There may be an uninvited guest at the RNC convention next week...

[Not Me]

It's gonna be nasty in Tampa...

[LynneSin]

1. With all this pro-rape talk from Republican idiots - Isaac might be a welcome change

Seriously!

[Archae]

2. It would be redundant.

There will only be a lot of blowhards there that are all wet.

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. God almighty mst be sending a message

I am sure a few preachers would agree.

[villager]

4. God -- She is speaking!

[DonRedwood]

5. How can the WRATH OF GOD be considered uninvited?

[nanabugg]

6. Poor Cuba. I hope they are ready. My heart goes out to them. Life is not easy under embargol nt

[Arkansas Granny]

16. Actually, Cuba has great hurricane preparedness. The US could learn something by

following Cuba's guidelines.

7. Once he sees how many guns they have, he'll turn and go somewhere else.

[Jackpine Radical]

8. It's obviously God's will.

She no doubt can't resist the opportunity to cleanse the world of a concentrated batch of scum.

I can only hope it's a "surgical strike" with no collateral damage to people who don't deserve it.

[1StrongBlackMan]

9. It's (President) Obama's fault! n/t

[PearliePoo2]

10. Why would the Re-Thugs choose Florida...

during a PRIME storm potential window?

[WestSeattle2]

11. We once had a repug nominee for governor, Ellen Craswell, who on

every Gay Pride parade day when it rained, would say God was expressing his disgust by making it rain. She was silent the years it was sunny and 75 degrees on parade day. Just goes to show how freakin' insane these people are.

I wonder how the thumpers would spin a hurricane slamming into Tampa the days of their come-to-Jee-a-zus meeting.

[LongTomH]

12. Cancelling or rescheduling the GOP CONvention would be a major impact for Tampa's economy!

The hookers, strip clubs and houses of domination would be devastated! However, it really wouldn't have a big political impact.

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are the nominees. Delegates for Ron Paul will not even be allowed in the door of the Convention Center.

As for the Repub platform: Well, that will be the Ryan Budget, plus whatever the whims of Their Satanic Majesties, The Brothers Koch dictate.

[hughee99]

13. Look out Repukes, Isaac is coming for you

I wonder if it's because they've angered god?

[hollysmom]

14. NOOOOOOOOO

I'm at the beach - don't let republican's ruin my vacation!!!!

[DawgHouse]

15. We could use the rain

We could use the rain but I hope it's nothing serious. Here's a bit of trivia: The name Isaac means "the laughing one". :

[librechik]

17. what a shame The Lord will rain on their parade

I think they should think of it as an omen.

[IggleDoer]

18. I'm sure some of the delegates will seek shelter at the local strip clubs.

They seem like sturdy buildings.

[JaneQPublic]

19. Help me remember: Didn't a hurricane disrupt the 2008 RNC?

I believe they were in MN that time, but because the gulf area suffered damage, they didn't want to reprise the lack of engagement that the GOP was notorious for during Katrina.

At least that's how I remember it.

[Lifelong Protester]

22. Yes. They cancelled or delayed something

because of it. I haven't had time to google it, but I recall it was used as an excuse to not do something.


ETA: It was Hurricane Gustav. The Repubs delayed any real "politicking" until after Labor Day because of it, they instead wanted everyone to be focused on helping those hit by the hurricane. After their in power party's fantastic response to Katrina, they didn't want to look 'unfeeling' . Like that could EVER happen...

[Lifelong Protester]

20. They'll use the hurricane as an excuse

to not do something, not have a certain speaker, ignore the issues, whatever. They did that last time too.

[Cleita]

21. They'll just postpone it or move it.

I just want it over with and done.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

23. You know, Pat Robertson might be right....

and if that's the case, I want all of you here on DU to pray really hard.

That includes you, atheists. Admit it. If a hurricane struck Tampa next week you'd believe just a teensy little bit, wouldn't you?
