I'm checking out the audience, when the camera pans them.

I haven't seen a black person, a person of color, an asian-american. I think I've seen one person that might be a minority.

I see a lot of ten gallon cowboy hats, and older white men.


The Chimp actually gave an okay speech I thought. Not that I agreed with it. But, he obviously practiced it and delivered it well.

It is probably because they were all paid rich people that attended. Or they could have been cardboard cutouts?

I think most of the people in the audience are supposed to be elected delegates from the 50 states and various territories.

Guess that goes to show how well the left and the MSM have alienated the GOP from minorities with their lies and handouts.

Hate to break it to you...I'm watching and I've seen all that you mentioned above. Stop being pathetic. We need to get above this sort of trashy rhetoric. All Dems aren't open-minded angels...all Repubs aren't hateful bigots.

Here's an op-ed by JC Watts, explaining why he thinks the GOP doesn't care about black americans.

ReviewJournal.com - Opinion - J.C. WATTS: Does GOP care about the black vote?

The op-ed that's titled concerns the black vote, NOT black Americans?

Careful, your spin is showing.

We could just mention Fred Thompson's words..

Sarah Palin is "A breath of fresh air"

If she's a breath of fresh air, then I'm the pope.

And he says "McCain and Palin will drain that swamp that is D.C"

You mean the swamp that up until the last elections had a Republican Controlled Congress and currently the Dems have a slim lead in?

The swamp that a republican President was in charge of for 8 years?

Is it just me or does that not make sense to hear that coming from a Republican?

NPR had interviews with a black caucus. their numbers are down this year, the interviewee thought that many wanted to be part of the movement for 'this moment in history' on the democratic side.

She quoted numbers around 1- 2 % of delegates this year are black; the highest the GOP has had at its convention, in the past, was 4% black.

They didn't cover other minorities.

Certainly the women are fired up in the GOP!

This is your victory." -Barack Obama, November 4th 2008

Watch closely---it's how a party cleans house--I know it's hard for some to understand.

"But though there is no difference in this respect between the best demagogue and the worst, both of them having to present their cases equally in terms of melodrama, there is all the difference in the world between the statesman who is humbugging the people into allowing him to do the will of God, in whatever disguise it may come to him, and one who is humbugging them into furthering his personal ambition and the commercial interests of the plutocrats who own the newspapers and support him on reciprocal terms."
-George Bernard Shaw

1%??

That's why I haven't seen virtually any black people.

Exactly the same place it was the 8 years prior to the past 8 years with a Democratic President and Congress.

Not even good. Try again.

I know this is how a party cleans house. I'm just stating the fact that it goes against common sense.

Congress from 92-00 and 01-09 is quite different. Like for example, during 01-09 you see all these Republicans being arrested for various charges including corruption. Like the longest serving Republican Senator in the Senate. (Ted Stevens)

If you honestly believe we're better off during the Dubya years then the Clinton years..

Oh and look boys and girls: Joe Liberman, the "Democrat" is speaking for the RNC convention. Could of swore he was supporting McCain and is a Independent senator now.
