GOP Announces Convention Theme “We Built This” In Stadium Built With 62% Government Funds
Apparently rejecting a more controversial “You Didn’t Really Get Raped, Pregnant Lady” theme for its 2012 convention, the GOP has announced that its Tuesday night session will be themed “We Built This!” The sentiment serves as both a celebration of American entrepreneurship and an attack on President Obama’s previous comments to business owners. President Obama received criticism over his remark, “Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you [business owners] to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”
However, the stadium where the GOP will be announcing “We Built This!” was financed primarily by the government. The Tampa Bay Times Forum arena, which houses the Tampa Bay Lightning, was built in 1996 as the “Ice Palace” with 62% government funds. The total budget for the project was $139 million, of which public money accounted for $86 million and team money accounted for $53 million.

Right over the heads of liberal idiots like adonis.
-
haha, it is pretty funny... If you took one pretty cent of govt funds, then yes, you did it with the help of others.

Sorry True Adonis, but this doesn't make any sense and it's not a contradiction in the least.

You don`t think they could have found a better venue to use? Given their platform, they really don`t support that stadium you know.

See this is the type of non-sense that is going to make people ignore anything coming from the left. Such petty trivial shit is made a big deal of.

It is a big deal when more than half of politics is comprised of symbolism.

But it's not the LEFT that brought up the topic here. The RIGHT did, with a big as banner saying "we built this".
It should say "We used $86 mil in tax dollars to pay construction workers to build this".
If they did it on their own with ZERO govt funding, I'd buy them a beer for being so awesome - but in this case, they dont deserve one.

At the very least, they could have picked somewhere else to hold their "We Built This" convention. Perhaps somewhere that they wouldn`t be voting against constructing.

I know exactly what is going on here. I could just really care less, I am already sick of all the stupid bullshit going on it politics. Not one fucking person wants to talk about the cliff America is about to fall off. No point fingers and write stories about non sense that has no barring on anything. No it's more important to be able to call someone a hypocrite ::)

It's almost as funny as the Dems having their convention in Bank of America stadium after spending years attacking Wall St.

Not really, Obama supported the Bailouts from the start and his largest donations come from Wall Street.
Same with Ryan and Romney, both supported the Bailouts and their largest donations come from Wall Street.

Or almost as funny as unveiling their support for gay "marriage", as part of their platform in the same state that just EASILY passed a state marriage amendment just three months ago (making supporters of their new cause 0-32 at the ballot box).

Honestly, one of the only non-moronic political threads to come from True Adonis. This is a legitimate point - the GOP should practice what it preaches - and not only regarding where it holds its convention, but how its politicians vote.

idiotic, the "we built this" is not in regards to the stadium
I agree they could have picked a better place the coincides with their theme but only an idiot sees this as anything of an issue.

this is pretty fucking funny
the only thing funnier is Repubs trying to base a campaign on their own misundrstanding of what Obama said.
I wonder if it ever occured to whoever thought up this strategy that maybe we'll be making ourselves look like complete idiiots because most adults will actually understand exactly what Obama was saying

Did this money come from the state or federal government, this seems to be have conveniently left out of the editorial.
-
Maybe the question should be asked is "who keeps that stadium or any stadium for that matter, from going under?" Did the tax payers fund the hundreds of venders who are separate BUSINESSES in that stadium? With out those and other SEPARATE businesses those stadiums would barely make it. Some the shit libs come up with boggles my mind. No wonder why they can't run a business.

A bigger question is with Isaac bearing down on Florida, which religious nut preacher is going to jump on tv and tell everyone that the hurricane is Gods punishment for queers?

I thought George Bush sent hurricanes, to kill black people. That's what liberal nut politicians and rappers said.

Bro, GWB doesn't care about black folks (enough to kill them.)

Yes, which is why we're fighting the devil in Obama. Having a hard time remembering the last time he told the truth. But then again why should should Obama care, he's muslim not a Christian.

My sanity is just fine. Just as there are those who think 9/11 was an inside job, there are those who think Bush is responsible for Hurricane Katrina.
I wish it were just satire. Unfortuantely, such is not the case.
But, don't take my word for it:
"2008 presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton is celebrating Earth Day by unveiling her new energy plan and by blaming President Bush's environmental policies for Hurricane Katrina.
In a fundraising email sent out to donors on Thursday, Mrs. Clinton alleges:
"In the last five years, the Bush administration has left no major environmental law untouched in their push to deregulate, undermining or rolling back decades of regulations put in place to protect our heath.
"The results are all around us," she says, citing "more greenhouse gases, global warming, rising seas, more violent storms like Katrina."

Bush hates black people.
That was the rallying cry of the democrats.
Hmmm, sounds familiar to the current attack on Romney that he somehow was responsible for that fool's wife dying of cancer.
HEHEHEH!! According to these liberal nitwits, the GOP is the party hate, that will kill you and if they don't kill they will put you in chains.
Yet, under the watch of the Democratic party for the past 5 years, the country is in economic shambles, discretionary spending is out of control, political correctness has run amok, illegal aliens have more rights than citizens, democrats are in bed with wall street, a useless president who cares more about his liberal ideology than coming up with a budget plan that will return the nation back to fiscal sanity, and with every day that passes there is a higher UE rate, higher cost of living, more people on welfare, and no end in sight to this plight.

only a fundie can read that and think it she is saying that Bush specifically caused Katrina
now I understand how you can assume the Loch Ness Monster is real and then conclude that it proves creationism is true

And only an Obama kneepadder, after reading plain language that shoots their premise to bits, resorts to mentioning stuff that has ZILCH to do with what's being discussed, making more excuses than, well, a liberal after an election loss.
Who do you think is at the top of the "Bush administration", Eisenhower?

I read it, she is talking about more and more extreme weather which is exactly what we continue to see to this very moment
do YOU truly believe that Hilary believes that Bush can conjure up hurricanes at will ?

it seems reading comprehension is a bit of a challenge for you
did you miss the point where she mentioned Bush Administration policies and what the effects of those policies have been?

The effects are MORE HURRICANES. Thus, THE POINT is she's blaming Bush and his administration basically for causing hurricanes (including Katrina), because of their policies. Maybe, you should give the "Hooked on Phonics" program a try.

your statement was "Bush sent the hurricane to kill black people"
Here's your statement just as a reminder:
I thought George Bush sent hurricanes, to kill black people. That's what liberal nut politicians and rappers said.
you're saying that Bush literally has the ability to create hurricanes and send them to the location of his choice
and now you're trying to suggest that this is what Hilary is saying in that quote from her fundraising email
I think most people on this board can read your statement and Hilary's statement and draw their own conclusions
