Things I Learned from the GOP Convention
Mitt Romney had a little get together in Florida this week with some of his closest angry white friends. From this convention, I learned a few things about the Republican Party. Okay, maybe not learned them, maybe I just had the ideas reinforced.
- Republicans believe in the individual rights. I cannot stress how important this is to the GOP base. “Damn it, I can do what I want when I want and no government bureaucrat can tell me otherwise.” Except in the case if you have a uterus, then those pesky government bureaucrats have free reign. Long live individual rights (unless you are a woman)!
- Republicans believe in America – the United States is Number One (Numero Uno in 2016). Republicans believe that the United States is so great they want to invest their money here, but if they can get a better deal in say a Communist country, that’s even better. So, I learned that Republicans money is not patriotic.
- The Republicans don’t know how to run a presidential campaign anymore. I don’t know what happened and why they’ve pushed Karl Rove out to pasture, but that dude could kick some serious ass. So the convention is over and people of the United States are not talking about whatever Marco Rubio said in his introduction of the GOP candidate or what Mitt Romney said in his speech. No, America is talking about an old man and an empty chair. The national GOP is slowly becoming as inconsequential as the Delaware GOP.

… and hooray for that…
Actually, an old man talking to an empty chair is the perfect image of the Republican Party.
I forget who said it, but the money quote on that was “an old white guy arguing with an imaginary Obama” was the perfect summation of the campaign so far.
Nemski, if that is what you learned, you completely missed the lesson, at this point I can only assume you made poor marks in school as well
Challenge: I watched GOP convention on MSNBC which I am sure most Liberals on here did as well. Hosted by Maddow, Sharpton, Shultz and the little tinkerbell guy. There was no attempt at neutrality or fairness on their part. This week, will be watching DEM convention on FoxNews. The challenge is for DELiberals to do the same and compare the coverage of the conventions by both networks when it is all done. Should be interesting to see which network is more fair and balanced.
yet it will be no surprise which one “you decide” is more “fair and balanced”
You assume a lot, duty. I watched the GOP convention switching back and forth between channels (CNN, FOX, MSNBC, ABC, etc.) and will do the same for the Dem convention.
MSNBC did not cover the RNC well.
And, gold standard anyone? Lol.
If you did not watch the convention on pbs you did not see the convention. They are the only ones who showed all the speakers. I kept trying the other networks, and all they were doing is comentary while thespeeches were going on instead of showing the speeches
Rusty, you do know what etc. means, right?
the same thing a socialism right?
LOL!
