McCain and Palin will be in Mississippi tomorrow ahead of Gustav. Some may see this as PC, but it is what leaders should do.

I am from Mississippi and have family there 120 mile inland. When President Nixon visited after the destruction of Camille (to the Coast) it touched many hearts, the same as when President Bush visited the Mississippi Coast.

Please pray for those in the path of Gustav. It is predicted that what was not destroyed by Katrina may be by Gustav in New Orleans. Baton Rouge and surrounding areas will have hurricane strength winds as well. The storm surge and winds will be east of the storm, the worst possible path for New Orleans and the Miss. Gulf Coast.

Governors Jindal of LA and Barbour of Mississippi are doing all they can to get people out of harms way. If they choose to stay in NO and in the path, they stay at their own risk.

I hope that this storm will be weakened, and people will be safe (unlike the despicable Michael Moore who hopes for destruction).

The GOP Convention is not going to be about speeches and fluff, it is going to be dealing with this storm and helping fellow Americans.

Michael Moore is scum and loves barack obamaAug 31st, 2008 - 09:05:38

Michael Moore showed us once again how the left has hijacked a natural disaster and turned it into a political football.

Appearing on Keith Olbermann's wretched show, the first word's out of Moore's mouth after Olbermann asked him about the potential postponement of the RNC were 'Gustav is proof there is a God in heaven.'

Navywife - what is the point of praying ? If your fictious God wanted to listen, he/she/it could have avoided creating the storm in the first place

No, because the world isn't perfect, nor was it intended to be. That will come in Heaven!

...what harm does praying do? The problem with folks like you is that you treat atheism just like a religion.

For once I have to agree with you. The same goes for all those people who try to be different because they don't want to conform and end up being a group conforming anyway!
