Paul Begala was just saying on CNN, if the GOP steals the nomination from Trump...those people

have guns. Democrats would write an angry op-ed if they had a brokered convention that took their winning primary candidate down. But the GOP are a different kettle of fish. LOL!

I get hyper and it makes my manic phase go ballistic. That is when I am posting like crazy and usually get in trouble for saying the wrong thing. I can't help I just feel so GOOD.

... not a pitched battle. The McCarthy kids got their asses kicked.

Remember the massive gun battles at the Dem convention in Chicago in 1968? No...? There's a reason. They didn't happen.

The title of "police riot" came out of the Walker Report, which amassed a great deal of information and eyewitness accounts to determine what happened in Chicago

I don't know where you got your history, but I was there.

My Rs cook me nice desserts. I want them to not shoot anybody but they also like guns. I have gotten two guns as gifts, one from a black republican and one from a white one, both relatives of mine. They go shoot stuff together.


I really am actually a bit concerned that they will do something drastic at the convention. And though we joke, I think we will be horrified. Trump is a danger and Cruz is worse. I am scared of both of them, but at least I live near canada.

battle type protective gear. I think if anything happens it will be like Chicago in 68.. A lot of cracked heads from batons.
