It is to laugh. The poor Repuglican Party can't find a city to hold

[reprobate]

their convention. Chicago, San Diego, and now Seattle turned them down.

Look in This Thread

[Kerrytravelers]

1. They also have Los Angeles on their list.

We don't want them here. If they come... we'll be ready for them!

[melody]

8. No way they're coming to LA

I think even the Bubble Boy is bright enough to figure that one out.

[im10ashus]

87. They came to NYC.

So anything is possible. :shrug:

They had their hands full with protests though. :-)

[Talismom]

88. Yeah, and I had a real blast at that protest! One of the best ever! n/t

[melody]

112. You guys were caught unaware, though

We've got the anti-Arnie forces ready for them. They're the ones that clobbered his stupid "initiatives" in the last selection.

[im10ashus]

135. If they do go to L.A.

Use it as an opportunity to show you are fed up. Take it to the streets.

[melody]

145. Oh, trust me, they'll feel like the Indians are attacking the wagons

Because they will be. lol

[KharmaTrain]

2. Why Not Bay St. Louis, Mississippi

The city is a ruin...a perfect symbol of what one party Repugnican rule is all about. But have no fear, conventioneers...the casino boats and hookers will be very open for business.

[pitohui]

6. the casino ain't open yet

and hookers? at bay st. louis? c'mon, that place was a meeting hall for the older crowd and often couples, not the hooker crowd

but if they wanna come and spend their $$$ fine

[liberal N proud]

3. They could always hold it in Saudi Arabia

I am sure the Royal Prince would enjoy their presence

Osama could even attend

[joeunderdog]

147. How bout at The Ranch. We'll give them all guns and throw a quail

into the mix. First guy to hit it gets an unbid contract in Iraq somewhere.

[MADem]

4. Bet WACO would take them

Or someplace in Alabama, or maybe Alaska. One of those states where they don't totally despise the regime....

[gilpo]

99. Or Idaho!

[SaveAmerica]

121. Don't forget Poland...

[northofdenali]

129. We'll take 'em up here...............

put 'em on Attu island, take away their boats and planes............ and let 'em swim out. In winter. Without dry suits.

No, even as red as this state is, the convention would have a very hard time dealing with us.

[proud patriot]

5. I wonder if they'll ask San Francisco

:-)

[WhiteTara]

29. you are so funny!

I can just see them asking! :rofl:

[wryter2000]

36. They do have SF on the list. Honest!

The local news interviewed Gavin Newsome about it the other day. He was mildly amused about the whole thing. He said he'd "take it under consideration."

I'd love for them to get serious about SF so I could watch freeper/fundie heads explode.

[liberalhistorian]

42. LOL! Just imagine the kind

of greeting they'd get in Frisco, or "Man Francisco" as the freeps love to call it. And just imagine O'LIElly's reaction, wouldn't that be something to see? I think it'd be the first instance of a head actually exploding on live TV. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[WhiteTara]

46. Yes, it would be great fun

to watch them up close! But I don't think they could stand the heat. Now Sacramento might be another story. The Boobengroper might welcome them.

[NuttyFluffers]

107. ooh! it is wise to keep our friends close and our enemies closer.

it'd make protesting all the better. so close to home, it'd be a fun lunch break. and think of the dirt we can dig up with all the prostitution! :D could probably snag a dozen or so prominent republicans caught with LGBT sex workers. mmm, scandal and blackmail, delish!
:evilgrin: (not that that would ever happen, mind you...)

[proud patriot]

108. LOL

see you think like I do :think:

[Blue Belle]

54. Why not?? They asked Portland, OR.

I haven't laughed so hard at the news in a while... and after this week, that's sayin' something!

[melody]

115. Oh, my friends in Portland would LOVE to have them come there :)

The liberal community would be there with bells on.

They don't want to be in Portland anymore than they'd want to be in LA, San Francisco, New York or ... come to think of it, any major city.

[Mme. Defarge]

140. Aren't we know to them

as "little Beirut"?

Heck, Portlanders protested Bush Sr. when he came to town during his presidency.

[melody]

144. Yup, little Beirut

Which is the reason my husband and I are retiring there. (Well, actually to US Vancouver, but it's close)

[Dervill Crow]

142. They did?!

I'd love to see the welcome they would receive here in "Little Beirut."

[NanceGreggs]

7. Why not Mexico, China or India?

That way they can visit our old jobs while they're in the neighbourhood.

[EFerrari]

75. Yemen. They can visit with old friends. n/t

[Yupster]

120. Outsourcing was my thought too

Think of how much they can save on labor costs.

[Kolesar]

9. You linked a great article in the Seattle PI

I recall a thread on this earlier. Cincinnati is the most repuke metro area in America. Why not there? There's strip clubs and whores galore across the river in KY to "service" the self righteous conservative residents.

[Maeve]

10. There is talk of them coming to Columbus

That should be fun :eyes:

[Hissyspit]

11. Ha!

I would laugh more if they couldn't find a way to corrupt our country and government any more.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. Understandable. Who'd want packs of THEM creeping around their city?

Conventions always bring in a lot of money, but you'd also get a bunch of pasty, flabby white guys looking for hookers; flabby, pasty white women with Purple Heart bandaids, spittle-flecked evangelists, and nerdy-looking College Republican types wearing elephant hats with trunks that look like... well, you remember. On the other hand, there would be excellent opportunities for some kick-ass demonstrations and protests.

I'm sort of hoping they choose Minneapolis. We've been thinking about all the fun we could have.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=160x17066

[DetroitProle]

13. they need some jerkwater burg

Cheyenne, Wyoming? Boise, Idaho?

Someplace in the real "heartland"!

[f-bush]

94. How about Bagdad!

Since they've won the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people and declared "Mission Accomplished" what a better place to show the country how loved they really are!

[Kerrytravelers]

14. Heard on Air America they also have New Orleans on the list!

Can you believe that?

Perhaps these gentlemen, their family and friends will be there to greet them to town.

[Dr.Phool]

19. Yeah, peak hurricane season.

I can here the residents now.

"We couldn't get rid of the Republicans, but god did it for us".

[hunter]

38. Or Florida...

Talk about tempting fate!

:evilgrin:

[LuCifer]

57. OH HELL NO!

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no NO!!!!!

KEEP THOSE BASTARDS OUT OF MY STATE! We get enough troll tourists as it is!

Lu

[bluedog]

86. Tampa is trying

even the democrat(?) mayor.pammy.....thinks it would be good for the city......yuck.....

[teknomanzer]

104. Miami is being considered...

Heard it on NPR... Miami cops have Jackboots so it'd be a perfect fit.

[LuCifer]

119. Yeah, and UNlike Seattle...

...Miami WON'T learn from the way the piggies treated the protests a couple of years ago. Just ask Randi Rhodes's producer Tim who got SHOT with plastic bullets, JUST FOR REPORTING. SIG HEIL POLICE STATE 2006 DOC UND VIKENSTIEN FURROR BU$Hitler...

Lu

[Coexist]

60. Tampa is actively courting the GOP for the convention.

[pitohui]

48. they've come before, maybe in 1988 (could look it up?)

hey if they want to come and spend their $$$ their money is as green as anyone's

i've never been much in favor of promoting new orleans during hurricane season but if people know the risks, then they do get good deals at that time, and it helps smooth out the unevenness of income for folks in the tourism industry

let em come on down, maybe they'll learn something

[American liberal]

84. KerryTravelers, where did you get the pic? That's one of the most

powerful image I've seen of the great NO debacle. Wow!

[Kerrytravelers]

148. When the whole NO disaster was actually happening, I found this pic

on the internet(s).

Right click on the pic, scroll down to properties and see the site.









Edited to add picture.

[American liberal]

149. thanks, but Properties is not an option in my dialog box.

You must have saved the image on your hard drive? Regardless, it's a great, albeit depressing, image. Thanks for sharing.

Peace,
AL

[xiamiam]

15. Proves my belief that we are the majority..and sick of their shit...nt

[Raffi Ella]

23. My thoughts exactly.

Why don't they find a place in China,India or the U.A.E to hold their Damned Convention.

[Charlie Brown]

16. Something tells me it will end up in Houston

you can always count on Texas to bail the GOP out.

[TahitiNut]

34. I was thinking Dallas. (Former Enron'ers in Houston own guns.)

:evilgrin:

[AnneD]

80. OH HELL NO, NOT HOUSTON....

We have so many evacuees (more than NOLA)that will give him a warm welcome.:sarcasm: Like I said in an earlier threads, many things that FEMA said they would pay for, we haven't seen the green. The last time they were here, it took forever to get checks. Our wonderful DEM mayor will have to watch his wallet and count his fingers after a grip and grin. And frankly, our local hookers have more class. As far as tipping etc...DEMS are always better and more fun (and I have attended both party fundraisers). Hubby might play (he's a musician) but he would turn the check over to the local DEM party (he does that consistantly-says it is the only way he can live with himself).

[AspenRose]

152. Weren't they in Houston in '92?

That's sort of recent....Fourteen years or so.

I was living there when they showed up. *shudder*

Maybe they need to give DFW a chance....or the Mariana Islands....

[FreedomAngel82]

17. Good!

:)

[in_cog_ni_to]

18. GOOD! Maybe they can hold it on a cruise ship like Delay

wanted to do in '04? They're too chicken to do that though....too much of an easy target in the water. The paranoids need military, police, and security guards all over the place. They'd have to have them all sitting in the water. ;) The Chickenhawks are too skeered when it's THEIR pathetic life that at stake.

[HockeyMom]

20. Why Democratic Cities, never mind Democratic STATES?

Want to shove it down our throats? Do you know how outraged we were here in NY over their EXPLOITATION of their "9/11" Convention on us?

Yes, take your Convention to to the Deep South where you will be welcomed on bended knee. Apologies, to you DU'ers who live there, but at least THEY are in the majority there. Not so, in all the other places they want to hold their convention.

[kaygore]

33. So the roiting can be ascribed to its being a "liberal" location

[pitohui]

49. because cities are democratic, friend

even in the deep south, the cities are democratic, they have little choice but to go to democratic cities unless they indeed want to hold their convention on a cruise ship or in the boonies

[Skidmore]

21. I hear * has a mighty fine pigfarm with lots of acreage and plenty

of outbuildings. They could probably get that for cheap.

[Kerrytravelers]

28. That's true. They will need plenty of space to fit the portapotties.

So, thankfully, there will be no room for them in Los Angeles. Our convention area is very crowded. Not enough space for the portapotties.

[IDemo]

82. Sounds like a great location for a BushStock festival

"Can I have everyone's attention? Don't drink the purple koolaid!"

[pinto]

22. I think an off shore, tax exempt island w/no extradition laws would just

about fit their needs.

[upi402]

55. LOL,-a beauty. And they are welcome to remain there for the rest of

their natural lives. Like another Australia, a penile implant colony, but populated with serious criminals!
:party:

[Blue Belle]

58. US Virgin Islands?

That's where most of them launder their money anyway.

[northzax]

24. you know, when your entire platform

is based on despising urbanity and cities in general, it's not a real shock that cities don't like you much.

[TomClash]

25. Hey, they forgot Poland!

Plenty of cities there!

[Kerrytravelers]

35. Never forget Poland!

[mitchtv]

26. Boise or Salt Lake

Casper, Ok city, Talahasee, Montgomery, Why not Wheeling?

[WhiteTara]

27. LOL

How about Wyoming? Cheyenne would love to have them, I'm sure. :rofl:

[Straight Shooter]

30. They should hold it at the Armstrong Ranch. n/t

[Obamanaut]

41. Excellent! There they can shoot one another with impunity. n/t

[TomClash]

31. What's wrong with Baghdad?

I'm sure they'll be "greeted as liberators."

[wryter2000]

40. Ding, ding, ding!

We have a winner. Funniest damned thing I've read in an age.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[ginnyinWI]

66. Iraq, our 51st state. n/t

[Wilms]

32. I say an oil rig. Or Armstrong Ranch. n/t

[acmejack]

37. Invite them to Watts, Baltimore down by Dunbar High

Man, I can think of a hundred places, these people have never seen & if they have it has only been in the light of day with their cadres. Let them come face to face with the human cost of their compassion.

[Kerrytravelers]

43. But these people don't exist... unless the have a well stocked portfolio,

[buddysmellgood]

39. Where will Dems have their convention? New Orleans I hope.

[Johnny Noshoes]

44. As a New Yorker

who has to deal with enough nonsense everyday the last thing I want here is EITHER party having their convention in NYC.

"To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly and compassionately with one another and to preserve and cherish that pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known." Dr. Carl Sagan

[ThoughtCriminal]

45. Here's a tip for Republicans

Learn how to tip. The people might welcome you back to town.

Think of it as a bribe if that helps.

[jillan]

47. I would love it if they came to Phoenix.

I would get so much satisfaction flipping each and everyone of them off.
Putting signs all over the city detailing their individual voting records.

Putting up the pic of Karl Rove being frog-marched.

Yep - this could be a fun time, it's all in the way you look at things.

[ThoughtCriminal]

51. Especially in August or September

If the Air Contitioners fail, it's a bonus.

[jillan]

64. they would melt...

just like the wicked witch of the west :)

[Nevilledog]

98. I heard a couple of days ago that Phoenix IS on the list....

and they had some ass on the radio talking about how great it would be to have the convention here and that it's just a dry heat so it wouldn't be any worse than being in a humid state the same time of year. Heh.... let's see how they like 120 degree heat.

[dorktv]

126. That would be sooooooooooooooo cool! I would have a blast

mocking them.

Oh you do not want Bush to come campaign for you Hayworth? How about the whole corrupt lot!

[tsuki]

50. My vote, a cow field in Kansas. n/t

[Mabus]

52. We don't want them here either

I suggest Wyoming or a quail hunting range somewhere near Kenedy County, Texas.

[tsuki]

53. Oh, I'd love to see them trippin' among the cow paddies. Maybe

they could find some magic mushrooms and chill out. :evilgrin:

[Mabus]

63. Let them tramp among the Longhorn meadow muffins in Texas

It's warmer there. The muffins will be riper. If you know what I mean ;-)

[tsuki]

96. That works for me.

[Mabus]

103. It'd be a double bonus for me (crossing my fingers for luck)

Hopefully wherever the Republicans go Phred Phelps & his Phamily will follow to picket them.

[gizmo1979]

56. how about Mobile or miami

[ClayZ]

59. Ah, so .... Money can't buy EVERYTHING!

This is wonderful news... Welcome is a BIG word!

Protest them wherever they go!

[IronLionZion]

61. Seattle turned down the Dems too

The Dems chose New Orleans for their 2006 meeting. Kudos to them for that.

Cities the Dems are looking at: Anaheim, Atlanta, Denver, NYC, New Orleans, Detroit, Orlando and others.
http://www.2004dnc.com/
http://demconwatch.blogspot.com/

Cities the Repugs asked for bids:
Anaheim, Calif.; Atlanta; Boston; Charlotte, N.C.; Chicago; Columbus, Ohio; Dallas; Denver; Detroit; Houston; Indianapolis; Los Angeles; Kansas City, Mo.; Memphis, Tenn.; Miami; Minneapolis; Nashville, Tenn.; New Orleans; New York; Orlando, Fla.; Philadelphia; Phoenix; Pittsburgh; Portland, Ore.; Sacramento, Calif.; San Antonio; San Diego; San Francisco; Seattle; St. Louis, Mo.; and Tampa.
http://www.statesman.com/news/content/gen/ap/GOP_Convention.html

[Cha]

71. I'm thinking NYC would love

the Dems to come there..but maybe that's just me. I just read where there "is no political advantage to New York" but I think they deserve something good after all that happened to them.. 9/11 & the 2004 repuke convention.

Why doesn't Seattle want any conventions? Anything to do with the G-8 that happened in the past?

[IronLionZion]

153. Yes, they don't want a repeat of the violent protests

was it G-8? It might have been IMF or World Bank or something. The protesters were anti-globalization. And as usual, it was the anarchists that started the violence.

[Kerrytravelers]

85. They're considering returning to NYC?

Let's see just how much we can suck the milk from the 9/11 teat... as if NYC is the cash cow. :eyes:

[mnhtnbb]

62. Lynchburg, VA

ought to be friendly. Jerry Falwell lives there!

[Niccolo_Macchiavelli]

65. switzerland

still a captalist whore... but it would be nice for all the other europeans coming to protest them along with our greenies and (social-socialist)reddies

[Cha]

67. San Diego turned them down?

I know some whacked out repukes there who will experience extreme disappointment :(

[ThoughtCriminal]

73. Salt Lake City?

Bush is still has 58% approval in Utah.

[Cha]

78. Ah, but the mayor of

Salt Lake City is a fine Dem..Mayor Rocky Anderson!

http://www.slcgov.com/mayor/

[maveric]

102. I beleive that SD lost money after the 1996 Convention here.

And a lackluster convention it was.
SDPD was ordered to round up all the homeless in the downtown area and dump them off in rural E County areas.
They didnt want the country or the GOP to know that there are homeless people in the US.
It was a disaster on a couple of levels.

[Cha]

116. Thanks, that's good to

know!

[mod mom]

136. Dubai? They have that "winter wonderland" in the middle of a desert.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

68. New Orleans. In the super dome.

[terrya]

69. Boise, Idaho, perhaps?

That's a Red state.

[IDemo]

77. Negatory, thanks just the same!!

[SeattleGirl]

70. The asked Seattle??????

Seattle is a very blue area, and I think there would have been an uprising had Seattle said yes.

[EFerrari]

76. I wonder if they're using this event to pick up swing votes?

As if. :eyes:

[SeattleGirl]

83. It would be slim pickin's here!

Thank God Seattle turned them down! Actually, though, now that I think about it, it could have fired the liberals up even more to fight against them.

[EFerrari]

93. I think the only venue open to them in San Francisco would be

the zoo.

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

100. I don't know.....I wonder if even an elephant would want to

be associated with this crowd! :rofl:

[NuttyFluffers]

109. but what about the farallons?

tons of bird guano, basking sea lions, and great white sharks. a natural paradise to be sure! if we're lucky a few republicans might end up staying forever!
:rofl:

[upi402]

90. they'd have to repress it like New York was

[grace0418]

92. Chicago is the same. No WAY would that have gone over

well here. Luckily Daley had the sense to tell them to fuck off. They might as well hold it on the Armstrong ranch. Not too many cities are gonna want them.

[SeattleGirl]

101. That's a great idea!

And Kath Armstrong could have a podium built so she has a place to go to announce all the shootings! :rofl:

[grace0418]

106. They'll all get guns as door prizes! LOL!

Maybe they can all just take each other out and leave us sane people alone.

[SeattleGirl]

114. Now there's a great idea!

:thumbsup:

[peekaloo]

72. New Orleans!

Seriously. That would be 3 years since Katrina and they could tout their massive rebuilding successes.

:sarcasm:

[banana republican]

122. Is It on Their List????? oooh I hope so n/t

[linazelle]

151. NOLA would be the best place. They deserve to go there. nt

[Avalux]

74. Dallas - cause they're just like the TV show.

Definitely Dallas. :D

[NuttyFluffers]

110. *pulls off clip-on earrings* *SLAP* "You bitch!"

:rofl:
bringing back memories of 80s primetime soaps. yes, very Dallas.

[American liberal]

79. And all Mayor Daley needs is a repeat of '68--this time with the GOP

[American liberal]

81. This is poetic. Why aren't they going to REd States? SLC would

be THRILLED to accommodate the MFers.

[Kurovski]

89. They're going to have to hold it in a much smaller town

with a much lower quality of hookers.

Poor babies.

[dogday]

91. New Orleans has offered the use of it's SuperDome

Cram them all in for three days without light, air, facilities, and food, see how those republicans look after three days..... I am all for that......

[gordontron]

95. Dang it! I wish they had come here (to Seattle)

you wouldn't even be able to imagine the size of the protests if Bush had come to a republican convention here...makes me warm and fuzzy thinking about it. Its too bad we didn't let the Dems come though, strange really

[tabasco]

97. Mogadishu would be an excellent choice!

Somalia is a republican paradise !

NO TAXES - NO GOVERNMENT - NO GUN CONTROL

[frylock]

105. i'm almost disappointed san diego declined..

almost.

[NuttyFluffers]

111. what about washington, d.c.?

nothing says entrenched gov't establishment power like hosting in the city you bought and paid for -- well, the halls of power at least.

[Olney Blue]

113. No- please give us a break here. It's infested enough!

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

117. Phoenix is way too hot in the summer, although

it might be good practice for later on for most of them, if you know what I mean.

But don't come to Phoenix GOP.

It is on the list.

How about 118 degree highs in the day, lows that don't go below 90 degrees at night.

Like an oven stepping out the door.

Don't come to Phoenix, GOP.

[Bluebear]

118. Why not the new "free" Baghdad?

The people will greet them with flowers and chocolates.

[Swamp Rat]

123. They are welcome to come to New Orleans and have it in the Super Dome.

We will be happy to recreate the conditions of last August so they will feel at home in the dome. For overflow, the republicans can stay in the nearby housing project - there are plenty of empty rooms there now. We'll be happy to sell them hazmat suits and masks at the going Halliburton price. :)

Or, they can have it in Bay St. Louis. They can stay for two weeks for free, if they bring building materials and rebuild the entire city.

[deacon]

124. Let them have it in New Orleans n/t

[NastyRiffraff]

133. Hey, they can't have Nawlins!

That's ours! I'd love to see the Dem convention there.

Although, true, I wouldn't mind seeing them crammed into the Superdome, with Katrina's conditions recreated.

[tomreedtoon]

125. What city has the most available hookers?

Remember, an important element of a Republican convention is the availability of prostitutes. A city must be chosen by the number of poor, uneducated, and abused women who are forced to this most tragic and abusive profession.

While most American cities have a lot of women reduced to prostitution, is there any place where the desperation is more great than New Orleans? Also, for the first time the Republicans would be providing direct aid to the city's underpriveleged...and the delegates would only be doing to the women what they did to all the Katrina victims before, but this time they might leave tips. (Yeah, right.)

[kineneb]

127. how about Area 51? or Las Vegas?

Mind you, I have nothing in particular against our neighbor Nevada. Las Vegas should have enough "services" to please the GOP boys. And Area 51, well, the GOP has a lot in common with space aliens...:evilgrin:

[melody]

146. Vegas is Union Central, USA

They even terrify the Mob.

BushCo would be at least a little spooked.

[Raksha]

128. For me it's a toss-up between Salt Lake City

and the United Arab Emirates. Or...what about Saudi Arabia? Or Pakistan?

Edited to add: I forgot...no hookers in Saudi Arabia, at least as far as anyone knows. So I guess that's out.

[hvn_nbr_2]

130. LOL. San Diego "has other priorities." Will Cheney try to draft 'em. nt

[NVMojo]

131. fecking karma!

[Craig3410]

132. Rexburg, ID!

Looked it up after reading this post: (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x464091 )

http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/politicalInfo.php?locInd...

Presidential politics: Rexburg is in Madison County, which supported George W. Bush in the last two presidential elections. According to unofficial vote totals for 2004, Bush received 10,693 votes and John Kerry received 826 votes.

In the November 2000 election, Madison County overwhelmingly supported Bush. Countywide, 7,941 people voted for Bush and 816 voted for Gore. Nader received 37 votes.

10,693 to 826 in '04 and 7,941 to 816 in '00.

:wow:

Real bastion of liberalism there.

[Hardrada]

134. Philadelphia, Mississippi

It was good enough for Ronnie Raygunz to start his campaign there.

[Hubert Flottz]

137. Maybe they can find a stable!

With pigs and goats and shit!

[tomreedtoon]

141. A stable? For a "virgin birth?"

Perhaps with Pat Robertson as the wise man bringing myrrh? (He would be the one to bring the embalming scent.)

I'm certain that if they could find a stable, they'd do it. They might even find a virgin (from their no-sex-ed classes) whom they could convince to bring about a "virgin birth."

[Hubert Flottz]

143. I'll bet they know where all the right sheep are at all times!

[Vidar]

138. Outsource the bastards--maybe Guatanomo.

[American liberal]

150. Yeah, that's it! Outsource 'em to Gitmo! LOL

on edit: Oh, but wait! Guantanamo Bay is in CUBA! I thought we didn't like doing business with Communist dictators! Whatever was I thinking? :sarcasm:

[dooner]

139. How about Baghdad?

Dick could bring his gun. George could wear his uniform. The Republicans could bask in the glory reflected from their
successful freedom mission. Security would be cheaper, it' already in place. I've heard Halliburton cooks up a heck of a meal,
and for goodness sakes, the USO could perform. It's fantastic!

[Norquist Nemesis]

154. I figured they'ld want Las Vegas

But I suppose it would be to risky to gamble their own money instead of ours. :shrug:

Imagine a tourism commerical for Las Vegas...a bunch of Republicans in a limo looking guilty as sin!
