TAMPA, Fla. – Arizona Sen. John McCain expressed concern Sunday that further weather-related cancellations of the Republican National Convention here could deprive the GOP of an opportunity to make its case to voters.
Speaking Sunday on “Meet the Press,” the 2008 Republican presidential nominee said that the decision by convention organizers to effectively cancel Monday’s session due to the effects of the impending Hurricane Isaac wouldn’t have much harm on Republicans.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. attends a news conference about the Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Thursday, July 12, 2012, on Capitol Hill.
“It's Wednesday, Thursday night that are the big moments,” he said. “It's not that we don't want that first night, but I don't think it will be harmful if we lose the first night.”
But, the veteran senator added: “It could be harmful if we lose more than that.”
Recommended: Hurricane impending, Republicans cancel first day of convention
Republicans announced on Saturday that they had decided to delay the beginning of the convention until Tuesday; the impending storm threatens logistics and safety problems that made it unfeasible to convene for Monday’s activities.
But convention organizers haven’t yet released the revised schedule, and haven’t officially foreclosed the possibility of further weather-related changes to the schedule bleeding into Tuesday.

As things stand, Ann Romney and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie are scheduled to be featured speakers on Tuesday evening. Mitt Romney won’t speak until Thursday, though the formal roll call vote to nominate him for president is currently scheduled for Tuesday.

Does anyone take what this angry, senile, shell of a man says seriously anymore?
Does anyone know what GNOP genius thought it would be a good idea to hold the convention in Tampa during the height of hurricane season?
Does anyone else remember James Dobson calling on his fellow "Christians" to pray for rain in 2008 during the DNC convention in 2008?
It's called KARMA!
Losing time for the homage to Ron Paul would hurt them, losing time for Rand Paul's speech would help them.
btw. Feisty, I emailed you a link ... you'll love it.
I got it and have already passed it around! LOVED IT!
For those who might of missed it yesterday...
Who says the GNOP aren't J-O-B creators? lmao

A whole day off and pockets full of cash! Who is going to clean up that mess? May have to call in FEMA.
No, they'll call their sugar daddies Adelson and the Cock Brothers.
McCain actually believes his statements are profound. It's not the weather, Sir, and no, you can't blame it on God either. The demise of the 'Grand Old Party' will be the result of the obstructionists seated in Congress; those who insist on 'gumming up the works!'
Ya know, this couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of guys. </snark off>
There is a God afterall.
Fiesty, that link is a hoot! Thanks
McCain said the same thing about the Syrian War - the U.S. must enter Syria right away & fight alongside the "Rebels" (which are now aided by al-Qaeda).
I suppose you understand that TheOnion is satire?
There's been many fine examples of their humor. Most (in)famous being Abortionplex piece.
fiesty, i'm a real fan, but lets not take away from sen mccain. he like all others have been dilerbately forced to the extreme right and what a fright indeed. however, its best to honor his accomplishments of the past and let him fade into the future.
obama/biden 2012
Relax, the only thing that could be harmful is if Romney himself doesn't show up to the Presidential election. People are tired of this in this country. We remember how the times were good in the 90's and in the last ten years. It's time for some real change. It's time for some real change.
Obama, who has been taking us in the wrong direction for the last 4 years ---- people, it's just like we were headed straight off a cliff with half mile left to go before the edge, going 80 mph, when Obama gets elected and instead of investigating a possible turn around or hitting the brakes, he stomps on the gas and brings us to 145 mph, toward the edge of the cliff, for the last four years.
(I know this keeps getting repeated but it very well needs to, and even more until the situation becomes completely under control. Trust me, you do not want your entire life savings, which you worked for diligently your entire life, to immediately become worthless within one week because of severe hyperinflation that has set into the dollar. When this is happening, it is already to late to have this discussion. The time is now. If you care about all your life savings...)
Romney/Ryan 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The weather-related delays to the GOP convention may be somewhat harmful to their ability to get their message out to the voters, but the message itself will be outright devastating if American voters ever find out what they have planned for us.
Ya think?
Who would of guessed?
Sorry kr!
McCain of 2012 is not the same McCain on 2000!
He is well beyond his political expiration date and should of retired years ago.
Instead of proving to us he is another member of the GNOP who would sell their mother for a vote!
McCain had the perfect opportunity to push back at the extremists who have hijacked his party, instead he has embraced them!
Actually, the weather related delays speaks volumes to the message that the GOP have been trying to get out that they done give a stuff about climate change nor are they concerned with it. In fact, their entire platform is filled with policies that thumb their nose at the environment and encourage even more emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere. I find the whole thing very comical and ironic if it weren't so scary.
Feisty...for once I agree with you...McCain is well beyond useful and taken seriously...he couldn't even win over Obama so I believe that alone makes him ineffective and irrelevant.
He needs to step aside and let the new leaders of the Republican party step in....Romney, Ryan, Christy, Jindal, Rice, Brown, Brewer etc...this is the rising power of the RNC...Perhaps it is time for McCain to take a rocking chair. How does one loose to Obama and still consider himself a player.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell gets a “Boehner” every time he watches Cantor go down on Koch.
You BetCha…..Fer Sure.
Actually Feisty, it's called God is good!
As to karma, if that's really going to apply here, hold on to your hats GNOP! ( : Grinning
And, if that's what is going to go on, the hurricane would strengthen and blast em. I hold no annimosity toward my fellow Americans, but in my life I have never seen such a cast of characters so full of hate! Remember, we used to work together and that's how this country worked. We had it going on there for awhile after 9/11 but lost our way. I pray to God that America rejects those that missed that lesson!
The link was "priceless"! HA!
Isn't that what they want? When they do make their case to the voters we get incidents like Congressman Akin's.
The GOP has more delays than weather to worry about. Jobs, foreign policy stands, women's rights.
Keep putting it off until when? Certainly past November. Then the surprise will start.
While construction jobs are few and prices are low, this may be a good time to consider building that bunker in the backyard.
McCain was the hurriCane that fizzled in 2008; this time a real hurricane is the trouble again for the GOP
It's not karma! Vengeance is mine saith the Lord. GOP hypocrites beware!!
@hungryhungrygoose:
I'm afraid you forgot that in the last months of 2008 jobs were being lost at 800000 a month. So much for the good Bush times.
Immaterial of the GOP convention, let's hope for the safety of those being impacted by Isaac. Let's not forget that there are good people in its path that will be negatively impacted.
Prayers and well wishes for them.
2012 is proving to be an extraordinary election year.
Romney is playing dodgeball with the issues, making the mistake of thinking that being INSIDE THE CIRCLE is somehow 'WINNING THE GAME' while being forced by circumstance to spend most of his time trying simply NOT TO GET HIT.
Obama is on the rim throwing balls at Romney while failing to comprehend that beyond his circle is yet another, larger circle comprised of the electorate.
We, the electorate, are throwing balls at both Romney and Obama, but unwittingly, only Obama has his back turned to us. The problem for Obama is that even the balls aimed at Romney can take him down en route.
Mr. Obama, turn around on occasion and check what we're doing. It would be a shame for you to be knocked out of the game simply for focusing too completely on a captive target.
Actually the GOP couldn't be happier because the storm means that the role call, the actually nomination of Romney, will be had with little or no press and the Ron Paul supporters were planning on making a scene and as Ann Coulter has said (I have heard other Republican pundits say this on other Sunday morning political shows, but she was on This Week on ABC when I heard this first), "Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line," so that would of been peculiar embarrassing.
With God sending a hurricane down to Florida to stop the Republicans there's no questioning who side he's on now. :)
Now that's funny!
...the numbers for Bush's last three months. Between October and November, 597,000 jobs were lost; between November and December, 681,000 were lost; and between December and January, 741,000 were lost.
Dec 29, 2008 U.S. corporate earnings fell for a sixth-straight quarter, the longest streak in at least 20 years, as consumer spending on automobiles, homes and retailers collapsed.
Officially over in 2009, the Great Recession is now generally acknowledged to be the most devastating global economic crisis since the Great Depression. As a result of the crisis, the United States lost more than 7.5 million jobs, and the unemployment rate doubled—peaking at more than 10 percent. The collapse of the housing market and subsequent equity market fluctuations delivered a one-two punch that destroyed trillions of dollars in personal wealth and made many Americans far less financially secure.
Hurricane Isaac is posing another unanticipated threat to the Republican convention; the GOP Convention organizing committee apparently didn't order enough of its "OFFICIAL GOP CONVENTION FULL-COVER RAIN GEAR" in order to have a set for all of the delegates, and the contractor says they are running out.
A few sets are still available, so Republican delegates, get yours before they are all gone (One size fits most) :

"McCain: Further delays to GOP convention 'could be harmful.'"
Nonsense, bushwah and folderol!
It will give Mr. Romney time to carefully plan his "platform."
Then change it.
Then repudiate the changes.
Then change it again.
And again.
And again.
Until that golden moment when it's "perfect."
And he can change it again.
And again.
Is it just me or does anyone else see that God has spoken and does not want the Gop to win the election by stopping their Florida Gop convention? I know if this happened to the Dem Convention that's exactly what those Christian Conservatives would be saying. It's Gods will.
Turn baby turn!
Generally, I doubt whether that convention runs 4 days or 2 weeks It would have any effect on the ultimate outcome of the election. Romney and Ryan are both trying to tote each others water with a sieve, and relying on phoney driven polls to help them with their various piss poor illusions. Much fewer than what is being reported are buying, and the Media knows It. Likely, most know It.
Obama/Biden 2012!
Those are your leaders? Those are your best??
Wow. No wonder the GOP is a POS...
Barack Obama has:
Signed the National Defence Authorization Act (NDAA) Bill into Law allowing any US citizen to Be Detained WITHOUT trial (A federal Court Blocked it in May because it Violates the Constitution, but Obama is not trying to get it UNBLOCKED!).
He has Killed HUNDREDS of Innocent people (Including 3 American Citizens) in Pakistan and Yemen with Drone Strikes (He's Ordered even more drone strikes than Bush!).
The rate of National Debt under George Bush was Around $60 Billion a Month. Under Obama, it's been $190 Billion a Month, so that would be Nearly $600 Per US Citizen (Thanks Obama!).
Obama Care: Page 22. MANDATES, The Government will Audit Book of ALL Employers who Self Insure. Page 50, Section 152, Health Care WILL be Provided to ALL Non US Citizens, Illegal or otherwise. Page 126, Lines 22-25, Employers Must Pay for Their Part time Employees Health Care AND Their Families. Page 127, Lines 1-16, The Government WILL Tell you How much Money you can Make.
Obama has By-passed Congress to Enable the DREAM Act (Unconstitutional to By-Pass Congress, and the Illegals he allowed to become Legal Citizens has Committed over 19 Murders and Over 142 Sex crimes).
Obama Claims he Campaigned in 57 States (Maybe he wasn't Born in this Country?).
I'm NOT a Romney Supporter, but I would say Vote anyone BESIDES Barack Obama. And if Obama Gets Re-elected, buy Guns.
Along with every other Republican and most democrats when 911 happened. By the way, that was going on during Bushes term.
Every war kills hundreds of innocent people, thats why Democrats don't like getting into wars. However, when we are forced to take over a war that a Republican President started, we reduce the amount of American deaths. Thousands of Americans have died during Bushes 2 wars and your faulting Obama for 3 American deaths due to drone strikes. Hope Obama keeps up with drone strikes instead of putting American soldiers on the ground in harms way.
Wow, you really can't figure things out can you? Yes it was less under Bush, but remember, Bush kept the bubble afloat just long enough to drop the whole bursting thing onto Obama's Lap. Since then, anything Obama tries to do to fix it the Republicans try to block. Oh and When Clinton was in office before Bush, there was a surplus. Forgot to mention that didn't you.
Congress gave Obama no choice, but to work around them since they say no to everything he tries to do even if it's something the Republicans want. Just to make the economy look bad under his watch, they don't care about the American famillies suffering just so they can make Obama look bad. As far as the illegals go, now that so many Presidents have done nothing to stop illegals from entering the United states, there are too many of them doing jobs you won't do that you can't kick them all out. I agree with making them citizens, especially the children who where born here and don't know any other life.
And maybe your stupid too. Everyone makes a stupid statement. This is just one for Obama against the 20 or so from Mitt Romney and even more from his Republican GOP party.
And now you have proven your stupid. You would vote in Mitt Romney who will make you pay more in taxes while he pays less, Take away your rights as a woman to decide what you can and can not do with your own body, take away your social security you have been paying into all your life, take away your medicare and give you vouchers wich don't cover the bills, and remove restrictions on big businesses so they can more more jobs overseas and ruin our natural habitats. Wow, stupid is as stupid does.
It's amazing to me so many people trying to say that Romney will turn when he becomes President to this radical person we wouldn't vote for if we had known. How about Obama? He hasn't told the truth about anything since he has been in office. Has flipped flopped so much it almost makes you seasick. I really thing McCain should be like Huntsman and go to the Democratic Convention and give his speech it would be appreciated more by them.
@hungrymongoose,
Our life savings were gone before the 2008 election, our real estate was worth less than we owed and our job outlook had been cutoff at the knees. It's funny to me that conservative tools like yourself are sounding the siren for the wealthy who are about to feel the pain that the rest of the country felt 6 years ago. Too damn bad. Time to pay.
Obama/Biden 2012
So the Monday evening festivities have been canceled for the NOpublican Convention. This could be a positive for Flip-Flop Mitt. It means the teatards, birthers, flat earthers, religious fanatics, mindless dittoheads, evolution deniers, Fox noise cultist, conspiracy theorist, gun crazies and all around whacked out loons will have one less day to make fools out of themselves during prime time in front of the entire nation. But then -- it could be a negative for Mitt. He will have one less day to change his mind.
txmom said:
Couldn't agree more. Romney couldn't beat out McCain for the nomination in 2008. You have foreshadowed the election outcome. Thanks for the confirmation.
Does anyone take the GOP seriously? They've finally seen the light, the less they say the better off they are. The more Willard/Paul talk, the more ridiculous the GOP looks. I'd say they can't look anymore ridiculous, but every time I say that they prove me wrong.
They're prepared to outdo thamselves one more time Mo, just as soon as the weather lets up!
Thanks Senator McCain for that astute political advice. You know another thing that would really be harmful to the GOP? If they were to nominate some half-wit reality-show-wannabe governor for VP that couldn't name a major newspaper that they read on a regular basis; thank heavens nobody would be dumb enough to ever do something like that because that probably wouldn't turn out very well.
Well let's have a look? McCain a loser, a war monger an most likely a liar about his 'heroic' stint in the prison in Viet Nam, clearly an ego maniac and oh yes did I mention WAR MONGER ?
Now what was the question? Oooh yes who really cares what this phony, never held a job in commerce, industry or trades, never had a paycheck from anywhere except OUR GOVERNMENT has to say about anything?
He screwed over his first wife who before her accident was a beauty for a younger model with plenty of money. Is he an opportunist you may ask? Naaah he is just a male whore looking for ego gratification and a chance at living high on the 'hog'..
McCain the loser is the best possible POSTER BOY for TERM LIMITS, drug tests, IQ tests and financial accounting that will ever be seen.
He actually believes his press releases. He is a serious accident waiting to happen. We nearly had him in the Oval Office and if so it can be safely assumed America would be knee deep in THREE wars which are none of our business.
Don't forget that he single handedly nearly destroyed the USS Forestall because he did not FOLLOW THE RULES. And as the great carrier burned he went 'below' and watched the attempts to save the lives of a dozen seamen who actually dies because of the fire and rescue the ship on CCTV. As soon as that was over thanks to his Admiral Grandfather and Father he went on 'shore leave' to Hawaii with a writer who paid for the trip. Read the details on Wikipedia.. it is quite revolting.
Was there a question? If so why? Who in their right mind whether a republicat or a democat would ever want advice from this loser?
Look at the picture of him, he needs to resign and go play golf in the desert, I'm sure he has hobbies. I give him credit for one thing he selected Sarah Palin and that turned out to be firing holes thru swiss cheese. And she is still an amusing member of FOX TV, that reinforces my belief in never voting Republican again.
McCain is not a hero!He spent most of the war as a prisoner! A hero is someone who risks his or her life to help someone! Did he do that?!! He is a TRAITER!! He was so intent for Airbus to get the contract to build the tankers for the Airforce! There are so many American out of work and that IDIOT McCAIN was willing to give thousands of jobs to EUROPEANS and OUR TAXES would pay their wages!!Someone should shove McCains head up that IDIOT Sarah Palins ASS!!
What's funny is who WILL NOT be at the NOpublican convention. George W. Bush won't be there. George H. Bush won't be there. Sarah Palin won't be there. Dick Cheney won't be there. It seems the NOpublicans hope everyone forgets their past.
@model railroad man: I am glad to see someone else bring up Senator McCain's actions regarding the tanker contract - although it seemed to me that he was more driven by the influence of a foreign partner in his home state than anything else. He started out raising valid points about the leasing arrangement, but it turned into blatant lobbying for a particular company that was a major donor and that's where he hurt his credibility. His actions and repeated letters to the DoD, never-ending requests for information, and shady legislative tactics delayed the execution of this contract long after the decisions had been made. He's a funny guy on late-night talk shows; perhaps that's where he should move his career to.
Ah, the "hand of god" reaching down to "smite the hypocrites", it's almost biblical. LOL
The only reason they cancelled Monday is because Ann Romney was scheduled to speak and the networks weren't going to cover her.
Isaac was the feared father of Jacob, the deceiver.
Or, something like that...
Ann who? Oh, the whiny quit picking on us about our taxes Ann Romney? Whatever.
I would guess that not many will watch Ann Romney no matter what night they put her on. I'm not watching any of it. The group is so out of touch with reality. I have nothing in common with any of them, especially Mitt and Ann Romney. I give a damn about the 99% because I am proud to be one of them. I would love it if things were better, but you vote these hypocrites in, and it will never happen. I can sleep at night. I wonder how many of them can?
couldnt agree more.
...and for the record, I am not on welfare, state or federal aid of any kind. Have only collected 5 weeks of unemployment in my lifetime and I turn 50 in September. I have rhuematoid arthritis, but I still work two full time jobs, am taking two college level classes per semester the past 3 years, and participate in several outside groups to raise money for homeless and food pantry. So don't dare label me as someone who sleeps in my parents basement and looking for a handout and about entitlement. I have worked my butt off since I was 15..got a work permit so I could wash dishes for $2 an hour as a sophmore in high school to buy my first car. So when I say I'm in the 99% does not mean that I have not worked my entire life. My house needs work, I drive a 5 year old car and my clothes aren't the latest fashion, but I am happy and I'll say it again...I CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT!
Geo- listen to me, you are the example of many of the low income or moderate income people that work, and how they make ends meet. It's the FOX TV yah hoos that lead everyone to believe that people on any form of entitlements are lazy bums, that's Shaun Hannity and Bill O'Reilly with out of touch so called conservative journalism.
@Geo- Welcome to the world of most Americans.
But if you listen to fux up noise and you were white living pay check to pay check you would think there was 200 million black people living off welfare and social security.
My mother raised us with very little while asking for assistance from the government. Out of the 4 of us two of us have college degrees, wives, a house and kids. Your average America dream. The other two was in and out of jail while doping their bodies up for 30 years. The health issue they have is beyond pale. I say this because we as individuals have a choice and if someone in our family or out side of it makes a bad choice we all pay period.
The repuks would have you to believe it's someone else fault. If a drug dealer tells you i have the drugs you need, you would do two things. 1) If you had a habit you would take the drugs. 2) If you know you don't need it the dealer would tell you his drugs are better than any one else just try it. Although you tried it before.
We tried the bush policies and found out we as America can not afford
Does anyone really care about either convention, except the drunken bunch that attends? For the rest of us, it is a non-event, and certainly not something that influences our votes.
I hope we don't hear some of the repukes males got raped.
The only reason most of them are going to Tampa any way is so they can spend someone else's money.
Lets face it God,Jesus in particular was a full blown Liberal,hung out with the poor,the sick and all the outcasts,you know all the people Rightwingers/Teabaggers; HATE!!!!!! This is a oman from God GOP:lose the hate,the greed,the bigotry and help out the most unfortunate,not the most fortunate! Mitt Mr 1% and onlyl for the 1%. Totally against Gods teachings! Repent GOP,repent! Hell is the destination for the greedy,self centered,bigoted GOP and their supporters! Repent before its too late!
TONYWARVET...Hallelujah!
Why stop there? If it wasn't for all those left wing radicals that signed the Declaration of Independence, we'd all be singing "God Save the Queen" at crickett matches right now.
Yes, the GOP are anxious for the country to see their women-hating, gay-hating, minority-hating platform. They are all for individual responsibility -- as long as it means your family, not theirs. I am so tired of all their hate.
I can't even watch the news anymore. I don't know whether to be sad or angry. Rubio is on right now talking about how the world should become more like us. Yeah, this is what the world aspires to. Take that, Sweden! In your face, Australia! Good grief.
Sorry, I meant to say that I'm so tired of all their self righteous hate.
I know the feeling NFIL, I'm a real news junkie, but the repititon from the Republicans make it a waste of time. They have their script, memorized it well and repeat opten. Mitt's "jokes" aren't funny especially when he brings up the birther thing and says it was a "joke"..sure it was. It's "funny" when he back stabs the President but it's no joke when Romney still won't discuss his federal tax returns, his so called retirement from Bain and insists that he has no control over his blind trust. Lies, lies. I'm waiting for the brave reporter who will pin Romney on these subjects and delve into or not whether Romney thinks God lives on the planet Kobal, the purpose of the fancy underwear and if he thinkks that he too cluld become a god on his own planet. If the Republicans can ask personal questions, it should be OK for them to answer some of their own. This convention will be just a repeat of all we have already heard on birth contol, abortion, gun control and trashing health care for the poor and elderly to put more money in the wealthest people's pockets.
The 2008 convention was shortened the same way by Hurricane Gustav. Is someone sending a message to the self proclaimed "party of God"?
Jeanne, you and three of my politics junkie friends, too. None of us can stand it anymore. I was going to get rid of my Netflix subscription, but now that is what I turn to for background noise. The Romneys are whiny, entitled and out of touch. And Ryan, goodness, he almost froths at the mouth. Reminds me of Bachmann with the crazy eyes. I just can't stomach even seeing these characters on TV anymore even with the sound off. It makes me ill. They make GW (with Cheney) look good. And McCain needs to retire. IMO he used to be respectable and now he shills for these people. Sad.
Your're right NFIL, in all except "they make GW (with Cheney) look good. Although tax free Romney/Ryan are at the bottom of hell's pit, Bush/Cheney are still far below them--They murdered tens of thousands of innocent people in illegal wars for their own hatred and for the religious hatred of their zealot "Christians."
Where are your taxes Willard?
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012, ABSOLUTELY!
Yeah...look at all the Republicans spewing hate right here on this thread. <sarc> And you people have the nerve to call others hypocrites? I belong to no party, never have, never will, but I know who I'll be voting for, and it won't be for the party that does nothing but deflect, point fingers and call names.
Why the media will not call out Propaganda?
Know someone is lying and not calling them out on it.
What does that tell you?
Were is the truth in news? What happen to it? Why no more honest reporters.
I think they've already made their case to the voters. Quite clearly, in fact. It's probably not the case they wanted to make. As a female there is no way no how I can justify voting for a party that would force me to carry a baby to term against my will even if my life is at risk or if I was raped, that is ok with me earning less for the same work because I happened to have been born female (nobody asked me), and that thinks I should be subject to their patriarchal religious ideals. To be clear, I'm not voting for the Democrats, I'm voting against the Republicans.
The thing is, they only want you to carry the product of a rape or incest. If it happened to someone in their family, the story would be very different.
You betcha! Especially if the rape occured on the bible belt South!! And even more so if the rape was across racial lines. The girl would be bundled off post haste to the closest discrete abortion provider. With these bible thumping, self important,,rightious bunch, the rules are for other people. God will understand and forgive them next Sunday.
Well they need you to carry that kid, it has to be a boy, and then suffer through raising him to 18 (or 16 with parental consent) then send him to an un-needed war where he is killed at their hand, but given a "thank you for your service". Really, how can these people live with the hypocrisy they spout? It doesn't make sense and usually that means there is more that they aren't telling us. Do not vote for something that doesn't make sense or follow it's own values.
The good news is: there will be more time for these wonderful Christian :family values: GOPers to hang out in the Tampa strip joints and get lap dances and BJs!
Yes the hookers and strippers better make sure if they get raped by a GOPer,that its a "legitimate " rape!
I think the vast majority (99%) have already made up there mind as to whom they will cast their vote for. Nothing said in this windbag charade (aka, the Republican Convent) will convince anyone to vote for the fraudulent Morman Bishop Romney.
Remember GOP convention attendees: no birth control can be used! its against GOP policy! If you get a hooker knocked up it's yours! You will be expected to raise little Tyrone until he's 21. And Tyrones dad is a MUSLIM!
Feisty, thanks for sharing! That was frigging hilarious!
The case has been made-McCain needs to worry about Jan Brewer deciding to secede Arizona from the union.
That would be fine as long as she takes Texass with her!
Brewer had to fly in early to Tampa on her broomstick - Isaac is such a bastard!
Maybe Brewer will get lucky & laid.
Who else but a whiteracisthatingfearmongeringbigotedprunefacedpervertedoldwhiteguywhothinkspalinishot or a male hooker would sleep with her?
At the GOP convention there will be a lot of bible banging,and banging of hookers and strippers. If you get a hooker or stripper pregnant,remember no abortion! Its against GOP policy! Enjoy the little one! What will you tell the wife?
Just the thought of a Republican getting banged by a bible or a hooker makes me want to throw up in my mouth.
Mitt-isms:
"I saw my father march with Martin Luther King"
(later admitted that not true when confronted with the facts)
"I'm running for office for Pete's sake, we can't have ILLEGALS" (Oct. 2011)
(to firm hiring staff for his Mansion(S))
"I'd tell you, but I don't have one of those Magic Pens like they do on Men in Black where
I COULD WIPE OUT YOUR MEMORY"
(mitt 4/2/11, republican Jewish Coalition)
and of course, there's Mitt's "I Won't Detail Plans, Because Then I'd Lose" stance -
"One of the things I have found in Previous elections is that ANNOUNCING MY PLANS makes People want to VOTE AGAINST ME."
And, incredibly (but true) Mitt says: "DETAILING our MEDICARE PLAN would be SUICIDAL"
(which begs the question: WHY would ANY politician want to offer a "SUICIDAL PLAN"?)
Mitt's found an answer to everything though...
'WE'LL TELL 'YOU PEOPLE' AFTER THE ELECTION"
(but if I wasn't running for office, of course it wouldn't be a problem)
When Republicans at their 1996 convention, en masse, followed the lead of one of their most ardent racist propagandists, then presidential candidate Pat Buchanan...
...in a chant that chided then President Bill Clinton for his Vietnam deferments, chanting "Where was Bill?"
...Today the same question (and an even more important one) could be leveled at Willard Mitt Romney...
...who received the same deferment from service in order to bicycle across France and spread Mormonism...
...thus, the chant "Where was Willard?" is appropriate, and...
...actually has a more urgent connotation when tied to his most important claim to the presidency...
...his business/jobs creating acumen...
...If Willard Mitt Romney is such a great jobs creator, why is the American economy and jobs picture in such dire straits?
...if Willard can magically create so many jobs, why hasn't he? Why does he have to WAIT until he becomes president to create jobs?
...When the American economy was taking a nose dive, and we were hemorrhaging 750,000 jobs a month under the criminal Cheney-Bush junta...
..."Where was Willard?"...
...I'll tell you where he was...
...He was helping to invent outsourcing, then, hiding his profits in offshore accounts in the Cayman Islands, and Switzerland...
...He was leading Bain Capital's efforts to acquire companies, leverage them (load them up with unnecessary loans and debt), raiding their pension funds, then bankrupting them, and laying off their labor force!
How could ANY sane, working poor or middle class man or woman (White, Black , Asian, Hispanic or whatever)...
...vote for low life scumbags like Willard "Tax Cheat" Mitt Romney, and his pal Paul "Killer of Medicare, Forcible/Legitimate Rapist" Ryan?
INTTELIGENT AMERICAN VOTERS MUST DEMAND TO SEE WILLARD'S TAX RETURNS!
Obama-Biden 2012!
For principled, competent leadership that respects the needs of the working class!
God does not exist if the topic is Homosexuality, But if a hurricane is going to hit the GOP National Convention it is Gods Intervention? You Liberals are a Riot....
Clearly satire and irony are not your strong suits.
Nor are facts. (Liberals say god doesn't exist in relation to homosexuality? What?) Not kowtowing to laws written down in Leviticus by a bunch of dudes thousands of years ago (and rewritten many times for political reasons...ahem...King James), doesn't mean all liberals are atheists. It just means we can think for ourselves by observing and drawing conclusions. You know, the "elitist" and "intellectual" stuff the RWNJs are always harping on about due to their own fears of inadequacy.
NOW THIS IS FROM A TV INTERVIEW WITH THE LAWYER THAT QUESTIONED MITT UNDER OATH WHEN HE WAS MAKING A CASE THAT HE ALWAYS FILED AS A MASSACHUSETTS RESIDENT.....
" I have always filed as a Mass resident when in Utah running the Olympics, Take my word for it". When he was shown a copy of his tax returns that listed Utah as his residence of record, Mitt said that must have been a mistake, and that he didn't read his tax returns, he just signed them. This was testified to under oath, when pushed further about his statement about always filling as a Mass resident he relented that the firm that does his taxes made a mistake and he would correct it by filling an amended tax return. Mitt was also questioned as to why he was given a tax benefit on his Utah resident by filing as his residence of record. Mitts response was the clerk must have made a mistake and just given him a tax break because he was helping so much with the Olympics; the lawyer said ... "kind of like a reward?" Well yes, Mitt responded.
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! You just can't make this stuff up!
dragon, can you prove it? or are you just making it up?
theezle....do a bit of research.
Dragon, theezle did research it, on fox!! I can watch only a little while or until my head is about to explode. They never ask any questions about stuff like this, only about how the liberal media "twists" things. By the way, theezle, why did the romney admisistration buy all the hard drives after he decided NOT to run again for Gov. of Mass.? Could it be because they would have revealed some questionable e mails or damning information? His communications were also "absent" from his tenure at the Olympics.
I had read this too. It seems Romney has very creative accountants. And tell me..what kind of good,smart businessman signs important papers, like tax forms, without reading them?? How intelligent is that?
McCain is so dumb he honestly doesn't know that Barry has no fewer than 4 people in his administration that have very close ties to the Moslem Brotherhood, and have for decades, and even went so far as to make an assssssss out of himself in front of Congress when he foolishly berated Bachman when she presented them with a comprehensive and factually accurate report describing these realities ... there are children that know more about what is going on in the world than this senile windbag.
Time to refill your meds.
You BELIEVE Bachman, Panther!??Good grief, the woman is a paraniod nut cake....certifiable and getting worse all the time. I'll give McCain this, he may be getting old, but he has always had a sense of truth and honor about him, even though he was foolish enough to let someone talk him into Sarah Palin for VP. which cost him the presidency. I have to respect him for speaking truthfully when the occaision demands it.
Bachmann is a certified lunatic and bottom feeder along with being a class A hypocrite who decries government programs while her AND her husband's whole livlihood depends on government programs for their million dollar incomes!!!
You seem to be in need of a general checkup from the neck up...
To all 3 of the above posters ... Bachman did not create the information she was reporting on you blathering half wits and the information contained in her report has been a matter of public record for quite some time.
It's grotesque that you bottom feeding societal parasites are so lazy you can't even perform the simplest research tasks ... pitiful.
We just listen to her blither away on FOX about the President having no leadership as opposed to the previous president that had misguided leadership and see she is a slight lunatic that is quoted above, with her anti-government rhetoric. She was one of the first to bow out of the GOP campaign due to her advisors unraviling and jumping ship, so how does she run a country when her campaign was falling apart at the seams, so she did us all a favor and GOT OUT. Let her concentrate on representing Minnesota, I'm sure they have their own problems.
What happened to being able to handle these things? Isn't the proud party of boot straps? Lame just like they usually do if it some one else call names, if it is them it is an act of GOD.
Would not vote for one of these jokers if they were the last people on earth.
I was at a clam bake last night sitting next to a group of people and the discussion naturally turned to politics. These were all white people, I would say in the mid to late 40's. There were 6 in that group, 3 male, 3 female. I hate to say it but I did listen to the conversation. All the men had the same opinion, Romney is "plastic", they could not relate to him, and the women HATED him. The one comment that got me from one of the men was that this election is not about taxes, it is about income or the lack of it. This guy apparently owned a business and he said it was not taxes he was worried about, it was income. I don't know what kind of business but he said he is having a hard time because there is not much money coming in, nobody has money to spend. The women were just beside themselves over the abortion issue and birth control. One of them said she is so creeped out that Romney is so concerned about her sex life, and the men just shook their heads in agreement. There you go and the best part is this county is so red it is blinding!! By the way, I live in Ohio and the vote here is being threatened by-- guess who--the republican run state government.
Hmmm...demand drives the economy. Taxes and regulation costs impact all "sellers" more or less evenly and, consequently, may be passed on to customers, without much fear of market share loss. And, IF that begins to occur, it would be recognized as "inflation," to be corrected by the Fed through raising interest rates.
True. There is no demand and hence no income because the middle class doesn't have any disposable income anymore and the wealthy classes horde their money or spend it anywhere but in the US economy.
Johnny can read the writing on the wall. He read it once before.
Boo Hoo, Storm is not much more than a rain event for Florida despite the media hype. Maybe they should have held it in another city during hurricane season!!
I am sure the crooks that are already here can make use of their extra down time, I hear plenty of hookers are in town and they all have a GOP special with the bad economy.
This is why Norquist wants Mitt as president....someone with 10 digits who signs what is put in front of him....seems Mitts been doing that for decades.
From the Rachel Maddow show:
I like how he slipped in those weasel words, "to the best of my knowledge and belief".
He doesn't get it. You sign it, you are responsible. Period. Like, the buck stops here?
The term "Smarmy" comes to mind.
