Hurricane Gustav may have given the Republican National Convention a less celebratory, more respectful tone, but that doesn't mean the RNC will be completely devoid of fun.

The convention party scene was revving up in Minneapolis last night, and GOP revelers weren't hesitant to take part.

St. Paul, Minn. — The convention's first day may have a somber tone, but take boisterous rocker and Republican leaning Sammy Hagar at First Avenue, add more than 500 GOP conventioneers and you've got a party on your hands.

In this case, it was a private bash for Republicans from southern states. Even as some delegates headed back home to the Gulf Coast, Walker Rutherfurd of Mobile, Ala., had a clear conscience about staying and rocking to Sammy Hagar.

"I'm worried, but hurricanes are nothing new," he said. "Life goes on. You do what you can to prepare, then let God take care of the rest."

What would be the difference if Gustav had hit during the DNC? NOt much likely. I bet there are still going to be backyard Obama Volunteer parties while Gustav is hitting and afterwards. If we are not completely devoid of fun and parties, then it's dangerous for us to point fingers at others who also aren't.

sort of thing.

It's hard to NOT hate these people.

Otherwise, out of respect for our soldiers dying over in Iraq/Afghanistan....ALL FUN IN AMERICA would cease: No NASCAR, NFL, NBA, PGA, etc etc....no bowling, no drinking,

Didn't parties continue during WW1 and WW2?

Woohoo! GOP!GOP!GOP!
