You all know the RNC took somewhere between 18 and 50 million (we've yet to see the total cost of all the security and law enforcement operations in Tampa, but they've already got 18 Million for the convention itself) of the tax payers' dollars to hold a convention with no purpose, there was no vote to be had, no talking to be done, no parliamentary procedure, Robert's Rules of Order thrown out the window. They could have saved us all a lot of money and time, and just made Romney/Ryan the ticket without putting all the taxpayers through this circus.

This doesn't count the costs of several millions more of the party members' money in Caucus states, and the States' money in Primary states, to hold caucuses and primary elections...

Public grants of $18,248,300 went to each of the major parties for their conventions in 2012.

Still pissed that your boy Ron Paul couldn't cut it I see, time to grow up, he wasn't wanted!

Now we're clear!

Out of your 411 posts I don't think I have ever seen a positive one. :blah:

Now we're clear. ;)

What a sham.

Hopefully people save that and bring it out 3 1/2 years from now, maybe a 3rd party will really get a shot.

Why not, its not their money?

It's your vote in the primaries that's just been arbitrarily tossed aside. The top people of the Republican Party just effectively said - fuck you, we know better than you. The only thing you are to them is a number in the General Election, where they're banking you hate the other guy more.

I can understand that in order for a nominee to have a chance, they would have been needing to campaign for months by now & too much divisiveness at the convention will detract support from the presumptive nominee. But, stripping your rights as a voter isn't the right fix. IMO, the RNC is in shambles right now.

2 Others ran & it's not even close, Obama rapped it up back in April. The problem is the RNC sees a problem coming but they've already thrown their support behind Romney, so they steam roll over all others.

Way cheaseball move, pretty much undermines the integrity of the process. Who's steering that ship?

Racey,

Not everyone follows this kinna stuff the way that you do. I don't follow it at all!

But I did watch tonight and learned a lot about Mitt. Things I was unware of.

It was well done and geared to people like me. Not guys that are into it the way you are.

I heard additional tax cuts for business, middle class (not to mention ones he's already proposed to the upper-class) & real-back previous cuts to Medicare. How do you cut the deficit, fuck if I know, maybe he's going to empty his own bank accounts .. LoL

I'm pretty sure it won't be his bank accounts that get emptied:D

The thing I don't get is why these guys all get up there and spew bullshit (either party) were all big boys and girls tell the truth, cold hard facts and reality how ever unpleasant it may be to hear.

Not geared directly at you, so don't take it personal, but this is how a lot of the public is, they watch the dog and pony show up front in the stadium, but don't care to see the animals whipped behind the scenes....

The entire debacle has exposed the core principles of those controlling the GOP, they care nothing of honesty, or integrity, they only care about one thing, Power.....


I've been following the convention hourly for the entire week, the shit that has gone on there makes me ashamed to be remotely associated with the party, they have shit on everyone that doesn't suck up their propaganda, they care nothing of issues, they just want complete and total control, no dissenters, no discussion, this is the way we will have it. And scamming the tax payers to the tune of tens of millions to pay for this horseshit, how's that deficit going? Oh nevermind, i guess since Obama's still in office the blame for this can go on his tab.... :rolleyes:

Politics is about nothing other than power. I've seen it first hand at my local city council meetings! What's right doesn't matter. What matter most is someone's personal agenda, and who they can get to back them on it. It's sicking at every level.

Obama makes me sick. Id prolly vote for anyone other than him!

But I'm well aware no one in politics is perfect.

Truth is, you and I have nothing in common so I really don't care how you perceive me.

Enough with those negative waves.
