One of the actors, Perry Denton of Chicago, IL also confirmed that he was hired on a day-rate as an actor for the shoot and told CBS News he was surprised to learn the footage was shown at the convention.

Yippee! The Republicans and trickle down economics creates yet another Temporary, part time position!

Lets not forget that in the last election the Republicans outsourced their fund raising to a firm in India. These people have no shame!

I am a Disabled Veteran and this makes me want to Vomit. The Republicans have no shame. McCain can claim his POW status a thousand times to get away from telling the truth and Sarah Palin can tell us all this military operation is a mission from God. Let them live some of the lives like we vets have had to do. Palin wouldn''t make it for second. And John McCain has had too many POW passes at tough questions. This mockery of my service to this great nation is beyond belief. It is sickening.

Not sure what to make of this. The GOP is pretty careless right now. I hope they get their act together and start providing some real answers to the issues facing the average American family. Rising unemployment, inflation, out-of-control energy/health costs, airline industry in turmoil. Pumping your fist and field-dressing moose is good stage. But it''s leaving thinking Americans scratching their heads with what is going on at the RNC.

I cannot imagine a depth to which the GOPigs will not sink to keep a hold on the White House. Every cry and moan they come up with regarding the press''s poor treatment is nullified by the years of opponent abuse they have heaped on their enemies through the press. And now they even use some patriotic BS to stir up the 28% of American humanity who believes Bush has done a good job. PATHETIC!!!

The RNC did not respond to CBS News%u2019 request for a comment.


Well of course they didn''t respond. They''re too embarrassed.
