the RNC was a train wreck

i am getting old, and i have watched NUMEROUS political conventions. this one absolutely was a COMPLETE DISASTER for the neo-cons. i'm sure anyone who was on the fence about which party to vote for will decide to vote democratic. they showed no leadership qualities, they inspired NO ONE. anyone with a half of brain could see this was going to be GEORGE BUSH all over again

Re your reference to "anyone with half a brain."

Think of how dumb the average person is. Now realize that half of them are dumber than that.

Even Republicans I've talked to are embarrassed about it and don't want to discuss it LOL.

were not impressed either. Watched about 5 minutes of the coverage on CNN after the convention ended. They were interviewing a group of "undecided voters." IF the reaction of these voters reflects undecideds nationwide the Romney is in trouble.

I only caught a couple of minutes of it. A couple of the people were as undecided as the were coming into the convention and one decided to vote for Obama.

And the Dems are like herding cats? Of course, you may have noticed that nearly all the things that the Repubs are supposed to be good at just at ain't so (fiscal responsibility, national security, love of their country...)
