Dems pick Philly for '16 convention
Politico ^ | February 12, 2015 | Mike Allen and James Hohmann

Posted on 02/12/2015 7:06:53 AM PST by C19fan

Philadelphia has been chosen as the host of the 2016 Democratic National Convention, party officials announced Thursday. The decision is a huge disappointment for New York City, where Mayor Bill de Blasio had made a major effort to land the convention for Brooklyn. The city had put together a rich financial package to lure the Democratic National Committee.

Ah yes, Philly, where precincts vote 125% for RAT candidates, including Barry Soetero.

Chosen for PR value by the anti-freedom party.

Just hearing or reading anything about Philadelphia makes me sad. Such an important city in our country’s history, turned to utter crap by years of democratic “leadership,” and of course, “diversity.”

That was one of their better moments. Actually Santa Claus was stumbling down, falling-over drunk. That's the reason he was booed. But Philadelphia for the most part is still a hell hole. The RATs deserve that.

While I am first in line to trash the corruption and dysfunction of my old home town, the Santa line is getting really old. They booed a skinny kid dragged off the street to fill in for a no-show Santa when the Eagles were 2-10. A little too much has been made of this for the last 47 years.

Perfect. The party that booed God will hold its convention in the town that booed Santa.

Oh, this should be interesting.
Of course the meme will be Philly’s revolutionary
history, but the riots might make it a little tough.

The Dims deserve Philadelphia.

Agree. The city of America’s birth hosting a ‘RAT Stalinist Anti-freedom Party conclave.

More likely a free track suit, with a gold chain. It is Philly.

First controversy of the campaign, Provolone or Cheese Whiz?

http://articles.philly.com/2008-05-23/news/24990246_1_cheez-whiz-cheesesteak-frank-olivieri

...Barack and Michelle Obama, as well as Bill and Chelsea Clinton, ate at Pat’s - and had Whiz.

But pundits, pleez note: Whiz wasn’t first historically, and it’s no runaway favorite regionwide...
