I think the real message is all those empty seats while some moron is at the podium talking loudly.

It's a metaphor of the entire democRAT party.

Where are all the delegates..when the Star Spangled Banner is sung..THEY WERE ABSENT YESTERDAY TOO.

It was sung twice yesterday and most likely will be that way throughout.

Fruit fizz would be good. Or grapefruit juice...or organge, if you like it sweet. I'm not a big bourbon fan.

Love when these politicos do a shout-out to their state delegation and no one is there.

Nancy Farmer, D, MO, comes from...drumroll please...A WORKING FAMILY!

Guess this is a rarity in the D Party. Only their congress critters have jobs.
