Non-Conventional View
2012-08-28 - by
A TAPster who is no fan of the party conventions offers this:
“Two thoughts as we enter two tedious weeks of convention blather:
“First, the hurricane harassing the Republican National Convention is further proof that Southern small-town wind-blown burgs like Tampa and Charlotte have no business hosting big-time conventions. What self-respecting convention city has to deal with hurricanes AND must import enough hookers, strippers and anarchists to have a real party?
“Second, shouldn’t the enormous resources required to fund the conventions be better spent on some grander purpose? Feeding poor people? Caring for sick people? Avoiding $50+ million on security alone? The conventions are anachronistic wastes of time and money.”
