Essay/Commentary: "Political Conventions Are a Complete Waste of Time and Money"
The other day I looked up the cost to the U.S. taxpayer for both the Republican and Democratic Presidential Conventions. The number is an exorbitant one hundred million plus, when you take security into account. This money could certainly be put to better use, such as paying down the deficit or helping those people (usually through no fault of their own) who are struggling in this horrible economy. Unfortunately, instead the money will go to waste for the usual false promises, deceptions and blatant lies; and in the case of the GOP convention, cheerleading the usual pernicious policies and insidious agenda of the extreme wrong-wing of the Republican Party which caused our economic woes in the first place under George W. Bush's so-called leadership, and now threatens many of the freedoms many of us take for granted.
