first tier primate has no idea that the demo convention is going to be explosive!
Oh, and it's a state convention- not the national one.

Amid boos, GOP convention recessed
Advertisements [?]Outmaneuvered by raucous Ron Paul supporters, Nevada Republican Party leaders shut down their weekend state convention and now must resume the event, probably in Las Vegas, to complete a list of 31 delegates to the GOP national convention to be held in September in St. Paul, Minn.
State Sen. Bob Beers, R-Las Vegas, the convention chairman, was booed loudly as he called for a recess Saturday evening, saying the party's rental contract for a big meeting room at a Reno hotel-casino had expired and there was too much work left to complete.
The abrupt shutdown ended a long day that pitted outnumbered supporters of presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain against well-organized Paul supporters _ whose large share of the more than 1,300 state convention delegates enabled them to get a rule change positioning them for more national convention delegate slots than expected.

2. But the schaudenfreude tastes better when they do it.
Personally, I like my Schaudenfreude with a nice light Riesling and a thick slab of foie gras.
I prefer mine bent over and lightly oiled. :evillaugh:

5. The Obama/Hillary fight is nothing compared to this.
The press is not covering what the Paul/McCain split is doing to the Republican Party. It will be much easier to heal the Hillary/Obama split than to heal the Paul/McCain split, and the Paul/McCain split will grow stronger over the next four years regardless of who is in the White House. Hillary and Obama agree on the basic issues, but Paul and McCain do not. The Republican Party views the Paul supporters as outsiders, as crazies, but their philosophy is the logical conclusion of ultra-conservatism applied to the Constitution. This is the story the press is missing. It think the press is intentionally "missing" because it is just so fraught with danger for the current powers that be.
Ronpaul, maybe 5% of the vote. McCain, 48%. Yup, same as Clinton/Obama

8. You are so right.
We have two candidates with almost identical platforms duking it out over style. We won't have any difficulty coalescing around our candidate.
The republicans, on the other hand, have a major problem on their hands.
We got the ronbots, who are ****ing loons that even the hive recognizes, who will try their hardest to pry away a part of the [R] vote. You've got the Clintons who are successfully destroying the democratic party one day at a time.

Yeah like there is a comparision to be made. The Dem convetion will leave Denver loking like Chicago did in 68 and their party in ruins. Thanks to them well have the next several elections handed to us on a platter.

Oh my.
The primitives trying to explain Republicans to other primitives.
It's sort of the same thing as the primitives trying to explain economics or sociology or history or politics or Christianity to other primitives.
The primitives don't know excresence about Republicans.

I guess the DUmpmonkey can't admit that 95% of the RonPaulites are crazed moonbats who will not vote Republican under any other circumstances. The truth burns.
RonPaulites are treated like Fred Phelps, the KKK, and Osama bin Laden. The DUmpmonkeys must hide and deny their association with them.

OK, for you lurkers, the better analogy is Dennis Kucinich vs whomever "wins" the Chicago Convention. The Republican Party is certainly not split and McCain has used this time to pull in some of the Base -- he will probably pull it off if he gets his shit together about illegal aliens.
No, your dreams of a rift within the Republican Party is not to be. The Dr. Nutz extremists are so small a number that if they all jumped on a wood floor at the same time, they couldn't make the "Law & Order" signature tone.
There is a rift, but I won't tell you what it is...
