Hey I have heard that RNC is having trouble filling the convention

[lovuian]

with people that Minnesota hasn't got any people to fill it...and that they can't even pay them to attend

that whoever chose this spot they now regret it

they are looking for an excuse to cancel the location and using Gustav as the reason

anybody else hear that one

[ingac70]

1. It's right up the street...

from where the I-35 Bridge collapsed.

A symbol of how Repukes spend like crazy on everything except necessities.

[dysfunctional press]

2. they aren't going to cancel.

not this close to the event.

[madmax]

3. But they have Gustav for cover. n/t

[Ikonoklast]

4. I thought the very same thing yesterday

Caught a minute of Fux Snooze while paying for fuel and the chattering ninny was explaining how one could get a floor seat, right down in front of the podium.

I thought, WTF? They don't have enough bodies to fill the seats?

[lovuian]

6. Bingo thats what I had heard too

Its not like the Democratic one

Its pretty obvious that many Repubs may not show up this year for election

and Bush and Cheney don't want to be booed while they speak

Gustav is their cover

[lonestarnot]

19. All those boooooooooos. They will be music to their ears before we are done with them.

I hope prosecutions are waiting in the wings!

[notadmblnd]

5. it wouldn't surprise me.

One thing I've noticed is that in all the pictures/videos of McCain and crowds, the camera never pans out. I'm thinking they are going out, collecting 15-20 0f the homeless, giving them a set of duds and some food in exchange for showing up.:shrug:

[lovuian]

8. I bet they are paid and do you notice they just stand there

like robots

[notadmblnd]

10. yeah, they probably giove them a cash bonus for showing up

and keeping their mouths closed. I figure it's so others can't see that they don't have any teeth.

[Curtland1015]

7. Don't worry, they'll fill it.

They're busing people in from all over the country.

If that doesn't work, they'll be out on the streets promising the local hobos a bottle of Jack each if they come.

[lovuian]

9. we will see

we will see

[ullad]

13. It's Karma I tell you.!

[Wilber_Stool]

11. No but,

I read yesterday that they were going to change the way cameras covered the convention. Instead of using long shots, they were going to bring the cameras on to the floor to give a "more intimate" view of the proceedings. Sounds like a B-movie crowd scene to me.

[malaise]

12. I believe that because they're sure using Gustav

as the big excuse for an anticipated flop of massive proportions. Now the coastal politicians are staying away and so are delegates from those states.

[EFerrari]

22. CSPAN1 is showing live shots.

I hope this is right because if there five miles of footage of an empty hall, it will be harder to pretend this race is close, right?

[lpbk2713]

14. Any military bases nearby?

Military personnel will be ordered to attend. That's
what BushCo does. They're told to applaud on command.

[VermeerLives]

15. Perhaps a rock concert might draw more people

And Gustav could actually work to their advantage.....think images of McCain and Palin in NO. Obama and Biden better get down there quick to upstage them.

[lovuian]

16. I'm going to be interested to see what the Ron Paul

group does will if Bush showed up I think they would have Booed him and that on TV would have looked bad

Bush and Cheney can't even trust the Republican crowd anymore

plus the demonstrators are giving the hell
Lov those guys and gals

[lonestarnot]

17. OMG bwwwwaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ROFLMAO again!

:rofl: CONs a getting their dues this week. Should we send snot rags?

[ddeclue]

18. Haven't you heard? John McCain gets literally DOZENS to attend his rallies...

DOZENS..

20. ROFL

:rofl:

[L0oniX]

21. That's not true. They should have no problem filling it with tons of shit.

[WA98296]

23. I believe it, maybe they could fill it with evacuees.

[Love Bug]

24. Yet they keep calling us a "swing state"

When is the last time MN gave it's electoral votes to a Republican? Hmmmm?

I don't know anyone who's excited about the R convention being here. Sure, we're happy for the merchants who are going to make some bucks off of it, but to everyone else it's just a big inconvenience.

[dkofos]

25. Maybe they should invite the protestors in. That would fill the place up.
