I am going to try to get into the RNC convention in NYC.

[RNC_ConventionReport]

I am a fairly well known DU member in good standing. I have volunteered for the RNC convention. I will give you the inside scoop if I get in. Either way, I will let you know what my experiences are. The next step is going to orientation.

:hi:

[joanne]

1. Good luck to you

I admire your courage. I really mean that!

It is the last place I would want to be.

[JSJ]

2. here, would you take this 'cid in with you and go to the punch bowl and...

...and 'loosen up' the crowd a bit?

[Hekate]

3. Be careful, will ya?

I'll be interested in how things look from the inside -- but you just mind your p's and q's and come back safe.

14. I'll be good.

I will not cause them any problems. Hopefully I will just get some good info. I will be protestign the bastards when I am not helping. I will not take an assignment outside of like MSG.

4. Godspeed, RNC_Con

Go forth...and don't be taken by the svelte temptations, the likes of Ann Coulter.

I doubt Ann the Man can affect me.

5. Why not? Bring a video camera/digital camera and interview the weirdos.

I'd love to go and do just that. I wouldn't try to spoil their little party, but instead I'd participate and work my way deeper into their underworld. Try to get some right wing wackos to open up and say what they REALLY think about: furiners, darkies, jews, islamics, commie-socialist-pinko-red-chinaman-lovin' liebruls... then show it to Jon Stewert at Comedy Central.

"Know thy enemy."

6. I have heard

the repub nat convention is going to be full of moderates.

I don't think they can afford another freak show like the repub texas state convention.

[rasputin1952]

10. LOL...there are no moderates in the GOP anymore...

The neo-cons have gone out of their way to silence the moderates. IMHO, if there were still Eisenhower repubs, the party would not be anywhere as bad as they are now. The neo-cons are out for complete domination, and they have chased most moderates away from the GOP, and silenced the rest...:(

[RNC_ConventionReport]

16. The freaks will be the delegates and the other participants.

Supposedly up to 50 wingers and fundies that support Bushler are coming. Those are scary people.

[trumad]

22. Fucking Newbies ... Ya better not be another Pat's fan!

[RNC_ConventionReport]

24. No

They were good last year, but I don't like them.

[Blue Gardener]

13. You are a brave person

Hanging around in that place would give me the heebie-jeebies.

[vetwife]

19. It takes guts to get that close to the enemy !

Good Luck !

20. Chris Rock

called the 1996 convention "The Million White Boy March" and then went on to "If one more of these MFers tells me to go get them another drink I am going off!"
