Dems Question Timing of Florida Storms
 In a statement released today, DNC chairman Terry McAuliffe questioned the timing of Tropical Storm Bonnie and Hurricane Charley, saying that this is just another one of the Republican Party's dirty tricks.

"At a time when our nation's seniors should be worried about the skyrocketing cost of health care, Bush and Cheney would like to distract them with a hurricane and a tropical storm that are supposedly more dangerous than another four years of the current administration."

Liberal muckraker Michael Moore went further, claiming that not only were Bush and Cheney attempting to take advantage of the storms for political gain, but that they "chose to unleash this storm now to draw attention away from the fact that Bush LIED about the WMDs in Iraq."

Moore went on to suggest that the storm was simply a "dry run" for an Election Day plan to hit predominently Democrat-leaning precincts with a crippling plague of locusts.

DNC Chair-person McAuliffe has similar fears. "Bush has taken partisan politics to a new low," said McAulliffe. "I wouldn't be surprised if Bush is planning to unleash a few tornadoes on the midwest as well. It just shows how desperate the GOP really is."

Glad to know a Canadian has our best interests in mind  :aok

Funny stuff RIP :rofl

EDIT:

The Dems are actually saying that Bush is playing politics by visiting florida to assess the damage!  what a bunch of yippers.

I loved his response:  "If I didnt come down here they'd be saying I wasnt doing enough"

So stop it right now Mr. Man.

Well, it was in bad taste, but I have been known to enjoy bad taste humor from time to time.

That being said, I don't think the people in Florida who lost loved ones or are sitting in a shelter because their house was destroyed, would find much humor in anything regarding hurricane Charley right now.

Well geez, look at that.  A bunch of Republican supporters think it's funny.

It doesnt' matter if Republican supporters or Democratic supports that are pulling stunts like this, it's sickening.  Political discourse on this BBS has degenerated into "funny" posts relying on and appeal to redicule fallacy, or smack talk about **** that happened over 30 years ago.

Holy crap but it seems to me that your polical parties have you by the balls.  While you continue playing this damn game you don't even think about other options...as long as the other guy doesn't get in.  Bush and Kerry have more in common than they do differences.  

And I think both will screw up the US more than it is right now.  And cripes, neither are going to do a thing about economic situation the US is in right now, out of control government spending, outrageous trade deficits which will destroy the US economy if nothing dramatic is done about it, nor about illegal immigrants etc.

Golly-geenit!!

Sure, generally the Republicans think it's funny when someone makes fun of the Democrats and visa versa, but rarely does the other party feel that way.  It's devisive BS, that tries to have pretentions to actual discourse.

Thank you.  To answer your question about the hate mongering.  When it comes to these "humorous" posts I find that you are most prolific out of either side of the polical fence.  I find that you when it comes to any sort of political comment on your part, they almost completely lack in any sort of substance but rely on innuendo, sarcasm and redicule.  Your contempt seems patently clear based on this.  I don't know what the hell happened, Rip at least you used to be able to post somewhat objective, meaningful posts on politics...I don't know what the hell happened.

The "funny" (as in funny-sad) thing is that at least one news outlet was reporting EXACTLY what Rip posted as a joke, except the liberal Dems quoted by the news were serious.  In typical fashion though, the media and dems were unable to clarify if they were more upset about President Bush scheduling the storms, President Bush working too FAST to give Florida federal aid, President Bush working too SLOW to give Florida federal aid, or whether it was some sort of secret deal between President Bush and Governor Bush to give Haliburton more business thereby lining VP Cheney's pockets.  Seriously, the conspiracy theory whackos came out in force on this one.

If it was a joke, I'd be all "haha that's funny" but the one I saw was a serious report on CNN.  I guess someone noticed that CNN was playing up to the whackos and the story didn't run more than once or twice, but it ran nontheless.
