Would you attend the RNC?

My mom is a delegate, and I have to admit that I'm a little nervous about her (and my father) attending the RNC at the end of August. I know that it hasn't curbed her enthusiasm, but I definitley would have to give it some serious thought if it were me. Just curious, would you go, even with all the terror threats? Or for my democrat counterparts, would you to the DNC (even though I think terrorists have more of a reason to attack Reps)?

What about all us New Yorkers (I work in Manhattan) who have been on orange alert for three years now, having to deal with the increased threat all because the Reps wanted to have their convention near ground zero to capitalize on the 9/11 attacks? We don't have a choice if we want to go to work or not.

I would personally be a little nervous about attending either Convention.

Both are very inviting targets for a terrorist attack.

A few things to keep in mind. First, the security is always high at the conventions

I would go. One might decide not to got to the RNC and the terrorists could decide to attack the local shopping mall instead. They are able to do what they do by being unpredictable, so I think being at the RNC is proabbly just as safe as being anywhere else where large numbers of people are congregating.

I thought you told me you lived in the Washington D.C. area. Did you move?

Since the terrorists and the Democrats are on the same side, I would be more nervous attending the Republican convention. The terrorists are evil, but not stupid.

"Since the terrorists and the Democrats are on the same side,"

This comment is THE most ridiculous and offensive comment I've ever heard on this site.

It's no secret that they would prefer a Kerry presidency.

So you condone that type of post? Disappointing, even for you.

Baileyhouse, your posts are really nasty.


And I agree with Renee, it's definitely no secret that the terrorists would love to oust Bush since he's the only one that actually stood up to them.
