Letters: Democrats - curb your enthusiasm

Curb your enthusiasm With the gridlock in Washington and Harrisburg, I find it ironic what politicians consider important ("Liquor laws may relax for convention," Tuesday). Are we hosting the Democratic National Convention to pick a candidate for president of the United States, or are we hosting a glorified frat party for the well-connected? Do they really need to have the bars open past 2 a.m.? Do they need to bring in truckloads of Texas liquor?

Curb your enthusiasm

With the gridlock in Washington and Harrisburg, I find it ironic what politicians consider important ("Liquor laws may relax for convention," Tuesday). Are we hosting the Democratic National Convention to pick a candidate for president of the United States, or are we hosting a glorified frat party for the well-connected? Do they really need to have the bars open past 2 a.m.? Do they need to bring in truckloads of Texas liquor?

If that is important, our priorities are in the wrong place. I would like sober, well-rested - not hungover - people representing me. Do we ever get what we vote for?
