Tis the season to choose a convention site, tra la, tra la!
At the moment, the most convention-oriented city to pursue the GOP (and which does not have now or in the recent past, legislation to close restaurants and bars to "teh gay") is Las Vegas.
Rahm, and several other big city mayors, have stated that they have no interest, or else they want both the R & D conventions. So, all or none at all. It looks like Las Vegas in a landslide for 2016.
The top ten reasons why this is a good thing:
1. All the prostitutes are already living in Vegas, so there is no need for the GOP to import any like they do in other convention cities. (Workers in the sex trade complain that D conventions rarely keep them busy, while the family values crowd has them working overtime)
2. All convention center hotels have tons of sex channels available in each room. (whenever Teabaggers or conservative christians have a convention, sex channel purchases go through the roof. Especially when they bill it as something benign and not sex TV related)
3. Vegas is famous for putting people into debt, making stupid gambling decisions. Ditto for the GOP. Think of it as rendering onto the GOP what the GOP renders onto the US and A.
4. Vegas is all make-believe, no substance, no reality. Just like the policies promoted by the GOP.
5. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas - this is just so fucking accurate, especially when applied to GOP presidential nominees.
6. Vegas has world famous churches, ready for all of those christi . . . . Wait, let me try again. Vegas is so family values orien . . . . No, that's not it. Vegas has just enough churches (one) to handle the most conservative christian types of the Teabuggered class, assuming they aren't so hung over that they cannot attend services.
7. The High Stakes Tables are going to be open. See, generally Iran, Debt Ceiling, Budget Process, VA benefits, Unemployment Compensation, Austerity, and so much more.
8. There are no clocks in any Vegas hotel room or convention center. That's perfect, given how difficult it is for a TeaBuggered pol to tell time.
9. Anyone willing to elect a GOP candidate from the current crew of potential nominees is really and truly gambling with our nation's future.
10. Instead of Gideon bibles, the rooms all have suggested rules on how to beat and fuck over the House. Something the Teabagger Representatives and Sen. Cruz do on a routine basis.
