Why the **** does the President have to accept the nomination at a stadium?
Last edited Mon Sep 3, 2012, 09:13 AM USA/ET - Edit history (2)

Why couldn't he just accept it at the Convention Center? Filling all those seats, the cost of security, weather, etc.

4. Because he's actually hugely popular?
Because he doesn't have to truck in people of color or celebrities or troops-held-under-duress to pretend that people actually give a shit about him and what he has to say?
There you have it. :yahoo:

Oops.

7. uh, they are having to bus people in.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — College students from across North Carolina will arrive in Charlotte by the busload. Same with members of predominantly black churches in neighboring South Carolina.

Their goal: help fill a 74,000-seat outdoor stadium to capacity when President Barack Obama accepts the Democratic nomination Thursday night.

Anything short of a full house on the final night of the Democratic Party's national convention will be instant fodder for Republicans eager to use empty seats as symbols of waning voter enthusiasm for Obama.

Democrats have been fretting for months over whether the president can draw a capacity crowd at Bank of America Stadium. Polls show voter enthusiasm is down, as are Obama's crowds for his battleground state campaign rallies.

26. oh please.
Giving a ride to some college kids eager to see the president is not the same thing as HAVING to bus people in.
You make it sound like its North Korea and attendance is mandated at gun point or something.
Two words, and it has nothing to do with Maobama.   PARTY TIME!!!
That's why they're going, nothing more.

Gets better.

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

They're busing in people from as far away as Atlanta.

Guess they can't find enough commies in North Carolina

Help keep America beautiful...deface a liberal.

The Democrat and Republican parties are simply the left and right wings of the same bird of prey.

The road to freedom is paved with dead liberals.

That is why the MSM will be limiting their shots of the crowd and why you'll see a lot of the same people in different shots.

I had a friend that used to live on the Suwannee River near the Ga/Fl line. Years ago some famous fisher who had a TV show came to film an episode of his show on the Suwannee.

This was a big deal at the time so my friend went to watch the guy fish. My friend said he followed the guy the entire time that he was there and that during the guy's time fishing he only caught one fish.

The friend figured that since only one fish was caught that the episode on the Suwanne wouldn't air, but he said he was wrong. The episode did air, and unless you knew better you would think that the guy caught fish all day long because of the different camera angles that they showed of that one single fish.
