    It's like a fucking Escher painting. (Both in that reality is warped and distorted and that there's a seemingly endless amount of bullshit, more than you would think possible.)

    Just turned it on. Three minutes in, all I've learned is McDonnell is a bad public speaker. Transvaginal ultrasounds didn't sink his VP/potential 2016 candidacy, lack of talent did. Romney is more eloquent than that and we're pretty sure he's a robot.

    And now he's explicitly saying states with Republican Governors are successful, every place else isn't

    Like, they literally have nothing but blatant lies and policy positions that would have seemed regressive in the 1920s. They're approaching (or may already be at) a point where George W. Bush would be too left wing for them.

    Tomorrow is also the 7th anniversary of Katrina making landfall. I am not a religious man, but if I were, I'd think God was telling us something.

    8:48: McDonnell describes the EPA as “the Employment Prevention Agency.” In reality, agency regulations have crated hundreds of thousands of jobs and saved tens of thousands of American lives.
    Jobs: worth more than a few measly deaths, illnesses, and destruction of our resources! I mean, I have yet to actually see any evidence that it has cost a significant number of jobs. Is that just propaganda?

    I can't tell if the convention is only two speeches and it's just stuck on loop, or if these are supposed to be all different speeches.

    "Let's destroy Obama, he's the worst at everything and he kicks puppies. Here's someone who has a small business and THEY BUILT IT"

    "I had a family problem, and so I started a business on my own. It was a moderate success. Obama doesn't understand that I BUILT MY COMPANY. Romney does"

    goto 10

    At this point, I just assume all those people used government money to help build their business.

    Added the missing truth. The number of these assholes who go up there and turned out to be basically feeding off the government is amazing.

    Moving on to the question of illegal immigration: Do you support President Obama's executive order allowing those who migrated illegally as minors to apply for temporary status, or do believe that Skyrim belongs to the Nords?

    Just wait until the Presidential debates. Romney will try and attack on policy and Obama will counter with actual good results and ask what Romney did in Mass.

    On the other hand, what record is Romney running on? Its not Bain Capital anymore, it was never as Gov of Mass., and its been really sparse about the winter olympics. It is like his tax records: He knows that if people look too close they will realize that he is a fraud.

    I keep thinking about turning the futurist manifesto into a chain-letter.

    Whenever I try, I start having Hitler dreams.

    I do not want to see the stack of FWD's on that shit.

    Is this guy for serious?

    "I had a monopoly no-bid contract with the federal government, my only customer, and I made a killing. The Obama administration opened up the procurement process for for competitive bidding, and now I'm barely hanging on. I built my business with no help from the government, and now Obama killed it!"

    Allow me to translate to what everyone at the convention heard:

    "I started a business and I, a Mexican, who are known for low-cost stuff, was so good that BUSH and PROBABLY REAGAN and PROBABLY JESUS wanted the fruits of my business. Then OBAMA came in and destroyed all of that, by causing the government to SPEND WASTEFULLY instead of on cheap, Mexican goods."

    Matthews has been pissed all night. What's infuriating is that it's like the GOP being crazy is a new development to him. Sucking up to Jeb Bush on occasion, as well.

    It's very simple: Just point out that literally every person Romney has trotted out to repeat that line has received huge amounts of government assistance, including Romney himself!
