No, They Can't!! Random Thoughts on the RNC

     That's how he views suffering--as static interfering with the self-started mentality: easy to do when you're thriving off the flesh and blood of the daughter of one of the few lucky ones.

     How can you create growth, jobs, and prosperity by lowering taxes on the wealthy even further, Rudy? By pressing on in warfare that drains this country's resources and leaves little behind and binds us more tightly to the mercy of countries as close to enemies as friends of the America he "puts first"-?

     And how, Sarah Palin, self-described pit bull with lipstick (recall Cheney's image of the pig with lipstick), can you flout the Washington, DC, establishment you aspire to join? How, Sarah Palin, is McCain a maverick now, except from the essential values of the country he claims to love? How is McCain a maverick to snub one man with whom he's voted in concert on 90 percent of issues in the Senate? If he's that sort of friend to Bush, how will this short-tempered fool treat "America first"?

     Will you bring perpetual winter to the White House? Nuclear winter?

     While the McCains adopted one Indian child, have they sent any aid to the flood victims?

     While they preach crossing over the aisles, reaching out to Independents, how they marginalize, how they parody.

     I AM that woman who began a run down (read: down) to the podium in rage and was forcefully ushered out. So are all of us who will not allow four more years of the same sort of torture McCain willingly endured in Vietnam. The difference is that he escaped and is subconsciously willing those years to us while he wines and dines his few cronies, a captive who learned torture from his captors. . .

     Shall I go on? He's still speaking. May God silence his intent and truly bless America and all of us in that process.

     God bless America, and good night.

PS: God has blessed us. I just read at Underground News that protesters are disrupting McCain's speech.
