Romney Speaks

So we squeezed into the Xcel Center in time to catch Mitt Romney’s speech—there he is! doesn’t he have great hair! if we were a little closer we might be able to see if his magic underpants created VPLs!—and people are clapping and clapping and clapping and chanting “USA! USA! USA!” And Romney—who spent how many millions of his own money trying to get the nomination?—is telling us that it should be completely and blatantly obvious hat John McCain is the right man to lead America now.

But somehow this wasn’t completely and blatantly obvious to Mitt Romney back when he spending millions of his own money trying to make sure John McCain wasn’t the Republican nominee. Anyway…

“We need change alright,” Romney says, “change from a liberal Washington to a conservative Washington! Throw out the big-government liberals and elect John McCain and Sarah Palin!”

Because, hey, if there’s been anything wrong with Washington over the last few decades it’s been a lack of, um, conservative elected officials.

And, man, this is brazen. The solution to our social problems? “Homes with family values,” and children raised “in the presence of a mom and a dad!”

Yeah, those opposite-sex parents. They’re magic, aren’t they?

How'd the RNC manage to fill so many more seats, today? Paid seatwarmers?

Same sex? Ask these people:

"Log Cabin Republicans today announced its endorsement of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for President of the United States. Log Cabin’s national board of directors voted 12-2 to endorse the Republican nominees for President and Vice President. Log Cabin announced the decision at its “Big Tent Event” during the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis."

Gawd. Listening to that man made my blood just about curdle. The refrain of "liberal" as if it were an obscenity made me want to shake him by his lapel and remind him that it means GENEROUS. Fucktard is right.

John Bailo, why do you and your comrades in the Red Bushie Party hate America and our core values of Truth, Justice, and the American Middle Class way of life so very much?

P.S.: I'm seeing all the old white folks at your convention, but very very few who aren't white - or old.
