"We take off our Republican hats and put on our American hats," McCain said by satellite television hookup from St. Louis, where he had just returned from a tour of Mississippi areas potentially in the path of Hurricane Gustav." USA Today
So...where is the great outpouring of GOP concern for Ike and Texas? I did a google and can't find anything out of the GOP in regards to this storm. Seems everyone has pulled their Republican hat down to cover their eyes and walk away. No donation stream....no quasi military videos of GOP governors...nothing.
Meanwhile gas prices are spiking across the country without a word out of Buscho and associates:
As Hurricane Ike barrels down on Texas, the impact is being felt in other parts of the country as the oil industry comes to a near halt and reports of price gouging start to spread. ABC news
So the GOP only cares about Hurricanes when it comes during a convention as a way to steal the news cycle is the only thing I can see....
No surprise here I guess...if you have an oil president and vice president and two wannabe's as well in the same party....
