What did you expect Mccain to say at this charade of a convention..........he didn't even talk about campaign finance reform because he would have been cut off!.........it is very embarrassing to see all the major news channels avoid the nominating states tonight as they gave Bush the votes to win the nomination...........it was televised only on PBS channels............what does that tell you about this sham convention........disgraceful abuse of the political system.....ABC,CBS,NBC, and FOX know that nobody is watching this boring preordained meeting of zealot delegates who act more like sheep than opinionated voters. AL FRANKEN in the WASHINGTON POST cracks 2 jokes.......first he says that Bush cares about children...he hasn't executed anyone under 14 years of age..............second he says that Bush has been good for education in Texas......60% of high school seniors read at a level higher than the governor......got to make anyone laugh.

It is so refreshing to see class once more in this convention and its class participants. You nearly forget what it is like having had Gore and Clinton administration for nearly eight years. Why are Clinton and Gore and their followers so obsessed with divisiveness and class envy? Why do they not try to build an inclusive society for all Americans? It just blows me away. I hate to say it but it seems so rare to see a Gore or Clinton follower who is not on the rude and crude side. Why is that? Are they a different type of person? For those of you who have studied societies where there is a centralized, socialized type of government are the supporters of those governments rude and crude and mean spirited?
