The Republican National Convention (RNC)

[Master]

I associate Republicans with guns, anti-abortion, less central government administration and very religious.

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 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.

I'm thinking of doing a drinking game where I take a shot every time Bush is 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.

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.

....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?

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.
