An amazing fact in this year's
GOP convention was that
James Carville showed up at
Philedelphia, walked into the
convention, and was greeted with a friendly welcome. He's not exactly well-liked in
conservative circles, and yet, the
conservative folks at the
convention managed the
dignity to greet him with a
smile. No, he wasn't
lynched, quite the opposite in fact. Plus the fact that they actually let
Colin Powell up there on the stage meant that the
GOP is going for a more
moderate road. I don't like his
affirmative action ramble, but oh well. Better
moderate than
left.
On the other hand, imagine what would happen if Newt Gingrich walked into the Democratic Convention for a stroll. Here's an imagined sequence of events:
- Rushed by a mob of angry liberals and severely beaten
- Strung up on stage and pelted with large rocks
- Impaled on the spot, and after he's dead, the liberals come on stage to feast on his quivering flesh
A bit exaggerated, but you can be sure that he
definitely won't be treated as nicely as
Carville was treated in
Philedelphia. All the more
proof that the
GOP is far more
inclusive than the
media or the
donkeys like to say. Plus the fact that yes, believe it or not, there are decent people in the
GOP, was largely ignored by
CNN and the rest of the
liberal media, who was happy repeating "rich white male" every 5 seconds.
