The Democrats won’t require picture ID cards to get in will they? That would be racist.

Is this because of the far-Left plot to kidnap delegates and bomb police cars at the GOP convention?

In other words, "Let's hand out more federal money to police forces to garner their vote. However, we don't want those frightening armored vehicles that we re-appropriated to local authorities to be seen at the event."

It’ll free up another $50,000,000 for the DNC to spend on Roman columns at the coronation of Hillary.

I say reduce security at both conventions by 50%.

These politicians don’t deserve to have more money for keeping us all locked up in “free speech” zones.

So do they fear their own constituents they failed or the muslims they failed more?

By any rational measure they succeeded wildly and America as we knew it is long gone. But libs being what they are see the Dems as not having kept the bargain.

Why? Obama’s made everywhere so much safer for all. This borders on heresy against El Douche.

Well I certainly hope none of those security people are carrying firearms. Why, to hear the ‘rats tell it, firearms practically jump right up and kill people all on their own. Or maybe they have the same effect as the one right - corrupt anyone who carries them. So let’s see if the ‘rats are hypocrites (ha, like we have to ask) or if they declare their convention a gun free zone - for everyone, including security.

I think it’s just normal senatorial swilling for more cash for the combat zones known as cleveland and philadelphia. I doubt they would even spend it on what they claim they want to spend it on.

Pay for it yourself, sh*theads.

I hope the extreme-left protesters storm your convention.
