Things are about to happen

Post by Sno »

Watching the RNC yesterday, I was amazed on how much the platform changed in order to silence people who supported Ron Paul. Something tells me a revolution has already begun against the current administration and GOP ... :evil:

I was waiting for them to unveil a Ronald Reagan hologram.

I never watch the conventions, too depressing to see all that hype when I know what the reality is...

Part of the irritation there is the weather. Everyone was miserable as hell dealing with the pounding rain for hours.

But that aside, the convention was going to be compressed by cutting one day. You could see the awkwardness in the somewhat conflicting speeches of Christie and Ann. While I also believe all this was a bit unfair to Paul, it was done for the good of the party overall and to move on and get Romney in a good light.

Ron Paul is driven to an agenda he believes is more true to our constitution, which is noble, but he and his supporters are deniers of reality, on several levels, as bad as Todd Atkin.

The only denial of reality I have is thinking people are smart enough to vote for someone who is not a dumb ase.

I have trouble picking out anyone who isn't a dumbass.
They all are to some extent.

That's the definition of a politician. I've never seen one that didn't have the dumbass gene (it's more pronounced in some than in others).

True... We often forget that as bad as we have it, it could still be a lot worse.
