GOP convention in St. Paul, MN

Here I go again - blasting the GOP this time. Hold on to your panties.

So the Minneapolis StarTribune reported on June 23rd that the GOP was still seeking 6,000 additional volunteers to help out with the GOP convention held at the beginning of September. Wow. That's a lot to still have left outstanding. All the political pundits out there are saying the MN is 'up for grabs' or is a purple state for the presidential election in November. If this were REALLY true, would the GOP still be seeking 6,000 additional volunteers to pull their gig off?

Comments on the article included those who believe that you should put aside your party affiliation and do what is best for the state of MN. We will be on 'display' on a national level and we need to look good. Well, you know what? There is not a way in **** I will be helping the GOP in any way shape or form. St. Paul, MN will look as it always does and whether or not I volunteer the results will be the same. Gimmie a break.

So looking to the DMC convention in Denver, CO. Gee, they have 21,000 volunteers already signed up and ready to go. Huh.

Message to the GOP - hold the darn party in your solidified back yard and you won't have to hunt and beg for help. Oh, and stop trying to make a message out of the location of your gig. It won't work here.
