What Republicans are *really* thinking": Thank God we have an excuse to call off the convention

[hisownpetard]

for tomorrow and get rid of Bush!!!!!!

1. My thoughts exactly! n/t

4. After the mind-blowing success of the Dem. convention, I bet they wish they could put off theirs

for another week or two, just to put more space between their shindig and ours.

Hurricane, hell - they're probably wishing for a tsunami.:hi:

[applegrove]

2. Yup. They now have an excuse why their convention wasn't as exciting

or enthusiastic as the Democratic one. Too bad. But all that really matters this week is that as few people as possible are killed, hurt, by Gustav. That is what matters most.

[hisownpetard]

6. Yeah. And then, of course, they'll claim they couldn't build up enough momentum because

they had one day less than the Dems.

[Muttocracy]

3. cheering would be inappropriate, so that will be their explanation for lack of cheering. nt

7. I'm sure a lot of them consider Gustav a gift from God (and Jerry Falwell). It will serve

as their uber-excuse for anything and everything that goes wrong.

[blonndee]

5. Yup! I totally agree. We will still see sick and "concerned" repuke faces

but now they can pretend it's because of Gustav.

9. And Bush must be doing his little tap dance routine, now that he doesn't have to risk

getting booed by his own party.

[TwilightZone]

8. Agreed. There were a lot of Republicans that didn't want Bush anywhere near the convention.

For good reason.

10. What will they do with all those empty VIP seats that were reserved for Bush, Cheney, Condi, Alberto

Harriet, Bolton, and the rest of the gang?

[Muttocracy]

12. and a lot of Congress GOP up for reelection not attending anyway. nt

[hisownpetard]

13. Yeah - God bless 'em!

[Aussie leftie]

11. There is no reason in the world why Dick Cheney cant fill in for Bush n/t

[hisownpetard]

14. They haven't even offered a half-hearted excuse. What a bunch of evil losers.

[Historic NY]

15. What happens if the storm blows over? I'd love to see that.

Somehow they are getting people to believe the storm is going to blow St Paul & the Twin Cities region off the map.......didn't anyone look at a map.
