As a matter a fact are any political conventions fun? Because next to waiting for the Pope to show up at the X-mas or Easter mass(which ever one it is) these things looks like the worst snore-fest ever. I feel that the only time it was cool to go to one of these was during the 60's and early 70's when you had no idea who should show and throw a Molotov cocktail at a speaker.
Seriously, has anyone at RT ever gone to one and did you have a good time? Do they have a huge buffet that you can keep going to through-out the day and is there plenty of bacon? Are the hot single women dying to get laid right after a exciting speech?

I hear the strip clubs and escort services have to hire extra help when the Republican conventions come to town.

So I'd say at the very least theirs is fun.

See I knew their would have to be something like this going on majorly during these conventions. Like right now Ann (who give a fcuk what his wife thinks) Romney is speaking and it's the perfect time to slip out the backdoor and get some pink snow cones.

Speaking of backdoors, I like to think of the Romneys entering through the backdoor...
Goodfella style.

Things tend to pick up after they sacrifice a few union leaders to the Spirit of Reagan.

I don't know, but I just watched ten seconds of Chris Christie talking about humble beginnings, and I got a headache, a stomachache, and an anti-boner.

Robert Downey Jr attended both conventions in 1992 for his documentary The Last Party. He definitely had a better time with the Democrats, but the RNC allowed him a chance to unleash "goatboy".

But if you want the classic party for any convention, it'd have to be the Democrats from Chicago 1968. Terry Southern wrote beautifully about it, hanging out with William S Burroughs and Jean Genet. The last part is worth quoting:

Then by the sheerest chance I spotted a guy I knew, just as he was dangling his key in front of the glass. He was able to get me in, and we immediately went to the hotel bar on Michigan, the windows of which afforded a grandstand view of the melee which followed. By now it had all become like some strange, and sickening, spectator sport.

Bill Styron and John Marquand Jr. were also in the bar and there was a certain undeniable decadence in the way we sat there, drinks in hand, watching the kids in the street getting wiped out. Tear-gas fumes began to permeate even the locked door, and at the height of the slaughter five or six kids were pushed through a plate-glass window on one side of the bar. The cops rushed in after them. "Get the hell outta here!" a cop was yelling, which they were trying to do as fast as possible. But something was wrong with one of them, a thin blond boy about seventeen. "I can't walk," he said.

"You'll walk outta here, you little son of a *****!" said the cop and clubbed him across the side of the head with his stick. Two of the others seized him by the shirt and started dragging him across the floor of the bar and through the lobby.

Next to me a middle-aged man, wearing a straw hat with a Hubert Humphrey band, watched the incident with distaste.

"Those damn kids," he muttered, "I haven't seen a clean one yet." Then he looked back out into street where, at that moment, a flying squad of blue helmets and gas masks, clubs swinging, charged straight into a crowd obviously of bystanders.

"Hell," he grunted, "I'd just as soon live in one of those damn police states as put up with that kind of thing."

If you're colour of choice on ppls skin is white, you might be a Republican.

[Sister Shotgun]

"Republican" and "fun" should never be in the same sentence.

[The Mighty Dingus]

Once these racist money-grubbers get a couple drinks in them, it's an out-of-the-closet, corn-holing free-for-all. So, yes. Fun!

How about:

"If there was ever a place I knew that I wouldn't have any fun, it was the Republican National convention."

[Methuselah]

"Ahhh its nice to stare out over an ocean of white faces."

[RememberTHISguy]

I'm sure the menu consists of lots and lots of insects at Reptilian conventions.

Good old Rupublicans....always mispelling or making up new words.

[Jackal P.I.]

This is the first Twitter convention. I'm betting on some interesting tweets from the Ron Paul side after awhile.

Missionary position only.

Modern mainstream political conventions aren't "fun", though I'm holding out hope that the surprise speaker on Thursday is Jon Lovitz, the latest former Saturday Night Live cast member to turn to the R side.

I'm sure the DNC will be equally bland, but most people here except us right wing outliers won't notice because it's only the politics with which you disagree that is boring.

[SupernaturallyContrarian]

RNC isn't boring. it's frightening and racist.

[audierules]

Is it like going to a sporting event and you have to pay for food at the concessions stands or do you get free grub because you donated so much?

Hold on a sec, Jon Lovitz is a freakin Republican?!!! Please let him show up and say, Acting!"

[Jyan]

Man, I bet those young folks have some real fun. That many straight-laced, opinionated men and women in one place need to let out that steam somewhere, I bet those hotel rooms are orgytastic.
