Even though there was a protest at the Democrat convention, it seemed just actually "polite" to the Democrats. (And I'm talking about the Iraq war vets).

Whereas, at the Republican convention, you had the anarchist, the single issue fanatics, and simply the mindless (and pointless) troublemakers. Denying people access to the convention, destroying property....the usual mindless crap that comes with mindless anarchy.

Those several women I saw disrupting McCains speech - They certainly did not get my sympathy for their cause (whatever the heck it is). Again they denied him and the whole convention the right for free assembly. The right for free speech...And, that's the only thing that I got out of their protest.

And this is the impression I have of those supporting Obama. If I vote for him - I'm condoning these idiots that will trample my rights, my property...All for their single issue, and (perhaps) wrong causes.

And, if this seems unreasonable to some of those that support Obama - Let me remind you - On the bottom line, he really does not have much more to offer than McCain, no matter what you may think, nor how you may spin it.

They were background "static" as McCain put it not to bothered with.
I agree I have no idea what they were protesting as they were not worthy of my attention.

I assume that you think Obama and/or the Democrats sent those people to St Paul to do whatever it is that they do. I seriously doubt that either the Obama folks or the Democrats sent them there. But if you find out otherwise, let me know!
