LOL! - GOP candidate gives pitch at wrong convention

GOP candidate gives pitch at wrong convention


Dan Dolan, Iowa 2nd District Republican Candidate.
By all accounts it was an honest mistake, political party convention attendees said.

Republican congressional candidate Dan Dolan of Muscatine arrived early at the Monroe County Courthouse for the Republican convention being held Saturday in Albia, Iowa.

Unfortunately, the county Democrats were holding their convention in the same building, and Dolan spoke to the wrong group of people.

“Nobody asked enough questions before he started speaking,” Monroe County Supervisor Denny Ryan said. “It finally got to the point in the speech where one of the people said, ‘Are you sure you’re at the right convention?’”

It is stupid of the Democratic party officials not to detect that he was a rePIG and allow him to address the convention. And of course more stupid for the rePIG not to know that he was in the wrong convention and speaking to the wrong crowd.

Someone in the Democratic Party KNEW who he was and at first were curious as to why he showed up. Then, when he started speaking, it was all fun and games from there.

I shudder to think what would have happened if a group of gun-toting Teabaggers were faced with a lefty who addressed them by mistake.
