Every night of both
the Democratic and Republican National Conventions, I am going to do some type
of recap of the events that transpired both on the convention floor, as well as
in the media surrounding the event. I’m going to try to call out both party’s
on any shenanigans that they pull, as well as praise them if they deserve it, but
from the word “go”, understand I’m a liberal, so some bias might kick in.
Did You Really “Build
That”, GOP?
The theme of the opening night of the Republican National
Convention was the term “We built that”, a reference to a speech made by
President Barack Obama in Virginia earlier this year. The GOP has seized upon
this quote and made it into a rallying cry about how the President believes
that the only road to success is paved with government succor (and yes, I
deliberately used this metaphor to emphasize the stupidity of the whole thing),
and there are a couple of moments tonight that really hammered home the
absurdity of the whole spectacle.
