RNC Meeting in Hawaii

Claiming its not a vacation while you are wearing a lai...

It is a comedy show, but its leanings are painfully obvious, but of course folks who use it as their primary news source are generally so far gone they don't even see it.

I despair for our country.

Too bad we can't make them return to the mainland in little leaky boats.

One thing that bugs me about the GOP is where they hold gatherings. The convention in the Twin Cities, for example. Why hold these in cities/counties/states that vote D? Why would they reward the people that hate them?

Hawaii is hardly a GOP stronghold.

WTF is wrong with the GOP? Oh, wait. I know the answer to that one...

I remember losing all faith when I received my first national GOP questionnaire.  It was nothing but absurdly leading talking points rather than an inquiry into real issues.  It was quite clear the leadership had no respect for the 'average' voter. 

It breaks my heart but it seems everyone is suffering from what I think of as the Michael Moore Syndrome.  Taking a real issue with problems cognizable to just about anyone across the spectrum and then just shoveling make believe.  No one seems to want to bother with the serious inquiries and discussions necessary to go about solving or alleviating the real problems of the world, our country, or even their local communities. 

:long winded ranting passed on... for now:

I've got studying to do :(

+ eleventybillion.

Hold it in Phoenix, or Dallas, or Salt Lake City, or Boise, or Cheyenne, or Atlanta, or anywhere in flyover America.

I think Hawaii was the choice because they want to avoid hearing from us, in person.  They're trying to avoid protestors both from Tea Parties, and from the left.

Jerks.  Stupid Party Jerks.

Looks like "fiscal responsibility" and "power to the people" went out on one of those "three-hour tours".....  ;/
