Decided to tune in for the heck of it.

Watching Ann Romney's speech, getting ready for the fat man from Jersey...

They televise klan rallies now?

Our local paper had a people poll of who was gonna watch.

Some cunt said she wanted to hear Ann because they both had 5 kids.

Really? Uggghhhh....

That's party of the problem with this country, we let idiots vote for nonsensical issues like that, as opposed to what really matters

Chris Christie is pulling a Paul Heyman this evening.

 

[CousinDave]

I gotta say I was unimpressed

Ann Romney did alright and was effective...Christie did fine and had a few attention grabbing key soundbites.

Of course he did. He is the only good thing this shitty state has to offer.

Nah...I spent the first 23 years of my life in that state. There's plenty of good things...ummmmmm...phew.

Exactly. People are whining about having to produce ID to vote?

I'd rather they produce the results of an IQ test.

Nope. Just him and an unlimited pool of sex deprived cougars. Oh sorry I'll get crap for bringing that up by the resident lovers... SOBRIETY!

are they all using teleprompters? Should we be upset over it?

On a serious note... whats the message?

No Porn. No Abortion. No Taxes if you are Rich. No Federal Government. No environmental regulations. No Legal Weed. No Gay Marraige. No Medicare.

doesnt seem like those things ring a note with the majority of the country. Not saying that they dont have their supporters... but it just seems like a little far right to really carry the election. Seems like they've shot themselves in the foot by pandering to the base they already have, the far right, and not those in the center.

Actually while I don't agree with a lot of that it does represent the majority. Quit being an uniformed Douchbag.

Seemed like they played it safe. For all the shit that the Palin pick caused, it seemed to really energize a lot of people. This seemed like your average CPAC gathering. Was expecting a bit more...

No kidding. Nikki Haley just wouldn't flash us though.

Can't be shocked...

MSNBC Abandons GOP Convention During Every Speech By A Minority

One of the left’s favorite attacks on the Republican Party is that it is the party of old white people, devoid of diversity and probably racist.

If you were watching MSNBC’s coverage of the Republican National Convention in Tampa on Tuesday night, you might believe those assertions, since missing from the coverage was nearly every ethnic minority that spoke during Tuesday’s festivities.

In lieu of airing speeches from former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis, a black American; Mia Love, a black candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Utah; and Texas senatorial hopeful Ted Cruz, a Latino American, MSNBC opted to show commentary anchored by Rachel Maddow from Rev. Al Sharpton, Ed Schultz, Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes and Steve Schmidt.

Throughout this convention, Matthews has accused the Republicans of playing dog-whistle racist politics while on scene in Tampa. It isn’t clear, however, if Matthews will hurl accusations of racism at Davis, Love or Cruz for speeches his network failed to broadcast.

EDIT: I apologize in advance for the Hack Hawk Bob-esque double post.

And how are Obama and the Democrats a better choice?

majority? Not so much. I really dont think the majority of the country is for overturning Roe V. Wade, or banning porn, or for allowing companies to polute at will...


quit being a contrarian douche bag.

They're not, they just pretend to care more

Well when you come back to reality you will see they do.

And for the record I don't agree with it. But being someone you actually looks at fact I'm not trying to lie for an agenda.
