Hmmmm... Don't mean to bash here too much, but there was no need for riot gear when Dems met, but now Republicans get together and there will be problems. Dems are less protested than Republicans - make your own conclusions.

I just hope all of us here will get off our geeky asses and go vote.

So? The Bushies have been doing that for all their meetings...they invented the "free speech zones".

That said, I really don't quite get the need for WiFi helmets...the Republicans lock up all their non-supporters in designated areas 7-9 miles away from the event. Let 'em go nuts behind the chain link and razor wire. :P

Oh come on, for lords sakes without taxes you wouldn't even have the means to post that remark. Without taxes there's no money for the corporate welfare to pay for that broadband network you aren't paying didly squat for. Without taxes there is no money for the teachers that taught you how to use the computer in the first place. Without taxes there is no money to pay for the police in the streets, your 911 service, the water that comes out of your tap, the concrete or asphalt in front of your house, the road you drive to work on....... i would hope you can keep connecting the dots. One person can't create a country as fine as ours, it needs to be a team effort. Therefore taxes have to rise right along with the cost of living or our country's most important assets do not get paid well enough to do their jobs correctly and have a happy life.

I wished Howard Dean would have made the primaries, but I will be damned if it's my fault we have another four years of this crap.
