August Townhall Meetup
Last night was the monthly Townhall meetup, which I generally refer to as my monthly beer and politics night. Surprisingly, Darrell, who books the room for us, booked the patio instead. Not sure why, and it is possible that was the backup plan in the event some other group had beat us to booking the meeting room. Very likely this time around. Fortunately it was a nice evening to be out on the patio, and we had a smaller than usual turnout of 10-12 people, including Peter and Barbara returning after a nearly year long absence.
The downside of being on the patio is there is typically not table service, however, the people running the place came to the rescue and we did get table service. The bigger downside is no Guinness. Absolutely sinful!
This month it was more of an open forum as there wasn't any kind of forethought as to what topics to hit on. Not surprising with the bridge collapse the day before.
Although we did hit on the bridge collapse a bit, focusing on the moonbats who are politicizing the event, we otherwise stayed away from it out of respect for those killed and injured by this disaster. It's bad enough that there are whacko's on the left who are politicizing as part of their own agenda. And it is way too early to be able to discuss intelligently what caused the bridge to collapse.
We did have fun talking about what is going on in the Democratic Primary, especially with the recent verbal sparring between Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton. I think that the consensus is that Hillary is beating Obama in the greater war of words like a bango drum, proving that Obama not only lacks smarts, but also lacks the needed savvy to be a leader. Of course Obama doesn't need Hillary's help in showing how ignorant he is: he is doing a good job of that on his own by stating he would invade Pakistan, one of our allies, and that he would not use nuclear weapons under any circumstances.
One good question brought up is if Hillary is beating the snot out of Obama (ever notice how MS Word wants to correct the spelling of Obama to Osama?), then why is he leading the pack on fund raising? The big money coming out of the entertainment industry probably has a lot to do with it.
Also mentioned were the allegations of election fraud on the part of Hillary Clinton. This is something I heard about for the first time a few days ago and I am not very informed on it. These allegations are being put forth by a guy named Peter Paul who claims Hillary Clinton knowingly failed to report millions of dollars in hard money contributions.
Overall, this was more of a low key event this time around.
