Did you find this hilarious? Who are they trying to fool?

Question

it seems that there was one common theme for all the speakers at the RNC so far, to make themselves appear as the "common man" or "common hockey/soccer mom"...h**l, even that filthy rich ROMNEY tried to give the same impression!!

Answer 1

Why is someone filthy rich?  Also Romney earned his so why does him having money offend you? Jealous or just another fool with a hand out instead of working? Who are you trying to fool?   The RNC tried to fool no one.

Answer 2

Please tell me you don't think the Dem politicians are working class stiffs.  My God man,John Kerry is one of the richest senators in Washington. Al Gore just bought himself a new yacht.  How's that carbon foot print btw.

Answer 3

At least they are not holding out their hands for welfare checks and other government handouts like so many O Bamba morons.

Answer 4

And why is it a crime to be rich? I understand you personally gave away all your millions and millions of dollars because you are ashamed to be rich, right?

Answer 5

They banned Ron Paul.

I didn't watch, myself, but thought this roll call vote was interesting since Ron Paul was the one speaker they DIDN'T allow:

"Last night's roll call certainly lacked the drama of the Democrats' version last week, but a notable thing happened at the end. As I was trying to listen through each state's cheering delegation, I noticed a ghost of primaries past reemerging. Texas congressman Ron Paul, who placed second in the Nevada and Montana caucuses, and created a huge following on the internet, received a few delegate votes. Two from West Virginia, four from Washington, four from Oregon. And Alaska, where Palin is the governor, was listed with five delegate votes for Paul. That actually put him in second place, ahead of Mitt Romney's two delegate votes.

Romney spoke before Palin Wednesday night, and Paul, who held his own convention in nearby Minneapolis, did not exactly receive a warm welcome from the Republicans earlier in the week. On Tuesday, Paul told CNN that as a Republican congressman he "should have a pass to the floor, but they said, 'Your pass will be at the gate, and we'll pick it up when you leave, and you can't take anybody with you.' "

At the end of the roll call, a motion passed to make John McCain the nominee by acclamation. But I'm sure Paul will take his 15 official votes with him, as well as more than ten thousand people who bought tickets to his "Rally for the Republic" convention. Something tells me we haven't heard the last of the Ron Paul Revolution."

Take care.

Answer 8

It's an attempt to stoop to the lowest common denominator - the poor and middle class.  After the election, those blue-blooded Republicans couldn't care less about us.
