Will The Republicans Use Hurricane Gustav to Their Political Advantage?

Question

to counterbalance their neglect of Katrina? to employ fear and disaster politics as they have invoking 9/11? or to take from the Democrats the word 'Unity'?

Answer 1

No.  But there are several Democrats, including Michael Moore,  a former DNC chairperson and Democratic congressman  John Spratt who have stated that this is Gods way of undermining the Republican National Convention.

Does it get more disgusting than that?

Answer 2

Last I knew, the word "Unity" belonged to the English language, not just the democrats. The democrat leaning "mainstream media" will be using Gustav to take attention away from the republican convention. The democrats, namely Obama, employed fear during his acceptance speech when talking about Katrina, acting as if it wouldn't have happened under a democratic party controlled US government, forgetting the fact that Louisiana had been under the control of the democratic party for decades.

Answer 3

No, but apparantly liberals are.

Answer 4

McCain's already headed that way for photo ops.  

Answer 5

Naw..

Answer 6

They already have. Bush announced that he will have to skip the convention so that he can be with his "fellow Texans" to ride out the storm.

hee, hee, hee.

Answer 7

Neglect?  Don't you read?  Do you watch TV?  Those people in New Orleans made about $100,000 each person, each year,  in the years since Katrina.

Barak Obama has already called Mayor Ray Nagin and the Governor of Louisiana, so who is using Gustav to their advantage?

Answer 8

Did you have a problem with the way that democrats used Katrina? If not, then why your question?

I am absolutely certain that democrats will try to use Gustav in the same way that they used Katrina.

Answer 9

they always do, use disaster to put fear in there people !!!
