How many repubs would have given their life to go to the Convention
Edited on Sat Sep-04-04 04:27 AM by moof
These figures are meant to be conservative, chime in if you feel they are inflated anywhere.

According to the media there were about 50,000 convention attendees.
That is roughly one third of the people that are risking
their lives every day for bu*sh in Iraq.

The convention lasted 4 days.

Every day there are roughly 3 people from the U.S. being killed for bu*sh in Iraq.

If all the people so willing to have others die for bush in Iraq
were as willing to die for bu*sh while at the convention and the rate had actually been met, One person per day attending the convention would have died for bu*sh.

That's only 4 people over the four day event out of 50,000.

So how many of these brave patriotic people would have still attended if they knew for sure before going that 4 of them would be coming back home in a box?

After all the odds are worth it right, "only" one in 12,500 would die.

Cripes if only the value of a human life
could be gotten thru people's thick skulls.
