Republican Convention – are Americans really THAT stupid?

Christina Macpherson’s websites & blogs

I have never been to America. But I have a picture of Americans as warm and friendly.  I think that’s great. I understand that the USA culture is  a bit more “folkish” and sentimental, than other cultures.  And I guess that’s OK, too.

But “foolish” and sentimental is something else.

I listened to Mitt Romney’s speech, and to Paul Ryan’s speech –  with amazement, as I watched all those thousands of (white) Americans lapping up all that stuff about family, and roses, and how great America is etc.

Bu where are the policies?  And – nary a word about climate change, about renewable energy.

Are Americans really so interested to watch politicians busting their guts to appear as “a nice guy, if not terribly bright”?   Or was it just that huge white crowd at the Convention, that didn’t care about policies?
