that's because the convention is not reflective of the nature of the
movement, which is a bottom-up, decentralized affair.

At least it doesn't require the use of a TelePrompter to feed real-time
information to the POTUS.

It is reported that Cash for Clunkers will cost the US taxpayers present
and future $24,000 each and for Dough for Abodes will cost the US
taxpayers present and future $42,000 each.

Cash for Clunkers gave the participants $4,500 dollars for each vehicle
and it cleared out the recently used inventory of cars.

Dough for Abodes gave the participants $8,000 each purchase, or there
abouts.

If anybody thinks this is long term stimulus they are nuts. And, the
only jobs created are in government to account for all of the taxpayers
money that went out the door.

Right. With crib notes scrawled on the palm of your hand. I get it.

Ah, so incoherent scribblings on the palm of your hand necessary to
answer softball, pre-determined, questions, trumps using a teleprompter
to give coherent and factually correct speeches, or holding an inpromptu
Q&A session with the GoP for an hour, does it?

Strange world you live in.
