The hallmark of the speeches at the Republican convention were dishonesty and hypocrisy wrapped in incompetence; that of the Republican Party's and the current Republican White House reprehensible record and the appalling record of the 2008 Republican candidates, Sid and Sarah.

 

Sarah Palin showed that on Wednesday night and J. Sid McSame last evening.

 

Sid's speech even had an extra bit of ineptness...the backdrop.  It was probably supposed to be Walter Reed Hospital in Washington but what was shown was Walter Reed Middle School in California.  (No explanation was given by the RNC or the McSame campaign--so it could have been a new addition to the McCain's string of eight homes.)

 

However, J. Sid was framed in the lower portion of the backdrop...green grass...as hideous as the lime green Jell-O setting of months ago.

 

He proceeded to deliver a speech that seemed to have more themes than he has houses, that is, all over the place in his stilted, halting style.

 

Basically, Sid was arguing with himself. 

 

What else can you conclude when his party, the right wing, conservative Republicans, have held held the White House since 2000, both houses of Congress were Republican controlled until last year?  All the horrific policies damaging this country and its people were inflicted by Republicans: the Bush-Cheney regime, and its Republican rubber stampers on Capitol Hill, one of which was McSame.

 

So, he's arguing that he plans to change from himself and the Republicans to...himself and the Republicans.

 

What's wrong with that picture?  It's Orwell in Alice in Wonderland.  We don't need four more years of that.
