The diversity at the Republican convention is amazing.....
I see old white men, middle-aged white men, blond white men, white-haired white men, brunette white men, pudgy white men, balding white men, Laura Bush, short white men......

10. ...And even some Eastern Europeans.
The weenies meet the bangers meet the bratwurst meet the kielbasa.

7. Yeah, I noticed that, too! I saw a few token minorities, that's about it. nt
That should say a lot right there.

13. I can't believe the crowd didn't start throwing food at McCain's son's godfather--
He was talking about McCain and his immigration stance. I told my husband "boy THAT ought to go over well with all the racist Repubs I know!"

14. Are you kidding? They're all for immigration...
...as long as it's comprised of undocumented illegals to whom they can pay dirt wages.

16. In my neck of the woods they all want them kicked out and sent back
because they think they're sucking all the medical, education, welfare system dry! It may be the rich Rethugligans that want them here and illegal but the poorer, low info ones want them gone! That's mostly what I've run into.

17. That's funny because I know pro-labor Dems...
...that are none too keen on illegal immigration and would like to see the flow of illegals cease.
