Maybe you should share a link to a relief organization for your fellow Floridians instead of just whining? Sorry, but how in the heck do you know that they are going to “ignore” it? If they did NOTHING to acknowledge that Gustav is going to hit during the convention (as you seem to want them to) how would THAT look? Partying while people are dying? Did the DNC even MENTION the flooding in Florida (serious question as I don’t know if they did).
The one thing I DO know is that the DNC promised protesters CLEAN DRINKABLE WATER at the convention, and didn’t deliver even with MONTHS of planning time. 54 people were taken to hospitals during Obama’s announcement of Biden in Springfield due to dehydration and Heat stroke related problems - why? Not enough water available - what water they did have was being sold for $2.00 per cup. And they have the nerve to say that Bush didn’t do enough to get water to the people in N.O. despite the incredible logistical challenges?
To ignore Gustav during the convention would not only be morally wrong, but political suicide.
DITTO.
