Outstanding segment on last night's The Daily Show:

Samantha Bee in the convention center, talking to delegates. In getting them to say it was completely Romney's choice to veer from the official platform on their rigid 'pro-life' stance, they actually affirm the pro-choice position. (Most don't realize what they've said, of course!) Here's the link to the show, but the pertinent segment starts around 21:40. Watch - it's hilarious. I'm surprised no one posted this already.

Jon Stewart is always funny, but he is at his best during an election cycle. Or is it maybe that they just give him more material to work with during an election cycle? Hmmm.

They really didn't realize what they were saying. They were pro-choice.

This is what I think is wrong with a lot of these Repug Americans. They blindly just say they are Repugs and they really don't analyze the issues and the way they feel about them personally.

I'm sure there are many of them that vote Repug because they were raised in a Repug family. Others I think actually want to think they are rich or wealthy and don't want to be associated with the Dems as that is the party of the poor. These are the people that actually vote against their best interests because of this wanting to be considered well-off or rich -- and REpugs are for the rich. Again - they don't take the time to analyze their own situation and see how Repug stands personally effect them.

It's really a sad situation.

Perhaps the clip can be found on Youtube, but this is evidently the format the Daily Show uses. Sorry, I can't help you.

It's not a resource hog, it doesn't report anything, and it seems to work fine. It's needed for Netflix streaming.

There's no way I could have said without venomous spite, "the reason they're not voting for republicans is now evident"
