I never truly watched the RNC, but I just discovered...
quite possibly the most hate-filled moment of it.

"The only openly gay congressional Republican, Rep. Jim Kolbe of Arizona, was extoling the values of free trade, a staple in the values system of most GOP'ers for the past 50 years.

Directly below Kolbe, front and center on the floor of Philadelphia's First Union Center, most of the Texas delegation was praying -- not for their favorite son's victory in the fall, but for Kolbe's soul. Like Deion Sanders after he runs back a punt for a touchdown, some Texans had their eyes closed and their hands raised to the heavens as they prayed so that, as they told me, Kolbe could be freed from a "trapped lifestyle" of trying to seduce young boys."

There was a picture of it happening, and the message is the same as I want to give to the RW'ers.

2. I remember that...

Those people are absolutely frightening.

They celebrate death and hate, but pray to a god when they just happen to start thinking about other men's penises.

6. It's always about sexual issues
Edited on Fri Feb-11-05 03:00 PM by FreedomAngel82
Why is that? What's their fixtation on sex? :shrug: Why not on poverty? Why not on the enviornment? Why not taking care of the elderly? :shrug:
As Rhandi Rhodes has said: "I am the Christian right."

7. All of the Christian Coalition men...
...wake up in the morning thinking about other men's penises.

Then, they spend all day trying to figure out how to control other men's penises.

Then, they go to bed at night again thinking about other men's penises.

But, do they dream?

5. Their conventions are always so boring
I watched a few minute's of it to see what was going on. My dad watched most of it and their's are so boring. They had nothing but country music artist's. I do like Sara Evans and am a country music fan but I also like a lot of other music. The DNC always has the coolest and most entertaining conventions. And also the RNC has a lot of old white people and I remember seeing one part they showed a little boy about six or seven asleep. LOL.
