunk it.
Bachmann is blowing the TeaWackos away from Florida, the one day perfect storm !!!!!!
Wow, Even former republican Florida governor Christ comes out in support of Obama. The republican party is dying or dead already. Put on deaths door by the Teabuggers!
ED-2874315
Great post. Yeah -
it's one thing for the GOP to CLAIM they are the party of GOD with all the evangelicals spewing venom like ' god created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve' against gay marriage;
it's quite another for the GOD to judge IF the GOP is REALLY THE party of the GOD, or just a party to abuse GOD for their own not-so-honorable purposes, such as victimizing minorities, steorotyping innocent victims.
So this hurricane MAY BE a sign GOD sends to all the GOPers as a warning.
Avenger, just so you know - according to the latest polls, Romney has 0% of the African-American vote. Facts are stubborn things.
The GOP is more like the party of "SATAN" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, avenger, isn't that what you guys said when Palin was riding high this time last year? At least until she stuck her foot in her mouth and choked, that is. Then we were supposed to be shaking in our loafers when Bachmann was the darling of the right wing lunatic fringe...until she choked on her own foot, too. Then we were shaking in our boots over Cain, but he tripped over a couple of scandals and choked on his own foot and he went away in a big hurry. Then Rick Perry was brought in to make us shake in our Birkenstocks, but he immediately stuck his cowboy boots in his mouth and chocked on them. Gingrich and Santorum were shipped in, but before we could shake in our liberal footwear they choked on their own feet and thankfully left the stage. Now we are supposed to be shaking in our boots over Mitt "Etch-A-Sketch" Romney and his extremely unpopular sidekick, Paul Ryan? Are you sure about that?
You had better take classes on the Heimlich Maneuver, avenger...and fast...because if history is any gauge these two boneheads are going to be needing your help any day now!
That's OK Patriotic American. Obama is blowing our entire country away financially... the 4 year perfect storm.
Patriotic American, are you a child? You certainly sound like one.
Paul Ryan is doing dog tricks at the Convention just for Brianb !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope everyone stays safe. Better to delay the convention, or reschedule it entirely, than to run the risk of folks getting hurt.
That having been said, I can't help but wonder what the religious conservatives would be saying about the punitive actions of the Almighty if this was the democratic national convention or a gay rights convention instead of the republican one.
That's what I thought. A child. If I were to estimate by the verbiage you use... 12, possibly 13. Sigh... immature. School yard language and mentality. Another person for the ignore list based on it's inability to come up with an adult sentence.
Junicon - neither. Not reasonable conservatives... you may have your wack jobs, but they are on both sides of the aisle. Read about 6 dozen of the posts above if you don't believe me.
It appears that the Bipartisan rain dances of this summer are finally being answered along the Gulf Coast. I will limit my amusement to a mild chuckle, besides, a hurricane in Florida late August early September? Who could have foreseen that?
After reading some comments, seeing a TON of collapsed comments, seeing a ton of hate mongering it is NO WONDER why this land is sick. If the comments on boards like this are a direct reflection of our country, then we are SCREWED.
For those stating this is "God's will" or "Global Warming", it is called HURRICANE SEASON. Grow up and get a brain.
I wish everyone Florida the best through this.
You got this nailed! Thanks from a Democratic Floridian. Yeah, am hoping nothing catastrophic hurt my neck o'the woods, but IF it knocks off ONE day of the LIE MARATHON of the Repugs, I'll take it.
For all of you right wingers and teabags -
IF this were the reverse and it was the DNC having their convention here - WE ALL KNOW that YOU KNOW you will be saying this is an ACT OF GOD showing disapproval of the party! BUT obviously God very well be - is unhappy with the RNC's disrespect of HIS 1st commandment.
"YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD AND HIM ONLY SHALL YOU SERVE"
EVERYONE here know that GOPer's are using God as a cover for their agenda.
The truth is the ReTHUGS FIRST PRIORITY and WORSHIP IS MONEY and their 1%
billionaire owners/donors (the Koch brothers, Adelson, etc, etc.) Yep, it's
PARTY FIRST BEFORE GOD. All their ranting of anti-gay and abortion are just lies to win the fanatical religious, plus the fact that they really have NO plans of how to fix our economic problems. It will be back to Reaganomics and Bush era. Maybe, just maybe this is God's sign of a wake-up call and RED flag waiving! HELLO???!!
Lastly the words of Adlai Stevenson said way back in 1952 rings even TRUER:
"I have been thinking that I would make a proposition to my Republican friends... that if they will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them."
JmSpence
ROTFLMAO!!!!
I see the limp-wristed, knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing, uni-brow, illiterate Liberals/Progressives are out with their typical rage, hate, anger, racism, mysoginistic, vitriolic blatherings.

----------------------------------------------
............Read it and weep, you are absolutely correct, ROTFLMAO!!!!
boy it appears as tho Democrates are shaking in their boots.
............Well, a lot of people shake when they're having a hearty laugh.
The GOP Convention is "WATERBOARDING" our Seniors for Votes !!!!!!!!!!
Yada, yada, blah blah republicans blah blah hurricane blah blah etc. No wonder you all are for Obama, you have no sense.
EXCUSE MY WHILE I YAK UP MY DINNER.
The first day of the convention was not set to be broadcast on network television. Monday's featured speakers were to have been former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (the first day's "big thing"). Also set to speak were House Speaker John Boehner, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and one Democrat: Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn. They will try to find room for them later in the week.
So much for Trump's "very big thing" on the first day of the RNC. What a lying sack of S*&T.
Who remembers that man from Focus on the Family standing outside the stadium where candidate Obama was to give his acceptance speech in 2008 and PRAYING FOR RAIN?????? The Republican conv that year was also threatened by a hurricane!!! I do believe God has had it with the Republicans!!
So much hate. I send you all a smile ^_____^
Barack Obama has:
Signed the National Defence Authorization Act (NDAA) Bill into Law allowing any US citizen to Be Detained WITHOUT trial (A federal Court Blocked it in May because it Violates the Constitution, but Obama is not trying to get it UNBLOCKED!).
He has Killed HUNDREDS of Innocent people (Including 3 American Citizens) in Pakistan and Yemen with Drone Strikes (He's Ordered even more drone strikes than Bush!).
The rate of National Debt under George Bush was Around $60 Billion a Month. Under Obama, it's been $190 Billion a Month, so that would be Nearly $600 Per US Citizen (Thanks Obama!).
Obama Care: Page 22. MANDATES, The Government will Audit Book of ALL Employers who Self Insure. Page 50, Section 152, Health Care WILL be Provided to ALL Non US Citizens, Illegal or otherwise. Page 126, Lines 22-25, Employers Must Pay for Their Part time Employees Health Care AND Their Families. Page 127, Lines 1-16, The Government WILL Tell you How much Money you can Make.
Obama has By-passed Congress to Enable the DREAM Act (Unconstitutional to By-Pass Congress, and the Illegals he allowed to become Legal Citizens has Committed over 19 Murders and Over 142 Sex crimes).
Obama Claims he Campaigned in 57 States (Maybe he wasn't Born in this Country?).
I'm NOT a Romney Supporter, but I would say Vote anyone BESIDES Barack Obama. And if Obama Gets Re-elected, buy Guns.
man. they could have done the world a favor and not told the republicans there was a hurricane coming.
Norm...better be careful for what you wish for...it is hurricane season, and dem. convention is in Charlotte N.C. on 9/4-9/6...
Norm, you are so righteous, man! Thanks for the laugh, I needed one today badly!
No reason to feel sorry. There are not hurricanes going to Charlotte.
first day of convention cancelled?
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
"man. they could have done the world a favor and not told the republicans there was a hurricane coming."
WAS coming??? When did it stop coming?
You're odd.
Yeah Norm, and your mom could have done the world a favor and used birth control!
The Republicans should have chosen Arizona for their convention. Arizona is about one of the most natural disaster free areas you will ever find. We never have hurricanes or tornadoes, and the few earthquakes we ever get are so small a Californian would not even wake up during one. Nothing ever happens here in terms of natural disasters, and besides that, it's a predominantly Republican state anyway. They made a bad choice in choosing Florida, I think.
It's all just a plot to bury any Ron Paul exposure, right?
So are you wishing people dead because they hold a different viewpoin than you...? : P
Poor Norm, have to stoop to wish bad on people, Poor poor Norm
Actually it would be great for them not to cancel the first day, A perfect ssetup for all the socialist protesters outside to be drowned and never to cause another problem. While they stay dry and safe inside plenty of trash can be swept out to sea.
Paul Ryan dodged the question about rape by saying "It does not matter about the form of conception" This A***E wants you to carry to term a fetus, even if you were raped, or if you are the victim of incest.
Paul Ryan AGREES with AKIN to have the children of RAPISTS. Mike Huckabee is also a supporter of Akin. He is helping AKIN to raise money for his candidacy. And Huckabee WILL BE TALKING AT THE GOP CONVENTION. He is one of the MAJOR speakers.
FOLKS: the GOP wants to take women back to the back alley abortions. Don't allow it!!!!
Ryan and Romney want to have the POWER to regulate your body. THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT WITH YOUR BODY IF YOU ARE A WOMAN. BUT HE SAYS THAT Women should not worry "He is only running for Vice-President"
Now, blue thunder, it's better not to jump into the Forrest, uhh I mean ...Andy Gump with these hateful bigots. You will come out smelling like they do. Not worth it.
What benefit is it to you to internalize the negativity and hate of their own media toilet flush?
Just because they sit down in the pit of the outhouse like newly hatched chicks with their mouths open waiting for the next meal they will in turn regurgitate upon the world, does not mean it is effective or changes anything.
GWB will always be known as the president who lied to start a war.
GWB the vice president under Cheney at the time, as everyone knows
Cheney was calling the shots back then, will be known forever as
going to McCain's birthday party when all those people were dying and
losing their homes and their whole lives during Hurricane Katrina.
I remember the greatest speech Bush gave of his career while at
the birthday party.
"Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday
Sen McCain...Happy birthday to you....oh boy cake and ice cream!"
If this isn't a big enough sign from a bible toting Mormon then I don't know what is!
@IRESPOND-2315268... Out of all the pros and cons you can find in either party that is the deal breaker for you? I guess it might as well come down to something like abortion seeing this country is in for another four years of financial and economical damage regardless of what party wins. I just have seen so many other negative comments about the ticket and only a few with that concern.
This one they can't blame on OBAMA! GOD DON'T LIKE UGLY!! And he is definetly speaking to us all! ALL politians are all full of sh-t. And they dooooooooooooooooo not give a sh-t about the American People, just getting into office, and getting their money!! WAKE UP PEOPLE!!
Is that true? Remember George W. Bush left office with a record deficit:
The simple fact is that Obama inherited a federal deficit of $1.2 trillion on the day he was sworn in last year. Barely two weeks earlier, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office issued its regular "Budget and Economic Outlook" document, stating:
Fact is, George W. Bush left Obama with a huge increase in debt! Now, what has been done since Geoge W. Bush?
Fact is, Obama decreased spending!
Now, let's take a look at Ryan's plan, something Romney just loves:
According to the CBO:
The House Republican budget plan released today would not restrain the growth of the national debt. In fact, if implemented, the actual policy proposals laid out in the plan would result in publicly held debt rising from about $10 trillion this year to more than $22 trillion by 2022. Under their proposal, within 10 years we will be spending more on interest payments on the debt than we will on Medicare.
I rest my case...
Wonder why the Dems convention is in North Carolina..... shouldn't it be in DETROIT.......
@EEngineer... Yeah. Bush makes Obama look good (that is not saying much). Romney? Well don't get me going on him. They are all failures or doomed to fail. It is the system that is flawed and the future doesn't look too good. To fix the system you need to fix the culture and values of the people. My party this, your party that. It's all BS. Anyone who thinks their particular party is any better or has the answer is just kidding themselves. No one person or party can fix the mess we are in.
So much hate on this blog., and after the election, I fear it will continue. This country is divided, like I have never seen before. Want proof? Its right in front of you, in all of its glory.
It so easy to ridicule or attack someone when you are safely tucked away in your home, behind your desk, on your computer. I wonder how many would be willing to spout the same hatefully words when you are face to face. I am betting, not many.
Truly shameful behavior.
I think EEngineer is calling out the Republicans out on the "fiscally" responsible rhetoric that they so boldly proclaim, as if the 16 trillion debt we are in is solely at the hands of Obama, which it is clearly not when you factor in 2 unfunded wars and tax breaks occurring simultaneously. Call it as it is and dump the fiscal rhetoric. Added to it, one could argue that going back to 2007, we are in a severe recession and probably a modern day version of a depression in several areas of the country.
Let's see-
Republicans can one day of their convention because of weather.
Democrats can a day of their convention because of lack of money.
Hmmmm
Mickey-1983943
The Republicans should have chosen Arizona for their convention...... They made a bad choice in choosing Florida, I think.
..........Yes Mickey, you made several good points in your post. However, AZ is represented by John McCain in the US Senate, and the GOP/TP branch of the GOP does not like him, he is not right-wing radical enough for them.
no joe, no bo, nj
Let's see-
Republicans can one day of their convention because of weather.
Democrats can a day of their convention because of lack of money.....Hmmmm.
..................Hmmmmm, so does this make one of the them the obvious party of the wealthy?
Well, this is getting same old, same old, good bye everybody, have a very good day....and people in Tampa, don't get stupid like some have done in the past and go down to the shore to watch the waves come in, yes, I have seen news footage of that happening in the past, and some people have been washed away, hunker down and keep safe.
Roadhouse Blues,
"you made several good points in your post. However, AZ is represented by John McCain in the US Senate, and the GOP/TP branch of the GOP does not like him, he is not right-wing radical enough for them."
Yes, I think you made a good point there. John McCain still has a functioning brain in his head, unlike many of the more radical right wing Republicans, although I do not agree with everything he says. But why the Republicans chose to have their convention in Florida during hurricane season is beyond me.
What's up with all the red white and blue balloons at the GOP convention, this party is everything but American !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not saying I wish them dead or anything, I'm just saying I wish them out of politics. If the republicans were washed out to sea and ended up on an as-of-yet unknown island that also happened to be a paradise, I'd be fine with that too. Or if they all drowned, that would also be alright with me.
besides, it's only scientific opinion that a hurricane was coming. When did scientific opinion ever stop republicans from doing anything?
Is Romney going to have his $ 77,000.00 dollar tax right off therapy horse at the Convention for Annie, they like horsing around with the IRS !!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe with a little luck and with Nature's help the GOP will cancel the rest of the convention and save the American people from the tedium of another few days of empty promises and outright lies from Republican politicians. I mean, it's not like they have a chance in hell of winning the election, anyway. Why annoy the poor people of Tampa and the rest of the country with their blithering idiocy for no good reason?
Bring on the hurricane! It will be far less destructive to our country than the hateful dishonesty of the GOP/TP/Neo-Fascist Party!
Isaac is crashing the party of "SIN"
I actually agree with you on this.
I also believe President Obama gives us a much better chance of getting out of this recession/deprecession than Romney
@sreeeeminglib... I don't think either candidate can get us out of this mess. The fact is you will have little or no bipartisan support regardless of who is elected. The country is more divided than ever since Obama took office and it will get even worse if he is replaced after just four years. The political tension is bad enough but throw in some more racial tension if he is replaced and look out.
In short, you are not going to remove this incumbent quietly so let the guy finish what he started and he can either straighten things out or he fails in his second term and maybe then the voters will learn to vote for someone with the proper qualifications and not just vote for someone to feel like they are doing the right thing. I hope in four years there are capable candidates from both parties to bring this country back.
@normalice: Too bad the republicans had to go and let God know ahead of time that they were holding their convention in Florida. Now, all those poor Floridians have to deal with "the wrath of God" just because the republicans decided to hold their darn convention there!
(For those who don't recognize it: sarcasm intended here.)
a bunch of blowhards replaced by a big blow hard
Karma actually works??
Mother Nature says 'NO' to the Party of 'NO'
No to what you represent Pigotry, (hate, intolerance, bigotry, bias, discrimination, dogma spewing, narrow-mindedness, partiality, provincialism etc etc) ... equals a YES for humanity.
It is ironic, the name you chose in mocking the objects of your malevolent emotions, in reality, fits you perfectly.
Shortening the GOP's time to speak only reduces their opportunities to say stupid things.
Hey, Con, relax and have a sense of humor. This whole place is just for the fun of it.
Bon Appetit & Sweet Dreams.
Note: Con is short for Con-science, or conservatives
A better moniker for a conservative can be Akon, Akin (Todd Akin?), or Acon?
The GOP Convention looks more like a hospital for the insane !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How about ACORN Pig? : P
So wishing people dead is "just for the fin of it;;;? "
Were you there in Rome when they were feeding Christians to the lions..? : P
Eastern philosophy basically explains how with each re-incarnation, a soul is supposed to progress. ( I guess you got confused by "progressive" ) ... not REGRESS.
Mother Nature/ God/ Jesus/ The Flying Spaghetti Monster has a wonderful sense of humor.
My blue sky fairy can beat up your flying macaroni monster. lol
Not if it can't get past the Invisible Pink Unicorns first.
His Noodly Awesomeness is quite compassionate. Something about beer volcanoes comes to mind.
I don't believe the Flying Spaghetti monster OR the blue sky fairy created this hurricane for Mitt- I DO think that Shamus is up in heaven saying "Strap ME to the roof of your car and think you can get away with it-oh NO you WON'T..."
God to republicans....your convention blows.
[Obama had a dog killed so he could eat it. It's in "Dreams of my Father"; his autobiographical account of his life.]
Uhm, no HE didn't, and no, it's not...but don't let that stop your moronic rantings...I find it extremely entertaining. But Rush and Beck are oh so proud of you, little minion.
[Bring up dog again !]
Ok, for entertainment's sake:
DOG.
Now you post another silly flat-earther, ignorant ideological and emotional lie about Obama.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! This is FUN!
yes he did and he also wrote how he hated his mother's race or do you want to lie about that
Do any of you bitter little people ever read what you write? Mickey...how stupid are you? Even God hates republicans? Just stop and think what a ignorant comment that is! What do people like you think about? Are you just sitting around in your basement thinking of of sadistic things to spew or just children of Rachael Maddow?
Speaking of dogs, Mitt's father, George, was born in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico at a Mormon polygamist colony, in 1907.
Mitt's grandfather had fled to Mexico when the Federal Government had threatened to deny statehood to Utah unless they outlawed polygamy, and then Poof!- the Mormon Church suddenly had a "revelation" that polygamy was no longer to be practiced.
So Mitt is the son of a Chihuahuan, and he sounds like one too.
YIP YIP YIP says the DOG!
What business is it of your how many women a man is married to? Or is it only not another's business when a man marries a man?
(which is fine by me)
Why all the hate for DOGS????? Lotta DOG hating and I haven't even gotten through page one. Sheeeesh In the words of Shamus: "Don't Roof Rack me Bro." >:o): GrRRrrRrrRRrrr
Anyway, Safe blessings to those who may be in harms way.
May the Goddess embrace you and keep you safe.
Much Love n Blessings,
Da Pup (a DOG)
>:o): PuRRrRrRrRRrRrRrrrrrr
Robert hon you have some issues seek help before you do harm to others.
I guess if Pat Robertson is going to claim that a hurricane off the coast of Atlantic city area is a curse on the U.S. due to homosexuality, and abortions, then I guess you could say the weather stopping the GOP convention is God's rath on a party that smoozes the fundamentalist vote, and clearly do it just to garnish millions of votes. Or maybe it is a judgement of these Christians who vote for a political brand for only 2 reasons, abortion and non-traditional marriage. I SEE A VISION..... yes, I can see it now!!! God is up up there some where in a celestial kingdom that Romney would be able to give more details, PISSING on the Republican convention,oh yes people this vision, it's a vision so real, I should get to share it on the 700 Club and TBN.
And if you send me a $50 tax deductible donation. I will send you a full length CD, of why God has had it up to his eyeballs with Republicanism... And how Pat Robertson will be fullfilled in Psalms 109:8-9. Send all donations to FOX TV- Freedom of Religion Dept.
P.O. Box 666, Dept. A-Z
New York, New York With an additional donation of $25, I will send you HOW, God came
down from heaven and had sex with Mary to conceive Jesus Christ "the first saint" according to Mormonism. PLEASE DO NOT DELAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS MAKES ME TOO HAPPY!!!!
And U know what else? ....
god is probably a woman
God Is Probably A Woman
GOD IS PROBABLY A WOMAN
LMAO at RepubliCONS over & over!!!!!!!
Londoncalling.
Kind of makes you wonder where the 'birthers' were in the 1960's, doesn't it? And did George ever get naturalized? Or just swept under the carpet, in simpler laissez faire times.
The GOP Convention is a 1% Plot for their dirtbag "Puppets" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and people who use all caps and bold for a sentence/paragraph are people who are blind and have NO clue how to use a computer...
Who cares? does anyone watch this CRAP, Including Democrat version
I agree, but "pigotry" is loving it rolling inn the mire of hate and intolerance. : P gotta Love it!!!
Oh I've watched since I was 11 years old, my parents were Hubert Humphrey Democrats and both conventions were requiried watching. That is why I can tell you that the GOP convention sounds like a broken record or DVD (to those who don't know what a record is). Heard the deregulation, tax cut, trickle down, fiscal responsibility rhetoric for let me see.... I am 54 subtract 11, that would be for 43 years now. Same old,same old.
Wheels of misfortune, poor Romney's dog !!!!!!!!!!!!
nicely said Normalice
I will always love people named Isaac forever. I love it when karma comes around and bites Republicans in the butt. Only an idiot would hold a convention in Florida during hurricane season. Next time have the morons consider Alaska, or Michigan or Cleveland or Salt Lake City.
If Romney wins, the next one would be in Salt Lake City....
I agree maybe they could use their bridge to nowhere since that is where all the repugs ideas come from "NOWHERE"
Seriously? The Dems are holding their convention in North Carolina. Do you understand that North Carolina is equally prone to hurricanes? If not, what is the point of your post? At least offer an intelligent thought if you are going to post a comment.
Thank you list moderator BAR. I think I will continue to take my license to post what I wish without your review. Charlotte is on the coast like Tampa, NOT. Its far inland and must less likely to experience serious hurricane damage unlike Tampa, but of course being a Republican you failed geography.
BAR - Hurricane activity between 1851-2004: Florida (110) vs North Carolina (46). Clearly your intelligent thoughts were lost in a web of lies.
Oh, I don't think this hurricane has anything to do with God; more likely physics. You get that many blow-hards in one geographical location and you're undoubtedly going to effect the weather.
Just got done listening to the weather channel. The water temperature of the ocean is up several degrees south of Florida - perhaps El Diablo was a scheduled guest speaker at the Republican convention. Goes hand-in-hand with ethics and morals of the rich wanting to get richer, and let the middle class and poor die off quicker.
Still think it is physics - to many blow-hards blowing hot air (rhetoric) in one place is not good for the planet!
Republicans don't believe in physics, though. Unless it validates their ignorant, hateful, misogynistic, and superstitious world view, of course.
This storm is a act of God destroying the TeaPubs Evil, America jumps for joy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This massage was approved by God !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Republicans don't believe in physics"
Wow, you really took that hyperbole hook, line and sinker.
hahahahaahahahahhhaa : P
Impending Hurricane......oh ok I get it....Obama's flapping his jaw again.... if it were Romney it would be considered a "Tropical Storm"....either way we are in for some life changing events due to the poor choices we have to choose from.....Damned if we do and damned if we don't....both are roads to ruin...
The hookers and strippers aren't going to be happy about this, they have bills to pay you know.
yeah, I hear the "Lady boys" are big with the "family values" guys- how's Larry "Wide Stance" doing these days, anyway?
Vitter is classic though, straight to the brothel to pay a female prostitute- I guess that's what the Republicans consider "legitimate " sex.
Hell, they're happy................an extra full day to service the teabaggers with naked swimming and probing wands.
Are you under the delusion that only Republicans use their services...? : P Really ? LoLzZz
@Con-science: no, but they get to charge double for all the really kinky stuff the GOP is known for. There's also a surcharge for wearing those Sarah, Michelle, and Hillary (especially popular with the Rushbo crowd) wigs.
I know!
Think of all the underage boy prostitutes that won't be getting that new PS3 games now!
Republicans are big business for them!
CNN actually researched this. For the 2008 convention, the average Republican conventioneer visiting "Gentlemen's Clubs" spent $150. The average Democrat spent $50. Business was brisk at both conventions.
This may point to evidence that Republicans truly believe in trickle-down, as in 'make it rain.' Alternately, Democrats may actually be more fiscally conservative.
Ironic how you seem to be familiar with the pricing structure for kinky sexual activity with prostitutes....
So, in reality, you are cherry-picking your sexual preference categories. To you, a person is a bigot if they disapprove of homosexuality, while at the same time you enjoy mocking others who enjoy what you refer to as kinky sex...?
Seeing as how no one has been able to present a serious case that the human digestive system was evolved for the purpose of sexual gratification, sodomy is truly kinky. Of course, that does not imply that the behavior is morally wrong or that those who enjoy it should be denied their equal rights.
It begs the question: How do you reconcile it in your mind... or more accurately, your imagination..., when you attack a Christian for cherry-picking values from the Bible, while you replicate that hypocritical behavior in you own inimitable way?
Yes Bill, CNN certainly had no ulterior motive in conducting their "study" and the results are trustworthy.
It was done with the scientific certainty that liberals demand in other arguments and could not be an example of demonizing propaganda?
Even if the numbers are correct, there is a difference between "visiting a gentlemen's club" and doing a prostitute.
Not every conservative is married or a Christian whose morals would presumably preclude him from visiting such an establishment. The rest are free to do as they please without reproach, as in accordance with the liberal theme that what happens in a person's private life is nobody's business.
@Con-science: well, I'm just pointing out what's been reported anecdotally in the post-mortems to these events. To illustrate:
At a Democratic convention, a lady might be asked to dress as Bo Peep.
At a Republican convention, a lady might be asked to dress as Bo Peep and also bring a real sheep with a specific gender owing to the conventioneers' preference .... and then be asked to leave the room ... or hold the camera.
Hope that helps.
With your obsession with the "fringe" sexual activity of beastiality and other forms of "kinky" behavior, your are certainly identifying with the right political party.
Since the world is still in the process of adjusting to the integration of the lgbt community into the mainstream, it may take a while for your own orientation to be accepted. I would urge you however, do not become emotionally downcast over this situation, for in time, you surely will be completely integrated with normal members of the human race.
Do not become overly concerned if the lgbt and liberal community reject your lifestyle at first. It's not because they hate you or are knuckle-dragging bigots.... You just have to understand that there is a difference between disgust, rejection and what they enjoy calling hate.
Your eventual success in your struggle with them for acceptance will be achieved if you can frame the situation to mirror their own war for legitimacy against conservative forces.
Eventually your way of life will be accepted, but you must have patience, you can't expect the world to change it's perspective overnight.
In consideration of whatever species of animals you will choose to mate with, please remember that their digestive system, like that of human beings, has not been evolved for the purpose of sexual gratification.
Therefore, if you sodomize an animal you will be doing irreparable harm to it, just like happens in the human species. You will have to come up with a strategy to convince the world that your behavior is not immoral cruelty to animals in order to achieve widespread acceptance as normal. The SPCA will be to you what the Christian community is to the lgbt community.
Wish you all the best in your efforts.
I understand that the Pinnellas County law enforcement has been instructed to aquaint themselves with the phrase "I was just conducting a penetrating expose'" as the new code phrase for that old standard prevalent at the last several GOP conventions: "Honest, officer - I was just trying to help that sheep over the fence. I don't know how his back legs got into my boots" However; a major tip-off they'll be looking for this week is the (over)use of Sarah Palin wigs and the phrase "Drill, Baby Drill" shorn into the backsides of said sheep.
Hope you have a wonderful convention and play safe - remember only you can prevent brucella ovis and ulcerative dermatosis.
if they don't have a convention, can they really have a candidate?
He is the fifth highest rated candidate after Santorum.
We will make the same jokes about the Democratic convention if it gets hit by a hurricane. All in fun here as long as we keep the facts on the table and no made up stories.
Really?
Are they more worried about Hurricane Isaac, or about Mike Huckabee openly supporting Todd Akin in his speech?
God never gets angry or hates.
Your right "angry or hate" is to harsh, how about he disciplines and chastises those to SEND a message, to those he loves he disciplines. Can we stomach that kind of correction??
It is up to each individual to "stomach" or not.
With respect to the concept our Christian brothers have, I disagree. God is the life force that is in all living things, not some old man in a chair in the clouds.
There are many paths home, the idea that God would create all of these beings and then allow only one group to return is not one I can accept.
One difference between you and I is that when they disagree with me, I don't imagine that as hate and generate hate of my own in response.
Remember, you are supposed to stand for tolerance.
Depends on whose god you are talking about. God is a psychological projection of the self, so a hateful, angry god is just a reflection of its hateful, angry believers.
Tolerance is good except when a blind man is about to fall off a cliff and plummet to his death, then tolerance is no longer a virture, then it is time to tackle, yell, scream, to get the blind man to stop.
You're both subscribing to stereotypes. I suggest you go undercover to any house of worship to see just how "hateful" people of faith are.
In any case, how can you denigrate the Bible followers and embrace Muslims, ....SOME of them, the extremists, are over there hacking people's heads off for dancing.
In any case Paul, wishing an entire demographic into the cornfield is not an example of tolerance. It only serves as evidence that you have allowed yourself to become a victim, brainwashed by the propaganda.
My condolences.
This will hurt Mitt and Paul? I am sure all the elderly wanted to here about VOUCHERS? Stay safe in FLA folks. This is going to be a big hurricane.
Hopefully it won't hit Tampa but not to worry Floridians are tough and well prepared
Thank You, and yes we are!
I do love florida and everytime I have been there I have been treated well by the people. Please do stay safe.
Floridians, please stay safe. Take any and all precautions necessary. Praying for your health and safety.
Yeah this WORKING LIBERAL prays. Imagine that!!
The Tampa-Clearwater is a wonderful area and I hope it and it's friendly residents come through this safe and sound. In spite of all the silly banter, hope that the GOP has a great convention with everyone returning to their homes safely.
@TiredVoter.....Thank you for saying that...I was thinking the same thing.
So refreshing to have a positive comment to respond to. Yes take care everybody.
It's bad juju for the GOP.
If it does turn out to be a disaster.... for the human beings and animals in the area, the irony of how the left was here in force reveling in the thought of the destruction will be epic.
The party of "tolerance" and "compassion" ignoring the "collateral damage" .... lives lost, people hurt, families having lost everything, widespread suffering.... and reveling in the cancellation of a political convention.
What a thing to wish for....
When it becomes official the romney campaign can cut loose with the money for ads and seal the deal. barry is on the ropes! Game on!
Obama may be on the ropes,but Romneys not even in the ring.
Last -- you mean like those ads that have been proven to be blatantly false? You must think that the American people are inherently stupid if you believe that Romney can lie his way to victory. Shame on you.
See the reBLOODlican's knew they p"oed God off & they knew "she" was coming to straighten them out & take away all the liar's & tax cheater's.....lol
agree and boy is SHE mad.
Yes she is!
it's not a good sign for the republicans.
And it was GOOD!
heehee like the wind that comes out of your anus.. and you try to pass of as commentary..?
Bruce-1628250 16.1
Giggle, giggle, giggle!
FUNNY!
You sure put some good ones on here, Bruce. Thanks!!
You are welcome Jean, and thanks for the feedback!
You're welcome Bruce.
If this doesnt wreak of biblical proportions, I dont know what does. LOL
Hurricanes and Republicans can get pretty scary, people are better off if they both fizzle out.
Yes so true, as the Black Jesus in South Carolina
jttri, Not sure what you're comment means, but as you may or may not know, the historical fact is that Jesus was not a Blond Hair Blue Eyed White Guy. He was more than likely as dark skinned as President Obama, brown eyes and black or brown hair. Hope that doesn't come as a big shock to you or any other fake Christian out there.
Bruce,
You forgot to add that he was a JEW...
@G-Dog: you're right ... I hear they are working on having former President Bush do a fly over on Wednesday in a Cessna 172.
Studies show that the per capita percentage of pseudo-liberals far outweighs that of Christians who are fake.
All of those who are here reveling in the thought of a disaster striking Tampa are obviously included in that demographic.
So, will they blame President Obama for this also ?
NO!!! they'll blame George Bush like the DUMBOCRATS have done for the past 4 YEARS.
No - the storm is too organized. :)
No more than they blamed Bush for Catrina,
Got any new stuff you Dems suck at one linners.
Bush was a FAIL at Katrina
They are blowing the best weather you can possibly have in FLA this time of the year!! POU-Ha-Ha; Let's keep watching them bury themselves!! A few more like this, they'll take John Stewart's job away!!!!
Or FOX will blame Michelle,noo they will blame Obama for something. I'll make it up before Monday, the Mayor is a Democrat and he purposefully did not work with the Army Corp. of Engineers to maximize water drainage, therefore flooding the convention, therefore, Obama did it. As reported by Laura Ingraham filling in for Bill O'Reilly who is walking around in 12" of water. My prediction.
There will be more wind blowing inside than outside. Windbags tend to do that.
Too bad would of loved to see the occutards drenched and slammed by all the wind and rain, oh we'll I will just DVR the head smashing of the libtards
"Oh, we'll" and your calling other people "tards" of any kind? Go back to burning ants with a magnifying glass and let the adults use the computer.
JSworld13, now that is funny. LMAO.
See, jttri, I knew that if you were one of those who calls him/herself a Christian, then you are a FAKE ONE.
You need to go back to school, you can't even form a sentence.
Indeed Bruce, you have correctly identified a fake Christian.
The comment above is disgraceful.
Yet you and many others are here hoping for the same thing....
Now, if would you kindly explain to the world how wishing for a disaster is in line with the core values of the liberal movement?
How can one wish for a disaster which may include the loss of life, widespread suffering and property damage and not be a PSEUDO-LIBERAL...?
Bruce,, Bruce ... are you there...?
Still waiting for your response.....
Halalua!!! ha! Ha! I am so glad: I hope they cannot even have a convention now. hahahaaha
Now, if would you kindly explain to the world how wishing for a disaster is in line with the core values of the liberal movement?
How can one wish for a disaster which may include the loss of life, widespread suffering and property damage and not see the parallel to krystalnacht...?
OK, the rain falls on the just and the un-just whoever that may be, and stuff happens. Most of the posting were comparing to Pat Robertsons prophesy of the hurricane from a couple of years ago.
no, they are rolling in the mire of their own hate
vvv nnnn
Yea Yea Yea I am jumping for joy!! I want to see the Republicans get destroyed in November and every one of them get thrown out of office. https://sites.google.com/site/economictruthyouneedtoknow/home
Joe Biden should have a convention. will make GOP look good
Was this a "legitimate hurricane" or just a regular hurricane? Republicans should see this as an act of God frowning upon them like Sodom and Gomorrah. I just see it as hysterical karma.
I take that this is a failed attempt at humor.
Nothing can make the GOP look good.
bj
Obama economy makes the GOP look Great!!!
inArizona1 #24:
NOTHING at all would EVER make the GOP look good...............
Obamano-You mean the economy the GOP and Bush created, damn how many times do you simpletons need to be reminded?? I know you want a chance to have history repeat itself. Not!
Oh well we will see how creepy - hide my tax forms in Sweeden with the cash does come Nov.
Sleaze that's what we need for President of the USA-not going to happen.
Obama/Biden-2012
What 'chicken @!$%#s' these GOP members are. They can't stand up to a little hurricane??? What about Katrina?
Lana-New Orleans better hope another hurricane doesn't come again thanks to Jindal, because of their corrupt levy board they will flood again. Jindal the worst of Louisiana, I grew up there and lived there 40 years.
Jindal is the Joker of the GOP! The problem with Louisiana voters is the lack of caring, perfect breeding ground for little Jindal's.
Obama/Biden-2012
rushless-I think what you said can be applied to the entire country. We've lost our government by the people to corporate America. It should be blatantly obvious to anyone watching and listening to what's going on in these campaigns, yet no one seems to care. To paraphrase what you said, perfect breeding ground for every moral-less politician to grab taxpayer money and secure a future on our backs.
Love Louisiana-great state!
what they afraid of getting wet . the gop is already wet and don't know how to do anything correct . Romney is a joke trying to think he is smart . wake up people this is a real disaster with paul and mitt .
