I can barely believe what I am seeing and hearing tonight from speakers at the GOP convention! parallel universe, indeed!
Stop the presses on the DSM VI!! This stuff has got to get into it first! And viewing of this convention as part of required coursework for psychologists and psychiatrists!

Who knew Meg Whitman was such a Kool-aid drinker?! All those rhapsodic accolades on McCain who "will get congress to listen to him." Oh, really? Like, he hasn't been in that body and a senator for a hundred years, able to corner those 'Washington types' in the hall ways or the washroom and get them to listen?
McCain is going to put 'America first,' 'cuz we've been taking such a back seat in the world and they'll really love us when we get serious and turn-up the arrogance and militarism even further?
John McCain wants to release American creativity and freedom so that people can pursue happiness and contribute more to our country? Is that why he favors restrictions on same-sex marriage and drew closer to the "just say no" religious right?
You too, Carly Fiorina! Americans are struggling, we need to fix the economy, make it easier for Americans to start businesses, get retraining and so much more?? So who has been in charge all these years? George something - and I was pretty sure he was a Republican? How much effort did you put into helping American workers versus importing them and outsourcing and extending visas because you were drunk on the lower-cost labor?
McCain is going to get Bin Laden and keep us safe? Soooo, instead of a "surge" in Iraq, why wasn't he pushing for more troops in the hills of Afghanistan where OBL actually is?! So much closer than Hell, mind you!
Bulletin! OMG - and Mitt Romney was just decrying Single-parent homes and promiscuity! With a straight face!!
Republicans - "It's OK when we do it, but don't think you're allowed to."
What has your party been doing for the last eight years, people? Wow, what an appeal to the America of 30 years ago this convention is! They are so out of touch with recent past reality and now, they could never grasp what our real future looks like!
Tired old attacks against "liberals," "Al Gore," terrorists...Ugh and the chanting, jingoistic, "America first" and "USA" is skin-curdlingly embarrassing!
