Silence speaks volumes

It’s not as much as what was sad at last night’s snore-a-palooza, aka the republican national convention, but more so what wasn’t said.

“President” Bush wasn’t mentioned at all… that’s right, not one, single, time.

I’ll pause for a moment until you stop laughing…

...

...

You okay? Don’t strain something laughing too hard...

It’s no surprise that last night’s speakers have failed to discuss the economy (it’s one, of many, McCain weaknesses)… but it IS a tad surprising that they never once mentioned the leader of their party, “President” Bush.

Per the fine folks at TPM Election Central who searched the texts of the speeches so Iyou don’t have to found no mention of the words “Bush” or “president” as relating to Dubya.

This isn’t a surprise… when you’re trying to sell yourself, you focus on your best points and downplay your weaknesses.

That’s what the republicans are doing right now…

Of course they’re not going to talk about the economy or Bush, aka the Human Lliability, for the same reasons they won’t point to their record on affordable healthcare, the war on terror or Iraq.

It sucks.

And yet they continue to trot out the line that they’re proud to be republicans… but if they’re so proud of their own party and how they’re “just” and “right for our country”… why wouldn’t you talk about your party’s leader…

Because he sucks… even more so than the party in general… so they’re trying to put as much space between them and the White House as they can.

We won’t let that happen, will we?

No way. No how. No Quayle Palin. No McCain McBush.
