Republicans Prepare for Tampa Tap-Dancing Spectacular!
“This is the platform of the Republican Party; it’s not the platform of Mitt Romney.”
—Reince Priebus, deftly distracting attention from a GOP plank that calls for “legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children,” so nobody will mention it ever again.
Priebus: GOP platform ‘not the platform of Mitt Romney’ [NBC]
Huh? Are they not even trying to make sense any more?
@Dodgerblue: Details are just things your opponents use against you.
So what happens if this tropical depression No. 9, as a hurricane, hits Tampa (oh please oh please oh please)? I’d like to know what their contingency plans are.
@rptrcub: Remember they had to delay the 2008 convention because of a hurricane. Somewhere out there is a brilliant Daily Show video with Wyatt Cenac bemoaning the fate of all those white people trapped in the auditorium.
@Dodgerblue: I am slack-jawed in astonishment, which I thought was no longer possible. What’s next–“Although running on the Republican ticket, Romney is not actually a member of the Republican Party and disavows all knowledge of their positions”?

Mitt Romney

@homofascist: Oh hell no. You couldn’t pay me enough to click a link like that.
First the Akin thing, then the GOP announces plans to make the convention theme “We Built This” while holding it inside a convention center built and maintained with public funds.
Tropical Depression 9 may be heading for Tampa as a hurricane.
Coincidence, or did Sky Jeebus finally decide that he’s pissed? ;)
Rod Serling warned the GOP back in 1964 – don’t invite these people onto your front porch. Now they’re surprised that they’ve taken over. Ha!
@mellbell: Bless you for hunting that down.
@homofascist: Plus every wetsuit and whip in a 250 mile radius of Tampa has been already purchased or marked up 100%
@Mistress Cynica: Mittens is just outraged, OUTRAGED, at Todd Akin’s comments….which are identical to his running mate’s….
