I thought, "I will watch the RNC with a real open, fair mind, and listen" |
|
I figured that would last for the first 60 seconds. :)
Then I heard that Jerry Falwell would be doing the opening "prayer" or invocation or whatever, and my estimate shrivaled to the first nano-second.

They are doing a tribute to Reagan....and every single person on the convention floor will know Ron Reagan spoke to the democrats and that Nancy Reagan just said NO to them.
They will be reminded of this all during the tribute...and they will be very very irritated.
And isn't that alone worth watching?...and laughing about :)

3. yes--that should be fun! |
|
I wonder if Ron Jr. will be doing commentary on MSNBC--reminding people how he has rejected the party of his father and why! That should be quite amusing!

2. This was discussed earlier |
|
Is Falwell really giving the opening prayer?
I can only hope, because that is definitely not mainstream.

4. Honestly I've not confirmed it - so I guess its just a DU rumor.. |
|
..it seems like an insane thing for them to do, becuase he is such a lightning rod for controversy.

5. It'd make a fatal drinking game. |
|
Instead of yelling "You lying, hypocritical fuck!" just do a shot of beer. I don't know about you, but that'd kill me.

I've only seen this discussed on DU, and I haven't seen anything in any wire service.
If it were true, I think it would really be the nail in Bush's coffin.
Why in the world would they go with such a divisive figure like Falwell?

10. As I said - so far it seems to be just a rumor |
|
I agree with you that it seems like a stupid move.

13. I've decided to have media blackout.. |
|
during the repug convention .I have already heard all of their lies far to many times. All year round its like pro repug media , I cant handle watching the misinformed repugs that are just average middle class Americans, who sadly really believe this pResident has their best interest at heart, the ones that truely believe bush to be an honorable person, a man of God ,etc ! They are so very misguided , bush could give a rats ass about anyone else except his country club buddies and the large corps, that are throwing $ at him. What really gets me is the milatary grunts that are backing bush ,who even though he believed his life was to important to take a chance fighting a war, has no problem telling thenm to sacrafice their lives. The vets ,whom he is patting on the back by taking benifits away from, the list goes on and on . It will always be puzzeling to me ? If this guy gets elected (bush) the media blackout will continue till he is out of office.
