Could we please stop with the threads about Gustav landing during the GOP convention?

[femmedem]

People could lose their lives. Survivors could be devastated. It makes us look like incredible jerks to be gloating in OP's or comments.

1. I live on the gulf coast

my home was damaged by Katrina. Gustav scares the hell out of me. The GOP is having their convention next week. Per the weather pros, a hurricane may hit the coast next week. There is no gloating in my post.

3. Stay safe, Bosshog.

I'm hoping to hear from you next week that you and your loved ones came through just fine.
I know your OP asked for gentle rain. The replies got to me.

[BOSSHOG]

4. It would be my intense pleasure

to post maybe tuesday afternoon and report that we are having a gentle rain with nice cool breezes.

11. I'll look for it! And I'll post, I hope, that my parents are okay as well.

Also, if you search DU on Gustav in the Presidential forum, you'll see some of the OP's that prompted me to say this. :hug:

6. My reply merely hoped the storm would remind people, then dissipate...

... into a circular pattern looking eerily like Obama's logo.

I'm from NOLA. My brother had to rebuild everything, and many relatives couldn't even do that. I suffered major damage from 2 Cat 3's the year before in FL. I want no storm to hit the Gulf Coast for another 100 years.

7. Hey Boss

I am with ya,.....stay safe
Batten down the hatches, crash dive if necessary, but stay safe....

:hi: :patriot:

8. I hear ya. Looks like Lake Charles right now.

NOLA would be on the 'bad' side.
But it's a long way off.

2. I'm willing to stop if the wingers will stop

praying for rain. Anyway, hurricanes rarely strike Minnesota.

[onenote]

5. Nominated for the least logical post of the week.

Okay, so because freepers are praying for rain in Colorado, we should hope a killer storm hits the Gulf. And its nothing to be apologetic about because it will only harm people in the gulf states, not the repubs gathered in Minnesota.

Ho-kay....

10. Well, yesterday we were going to shake baby toys to make an obscure point

which sort of downweights a lot of other things that appear here.

14. I don't see the comparison!

I'm sorry, but I don't see the comparison between freepers praying for a rain storm, and our side wishing a hurricane hits land with a possibility of displacing millions.

9. Don't worry if it hits Louisiana neither the GOP or America will care.

[rudy23]

16. They'll care enough to make our failures as human beings a GOP talking point

Really, I don't wish anyone to have to go through what New Orleanians have been going through for the past three years.

12. I certainly hope the the Governor and local officials are

getting evacuation plans in place, like right now! Not much time for politics if reports on the bungled levee rebuilding are true.

13. Who's Gustav and why does he hate America?

:nuke:

[ON_THE_FENCE]

15. A Hurricane that Bush and Chenney have drummed to hit land!

Well, what?
