Oh yeah I don’t see this ending well for the GOP.
Our only hope is if people realize the MSM are going too far, and actually think—”You know, Bush isn’t to blame for this, because if any idiot doesn’t evacuate after Katrina...” Palin’s do-it-yourself personality may inspire people.
The only good thing appears that it will hit in more lightly populated area of La.
When presented lemons, smart people make lemonade.
This could be Jindal’s chance to shine. The libs want to hang Katrina around the GOP’s neck forever. They want us queezy every time a storm starts brewing in the Gulf, but this is an opportunity to undo that. Imagine a split screen with Republican governor Bobby Jindal handling the situation. We’re winning the war in Iraq, the economy grew at 3.3%, the oil issue is big/bad for the dems, and McCain has just made a great VP choice. An effective response to Gustov could be the great big cherry on top of the general reversal of fortune that’s killing the Dems right now.
The GOP is not responsible for hurricanes, or what route they take.
Bad news for people is good news to the Democrats.
Probably, If the hurricane hurts the GOP it isn’t the fault of the weather. When the GOP stops relying on good PR from an MSM that hates it, choosing instead good, conservative policy and leadership, things like this will cease to matter.
