These are authentic factual photographs from the 1924 Democratic National Convention

These are authentic factual photographs from the 1924 Democratic National Convention. The 1924 Democratic National Convention, also called the Klanbake, held at the Madison Square Garden in New York City from June 24 to July 9, 1924, took a record 103 ballots to nominate a presidential candidate. It was the longest continuously running convention in United States political history. It was the first major party national convention that saw the name of a woman, Lena Springs, placed in nomination for the office of Vice President. It was also known for the strong influence of the Ku Klux Klan. John W. Davis, initially an outsider, eventually won the presidential nomination as a compromise candidate following a virtual war of attrition between front-runners William Gibbs McAdoo and Al Smith.

Davis and his vice presidential running-mate, Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska, went on to be defeated by the Republican ticket of President Calvin Coolidge and Charles G. Dawes in the 1924 presidential election.

The truth about Paul Ryan

Progressive bloggers and TV personalities are up in arms about Paul Ryan’s speech at the Republican National Convention last night. Several of their accusations revolve around Paul Ryan’s own fiscal record, and his description of President Obama’s. I asked my liberal friends on Twitter to send me an itemized list of Ryan’s alleged lies, and they kindly obliged. So far, Ryan appears to have the better of the argument.

A message to all members of Tea Party Patriots re: tea party convention

We are receiving many calls and emails asking about the tea party convention in Nashville. Tea Party Patriots is not participating in the tea party convention.

A couple of months ago, Tea Party Patriots Local Coordinators decided they did not want to to be involved in this endeavor because the ticket prices were out of our league.

There has been a lot of press coverage about the convention recently. We recommend thoroughly researching the convention before purchasing a ticket.
