Just in time to get me fired up about this week's convention, this morning a friend of mine brought to my attention the stark contrast between the GOP and Democrat's websites. I couldn't resist dissecting the two here.

Note that the GOP's homepage does not even highlight their candidate, but rather uses up almost the entire home page to attack Obama and Biden. Much like an insecure high school clique, to make themselves feel better they make fun of others. You have to dig to find any content related to their position on the issues. Instead of building excitement and interest in their upcoming convention, they poke fun at the Dems in Denver. They even came up with the slogan "A Mile High, An Inch Deep" and posted a ticker to "countdown to Biden's next Gaffe" referring to Biden's upcoming keynote. For a party that prides themselves as being rooted in Christianity and Family Values, they sure are open about attacking and judging other people.

I find the entire experience to be nothing short of pathetic.


The Democrats, on the other hand, use their website to highlight their presidential ticket and their convention front and center. The majority of the real estate on their home page is dedicated to the democratic party, with only a small badge on the lower right hand side of the page where you can click to hear more about John McCain. The messaging is exciting and hopeful and doesn't resort to mudslinging.

But don't just take my word for it! If you would like to check out the websites in more detail, you can click on the images above or go directly to rnc.org and democrats.org
