Topic: The All Things 2012 DNC Convention Thread

[trapeze]

I don't know how in the heck I am supposed to blog this convention. There I was, minding my own business, listening to the First Wookie drone on and on about how President Lightbringer is more divine than the son of God and what should happen? mrs. trapeze said that if I didn't turn it off or turn the sound all the way down she was going to blow beats and I would have to clean it up.

So I guess I'm screwed as far as doing a play-by-play. I have been watching it with the sound down and all I can say is that the delegates to this thing are a veritable freak show. If you go by the tags and buttons and stuff that they paste all over themselves then clearly half of them are LGBT types and enviro-whackos. Which means that the rest of them are union thugs. So yeah, this is what America looks like to these people...completely dysfunctional and retarded.

Ironic the next big lib star is named Castro. What are the odds.

I stopped off to visit my mom and she had the idiot box on. We were 'sposing who might be the dhimmi's "mystery speaker" and my guess was Fidel. Guess I was close...

...but that's only because Joseph Stalin isn't available.

Someone else will have to count the lies she told......I lost count in the first ten minutes. The "there is no us and them" line seemed to set my wife into a frothing rage......

My take: she was selling snake oil. She felt the need to sell Barack, extreme makeover. All of the accomplishments and accolades spewing out of her mouth were govt related. She did not touch on the private sector one time, except to tell the private sector to quit shutting the door once we walked thru.

The Afro sheen on her legs and arms was distracting.

Brit Hume characterizes the speeches as a "destitution derby" where each speaker tries to outdo the previous speaker in explaining how horrible and miserable BO's life was as a child.

I'm not sure what that is supposed to do to the voter's opinion of BO.

Well, with your wife frothing too, and trap's wife threatening beet-blowing, y'all are not alone in your disgust.

So the FNC panel's overall impression of the convention was that "it was off to a good start." I'm not sure what that means.

Does it mean that all of the delegates (as I said above, a veritable freak show) were happy? I'm certain they were happy. This is the one time every four years when they can get together with like minded people and pretend that they are somehow normal.

I can't believe that it means that average Americans were happy with it. I'm an average American and I can't stand this crapfest.

So, who knows?

Krauthammer says it was a great speech (Chewbaca's) but he thought it was total bullsh*t from the standpoint of truth and content.

Okay, so she did a great acting job, i.e. "great speech", but with no truth or content.  What about that is great?

Now the delegates can slink to their rooms, get dressed in their best leather and straps and be themselves. Fox was being kind. A well delivered bizarro speech. Well disguised as a govt love in. I find it unbelievable Barack could find the time to do all these great things, before and after marriage, and also lead the choom gang. He must be quite a fella.

Means plenty of fodder with which the talking heads
may entertain the viewers.  That's entertainment.

I'm finding it difficult to stop belittling this weirdo group of single issue misfits. This is either the most bizarre convention in recent memory or an elaborate, brilliant plan to give the pubbies so much ammo that we become so brutal their is a sympathy bounce.

I don't know which. Maybe the best response is no response at all. The circus is in town.

After they've thrown the election this convention
will be the history of what we are.

Who "thrown the election"?

[charlesoakwood]

"They",  "Them";  Those who put him there in the first place.
This is their big kahuna, they're invested, they've worked all
their lives for this moment in time, this is their last chance.
They are not going to throw in the towel and walk away.

At least when it's over most of you can just have a good laugh about the Star Wars cantina scene. Actually being in my town, however, I will have to contend with the residual stench for who knows how long. It will probably require the ground to be salted and burned, followed by an exorcism.

Rush has been saying that about the Dems for a long time, that they're the bar scene from Star Wars.  What do the Code Pinkers walking around in vagina costumes look like to you, if not an alien species.

So, if the healing prescription is to salt, burn and exorcise, git 'er done.  I got lotsa fire starters here.

Heh, I don't blame ya, the whole town will need a cleansing several times over!

Just reviewed the morning blurbs...

The DNC freak show is off to a roaring start...CC mentioned the removal of God from the platform (like there is room for the Almighty with Duh Wun headlining this loony bunch!), now we can add pissing on Israel some more, anytime/all the time abortion on demand, and the First Wookie begging more time for poor Lil' Barack to finish his destruction of America...

And Duh Wun is cratering even in libiot registered voter polls going into this disaster...

And I'm sure this freak show will help bury them deeper...

What's the over/under on SCoaMF's use of "I", "Me", "Let me be clear", "The fact of the matter is", "Government" and "Umm...ahhh" and all manner of brain-farting, stuttering and stammering?
