John McCain and Airhead Palin take great pride in repeating the claim that John McCain is a maverick, but those days are long gone. John McCain sold his soul to get this chance at the White House, and threw his principles out the window in the process.

How did the affected counties vote in 2000 and 2004?
(Remember that hurricane damage map that purported to show that all of last year's hurricanes in Florida were hitting "red" counties?)

Living in a "red" part of Florida, I note that the entire state--thanks to the Electoral College--went "red", as did the entire south, where, miraculously enough, most hurricanes in the Gulf hit. (HT to Sister Margaret's 5th Grade Geography class!)
Like most states, the highly urban areas tend blue... if Miami gets hit, or Tampa, or Orlando, then maybe it's just a righteous God still drilling the lesson into the clueless. If it's rural or small town, then maybe it's wrath.
But I thought the New Testament did away with that rath thing....

I think we're getting used to it. Hurricane forms, go to Home Depot for plywood, hit grocery store for water, beer and supplies, then make pacts with friends and relatives that whoever gets the power on first hosts the slumber party. After last year, its a routine.

Living in Orlando (blue), that whole "hurricanes only hitting red" idiocy was false (and annoying) on the face of it. We got directly hit by *three* hurricanes last year, and the worst-hit areas around here were mostly Democrat.

Hey, just so long as this thing stays to the east, I'm happy. Sucks to be Pensicola or Mobile, but y'all will still exist after a Cat-4 hurricane. Not so much with New Orleans if we were to.

Look on the bright side.
God will stop punishing America once it repents of its liberalism. Then, the frequency of hurricane strikes will return to its historical normality. Consider Dennis a friendly reminder from the Creator of All Things that there is no time like the present to repent.
