Comments on: My first Republican National Convention http://www.greatwhatsit.com/archives/2664 The daily organ of the Northeast Corridor Social Club Sun, 14 Mar 2010 01:54:33 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Michele http://www.greatwhatsit.com/archives/2664#comment-57081 Michele Mon, 25 Aug 2008 19:09:28 +0000 http://www.greatwhatsit.com/?p=2664#comment-57081 I'm not a very poilitcally invovled person, but found your article and read it. I attended the same convention in Houston in 1992 (going to be a senior in high school) with my dad, he was part of the media. I was fortunate enough to be up on stage parallel to the speeches going on. Reading your memories of that week reminded me of SO much I had forgotten. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.

"What"! Dave was a Young Republican?!" Of course it all makes perfect sense. Even more so than being impressed by the fact that people are able to think independently of their parents, I'm always impressed when people are able to really look deeply into themselves and change their own belief systems. I can't imagine ever becoming conservative, which in and of itself seems very, well, conservative. Yeah, I was surprised to read the first line. “What”!

Really, part 2 please. And part 3, pretty please.

I hadn't read the whole article I linked to there, and now I find it contains a totally cringeworthy line: "Garry Trudeau courageously allowed his "Doonesbury" character, B.D., to get his leg shot off, which brought the war home to the funny pages." What a brave cartoonist Trudeau was, facing cartoon combat like that. Yeah, Barbara Bush is basically a monster.
