The liberals have got to be steaming mad about this.

“Why didn’t we take the lead on hurricane relief?!”

“WE’re the real party of the people, not the Republicans!”

Hope these efforts are mentioned during the RNC convention. The defunct [drive-by] media certainly will not publish them.

Alphie – STFU already. You would be posting some offensive nonsense if the GOP had their convention as planned. I honestly cannot understand how you seem to revel in being patently offensive. I gess, like most children, you behave badly for the attention. Well you got it from me once and never again.

Why not domestic disaster relief…?

I’m certain you’re aware of the fine steady hand Senator McCain and his chief foreign policy advisor played in that dicey situation last week in the country of Georgia…?

“We’re all Georgians today…”—Senator John McCain

The Ruskies pulled up trou and headed for them thar hills to the north, you betcha…!

Real quick…!

Obama news:

***
Global Labor and Politics (blog) by Steve Diamond, 9/1/08.

Not much has been heard from Obama on labor issues and he prefers to “dial in” his lectures to labor groups rather than show up in person as he did recently to the teachers’ unions.

On the Democratic Convention: Will Obama Keep His Promise on Merit Pay for Teachers?
By Lance T. Izumi

Mr. Obama has rightly drawn praise for his courage to push merit pay in front of teacher-union audiences. The question now is whether he would allow his union allies to limit the parameters of merit pay, turning his good intentions into less-than-effective policy.

***

On smearing other candidates’ families, Obama cheers behind the curtains while maintaining his public absence and silence rather than keeping his slashers on any leash.
BHO modus operandi for the record.

The GOP Convention hosts care-package packing activities for attendee participation in organizing and sending aid and relief to Gustav victims.

Good work, Country First.

BTW, use “Wonderful World” by Joey Ramone, a die-hard Republican, at the Convention.

Johnny Ramone was the Republican. The other Ramones were either libs or uninterested in politics.

The GOP is pandering just to head off criticism.

Agreed.

Can’t they see how obvious they are?

Funny!

Olbermann sent to NY covering Gustav; bad dog! Down boy!

Gregory to sit beside Chris Matthews at the RNC Convention. Gregory Glee Club with Chris’ tingle-less leg gone to sleep. Now, to see how ugly or decent any of them can manage to appear on camera.

My two cents:

Consider shutting down the comments on the Bristol thread and directing commenters here. It’s run its course, and this is far more important.

Thanks for the links.

Liberals are falling all over themselves in glee at the shutdown of the Republican convention and declaring that God is on their side. Normal Americans, however, are praying for relief for those affected by the hurricane and looking for ways to help. The contrast couldn’t be more stark.

The hurricane is starting to look like a dud, and this “hurricane relief” is starting to look opportunistic.

BTW, use “Wonderful World” by Joey Ramone, a die-hard Republican, at the Convention.

“break hot air” sounds a lot like “breaking wind”. maybe you should re-phrase that. ;-)

Now we have political parties to look to for disaster relief?

The GOP is pandering just to head off criticism.

This is sick really. but I understand how your hand is forced when the opposing party can, in concert with the MSM blame your party for weather and actually make that absurdity stick.
