I think it was CNN that reported last week how the Republicans were excited to showcase the oft-forgotten diversity of their party. Excuse me while I laugh uncontrollably. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Oh, man! Heh, heh, he he he. . . diversity! Ha ha ha! Let’s just take a look at some of those various kinds of Republicans (right click to see full-size image):
Now of course, they don’t have to have a certain percentage of blacks, women, or people under the age of 60, but this is just one example of how the Republicans we’re trying to make themselves look hip to the rest of America. There weren’t any diverse rows of Republicans, or any handmade “hockey mom” signs , or any Iraq veterans who would like to end their service with “honor” rather than their own lives .
The Republican National Convention was a play. Act One: Always Put Country First. Act Two: Only Republicans Put Country First. Act Three: Only Republicans Can Change the Unholy Mess the Republicans Created. Curtains close. I throw up.
Even more unnerving than McBush’s yellow teeth or Tina Fey’s diatribe against community organizers, however, was the fact that they stole Obama’s whole theme of change. They tried to assure us that John Maverick and Saracuda Palin were going to “shake up” Washington. As if they hadn’t been in control all along. As if they disagreed with the President 90% of the time. As if we’re idiots.
If giving tax breaks to major corporations, continuing to occupy a country that doesnÂ’t want us there anymore, denying basic civil rights to all Americans, putting the education of children in the hands of private schools, sending more jobs overseas, and drilling for oil while waiting for alternative energy sources to magically appear is change, then IÂ’m Ann Coulter.
And IÂ’m not Ann Coulter.

You missed it? They had representatives from a number of different groups: the Jerry Springer group, the skinheads, the KKK, the Dominionists, the ones who came on the short bus, and there was a black guy. They were so proud of that last guy that they showed him at least a dozen times.
Charles M., you are either a fool, or someone who makes money off of the misery of others. There are no other choices.
Did you notice that he was holding a sign saying "African-Americans for McCain," the same size and letter style as the sign held by the one Hispanic man saying "Hispanics for McCain."
(I didn't either.)
Lastly, I would note that when the DNC convention was airing, FAUX News did manage to find a few delegates who were not enthusiastic.
Democrats who a short time ago honored womanizer Ted Kennedy and who voted in primaries for John Edwards who has a love child, are attacking a pregnant teen age girl. In the long history of politics, no matter how dirty it got, we never stooped to attacking the children - even adult children of candidates.
Those of you who wrote blistering comments about Bristol Palin probably don't even have the decency to be ashamed. Did you read Obama's book? When he was 17, he was taking drugs and sleeping around. His own mother was about 17 when she became pregnant wilh Barack. Did she ever marry the father?
You claim Blacks are not represented in the Republican party. Ever hear of Condoleeza Rice or Colin Powell? You say they don't have a lot of young people or women in the party. But it was young college students who started blogging about Sarah Palin being the right choice for the VP spot. You know where those blogs led.
The Republicans aren't perfect. But in this election they have two candidates with strong proven records of reform. While the Democrats have a community organizer, whatever that is. Barack does not even bother to show up to be a senator. What makes anyone think he can be a president?
Derogatory about her mother, oh yes--she's the one running for office and there is too much evidence of her lack of integrity.
Integrity, you understand, is when you speech and behavior demonstrate the same belief.
When your speech and your behavior demonstrate opposite beliefs--that's called hypocrisy.
Transparency is when someone answers a question without being evasive. The Republican Party hasn't offered any opportunity for questions to be asked of Palin so the voters can be made aware of her stance on various policies and one McCain/Palin campaign staffer, when asked about that DURING A TELEVISED INTERVIEW laughingly said "Who cares?" That doesn't sound very open, honest, or transparent--sounds more like someone has something to hide.
Eclectic Bird, rto make such an arrogant statement on NATIONAL TELEVISION is the epitome of stupidity and arrogance.
Would someone please call Poison Control for Mary Ann? She drank the Kool-Aid....there's no rush on Bird, I think he's gone already.
I guess I'm a fool. Oh wait I charge people for the jobs I do for them soooo maybe I'm making money off of people. I don't know Gary I can't make up my mind but I can see that you've made it up for me so, I'm good.
