			<description><![CDATA[Are you serious? They are encouraging them to bring guns? To an event with lots of drinking and emotion? Are they crazy? (yes).

			<description><![CDATA[Stop using photos of dignified monkeys to portray Republicans. It's an insult. A couple of thoughts: The immediate issues of the so-called "Black Republicans" was the anti-slavery stance. Yet, curiously at the same time, north and south whites agreed that Africans were not their equals. It was the temerity of the South to threaten to blow apart the country that unified the north. Then 1861 and Fort Sumpter just became a flash point. All else followed. Lincoln let the Union Army contingent suffer in Sumpter for three months and nearly starve to death before surrender. But the advocates for free and voting Africans was a small minority of whites. A lot of sentiment was for shipping Africans back to Africa. Not a nice picture of pro-African sentiment. The Democratic states that are now Republican were most virulently anti African (considered their property). The story today, however, is the anti-woman stance of the Republican Party. What the heck do they think they are doing? They have reached the limit of conservative reaction on an issue that started with pro-life. A hundred years ago, not even Catholics took the stance Ryan and his ilk are taking now. It is a new low that does echo women as property.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yes, I saw that too, a while ago. I also read Scientific American which printed a detailed report. Biologists learned from the evidence that the python went into a dazed, defenseless state after trying to swallow too much and was himself partly eaten by an outraged alligator who came along while he was snoring and bit him almost in two. I expect that big fatcat python was a NeoCon(federate ) Republican, living in a world of fantasy in which the Pythonese Free Market would take care of him even when he greedily grabbed too much. He's a good metaphor for what happens to ALL greedy critters. Ultimately they get eaten. (Anyway, a 5'10" politician isn't a 12' gator.)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Here's another one. The female delegates and office seekers will challenge the GOP anti abortion platform and war on women policy and candidates. Oh wait, never mind. These ladies support those positions or they wouldn't be there in the first. So that means opposition to reproductive rights can't be blamed exclusively on men after all?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[OK. Here is an idea for the convention: (a little different approach, may be) In Europe people protest on the streets when they do not like the political decisions of their government. THAT IS NORMALITY. You protest on the street in Tampa at the GOP convention, people think of you as a communist or a "lefty"....you are not patriotic...and the Tampa police will arrest you, because you pose a threat. Wouldn't it be nice, if for every 1000 protesters there would be one guy or woman protesting in front of the convention center carrying a sign that says: " I represent 1000 people, who are standing 2 miles from here on a parking lot" That could not be threatening and the media may take their cameras to that parking lot for interviews and reporting. If the police then really arrests that "one for every thousand people" person because they feel that ONE person poses a threat, the GOP and the CITY of TAMPA would make themselves really look stupid......and that would make news. Wouldn't it? :)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA["Lincoln only freed the slaves after the Rothschilds started banging the drums for war on the side of the south in their very own London Press. Turning down the 24% loan offered by the Rothschild dominated Bank of England incited the Rothschilds to drum up support on the side of the confederacy. Lincoln knew the British public would not fall for war propaganda calling for British boys to wage war on the pro slavery side, so he countered with the Emancipation Proclamation. Lincoln Greenbacks (debt free money) resulted in the team of asassins being dispatched from London via Montreal to Washington DC. Printing interest free money is a death sentence. The Czar parked the Russian Navy off of New York City and San Francisco to show unity against the almighty Rothschilds, who had been threatening the rulers of the world's largest ever Christian Empire if they did not let Rothschild bankers print the money in St. Petersburg." That's it, in a nutshell. And Lincoln was a Republican]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Few people realize that the "civil" war had much at all to do with slavery. The war was strictly waged on and for economic reasons. The north controlled the money supply (and still does). The money, even with "free" slave labor was evaporating into the banks of New York. Which, and you can test the logic of it easily, is the Capitol of the United States of America. Until a person understands the concept of "money" they will never understand anything about the USA. This from above. Don't you think that slavery had to do directly with the economy?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Swallowing alligators doesn't work out too well for the pythons though. a Burmese python almost four metres long had "apparently" entirely swallowed an alligator about half his size. "I say apparently because the tail and hind limbs of the dead alligator were protruding from a hole in the mid-body of the dead python," said Snow. "Although some bones of the jaw were present, the head of the python was missing," he said in a field report, illustrated with graphic photographs. The photographs show the hind quarters of the alligator protruding from the snake's mid-section. --http://www.th eage.com.au/new s/world/python- dies-swallowing -alligator/2005 /10/06/11281918 23790.html About the same result society suffers from swallowing the bs the two party system shovels out....]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Since enormous Burmese pythons are now the top Florida animal predator, and kudzu the top vegetal one, you need to add them to the list. Pythons can swallow a 12' long alligator whole. What could they do to a politician who has drunk too much tea (and bourbon) and been caught in the tangle of a kudzu?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Few people realize that the "civil" war had much at all to do with slavery. The war was strictly waged on and for economic reasons. The north controlled the money supply (and still does). The money, even with "free" slave labor was evaporating into the banks of New York. Which, and you can test the logic of it easily, is the Capitol of the United States of America. Until a person understands the concept of "money" they will never understand anything about the USA.]]></description>

If Issac becomes a major hurricane, it will be very interesting to see how the Republicans treat each other on their way out of Tampa... or the Convention Center.

			<description><![CDATA[Exactly. With enough money you can buy anything. Even corrupt and own a president. ...... Two months into his presidency, Obama summoned the titans of finance to the White House, where he told them, "My administration is the only thing between you and the pitchforks" [snip] ...in April 2011, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, chaired by Democrat Carl Levin, after a two-year inquiry, issued a fat report detailing several transactions, including Goldman's Abacus deal, that Levin and his staff believed should be investigated by Justice as possible crimes. [snip] Meanwhile, Obama's political operation continued to ask Wall Street for campaign money. A curious pattern developed. A Newsweek examination of campaign finance records shows that, in the weeks before and after last year's scathing Senate report, several Goldman executives and their families made large donations to Obama's Victory Fund and related entities, some of them maxing out at the highest individual donation allowed, $35,800, even though 2011 was an electoral off-year. Some of these executives were giving to Obama for the first time. http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2012/05/06/why-can-t-obama-bring-wall-street-to-justice.html .....]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Lincoln only freed the slaves after the Rothschilds started banging the drums for war on the side of the south in their very own London Press. Turning down the 24% loan offered by the Rothschild dominated Bank of England incited the Rothschilds to drum up support on the side of the confederacy. Lincoln knew the British public would not fall for war propaganda calling for British boys to wage war on the pro slavery side, so he countered with the Emancipation Proclamation. Lincoln Greenbacks (debt free money) resulted in the team of asassins being dispatched from London via Montreal to Washington DC. Printing interest free money is a death sentence. The Czar parked the Russian Navy off of New York City and San Francisco to show unity against the almighty Rothschilds, who had been threatening the rulers of the world's largest ever Christian Empire if they did not let Rothschild bankers print the money in St. Petersburg.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What can go wrong? As Joan Rivers might say, "Can we talk?" The Tea Party halfwits who now control "the party of Abraham Lincoln" are starting to realize what a mistake it would be to give this Mitt Romney the nomination. You see, as extreme as the der Mittster is, he's not quite extreme enough for these knuckleheads. The GOP convention of 2012 may very well bring back nasty memories of the Democratic catastrophe of 1968. And do you wanna hear the punchline? The delegates have been encouraged by the NRA to come to the convention armed! This should be just oodles of fun to watch - from a safe distance that is. http://www.tomdegan.blogspot.com Tom Degan]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Who actually watches the conventions and why? There are no surprises. The time to hit the streets was before the primaries, and is before the election. Unless I am mistaken, virtually every candidate in both parties is committed to not injuring Wall Street, It is not the local contractor making $500,000 a year that is the problem, it is the NYC crowd making $100+ million and their secretaries making $750,000 that is the problem; but no one will touch them. Jon Corzine, admitted thief is still uncharged, and neither Obama or Romney will charge him.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The real conventions, both Democratic and Republican, will, alas, most likely take place in the streets as those who show up to "peaceably assemble and to petition the government for redress of grievances" (1st Amendment) are arrested in droves on the most paltry of excuses. Yes, there will be some troublemakers present and they should be treated appropriately. But that certainly was not what happened at the 2008 conventions and the American Security State has gotten worse since then. Lovely satire here, but on a serious note I am deeply concerned about what may happen at the upcoming conventions, and even more so about how the events may be "spun". That may have more effect on the elections than anything that takes place inside the convention halls.]]></description>
