Republican [Shhhh] Convention
I have been trying to watch the convention, and I did watch all the speeches last night, so I am still groggy. But the most interesting piece of information I have seen to date is that in the entire text of last night's acknowledgment of receiving the Republican nomination is that McAyn never once said that word, R-e-p-u-b-l-i-c-a-n.
It's hardly surprising that anyone wanting to get elected would avoid association with the biggest disaster that has ever been committed in public office, but that is the party that'[s putting on the show and putting up the money. This is a bit like calling your mom Mrs. (fill in the blank) While he did condemn his party for coming to D.C. to change things and instead being changed by D.C., it was the basic concept of the party that he was espousing when he chose to be a member, and the basic concept of that party that he condemned it for losing.
The basic concept is that one that his president, that fella who occupied the White House and knocks down anything to do with the public interest, that business is the interest this government should serve. As long as business is the object of the government though, the public is disserved. As long as the Republican party sees no reason to come out and tell the truth, that voting them in is voting yourself out of power, then this country will be in trouble.
I have never seen anything to recommend voting myself out of power. While the right wing deplores anything that serves those who have not made a fortune, they do have to give in to reality occasionally as they did in doling out a 'supplement' of $600 or so dollars that gave a badly needed boost to the economy.
It's not really funny that some one who is asking you to vote him into power realizes that his platform is a total failure. If he would show that plain speaking tendency he likes to claim, he would tell us that we would be fools to continue on the disastrous course that his party has followed, and will continue to follow.
It might be a good time for the party that time and again shows it does not have the interests of this country at heart to rename itself. If they don't like the word Republican, I am sure a new title can be brought up. I suggest 'crook', but then I do tend to be plainspoken.

Interesting and astute observation. Kinda like how Democrats in Texas used to avoid mentioning "Democrat" in their campaign literature (I lived in Houston for 20 years, just moved last year to Oakland, CA). You're a much stronger person than I am for being able to stomach the bile issuing out of the RNC.
