um… isn’t revered keeper of the Supreme Court gate, Mr Snodgrassley, also wavering? his alleged excuse being that he can’t afford the hotel room?
These excuses are BS because they’d only need to show their face for a day or so, but I’ll hand it to Grassley, feigning poverty really is novel for a GOPer who’s been in the business for as long as he has.
Why are they so ashamed of their party? I’d like to see them questioned like that.
If they don’t like the way the people in their party have spoken, who are they to ignore it?
They just don’t want to get “any” on themselves — Way too ickie —
I am having a hard time keeping a straight face. So much BS in one place makes me laugh, A LOT!
There is no physical distance in the universe that could keep them from being splattered with the filth that is this year’s GOP convention.
The closest they could come to avoiding the fallout would be to openly and loudly proclaim that they are leaving the Republican Party, and even that is not a sure cure at this stage of the process.
There’s always the ol’ “I want to spend more time with my family.” ?!?! That one’s used by them all the time and is always handy when the Cons, Baggers and assorted wingnuts of the Republican Cult are caught in any number of assorted scandals.
___ Actually, it’s amazing that anyone WOULD want to run into a burning barn or rush into a sh*t storm.
Gawwd’! I can’t wait til’ the Trumpalooza’ on the Cuyahoga is underway!
It’s interesting–most of these characters would be “superdelegates” if they were Democrats, so skipping the convention would be a bigger deal.
At first glance on their logo, I thought it was an elephant about to mate with a Brachiosaurus.
Is that a guitar? Because… ?
Don’t forget Senator Richard Burr from North Carolina, who’s supposed to be in a relatively safe seat, who’s not going because, “I’m more valuable outside of Cleveland than inside of Cleveland.”
The problem in the Republican Party is that their friends; Kock brothers, etc. aren’t spending enough money:-).
Convention…in August…in Cleveland?
Um…that’s when I go visit my money in Cayman and Panama.
You know how some urologists encourage patients who want vasectomies to have them right before major weekend sporting events, so they can convalesce at home on the couch, watching the game on TV?
I’m just throwing this out: Next July might be a good time for Republicans to schedule any elective surgery they’ve been putting off.
Chris Christie will be there, right behind Trump and Carson will show but most likely won’t be lucid.
Romnerd will do a fly by because honestly, he still has hope of being POTUS.
All the ladies in waiting will attend and they will keep on waiting.
Really, the less is more thing applies for the Repubs, convening all of the groups that Trump and Cruz have alienated just to offend them even further makes no sense. Let the Party pick the candidate like always and quit rocking the boat.
Outsiders are out and insiders are in, this is simple.
Shameless cowards: All!
July 18-21, just as good.
And the Kochs are saying, “We never liked the politics of these guys anyway. Too left-wing.”
It’s their party , they can whine if they want to … you would whine too if self-inflicted s*it happened to you.
Yes, it’s the top half of a Fender Stratocaster. It is a mirror-image, perhaps to resemble Jimi Hendrix’s left-handed Stratocaster?
Edited to add:
Or on second thought, the Grand Ole’ Troll Party wants their elephant facing to the right and looking at the body of the guitar rather than the headstock.
Because… ?
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is in Cleveland. The Stratocaster was a very popular guitar among rock-and-rollers.
