OMFG This is unbelievable!
The National Review is calling on the GOP to hold it's 2008 convention in NO! Have they no shame?

The next asshole that says the word "politicizing" is going to get punched in the face.

2. national Socialist Review - the latest fascisti news ...
Edited on Sun Sep-04-05 07:06 PM by msongs
at least they are thinking ahead. the DEMS are pretty much doing nothing except wetting themselves in their hidey hole (hyperbole I know but is there evidence of any other activity?).

37. I don't know, but they ARE totally out of touch with the sentiments
of the American People. No way would right wing nut jobs of the Rush Limbaugh ilk be welcome in NO for eons to come.

Poor ignorant bastards ... they really have no idea how much "the world" is disgusted with their selfish power grabs as well as their seemingly endless greed.

5. I would LOVE to see that!
I have a feeling the folks of New Orleans wil have a very long memory about that has happened to them -- that ones still alive after the latest Bush fiasco, that is. I want to see the GOP try to hold their convention in that town! I want to see the massive demonstrations that would bring about!

35. I thought the same thing.
We can hold the protests outside the city and let god deal with them.

7. Can you see them having it at the convention center?
They have no qualms about walking on the backs of others and using their suffering for their own selfish wants.

I hate these fuckers :grr:

12. At least they'd get the city rebuilt
in a hurry. IT's going to take more than 3 years to rebuild NO.

Go for it. Without political motivation, they will drag their feet at doing much of anything.

Rebuild the city. Then we'll vote every last one of you out of office.

Works for me.

16. They should have their convention on live feed from several locations,
so as to commemorate the best moments of the Bush Administration :

New New Orleans : Reminding us of their heroic pleas for the "patience" of Tens of Thousands of dying citizens, the vast majority of them TAX PAYING citizens & the working poor. Special salute to KBR for rebuilding contract through 2045.

Boogiefuck Mississippi: See above. Don't forget the "Blame the Gov. of Louisiana Party", where she and the Mayor of NO are "roasted" for damage they exacerbated in THREE STATES! What mighty, awesome powers!

Crawford: Where the Bush Administration ignored the August 8, 2001 PDB

NYC: IMPORTANT--the Convention must begin on September 14 , to commemorate GW's "inspirational" appearance at Ground Zero in 2001.

Baghdad: "Bring It On" Fireworks Show, midnight.

other venues to be announced as they're booked.

22. They just want to prove how much they like dancing on graves.
Edited on Sun Sep-04-05 07:21 PM by ET Awful
They did it in New York and danced on the graves of thousands. . . now they get a chance to do it again.

They can call it the Gravedance On Pontchartrain convention, gives GOP a whole new meaning.

The GOP lets a city get attacked/destroyed and then they act like they want to support them.

25. Someone here suggested the Dems do just that
N.O. would actually welcome the Dems! Last time the repukes had their convention in N.O. was Poppy Bush's coronation in '92. Service people like cab drivers and waitstaff all said the repuke delegates were the worst tippers they'd ever seen.

And for them to show their ugly mugs down there now, after this! Oh, the horror! It would make NYC last year look like a pleasant picnic in Central Park.

30. Katrina would be the Main topic and it would HURT them.
It would just remind the country how badly it was handled.

The GOP isn't looking like Hero's in all this. Not at all.

32. Yeah DO IT
can't wait for them to look at their Black servant (butler, waiter, etc) and go.. "Say, this water tastes kinda funny.."

"oh, that's because I saved it from the Hurricane that killed my brother that you did nothing about, it's full of yummy chemicals of all varieties, most of which are tasteless, but you are pretty much guaranteed, all 50,000 of you Repugs here to be running to the shitters for the whole time you are here, and within a few years you'll be dying from Leukemia or something worse.. would you like some more GUMBO, it tastes a little 'funny' too.. we have a new cook, and his MOTHER died in an attic with water up to her neck - he's white and so was she, until the temperature of the tiny space her head occupied in the attic got up to 150 degrees and roasted her face.

..More Chicken ala CHEMCO?"

33. No I think this is a great idea
Think about it. If they do this, you know the city will be repaired by then. The people of NO get their city back, better than ever. This is a great idea.

36. I don't think so.. If anything
they will have fixed up only the places they need. I'm sure they are already making plans to only build enough affordable housing so they have their service people living nearby. NO is not going to be the same city anymore. These people are screaming that everyone who says the response was a disaster is politicizing the relief efforts. Then they go and do this?
