GOP Convention 2008: Republicans Screwing Other Republicans

GOP Convention 2008, Minneapolis, MN:

The event site was a ghost town tonight. There are no customers. Even some of the vendors have abandoned their booths.

They're not just gone. They gone crazy. The vendors are furious with the convention sponsor and there's talk of a class-action lawsuit.

2500 bucks a booth and the event sponsor still tries to charge a family 10 bucks for each child to get in. Bravo, idiots. For what? For the privilege of seeing the stuff we want to sell them? Cab fare from the airport hotel is 30 bucks. "Please take my money! Twice!"

If anyone tries to tell you that we're slow because of the Hurricane down south. Don't believe it. The only people who have left the convention are McCain, and Anderson Cooper. I guess it's better to be knee deep in surge instead of neck deep in bullshit.

John McCain's running mate is a politician who opposes teaching teenagers to use birth control.

This same running mate has just announced that her 17 year-old-still-in-high-school daughter is unexpectedly pregnant.

Please allow me to REPEAT THAT IN ALL CAPS:

JOHN MCCAIN'S RUNNING MATE IS A POLITICIAN WHO OPPOSES TEACHING TEENAGERS TO USE BIRTH CONTROL.

THIS SAME RUNNING MATE HAS JUST ANNOUNCED THAT HER 17-YEAR-OLD-STILL-IN-HIGH-SCHOOL UNMARRIED DAUGHTER IS UNEXPECTEDLY PREGNANT.

Ummmm... at a loss for words here.

Yeah. I know it's great that her daughter isn't aborting the baby. That's the "silver lining" for you. Fine. Who cares.

Well what if I took over the country and made everyone slaves in my coast-to-coast gulag workcamp? Would your response be, "Well at least we don't have to cook for ourselves anymore!" The silver lining is irrelevant. I know it. You know it.

The point being made is that conservative values don't work in the real world.

And this will be held up as an example for years to come.

Did I mention earlier that most of the vendors at this event are Republicans?

Republicans are screwing other Republicans in every way imaginable.
