Wanna bet? bu$h will open with prayer for Floridians

[AnnInLa]

and, we'd all better pray for Floridians, BUT, he will hijack this hurricane for his own benefit, just like he hijacked 9/11. Damn, I hate that hypocrite.

1. hijack this hurricane ?

What do you mean by that???

[AnnInLa]

2. By praying for the Floridians, he will use the hurricane

to show how pius he is...like the repugs are so Christian and all. he will use the hurricane to demonstrate his faith. Use, use, use whatever is at hand.

Just like the sign I saw in the anti-war protest march..."Bush hijacked our grief over 9/11 and flew it into Iraq." Even tho the whole nation is worried about the Floridians, he will take over that worry and demonstrate that he is the most worried of us all, hypocrite.

3. I was thinking the same thing earlier,

bet he says he got some news and wants everyone to take a moment and bow in prayer.
He is always using someone's pain to futher his goals.

4. What would he ever do without

other people's misery?

[whistle]

5. Have him send the federal money he promised all victims...

...of Hurricane Charlie. So far it's all been words, words, words from brother Jeb and other reTHUGlicans. Now Frances which is category 4 and getting stronger and is huge (400 miles across) will slam into Florida late tomorrow afternoon or evening.

A factode I heard was that Hurricane Charlie caused over $15 billion in damages, but because of the special hurricane decductable clauses that brother Jeb Bush allowed insurance companies to write into their policies back in 2002, the insurance companies will be paying less than 60% of the total insured damages amounts. Thes clauses amount to anywhere from 1% to 7% of the insured value of the policies, that is not of the damages, but the insured values. Most homeowners are paying from $3,000 on up as their deductable amount on damages that may run $4,000 or less (typical home repairs, tree removals, auto damages, etc.) Had a tornado hit, the deductions would typically run $250 to $500. Once again the reTHUGs score the lotto numbers for big insurance companies.

7. Why shouldn't there be a large deductible?

If you live in hurricane,tornado,flood or fire prone areas and then build in the same place you can expect more of the same.

6. and do you know what i was thinking and God forgive me if I am

misrepresenting an act of nature? this act of nature, falling on florida (or the attention thereof) at a time when it will take many, many minds away from the boy bush's speech, may in some way be connected with a message from God to Bush, as in you will not use my name in vain again, you will not steal the votes again. far reaching, perhaps, but o! God if it were only true.

8. How he handles Frances will probably determine the election

Just like how the first Bush mishandled Hurricane Andrew and subsequently lost the election, this may be his downfall as well. With FEMA having been integrated into DHS rather than being an independent agency, it is very likely that that is exactly what will happen.

9. According to the hijacked text on DailyKos, no mention of Frances
