Saw this on ABC last night. Thought it was well done.

Thanks for that Ted.  It was especially aggravating to watch with the RNC still in town.  I have not enjoyed having the convention here in the Twin Cities.  St. Paul has been basically off limits.   

Here's a special thumbs down the drunken, arrogant Republican louts who are infesting the local bars and the knuckle dragging protesters who go beyond free speech in to the realm of pointless destruction.

I want to know where all these "Anarchists" popped up from.  When I think "Anarchists" I think poor punk rockers.  How did they afford to stay in the area and not work?!?!

Ill have to watch the video later Ted.

Switch the word "anarchists" with "operatives" and you've got your answer.

I love how each candidate lied through their pearly whites about lobbyists while the river of gravy was flowing all about them at both conventions.

Sort of how they are each calling for no dirty politicking while their respective staffs/aides hurl mud liek it going out of style.  But McCain & Obama are above it.  Right.   ::)

Too bad this sells as reform to those people who think reality shows are real.
It riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave.  Keep on thinking free.
