Republican Party Convention dilemma
At 1:00pm PST today John McCain said the Convention had to respect the potential tragic situation unfolding from the hurricane and suspend some activities. Then Chairman of the Republican Party Duncan announced a cutback to the scheduled Convention due to the Hurricane now preparing t hit the New Orleans area. (One thing worth noting was that Duncan said, they needed to go forward on certain required topics and one of those actions was the selection of President and Vice President. I'm not kidding. Doesn't he know it is only to decide their candidates, not actually the President and Vice President. Sounds like wishful thinking.)
While listening to McCain I heard him sounding as though he was President. He spoke as if he was in charge of all this preparation. He complemented all involved and said how things were working so well between Federal, State and Local officials. We shall see if his statements prove true.
The Christian Right religious leaders haven't leveled this charge because it is happening during the Republican Party Convention. If it were the Democratic Convention you would be hearing Rev. Pat Roberts saying that God was bringing down his fury because if the policies of the Democratic Party on same sex marriage, abortion rights and other issues that tend to inflame passions. But they are silent today. Very interesting! :))) Well actually Rev. Dobson was praying for a hurricane for last Thursday for Barack Obama's speech at the Democratic Party Convention, according to the Moderate Voice.
I have a cousin who is an official delegate to the Republican Convention. I would love to know what he thinks of McCain's choice as VP. But I have heard nothing. :)
One of the benefits of this hurricane is that it doesn't show the crowd difference and support for Barack Obama as compared to what John McCain will have. He is very lucky to be able to get out of this and he knows it. The press was already talking about the comparisons.

Charles,
You've raised a point that I've been pondering.
Why are people like Pat Robertson and James Dobson so quiet about the fact the hurricane Gustav is hitting on the same day that the GOP was scheduled to begin their convention.
Could it be that they are wondering themselves whether God is sending them a message about: the Bush administration's neglect on environmental issues; their failure to address our national infrastructure issues; the fact that they have spent over $600 million to build an embassy in Iraq but have not finished levees in the Gulf coast; or that they are so in the pocket of the oil industry that they are pushing for offshore oil drilling.
Hmmm!
