I just don't get it.

I really wonder about Americans when a Governor who is currently under investigation in her own state for abuse of power and questionable ethics could be suddenly seen as the one who can march in and change Washington.

Where a Presidential candidate can lie as much as he wants and even when questioned on it will just continue to lie and be seen as a maverick......

Also, how does eliminating earmarks (about 1% of the budget) really solve the economic problems in the U.S.?

Are Americans really this stupid? Or are they just racist? Do the rest of the world and yourselves a favor – elect someone with a brain who understands the issues like Obama. Unless you would rather have a POTUS and VP who are dying to start wars in Iran and Russia. Doesn't this scare anyone else?

Countries like Russia, China, and Iran are quietly building their military capability and boosting their economic situation while America worries about whether or not their female VP candidate is getting a fair shake.

If the leaders of the countries that hate America could vote, there is no doubt they would vote for McCain and Palin.

My goats would love some of those GOP straw hats. Munch! Munch! Munch!

The Republican Ticket right now can't even run on the ground of morality because McCain divorced his first wife and Palin's 17 year old daughter is pregnant. EVERYTHING IN POLITICS IS A FAIR GAME INCLUDING THEIR FAMILY.

The Repbulicans is avoiding talking about the ECONOMY AND OTHER SOCIAL ISSUES which is really sad. A lot of American families don't have enough money to buy their food and rich people don't understand that.

9/11; WAR IN IRAQ,AFGHANISTAN;pursuit of OSAMA BIN LADEN; ENRON SCANDAL;OIL SCANDALS;CREDIT CRUNCH;HURRICAN KATRINA;OIL PRICES; LEHMAN BROS......ALL UNDER THE WATCH OF THE GOP including MCAIN AND PALIN....the list is endless yet surely,surely there are people out there in CRITICALLY THINKING AMERICA who still believe in the REPUBLICANS...... WOW!

Surely, everyone must REFLECT by MIND, BODY AND SOUL. So then another 4 years of the GOP simply because YOU hate BARACK who by the way is WHITE and BLACK and is a GOOD CHRISTIAN.

SHAME on you, especially you PUMA and those who are BLATANTLY or SUB-CONCIOUSLY RACIST(the new phenomenon i've discovered).
AMERICA has sunk to the lowest. This is not a football game. I am a MACHESTER UNITED suppoter for life but if they lose to LA GALAXY do I lose anything? In politics I will always support the best man on the day for the job because politics is what you eat,wear,drive etc.
So up to now no-one believes WAR IN IRAQ=CREDIT CRUNCH? The CHOICE IS YOURS, YOU DECIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then of course you believe MCAIN can change things after 28 years in power…ooops= MUGABE SIGNED for CHANGE today.

I will look forward to telling my grandchildren:

"I remember when the Republican Party was the party of fiscal responsibility and small government"

I am sure they will respond "No way Gramps, you are making that stuff up."

But it is true, I do remember when it felt good to be a Republican. Not any more though.

It's sad that no Bush-Cheney buttons were sold. lmao

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

CNN, Fox News for Obama/Biden

CNN for Palin 08-12, Fox News for palin 08-12

Obama's stuff will be a real collect items one day. I can see it: "The first African American who ALMOST became a president" He totally deflated the messiah bandwagon by picking Mr. Biden. So close, yet so far away.

Yes, let's save memorabilia since millions of lost e-mails guarantees we won't be saving much history...

I also watch the Republican convention and I only saw few minority population. I wonder why? The democrates work hard to do the right thing for the American people BUT BUSH AND HIS LOYALIST VETOES EVERYTHING. Another financial institution went bankrupt and I'm sure McCain and Palin don't care because they have their own businessess and own their own mansions. Palin working at home but charging the State of Alaska. She prefers working at home to stay with her kids? I'm sure because her office is hundred of miles away from home. SO WHEN PALIN BECOME A VP SHE WILL ALSO STAY IN ALASKA AND CHARGES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT?????????????.

Senior citizens are usually warned about scams and still fall into a trap . I would suggest that young folks have a heart to heart talk with gramps and gramma about poli-tricks, especially now.

I think there needs to be a IQ test before you can vote. I'm not the sharpest crayon in the box, but some of these folks getting fooled by the Palin smoke and mirrors parlor tricks, scare the heck out me.

Pretty easy to tell which convention this was just by looking at the picture.

I did a great job getting everyone at the homes for the elderly to my convention,as you can see by this photo.

the republican party destroyed AMERICA.

One look at the picture tells you the story. A bunch of blue hairs who watch Faux News and only read USA today are the ones who vote for clowns like this!

Oh look...a bunch of old white people. That's America alright.

I saw this video and thought it was facinating. The Smithsonian does a great job for all Americans.

Go Smithsonian !

Why not give the same attention to 3rd-Parties in this country, Smithsonian!!!

50 % of United States population are ignorant and Bigots, vote to who they relate too rather than voting for the person with intelligence and Judgement to lead this nation. This country is going to the drain say good bye to being the super power.

Memorabilia, neat. Can I get one of the American Flags that the Repugs stole from the Democrat Convention. And then lied and said the Dems threw the flags away.

dems convention will go down in history as the time we stood up for unity and change in our downward slide.

reps covention will go down in history as the most hateful, lie-ridden, worst than ever before , sleaze.

it was a mistake for republicans to question ours and our candidates patriotism. dems and indies and repubs" have all fought, bled, and many have died ,under the same proud flag" [barack obama exceptance speech]

do we have to preserve those hats that the delegates from both sides wore? yikes!

Well my memory will be of how truly diverse the Democratic Convention was. It was a multi-spectrum of races all coming together for change in America. It made me proud. Quite contrary to the Republican Convention which was a sea of white faces wanting to maintain the status quo. It looked like something out of the 60's, not the 21st Century.

Memroabilla preserves the convention.........and at the same time, the nation is going down the tiolet.........that makes all Americans feel good......

Wonder if they'll buy any of the racist "Obama Waffle Mix" or the "Curious George" button. These were items presented by the the loathesome right-wing values groups.

just by looking at the picture, I knew it was the repugs' convention before I read a singe line of the article.

The people in this photo are not smart enough to see thru mcsenile and the repugs endless lies. Everytime I ask myself who's dumb enough to believe Palin/Mcain, i can look at this photo.

Oh yea, the memorabilia from the Republican convention will go down in history, especially those sexist political buttons/pins they displayed..."Hot"...give me a break! If it wasn't so disgusting, it would be laughable.

If this very election fall into the hands of Republicans again, that will simply mean that the economy is strong as Bush said, Palin is qualified to lead this Country in time of crisis, John Maccain is telling the truth to the Ohioan and the American people and problem of color will still hunt us untill we rise together or we fall together real hard. lets give this country to Maccain lets see how many friends we are going to have vs enemies.

OLD PEOPLE ARE FOOLED EASILY.

THEY SCREWED US.

"Hats, buttons, sweaters, wooden axes, and yes, even a fly swatter are handled with the greatest of care." In compiling your memorabilia, make note of the diversity of each convention. The color of the people tells something about the two parties. Take this advice and smoke it. Don't leave this out! It's just as important as the "things" you collect!

A picture is worth a thousand words. Look at age bracket, etc., of the PALIN/mc cain followers.

The contrast between those who attended each convention was remarkable.

Democrat Convention was better Only thing the Republican said is Drill Drill Drill and Smear against Obama if we let these lying Republican Win this Year I hope Russia Destroys us

Got any stuffed wolves gunned down from airplanes or cute buttons saying "My VP is Hotter Than Your VP"? Like the Maltese Falcon, "the stuff that dreams are made of"...
