Bloomberg | June 25, 2012 | Hans Nichols

[Zakeet]

Bloomberg therefore link only as per their requirements: Democrats May Drop Speedway Event at Charlotte Convention

Gist of article: Rats have already shortened the convention from four days to three ... Rats are about $27 million short on money ... the Royal Idiot and the unions won't chip in ... times are tough!

[Zakeet]

Things like this almost make me sad that I crashed the economy!

[hal ogen]

So they might cancel the speedway event? Well, we’ll still be able to be entertained by the Demolition Derby called the DIMocRAT convention. Losers all.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

Speedway Event? I didn’t think that Democrats were allowed on NASCAR Racetracks.

[moovova]

Might need to start calling it the Democrat Omission.

Very funny! I wish I could squeeze all of that on a t-shirt.

[liberalh8ter]

I can’t even begin to put into words how much hate I have for that ‘man’. His disrespect for this Country is gasp-inspiring. His sense of entitlement is completely reckless as it sets a precedent for his followers and his racism knows no bounds. He has turned the office of President into a joke and a hub of corruption. My daily prayer request is that the tide will turn and once again, good will triumph over this evil.

[apillar]

To anybody that thinks everything is just hunky-dory in Obama re-election land. Just look at the stories that have come out over the last couple weeks. First the story about how the campaign was in the red last month and only has $150 million on hand (they were projected to have $1 billion going into the fall at one time). Then the multiple stories (I think it's up to about 10 now) of the moderate blue-dog democrats that are sitting out the convention. Now this story about the convention being $27 million in debt.

This certainly isn't 2008...or if it is, Obama's 2012 campaign looks more like McCain 2008 than it does Obama 2008.

[Notwithstanding]

PoSsibLe eXplAnaTioNs:

1) Dims can’t fill that venue without offering free stuff to the masses.

2) If Dims did fill that venue, the white privileged people bankrolling it would feel uncomfortable sorrounded by (and/or having to mix with) the crowd who showed up for the free stuff.

[SamAdams76]

Yes, whatever happened to that much-ballyhooed "billion dollar" campaign that Obama was to unleash on us this year. As recently as several months ago, Freepers were quivering with fear that the 2012 election was a lost cause because Obama was going to fly over every major city in a helicopter and drop $20 bills out of the sky.

Now Obama seems to have no issue knocking up Hollywood homosexuals for big wads of cash but elsewhere, a lot of the wells he tapped in 2008 appear to be running dry.

Here’s the accompanying article in Charlotte Observer, a very liberal leftwing rag.

I didn’t think that Democrats were allowed on NASCAR Racetracks.

Ever hear of Hendrick Motorsports?

[Conservative Vermont Vet]

JUST how much more "informed" and "knowedgable" are we Freepers?

Etc.

Does anyone doubt for one minute if the average person was shown this, if they would "get it," including all of it's meaning and nuances, as we all grasp so readily and find this hilarious?

I seriously doubt it; in fact, I know 75% (maybe even 90%) would not!

What does that make "us?"

Besides "Brilliant," Dear Leader's, the Demo-Rat Party, all Liberals and the corrupt, Lame Stream Media's "Biggest Nightmare!"

Soldier on all ye Patriots and Conservatives; there's a War going on for the heart and soul of our Republic and we WILL be victorious!

“...I can’t even begin to put into words how much hate I have for that ‘man’...”

Just an FYI....That is not a “man”, it’s an alien.
Anyway, well, you’ll just have to get in line and take a number. There are literally millions who feel the same way you do about this “boy king” and his destruction of our country. He has declared war on the American people like no one has ever done before. The rest of the government cannot exercise the Balance of Power that is required out of fear of being called “racist”. They literally are frozen in fear of this clown and will wait for the people to vote him out rather than carry out their required duties.... NONE OF THEM wants to have a part in bringing down the first black POTUS regardless of what he does. In my mind, by doing nothing makes them complicit in his dastardly deeds.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

From the Observer article "In January, officials...said they would forgo the traditional Monday opening for a festival at the Speedway to reach a wider audience...the party chairwoman said the change was about “engaging Americans in a meaningful way.”

That's something the good ole boys really enjoy -- "being engaged in a meaningful way."

Typical Dem elitist metrosexual gobbledegook...they can't stop speaking that way for a single second.

[Williams]

Translation: They have lost North Carolina, written it off, and don’t want to spend their money there. Even the convention has been shortened to 3 days so they can get the hell out of there and campaign where they might have a chance.

[Williams]

I say if they drop this event, Romney should get in there that day.

[Raebie]

They can’t get the hell out soon enough to suit me.

[ncfool]

I’d chip in if they were going to Havana on a one way ticket.

[alrea]

They should consider a drag queen talent show to boost ticket sales.

[rockrr]

Yes - toured it last October. I even got to see his private car collection. Awesome place!

[Dilbert San Diego]

Is Obama planning to do a Greek column backdrop at the stadium, rather than inside the convention center? Anybody know? I know he has a certain idea of the proper setting for his speeches.

[GOPJ]

Dems don’t want to get booed ... youtube would light up with it - and the ‘doting court eunuchs’ of the MSM would be forced to notice.

[Mamzelle]

Tea party. In charlotte?

[Republic Rocker]

“They should consider a drag queen talent show to boost ticket sales.”

Exactly..., they can have Nancy Pisslosi organize a S.F. convention where they can all flip off the rest of the God, Country and Family loving nation!

Did they really think they could fool us with a publicity stunt like going to a NASCAR track for a American Flag hating event....? Dumb and Dumber are getting even more so, day by day.... right up to November.... Yeah Baby... USA!

[bigtoona]

I live in Charlotte and I love this. It’s great to see them do the cane-dance to try to explain why they are having to cut back major events at the convention!

Guess they didn’t realize that bankrupting America would also impact the donations they recieve too.

[REPANDPROUDOFIT]

Would someone please explain the reasoning behind choosing NC as the site in the first place. It doesn’t make sense! For Republicans yes, but not for Dims!

[CMailBag]

[RGF]

I hope it’s OK, I copied your post and sent it out as an email. I did credit you, however. Great job.

[CharlesMartelsGhost]

[DoughtyOne]

I was going to mention his donations and cash on hand issue too. This topic is why I am laughing at the projections saying he and Romney are neck and neck.

No they are not neck and neck. One projection I saw just this morning showed Arizona in the non-committed group. Obama will be lucky to get 40% in Arizona after yesterday.

FoxNews is a guilty of this as any other network too. In fact that’s where I saw the Arizona projection. LOL, are they nuts? You get one guess...

Obama is toast. And folks, you’re going to see why folks like myself won’t soil ourselves by voting for Romney.

Here it comes, in living color... four years of dismantling Conservatism by what should by our own team. It’s gonna get ugly. It’s one thing watching the Democrats dismantle our nation. It’s another to watch your own team do it, and realize you have no national organization of this scale, trying to preserve what you and I know should be our nation.
