Thread Name: BS: Observations of Republican Convention
Subject: RE: BS: Observations of Republican Convention
I have been catching bits of this charade. It is beyond .....I am at a loss for words.

Chris Matthews may have summed it up..."a campaign based on a guy's biography." Fred Thompson gave a day-by-day history of McCain's time in prison...well, almost. Then he said that although 'that doesn't qualify a man to be president, it shows character.'
Right...we KNEW that. He's brave & stubborn. And Palin is ...ummm..conservative and umm.. dedicated...and... and they have Joe Liebermann to vouch for her. (I guess they are gonna keep her...McCain remaining stubborn and refusing to back down after a bad choice)

As the camera pans the delegates, I see guys in suits, looking stern and proper, and 'plain' folk looking like they just ran out of a Pat Robertson meeting to make it to Minnesota. I'm sorry if I sound petty or something..but they DO!! I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. It is just plain startling to compare the laughing, cheering, inspired folks from Denver to this bunch of ..... never mind.

So...sue me. I lost my 25 cents, anyway.
