COMING SOON TO A REPUBLICAN CONVENTION NEAR YOU....ANYTHING BUT REPUBLICANISM


So the featured speakers at the upcoming GOP convention are going to Ahnold, Pataki and McCain. It seems that the GOP enjoyed its faux integrated convention so much in Philly last time around that it is going for a Rockefeller Republican convention in NYC this time around. With that lineup, the GOP is rightly running away from their entire domestic platform - gay-bashing, handouts to the rich and corporate lobbies, environmental deregulation. The only thing they aren't running from is their hard-line stance on the War on Terror. None of this is surprising. Karl Rove didn't become the Mayberry Machiavelli without a keen sense of when to put on the show for the swing voters..
