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!

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.

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

Might need to start calling it the Democrat Omission.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

2012 DNC NATIONAL CONVENTION SCHEDULE

4:00 PM Opening Flag Burning Ceremony
4:05 PM Singing of “God Damn America” led by Rev. Jeremiah Wright
4:10 PM Pledge of Allegiance to Obama

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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