Every four years this stupidity is pointed out by people who have no ability to change it...

... and even when someone like a Bernie Sanders who would have eschewed the frivolous plump and sillystance comes along, he is shot down by his own party members (for those who haven't heard, wikileaks has confirmed the fraud and favoritism in the DNC towards the HRC - they're all a bunch pf fucking hypocrites)

BTW - where in the FUCK was that photo taken?

100 million for 8 days of circle jerking each other. This doesn't include the costs that each party pays. The RNC was what, $64 million, DNC is creeping past $40 million.

Now we are over $200,000,000. Ridiculous. I know, I know the 100million that each party pays is from donors and not tax payers, but thats 100million not in the tax pool anymore.

I'm not going to debate where the money should go, but that would fill a lot of fridges for people who need food; that is a lot of medical care for veterans; that can build a lot of roads; fix some schools; or hell pay off some debt.

But no.... Bad speeches, stupid hats, and, balloons...those are the important things.

Wrong!

The political parties pay for the conventions. No tax money is involved!
