Reply #23: That's a little too much like Republicans in NYC in 2004

I don't like it, and the truth is that political conventions provide a very limited, short term economic benefit to a city. The way to get New Orleans back on its feet again--for the working people of the city--is to invest in the long term future, not a four day political schmooze- fest for the elites of the Democratic Party and corporate influence peddlers who infiltrate these conventions every four years.

And the security will be very high. I don't think New Orleanians would like all those fully armed jack-booted police and National Guardsmen coming back.
