My colleagues at ThinkProgress have done a nifty analysis of which words were used heavily and which rarely at the GOP Conveniton. We’ve got 14 POWs, 11 Mavericks, 5 hockey moms, 4 nuclear weapons, and 1 Osama bin Laden.
EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH AND HELP SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS creepy promotional video for a workshop at Wasilla Assembly of God (Sarah Palin’s longtime church)
And McCain is running for the nomination of Bush’s party!
Why, it’s almost like they want us to forget that Republicans have been in power for the last eight* years…
* how *are* we counting that weird little blip where Senate Democrats had a nominal and toothless majority from June 2001 to September 11 November 2002?
Outside the convention the most heard phrase was “Where can I find some gay action?” Not that there’s anything wrong with it (it is just they are such hypocrites)
Here’s a simple rule: anything associated with CAP (ThinkProgress’ and MattY’s parent company) has to be taken with a mountain of salt because they frequently engage in LogicalFallacies, “forget” to mention facts, mischaracterize their opponents’ arguments, etc. I’m sure the reader will find that rule holds in 99% of cases.
So, for instance, one might wonder why they put immigration under their “civil rights” headings. While the part of that topic involving citizens does involved civil rights, the parts that involve others does not or is much more tenuous.
Discussing that is left as an exercise to MattY’, aka “MattY prime”. That’s the smart twin of MattY who doesn’t engage in CAP-style thinking. Unfortunately, MattY’ doesn’t exist.

When you watch this video REMEMBER…this was Sarah Palin’s church for nearly her entire life.
The man with in the leather jacket donning a goatee was Sarah Palin’s pastor from 1999 till 2002.
She continues to have close ties to this church and is involved with workshops there.

Only one Bush?
But the media keeps telling us how popular he is!
And McCain is running for the nomination of Bush’s party!

The Republican Party has not been anywhere near Washington DC for, like, it must be like 8 years or more or something. It’s time for CHANGE!

I think I’ve become a neo-con. The selection and marketing of Sarah Palin confirms their darkest anti-democratic (small d) beliefs.

No ‘mooseburger’? That might have been the most mentioned thing about Sarah Palin.

re: 24AheadDotCom
I’d be interested in hearing your defense of torture.

Also non-existent? A non-racist version of The LoneWacko (now going under the name 24AheadDotCom).
Go away racist scum.
