Does anyone know why the Repub. convention is 4 days long but
the Dem. convention is only 3 days?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/125176521
I know why, day 4 of the Repuke convention is dedicated to cross burnings, taking away women's rights, stealing money from the poor, and starving old people. It takes a lot of time to discuss those when you have to use dog whistles.

Why is this even a cause of concern?
How long a political convention lasts is pretty insignificant (unless there's no winner in the early balloting and the thing drags on for days and days, but that hasn't happened for decades, like about 1932 or something).
Maybe the Republicans have more work to do, while the Democrats are pretty much done.
I dunno.
franksolich is as worried about this as he is about the price of soybeans in Burma.

Because DUmmies are petty, childish dumbshits? :-)
What do you have against Burmese?

The only reason they care is so they can make a stink about it.

Because no one is going to show up for the Dem Convention....And the GOP actually has the money to pay for theirs...
-
Not to mention that Dems are being warned to stay away from the convention by other Dems.
I think one reason the Dem convention is shorter is pro-American groups, like the Boy Scouts, refused to come and be booed again.

Mecklenburg County needs the extra day to clean up after you ****ing hippies and disease-carriers.

All this time, I thought it was because Conservatives tend to enjoy life better.

Make sure you bring a dog whistle.

Can I buy those at Walmart? :???:

Yes.

I've already got a dog whistle. :cheersmate:

It is labor day, as I recall.

Yeah, Chris Christy needs more time to blast the dems and union leaders. :-)

The unions cancelled their funding of the DNC because the venue is non-union, so they cut the convention by 1 day, but I say we should all go to Guam and jump up and down to see if it tips over. And, I got my dog whistle from Andrew Breitbart, TYVM. This is playing out just as he predicted.

Beautiful :rotf:

Ours is 4 days long because we have dynamic, politically relevant speakers, whereas they have Caroline Kennedy, Eva Longoria, and Sandra Fluke?
Or could it be because we actually have to go through the process of nominating the man who will defeat O in Nov?
-
It's because you can't fit that much common sense and patriotic awesomeness in a paltry 3 days.
I get a feeling the DNC will really last one day. Biden will say something stupid the day before, all the speakers back out, the delegates show up at 9 am, ask "Does anyone else want the job?" and when they say no, they halfheartedly nominate Zero and Bidet, then get back to their hotel rooms in time for a new episode of Jerry Springer a 11:00.
-
I actually thought that it was 4 days long because they were going to verbally list Bamalam's faults and the lies that he and the dems have told. They figured if they went 24 hours a day for 4 days they could get a good chunk of them in.
I've glanced at the list of his faults. He's black is not on the list. He's red (as in showing communistic tendencies) is on the list.
-

That is what causes sue-nomies. The last one caused Japan a lot of problems.
-
Charlotte already has enough idiots. Three days where an excessive amount of new idiots invade is painful but doable. Four days? That's a bit too much.

-
The withdrawl of funding from unions meant that the Democratics couldn't pay for the fourth day.
-
Because Sandra Fluke is good...she's doing Bill Clinton and Obama at the same time. A democrat sandwich.

Because so many Dems have declined to show up this year...they didn't have enough party members to fill out a fourth day.

^They're staying away in droves.

Lots of attractions and fun for the whole family, too. There's the Ted Kennedy Memorial dunking booth (an elderly minority member in the dunking seat, of course). Swiftboat rides in Tampa Bay. Celebrity waterboarding. And my personal favorite, the NRA-sponsored paintball mass-shooting competition.

People were so happy with the performance of l0rd 0bama and the high level democrat party members in good standing that there was not enough money to have a four day convention.
My gosh, the self proclaimed smartest people on the planet sure are ill informed and just downright ignorant.

Its longer because Republicans have more substance than shallow Democrats.
