The RNC Convention is like a funeral says Thom Hartmann.
It's like they are having a wake. Hey I can second that. Let's hope we are witnessing the death of the neo-con GOP. I'm dancing on the grave already!

2. He's on the radio right now until 3:00 Eastern.
You can stream him on either Nova Radio or AAR radio. My local AAR affiliate carries him.

4. I would be in favor of eradicating the GOP entirely.
Relegate it to history with other long-lost political parties/mistakes.

6. I really think they should be investigated for treason.
They have been operating outside of the Constitution for decades now.

7. I saw that on TV yesterday,
the convention floor was practically empty and there was hardly anything happening. As usual Hartmann nails it!

9. The RNC/GOP is in total shambles. If there was a decent (I) candidate...
..this would have been the year for Perot, or another Independent type. Joe Mentum, Bob Barr, Forbes, any of those guys would garner a helluva lot of votes this year if they had run. Is it too late for an Independent to mount a candidacy????

OR is this Ron Paul's year???? Bet he's getting a second look. He was wise not to drop out of things. Hell.. Palin was listed in one old article as a libertarian, herself.

12. Yeah. America's...
...unfortunately. Here a big reason:



Bush and his GOP cronies have done more to kill the Constitution
and to injure, enslave and imprison We the People
than the NAZIs and the Commies -- combined.

Most importantly: Good to read you, Doña. Hope you are well!

20. Yes, then we can chain it up and deliver it to wherever that
government warehouse was that the lost Ark of the Covenant was stored in the first Indiana Jones movie.

32. Who knows? This might be the last GOP Convention EVER.



The way things are going and considering the total devastation BushCo has wreaked on the USA and the whole world ...
the rethuglican party may very likely cease to exist after the next election. And I for one will be glad to see it happen.
If that band of thieves and liars ends up in jail then they will get what they deserve.
