Are they the Christian-right that took over the Repugs party in order to overthrow R v Wade? They are pissed off because the R’s rode into Washington on their backs, and didn’t follow through with the promises. Is this the plan now? To take over the Democratic party?</p> <p>I keep hearing about “crunchy cons” around my town. The christian right wingers that want to go organic, listen to christian rock music and wear sandals because Jesus did. They don’t like the war and the stigma of it attached to the Repug brand. I think they want to sneak in the back door of the Dem party, and transform IT to their agenda.</p> <p>FUCKING BLUE DOGS.</p> “Conservative Democrats”, huh?

I think Jane’s style is best e.g. less confrontational, more pulling someone into the conversation, before the interviewee know they know what they’re saying. I had a journalist do that to me in a bar once. Work that voodoo!</p> Anyway good work guys.

Something makes me think the banality and acceptance by partygoers is all too real. I sometimes wonder if people are stupid and greedy, lack circumspection and see only perks here and there. There’s also a sense of self-importance that big companies are so good at giving people. I think this is a big problem in a lot of professions, but totally appalling when perks>legislation that benefits only corps. Or leads to unholy alliances, eg. Pfizer/Yale Med School.</p> Well, vendors often host events for different professions at different conventions. Something makes me think the banality and acceptance by partygoers is all too real.

At 3:36, however, I heard a male voice request “just back a little bit, young lady”?

I think he was addressing Jane. He didn’t sound sarcastic, so I assume it is a genuine compliment and not an attempt at a put down.

How did you come across this party? Is it close to the stadium?
