Re: The Republican National Convention (RNC)
I associate Republicans with guns, anti-abortion, less central government administration and very religious.
Re: The Republican National Convention (RNC)
Now for the DNC....near my home town....near enough that I worry about riots, you know how the dirty liberals like to party, like Chicago in 1968.

The religious part is true, "Christian Conservatives" make up the majority of those who generally vote Republican. I suspect however that most U.S. politicians aren't nearly as "religious" as they claim to be, the thing is, if a politician doesn't belong to a church or claim a belief in Christianity/God, they couldn't get elected to dogcatcher here in the U.S.. I do think Romney is being genuine about his Mormon beliefs, either that or he's the greatest actor who ever lived.
America is really divided right now, not just politically and by demographics, but there's also huge social and ideological differences.

The DNC starts Tuesday Sept 4th and goes through to the 6th in Charlotte, NC. I have no plan to watch any of it, i'm sure that most of it will be a divisive, hate filled slam against Romney and the Republicans.
Every queer/liberal actor and airheaded actress in hollywood along with Oprah, Sharpton, Jackson et al will be showing up to shower their clown with adoration, it will be enough to gag a maggot.
I do plan on watching the Presidential debates beginning in Oct., that should be good theater, and could decide who gets elected.

I'm thinking of doing a drinking game where I take a shot every time Bush is blamed for every failure of the Presidents term. It might get ugly.

RIGHTFULLY blamed for every failure of the Presidents term. It might get ugly.
Did a little editing..... hope you don't mind. ;)
And maybe I'll join you. I doubt you can drink two tanker-fulls of alcohol.
Re: The Republican National Convention (RNC)
Personal accountability is lost characteristic these days. What I love about this election is Obama isn't running on his record or what he is going to do in a second term but rather scare tactics about a return to Bush policies (as if we ever left them) and Romney isn't running on his record or what he would do in specifics but rather scare tactics about Obama policies.

Yeah but unlike Obama, Romney/Ryan have however outlined a pretty good plan to create jobs and jumpstart the economy. Obama seems to be saying that his plan is just more of the same shit that's already failed.
Re: The Republican National Convention (RNC)
....anyone else find it the slightest bit odd that the Democrats have chosen NOW to tell people about Barry's life? I mean where the fuck was this 4 years ago? When Clinton was President old girlfriends (or mistresses showed up in bunches), his wife's legal career was questioned, friends were questioned, shady deals were brought into the light. When W was in office the media dug deep into W's past asking questions about his service in the National Guard, his involvement in Skull & Bones, his grades at Yale, his DWI. With Obama we get Rev. Wright "Don't ask about that", Bill Ayers "He's just a neighbor-like acquaintence", no grades, no students from the classes he taught, no exgirlfriends, no former professors, no nothing......which tells me either Barry has something to hide or the dude is a total dick and no one likes him.

I think it is fair to say Ryan has a plan but Romney has yet to say he fully endorses it and still speaks in generalities. I'm not really interested in what Gilligan thinks. What is the Captain going to do (specifically)? The ACA is a great example. Ok, I get it, you want to repeal it. Then what?
Re: The Republican National Convention (RNC)
Sad days when elections become NOT who you want to win..... but rather who you want to lose.
Big difference.

Everything about Obama's past is strange, ever notice how they keep info about his white mother rather secretive, she's rarely mentioned.
Re: The Republican National Convention (RNC)
If Obama wins - In 2016 things will be the same with the same complaints from the same people.
If Romney wins - In 2016 things will be the same, but the complaints will be coming from the other half.
sooo.... I'll see you guys back here in four years with everything exactly the same....
Should be fun!

NO, because the African-American community is tied to the Democrats irrationally so. People often wonder "Well why do the poor white people vote for the Republicans who cut taxes for the wealthy bosses that laid those people off?" and I wonder "Why do blacks vote for Democrats that continually uses them as pawns, keeps them poor, and dependent on the government?"....also I'm noticing you left out how Mia Love's wikipedia page was hacked and she was called a "House Nigger" amongst other very hurtful, hateful things....is that a Republican calling her that or more likely a Democrat Kirkland? What of former Democrat Senator Robert Byrd? It was highly unlikely he was a racist right? He was just in the KKK due to polictics, that's what President Bill Clinton said, but then again DEMOCRAT Bill Clinton also raped a black woman, and he also said "A few years ago this guy (Barack Obama) would be getting us (Clinton and Ted Kennedy) coffee" but the media doesn't much care for that story do they Kirkland???
Also the FIRST Female Latina Governor in United States history (Republican) talks and what is shown on ABC??? A dickweed Pro-ILLEGAL Immigration anchor from Univision talking about how Republicans should accept the DREAM Act and how they need 33% of the Latino vote and not the 31% John McCain got. Marco Rubio will speak tonight, and I'm certain he'll get no credit for being Cubano just as Governor Nikki Haley got 0 credit for being Native American......oh but Elizabeth Warren is Native American, you know, high cheekbones and all :vd:
I do love how easily the word "racist" is bandied about by these self important water carriers for Obama
Chris Matthews and MSNBC Now Claim the Word 'Chicago' Is Racist | NewsBusters.org
So I would suggest you take your accusations of racism by the Republican Party and fuck right off with them because the Democrats are up to their necks in a history of evil racist deeds
Lindsay Graham is a GOP Senator of long standing in your neighbouring state. He knows what he's talking about, there just aren't enough angry white guys out there for the GOP to remain competitive in the long term.
Bill Clinton raped a black woman?
I won't bother asking you about the policy stuff because you don't know anything about it.
And as far as racism goes, the GOP's electoral strategy since the 1950s has been appealing to racists. Here's Lee Atwater, the Karl Rove of the 50s and 60s admitting this :
Atwater: You start out in 1954 by saying, "
Nigger, nigger, nigger." By 1968 you can't say "nigger" — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like
forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me — because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "Nigger, nigger."
