Moore in USA Today: "Welcome, Republicans"
Not sure if it's been posted here yet, but it's a great column, and I thought I'd share the link.

The GOP doesn't reflect America

Michael Moore, Filmmaker


NEW YORK — Welcome, Republicans. You're proud Americans who love your country. In your own way, you want to make this country a better place. Whatever our differences, you should be commended for that.
But what's all this talk about New York being enemy territory? Nothing could be further from the truth. We New Yorkers love Republicans. We have a Republican mayor and governor, a death penalty and two nuclear plants within 30 miles of the city.

New York is home to Fox News Channel. The top right-wing talk shows emanate from here — Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly among them. The Wall Street Journal is based here, which means your favorite street is here. Not to mention more Fortune 500 executives than anywhere else.

You may think you're surrounded by a bunch of latte-drinking effete liberals, but the truth is, you're right where you belong, smack in the seat of corporate America and conservative media.

2. Just read this article from Mike - He's right-most of the Repubs are RINOS
...and this "Convention" is trying to appeal to them and putting on quite the "Show" - problem is, it isn't the real face of the leadership of the current Republican party....

What a farse this whole charade is....Hopefully the voters, especially undecideds can see through the gargage and lies...smoke and mirrors, and see the Wizards/Lizards behind the curtain....
