this convention will go down as the worst of all time

A bunch of dull speakers.

Much of their slogans based on a quote taken completely out of context.

Kicked out the Ron Paul delegates.

Chanted USA USA during a speech from someone from Puerto Rico and other racists acts.

The VP speech will be remembered for having a record # of lies.

Clint Eastwood was made to look like a senile baffoon.

And we havnt even heard from Mr Gordon Gecko yet.

That Gecko is cute, and funny, and I bet he would make a better candidate than Rmoney. That Gecko is more human than Rmoney.

with the music and crazy hats and buttons and all - Thugs and Dems.

This is creepy and mean spirited. I guess it reflects the top of ticket.

focus on tangible solutions. Just a bunch of mud slinging. If they had meaningful solutions someone would have discussed them.
