Democrats Having Second Thoughts About Convention In NC(It is all falling apart for the Democrats!)
National Journal ^ | May 10, 2012 | George E. Condon Jr.

Posted on 05/10/2012 12:22:21 PM PDT by AmonAmarth

Democrats who already were queasy about the site of their national convention could be excused after Tuesday's election in North Carolina if they asked, "Tell me again just why we're going to Charlotte this year?" In fact, many Democrats privately are asking exactly that after the state's voters overwhelmingly approved a measure outlawing not just same-sex marriage -- which already was illegal in North Carolina -- but also any form of civil unions. Almost immediately after the vote, more than 20,000 people signed a "move the convention" petition being pushed by a New York group called Gay Marriage USA. And Twitter accounts lit up with hundreds of angry tweets demanding the party pull out of Charlotte.

LOL the Commie left is defeated. They are giving up on NC, they lose NC, they lose the election. It won’t matter how many dead people and illegals they get to vote for them, they KNOW they are going down in November!

You know, they would probably do that.
Rahm rules Chicago.
Isn’t the gov of NC a big lib dim?
Bet she will be really feeling the love if her party pulls out of her state and leaves them high and dry.
And you know they have already budgeted in all the tax revenue they would take in from the Convention.

Bet there is a lot of begging going on about now.

Only if they bring back Mayor Daley....at least he did some good back then.

However this time the Secret Service will be protecting the commie punk from the Chicago police.

Maybe Hollyweird would be a good place. Then the President could go practice gay marriage with his constituents.

I’m thinking San Francisco would be a good place for them to have it.

some clown of a mayor like Emmanuel or Bloomers will force the local convention center to cancel their current obligation and give the DNC a discount..

They can hold it at a rest-stop mens room at this point.

I dunno if you’ve ever been to P-town, but it’s really small. We used to spend a couple of weeks every summer in my mother’s aunt’s place in Truro, next down to the south. There isn’t much in Truro except beachs and shacks, so we’d go to Truro for tourist stuff.

I’ve been to P-town lots of times and it was pleasant, the fags were colorful, but not militant or unpleasant. It used to be about 50/50 fags and summer tourists. (Fags is what they called themselves, btw.)

Hehehe.. Democrats are starting to implode

Agree. The party seems to be in complete disarray. It's going to be another 20 years before they decide anything again.

Maybe they should consider San Francisco where they can feel the love and Nancy Pelosi can welcome them to a like minded district.

You’re right. It’s not like they really need much. Just a stage, some Greek columns and a teleprompter. Voila, convention site!

I’ve spent lots of time in the Carolinas, and people there are not much different than in Massachusetts or anywhere else. For the most part, homosexuals who behave civilly will be welcomed in the Carolinas or almost anyplace outside of the Caliphate. Heterosexuals who act like jackasses will not be welcomed anywhere.

I hear HAVANNA has enough convention space available that week.

I suggest the Greek island of Lesbos. Appropriate on two counts.

As a SC Upstate resident, I also agree these slimy creatures should go where they feel comfortable. How about Detroit, or
Chicago?

1)Move Dem convention to San Francisco.

2)Disconnect Bay Area from mainland United States and set it floating out to sea.

Wave bye-bye.

I sure hope they decide to relocate it. Not just because of the huge expense that will be incurred by the DNC, the planning committee and virtually every media outlet, but also because of the message it sends to the voters. ‘You will do things our way, or we will punish you.’

This isn't a ‘we agree to disagree’ type response. It is a ‘our way or the highway’ type moment and will be a dramatic reminder that liberals are the party that blocks compromise - they do not consider a compromise to be anything other than full capitulation to their way of thinking.

Hundreds of hours of free coverage of the convention by local media will be out the window if they up and move away from this battleground state. And where are they going? To a state that didn't vote to amend their constitutions to keep politicians from re-defining the word marriage? Like... California? Oh, right, this left coast bastion did the same thing.

Well, those Nancy Pelosi hicks can cross themselves off of the tolerance list of acceptable places to hold a convention. Surely there's some place in the nation where the people have voted for the word marriage to be changed to mean something else...right?

Pack up the bags, DNC, move the convention, and dig yourselves a hole.
