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)?

Are you even thinking when you say things like that? You're saying that because terrorists would like someone besides Bush in the White House (b/c Bush was 'man enough to stand up to them' as someone insinuated somewhere on this thread'), they are similar to Democrats...so wanting Bush out of the presidency is like being a terrorist? Come on. You have to know how sick that is.

I find it disturbing that none of our conservative friends here have commented on the inapproriateness of the remark. That speaks volumes to me. What's that saying about when good people stand by and do nothing?

Sadly, it says to me that there is some agreement with that horrible characterization and it is not merely the opinion of a lone poster.

Come, my conservative friends, what say you?

Neither of us said or implied anything of the kind.


Al Queda is claiming that they changed the outcome of the election in Spain because they wanted to retaliate against Aznar for joining the coalition.


We have intelligence that they would like to try the same thing here.

Restated:

Privatizing SS = pushing old people off a cliff

Welfare reform = starving poor people

The Clean Air act = poisoning our water, soil, and air


terrorist n : a radical who employs terror as a political weapon


Yup, the definition applies. At least to those that would say things like this. That would include Kerry, Kennedy, Lieberman, Gephardt, Clinton (both Bill & Hillary), Gore, J. Jackson, and most any other high-profile Democrat/leftist leader.

"Baileyhouse, your posts are really nasty."

I can't see how anything she said is as nasty as saying that Dems and Terrorists are on the same side.

"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."

Bush has played right into their hands. He's damaged our standing in the world and mobilized a whole new crop of terrorists against us. He's their dream candidate.

But on the off chance that you've got a hotline to Osama could you please tell Bush where to find him?

Sadly it says the same to me. The fact that none of the conservatives on this board have spoken up and even worse the comment was defended by one of the CL's speaks volume. And where do we go when even the CLs support a statement like that?

Sadr, Sadr, Sadr.

Stood up to who?

An "undemocratic thug." A warrent for murder unserved.

But there is room for him in the government of Bush's Iraq, as soon as this "undemocratic thug" shows he can bloody a few noses.

Crawfish back to Crawford, Shrub. This time of the year, the plants are all yellow from the heat. You'll blend right in.

Or....

Was the whole warrent a trumped up charge to remove a political force, and the whole thing backfired?

I didn't say that Democrat=terrorist. I said that the Democrats and the terrorists are on the *same side*. That is just a simple fact. I didn't say they use the same tactics, or that they were on the same side for the same reasons, just that they are on the same side. It is my opinion that the terrorists would be stupid to harm the Democrats during this election as the Democrats are doing their best to change things in a way that would benefit the terrorists. I don't think the terrorists are stupid.

Frankly I am surprised at all the outrage. I thought the Democrats knew this already.

First of all, I can't help noticing that you keep saying "the terrorists" as if you know exactly who these people are, where they are, and what they want. Care to enlighten?

Second, I don't know exactly who they are, where they are, and exactly what it is that they want, so I can't see how I can be on the same side as them.
