LOL. The acceptance speech was originally planned to be held at the Panthers' stadium with 74,000 seats. It is now being moved to the much smaller 20,000 seat arena where the rest of the convention is being held. Apparently, there are big fears about the spectacle of his speech being held in a half-filled stadium. They've been busing in students from all over the state, bringing in black church congregations from neighboring states, and still didn't have enough.
Fear not though, it's just being moved because of weather. ::hysterical::

Is it even possible that they believed they were going to be able to recapture a shred of the unjustified enthusiasm from 2008? Did they believe their own hype from four years past as they planned this event?

Dems Remove All References to ‘God’ From 2012 Party Platform
Posted on September 4, 2012 at 2:50pm by Billy Hallowell
>> http://www.theblaze.com/stories/dems-remove-all-references-to-god-from-2012-party-platform/ (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/dems-remove-all-references-to-god-from-2012-party-platform/)
Quote:
The Democratic Party may be getting a fair amount of attention this week — and not only because the political movement is hosting its national convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. Another point of focus has already been the contents — or the lack thereof — present in the 2012 Democratic Party Platform.
Earlier today, we told you that the document fails to mention Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, a proclamation that was previously touted by the party. And now, in an even more shocking revelation, CBN News is reporting that the Democrats have removed mentions of “God” from the document as well.
This is a departure from the past. In 2008, the platform read (emphasis added), “We need a government that stands up for the hopes, values, and interests of working people, and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential.”
With the words “God-given” removed, the 2012 platform sticks to a more secular script: “We gather to reclaim the basic bargain that built the largest middle class and the most prosperous nation on Earth – the simple principle that in America, hard work should pay off, responsibility should be rewarded, and each one of us should be able to go as far as our talent and drive take us.”
In the end, the Democratic platform doesn’t mention the words “God” or “Lord” even one time. In contrast, the GOP platform mentions God 12 times. A simple comparison to past years’ platforms shows a disparity. In 2008, the Democrats had only one mention (the aforementioned ”God-given”), but in 2004, God was mentioned seven times.
But, as CBN’s David Brody notes, the Democratic document isn’t entirely devoid of religious sentiment. A portion discusses the notion that faith has always “been a central part of the American story, and it has been a driving force of progress and justice throughout our history.”
Below, read the remainder of the Democratic platform’s views on faith:
“We know that our nation, our communities, and our lives are made vastly stronger and richer by faith and the countless acts of justice and mercy it inspires. Faith-based organizations will always be critical allies in meeting the challenges that face our nation and our world – from domestic and global poverty, to climate change and human trafficking.
People of faith and religious organizations do amazing work in communities across this country and the world, and we believe in lifting up and valuing that good work, and finding ways to support it where possible. We believe in constitutionally sound, evidence-based partnerships with faith-based and other non-profit organizations to serve those in need and advance our shared interests. There is no conflict between supporting faith-based institutions and respecting our Constitution, and a full commitment to both principles is essential for the continued flourishing of both faith and country.”
While faith communities being given credit for embracing “justice and mercy,” it’s quite odd to see that the word “God” — a central tenet in most areas of American life, including the political, is absent.

Apparently so!
-
Well, I can at least say that I appreciate truth and forthrightness when and where it occurs. The facade cloaking the Democrat party as somehow mainstream has been a never-ending frustration.
The notion that it was a party made of Godly people based on Godly principles was an egregious lie. At least they see fit to abandon this one lie. Their reasons for doing so mean nothing to me.

I'm going to merge a few topics that have already started so that we can keep this more or less under one roof...

New poll (http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/09/obamas-popularity-dips-underwater-for-romney-a-faint-favorability-bounce/) out just in time for the DNC convention kickoff...
Barack Obama approaches his nomination for a second term with the lowest pre-convention personal popularity of an incumbent president in ABC News/Washington Post polls since the 1980s. He’s also at his lowest of the year among registered voters, with trouble among women.
Just 47 percent of registered voters in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll see Obama favorably overall, down 7 percentage points from his recent peak in April, while 49 percent rate him unfavorably. He’s numerically underwater in this group for the first time since February.
The decline has occurred entirely among women registered voters – from 57-39 percent favorable-unfavorable in April to a numerically negative 46-50 percent now. That’s Obama’s lowest score among women voters – a focus of recent political positioning – in ABC/Post polls since he took office. Unusually, his rating among men, 50-47 percent favorable-unfavorable, is numerically better than it is among women, albeit not by a significant margin.

Who in the name of all that's Holy dare say right out loud at the Convention that "we all belong to the government"?!?
Okay? I want to know. Levin went insane for a couple minutes, but I missed the source of that comment and I suspect the guy is still walking around, so I want to know.

Such people will eventually and inevitably attempt to make good on that. They will have to be given a permanent lesson. We all know that.

As IDP talked about them being mainstream well then perhaps Americans are just a racist bunch, however, I'm not part of that group of bastards who will continue to look upon everyone they meat with eye glasses that instantly separate all into little groups of color and sexual orientation.

It's an ad. Short version: (http://hotair.com/archives/2012/09/04/dnc-video-government-is-the-only-thing-we-all-belong-to/)
DNC Video: "The Government Is The Only Thing We All Belong To" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gLa9Te8Blw#)
Update: Someone’s nervous.
An Obama aide emails that the Charlotte host committee, not the Obama campaign, produced the video:
“The video in question was produced and paid for by the host committee of the city of Charlotte. It’s neither an OFA nor a DNC video, despite what the Romney campaign is claiming. It’s time for them to find a new target for their faux outrage.”
That’s super. Now how do they explain the “doing things together” (http://www.cato.org/multimedia/cato-video/obamas-elizabeth-warren-moment) rhetoric?
It's all over the web already, and there's nothing faux about the outrage.
-
I must apologize.....I didn't know what moochelle would have to speak about...... But I forgot, lying and liberal are one in the same.
Poor Barack, staying up late lamenting Americans struggles....had to change his tee times to later in the day.
-
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... :o

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

I suspect most of the respondents in that video were interpreting "belong" to mean "a part of" - thing is- when you belong to a church or club and make payments, its voluntary, there are rules. But a lot of those people compared govt to a family ala Lakoffs Mommy and Daddy govt model. You don't choose family. Your family has implicit rights to demand your "help" - the liberals are simply tribal- and you will "belong" to their tribe voluntarily or be enslaved to it at the point of a gun and they have no problem with that .

So I'm watching the pre-prime time convention.
Nothing but a freak show.
Right now they are showcasing the President's unlawful enforcement of the "Dream Act" which allows illegals to stay here. There is no way that they can put this on during prime time.
Yes, they had an illegal do a speech. She was, of course, the exception to everything that most illegals represent...high school valedictorian, a double major college graduate at age 20, highly articulate (and grossly over weight but I guess they didn't have too many like this to choose from).
Then they trot out some Univision female talk show host to whine about it, too.
Right now they have the cofounder and former CEO of CarMax speaking...reinforcing the "you didn't build that" theme. What a tool. Now he is droning on about how wonderful BO's "rescue" of the "auto industry" was. What a lying idiot. Then a video about the "auto industry." Which is total bullsh*t. There was nothing wrong with the auto industry. GM and Chrysler had problems of their own making. There were all kinds of auto companies operating in America that were just fine.

You know...
...if you can tell anyone "you didn't build that" it is both GM and Chrysler. They do not deserve any credit whatsoever for their so-called turnaround. They have not paid off the "loan" from the taxpayers and have almost no prayer of ever doing so. They screwed bondholders. They screwed auto dealers. And not one word of thanks or one expression of apology for it.
NO. They have not built their recovery. And yet they are busy pounding their chests and thumping the lectern in a fit of self righteousness. Truly sickening.
I will never, ever buy another GM or Chrysler product. Screw them. I can't wait for Detroit to be completely crushed under the weight of these lying morons.

Oh, this is stomach churning. The things that I endure for this forum.
She is not a good speaker. She is almost completely reading off of the teleprompter with not much in the way of speech dynamics.

She is doing the intro for President Slick.
Now she is attacking corporate America. Yeah, that's pro-America at its best. She is all but saying that she's a communist/collectivist.
"We celebrate success. We just don't want the game rigged (unless we are rigging it)."
She has used "rigged" and "rigging" several times in her speech. "Fair share" is a close second.
Optics: This is an angry woman. She looks stern. Chiseled. She sounds shrill. Not a pretty picture. And not a good public speaker.
And yet, some poor fool married this creature.

Yeah, after enduring almost four years of King Putt one may almost be excused for looking at Clinton with something approaching nostalgia.
This is a heck of a sell job. It's like he's standing in a used car lot and doing his best to put the sucker in a clunker.
And, of course, the other big image here is that he is literally prostituting himself. He doesn't believe for a moment that BO is a good president. I have no idea why he is doing this. He must be thinking he is going to get that UN Secretary General nomination that he's always wanted.
This is NOT a good speech. And he isn't delivering it well, either. His voice is cracking. He's stuttering. He's not speaking very clearly...even for him with his stupid accent. The speech is boring. It's not inspiring. And it's, naturally, a lot about him instead of BO.

You know what- we should ban corporate profits. (http://hotair.com/archives/2012/09/05/peter-schiff-to-democrats-at-convention-would-you-support-banning-profits/)
The mask is off. Anti-Capitalist, Anti-Freedom, Anti-American Assholes. If you cant see it by now, then you don't want to, and you deserve everything that is coming to you - and sorry Charles, but that includes being hunted.
-
Or maybe Slick is angling for a Supreme Court nomination. It must be one of those two. There is just no earthly reason for him to make an ass out of himself promoting a person who he clearly feels superior to in any and every way imaginable.
-
Okay, it's clearly shifted from boring to comical and absurd.
I can't believe that Slick just asked the delegates, "Are we better off now than we were four years ago?" But he did. That can't play well with America.
The lying has moved into high gear.
It's funny when you think about it...they got a congenital and habitual liar to nominate BO. Just in the last couple of minutes...listening to this tripe...I am strongly reminded of what a fabulous liar Slick is.
-
I love this: He is promoting a twenty year college loan. That's like a mortgage. No one ever asks why college is so damned expensive. College keeps getting more expensive and no one ever asks why. No one ever says "enough."
-
Okay...I'm sorry but I just can't take any more of this bullsh*t. I've just got to turn on the football game and wait for my stomach to stop its trip down the trail to sudden and explosive vomiting.

I'm wondering what clinton was doing before the speech..... he seems to have a foreign substance in the corner of his mouth. Looks like dinner.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/09/05/mother-dem-convention-star-castro-called-alamo-defenders-drunks-crooks/)
– The young Texas mayor whose keynote speech wowed the Democratic National Convention crowd Wednesday night draws political inspiration from his mother – who is a member of a radical civil rights movement and who reportedly thinks the truth behind the Battle of the Alamo is that Texans swiped Mexico’s land.
Maria del Rosario Castro, the mother of San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, said in 2010 that she grew up being told the battle was “glorious,” only to learn the so-called heroes were really “a bunch of drunks and crooks and slaveholding imperialists who conquered land that didn’t belong to them.”

Slick Willie, the adjudicated liar, should be in prison! But yeah, what the hell is his game? What can Barry possibly give the Clintons? If he loses this election his endorsement will be toxic, Bill might be a POS but he isn't stupid...he has to see Obama heading for a huge fall...I think his speech was all about keeping the field workers on their plantation happy, and has nothing to do with what he could possibly get from the SCoaMF.

I fear for them and their immortal souls. I really do.
As Gunsmith truck leaves the driveway for work every night, I say an Our Father, (otherwise known as The Lord's Prayer, but a lot of Catholics refer to it as the former because that's how penance was handed out by the priest, "say three Hail Marys and four Our Fathers") to pray for his protection. Last night, I realized it wasn't just physical protection he needed in the "deliver us from Evil".
-
Evil is exactly what they are. They are the pawns of the devil, willing or otherwise. I would have laughed at my own assessment just a few years ago. But they have shown exactly who they are starting with Duh Won's election in 2008, and it's now crystallized.

That was one "rationale" for it, to be "inclusive" of those people who prefer not mixing politics and religion; drastic way to do it, in my opinion. And these people know nothing of our history, obviously.
As for "mission accomplished", every single time the Left can claim that, it's destructive and disastrous.

The Crack Hotels of the DNC (http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/315765/crack-hotels-dnc-john-fund)
The DNC shines the spotlight of the world stage on our Queen City. Delegates from all 50 states, 15,000 journalists, and more than 350 foreign leaders will experience Charlotte . . .
— Charlotte Business Journal, August 31, 2012
I can’t speak for the delegates or ther foreign dignitaries, but many of the journalists I have spoken with here are appalled at the accommodations in Charlotte to which they were assigned by the DNC. National Review was assigned to two Knights Inn properties. Everyone who saw them fled immediately across state lines to an available Marriott in South Carolina rather than stay there. As one of our political correspondents reported:
The Knights Inn was the worst hotel I have ever seen, and I’ve stayed in many bad motels in my life. Two guys were dealing drugs in the room next to me, and a prostitute was working out of the parking lot. And this was in the early afternoon. The room itself was dirty, full of other people’s stuff, etc.
I have never requested a hotel change in 3 years at NR. This was the first time I felt absolutely compelled.
It’s not as if the DNC couldn’t have figured out something was wrong with the properties. TripAdvisor had these recent comments on one of the Knights Inn properties: “wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy,” “scared to death,” and “pimps and prostitutes at night.”
Nor was National Review singled out. Staff members from Politico and the Hill abandoned their assigned hotels, too. Staffers from the Hill found refuge in a cheap Microtel and considered it a comparative oasis.
Tucker Carlson, editor of The Daily Caller, told me that the Quality Inn his staff was assigned to was “the worst hotel you can imagine.” TripAdvisor carried these recent reviews: “barely a Bates Motel,” “scary area and parking lot,” and “the worst.”
Some of the scarcity of good hotels is due to Charlotte’s relatively small size. It is the least populous city to host a national convention since the GOP held theirs in New Orleans in 1988, and the Big Easy had lots of hotels because of its popularity with tourists.
But there really is no excuse for anyone, especially women, to be assigned to hotels that are beyond dingy and in some cases clearly unsafe.
Ooookay, like I'd trust for one second anything set up by the Left for conservatives.
-
Hey dems who fled the Knights Inn because of hookers....... It's her body and she can choose to do whatever she wants with it. Bigot.
-
If there's a supposed scarcity of hotel rooms here, why didn't they figure it out beforehand? It's like their effort to blame the failure to fill the stadium on the size of the city. Well that stadium is reliably sold out for every Panthers game. Maybe it's just that anything associated with the DNC is a decrepit freak show.

The dems took a map of the 57 states....and threw a dart. Charlotte lost. The dems knew the type of people they would draw to thier convention. Choosing such motels were not mistakes.
-
I also bet they specifically sought out motels in the ghetto out of fidelity to their socioeconomic and racial ideologies.

But no doubt many Democrats who say they are Catholic will still vote for Democrats anyway.
The Church has made a big mistake by not excommunicating scores of these apostates...starting decades ago. Now they are stuck with them. Sad.

Clintons from Mars and matthews is a penis.
-
Watching a bunch of retired military on stage now kissing BO's ass.
I will never understand why anyone in the military (active or retired) can support this clod.
Or the Democrat party for that matter. Democrats hate the military and all that it stands for.
John Effing Kerry was on before saying the nonsense that he always says.
-
Now on stage Angie Flores a student at Miami Dade College. She is extolling the virtues of free money for college. This is "Julia" in the flesh. She is kissing BO's ass.
She is going to introduce Biden's wife. *yawn*
It's a tragedy, really, that supposedly intelligent young people don't realize that the Democrats are spending their future...enslaving them with debt...in the name of free stuff.
Somehow I am thinking that Jill Biden will give a much better speech than her benighted husband.
She just said that thanks to BO and Joe...the war in Iraq is over. Really? So all those years that GWB ran the war were, uh, nothing, I guess.
She is now marveling over the sheer genius of her husband. I suppose that you have to put a brave face on what turned out to be a poor decision to marry the lout. I picture Biden backstage during her intro speech trying to use one of those paddles with the ball on the string.
She just mentioned how Joe got over the death of his first wife and daughter by way of his strong Catholic faith. That would be the same strong Catholic faith that allows him to oppose the church over abortion and O'BongoCare. Pretty damned hypocritical but...it's the Democrat way.
-
Now we are being treated to a glowing video intro for good old slow Joe. He is, of course, still claiming that he is just a simpleton from Scranton.
-
I can't believe that the Democrats are still trying to say that they have had a positive impact on the economy...that the economy is actually better for their efforts.
"Growing the economy from the middle out and from the bottom up."
They seriously think that that phrase is gold. Well, good luck with that.
The video just showed a woman in tears saying, "He's always there for us (sob). He cares..."
The one phrase missing from this video bio is, "He's never held a real job in his life. A career politician all his life. He's totally disconnected from reality."
-
I will never understand why anyone in the military (active or retired) can support this clod.
I don't get it either. It would be interesting to find out why they joined.
-
Joe Biden takes the stage. This should be interesting. Perhaps not, though. If they can keep him on teleprompter I suppose he can't do too much damage.
-
"every single young person...and they're not all young..."
Really?
-
The tale that he is telling are at complete odds with the Bob Woodward book excerpts that came out today. He talks about BO as being a bold decision maker. Uh, yeah...sure.
Now is he talking about the "enormity" of BO's heart...*yawn*
Now he is trying to pretend that he and BO identify with working men and women. These two, who have never worked a day in their lives. Sure.
"A job is about a lot more than a paycheck." Tell that to the millions who have been out of work now for literally years during their administration.
I suppose that the convention delegates are buying this nonsense, this fairytale, this re-imagining of BO but it's hard to believe that anyone else is.
More bragging about the mythical 4.5 million jobs that have not been created. I don't know why they don't claim 45 million jobs. It's just as credible.
Oh boy...he's going to talk about the "rescue" of the entire auto industry. Total bullsh*t, of course. It was the rescue of the UAW at GM and Chrysler and the total screwing of the bondholders, stockholders and taxpayers.
Now he is attacking Romney by way of Bain...this anti-capitalist stuff is the reason why Romney is getting zillions in donations from corporate America. Or maybe the corporate guys actually know how the election is going to turn out and they are backing the winner.
And now he is going to brag about bagging OBL. President Gutsy Call. BO made a bold and lightning quick decision. Never mind that they got the opportunity to bag him due to GWB's groundwork.
-
Biden praises the SEALs. I'm sure that the SEALs are truly impressed.
Remember that Valerie Jarrett worked on BO continuously to get him to NOT decide to go after OBL.
This whole OBL thing is pure bullsh*t and bluster. Of course, Biden is your man when it comes to that. He has less shame than intelligence and wit.
I'm guessing that BO wrote this speech for Biden. He is, after all, in his own mind, a better speech writer than his speech writers.
-
This is such a stupid speech. It's written for stupid people. And it's being delivered by a truly stupid guy.
This is just a notch higher in intelligence than this speech:
The Smartest Guy In The World (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i93BJiYLaj8#)
-
Biden just said that "America is not in decline!!!"
Keep saying it, Joe. That will make it all better.
-
He's getting ready to introduce President Downgrade. Oh, I can hardly wait. It's gonna be long. It's gonna be boring. It's gonna inspire no one. Yippee.
-
Here comes the Lightbringer.
Is there a video first?
-
Oh, that's right...Senator Turban gets to do the actual intro for the Lightbringer. Yeah...four more years. BO's been sitting on the toilet for four years and he needs four more years to fully squeeze it out onto the country.
-
It's only several orders of magnitude worse than anything Uncle Ted uttered, but so far this POS is still roaming the convention floor free as a bird...
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/secret-service-were-aware-of-dnc-delegates-threat-to-kill-romney/ (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/secret-service-were-aware-of-dnc-delegates-threat-to-kill-romney/)
Tone double-standard strikes again...
It's just the SS's way of acknowledging that dhimmicrats have no credibility - or horsepower.
-
I like the way they brag about ending "Don't ask, don't tell" which was a Bill Clinton achievement. Bill has to love that.
-
And now the video intro for the Lightbringer.
They should have figured out a way to bring him onto stage where he comes down out of the clouds or something. Maybe a small artificial lake where he could walk across the water.
That would be fitting. Mere mortals walk to the lectern...gods should fly over the heads of the delegates.
-
I think that it was really nice of the convention organizers to give each of the delegates a US flag to take home and burn.
-
Well, we are off to a boring and uninspiring start.
-
The Democrats like to say that the Republicans want to take us back to a time that never existed and yet I am listening to BO describe an American past that never really existed...an America without capitalism and corporations...especially big corporations.
He mocks the "failures" of the last thirty years as if those years sucked. The fact is that those years were great. Everyone (except for the young and stupid) knows those years were great.
It will take more than four years to completely dismantle America...re-elect BO!
This convention (and this speech) are really all about energizing the lib base. They believe that it's all about GOTV. I hope that they are wrong. I'm pretty sure they are. I don't think the lib base will be enough. Polling shows that it has contracted in the last four years. That should mean that if they get their base out it won't be enough.
-
Not much talk about green jobs this time around. I wonder why? Oh, wait...there is a little talk about wind turbines. Not so much solar, though.
He mentions his wonderful move to raise the CAFE standards to double gas mileage...not much talk about how many Americans will lose their lives in these lightweight cars.
Oh yeah...global warming. That will bring out the votes.
He brags about college students paying less because the government is now the sole lender for college loans. Yeah, that will be a real convincer for out of work college grads who can't pay their staggering debts. Nothing about how ridiculously overpriced tuition is.
I have been a loyal Chevy customer all of my adult life. I solemnly swear I will never buy another GM product. Not ever.
-
This clod has been in office for nearly four years. Four years ago he bragged about rebuilding roads and bridges. He wasted four years and didn't do jack in that direction. And now he's making the same stupid ass promise like it's still believable.
And he also wants us to believe that he wants to work with Republicans. Sure.
He sure likes him some war on the rich. Millionaires sure suck. We need less of them, that's for sure.
My goodness, this is hard to watch. It's an assault on one's intelligence. He is speaking to the truly stupid and ignorant.
I don't suppose he is going to take another shot at "you didn't build that?"
He speaks about "Julia" but not by name.
Oh, I like this...no one is the source of our troubles. Except Mitt Romney, the rich and Republicans.
Collectivism: It's what's for dinner. Who knew that Americans in years gone by fought and died for collectivism?
"You did that" is the new and improved "you didn't build that."
I guess it was inevitable that we got in a line on abortion and what a wonderful thing it truly is.
-
I don't know how you stomach it Trapeze. Do you have a barf bucket next to your keyboard?
-
Oh, boy...now he is going to talk about how he's changed in office. Do you suppose he is going to talk about his evolution on gay marriage?
He talks about Americans who give him hope. It is amazing that Americans soldier on in spite of his policies. He will indeed need another four years to completely ruin their spirit and crush the life out of all of us. It's true though, that he no longer gives anyone any hope.
Finally...it's almost over. He's asked for the vote. Please let him shut up soon.
I heard that there would be no balloon drop.
And no...no balloons or confetti. Just BO on stage sucking it all up. The First Wookie and its spawn hit the stage. Then the Vice Idiot and his unlucky wife.
Oh wait, a small amount of confetti. They have to zoom in to really see it because there is so little of it. The start music and it stops. They restart it. I'm serious...there is very, very little confetti. They must have the WH flying monkeys up in the rafters tossing it out by hand. I think that they are sprinkling the confetti in front of the television cameras to try and give the impression that there is more than there really is. This is hilarious...they have video fireworks going on the big screen.
They keep cutting to ugly women delegates who are weeping uncontrollably. How funny.
Wow...and that's it. The country and western song ends and BO leaves the stage. What a let down.
Cardinal Dolan gives the benediction...The cameras make sure to show the few delegates who are observing the prayer...

I think that it was really nice of the convention organizers to give each of the delegates a US flag to take home and burn.
Sorry Trap, I don't think they will burn them. My money is on they drop them on the floor.
-
I don't know how you stomach it Trapeze. Do you have a barf bucket next to your keyboard?
Ditto. I can't stand the sight of them anymore. Some Ass Hat lib drives by and waves with Obama signs all over his Jeep. My initial reaction anymore is blind anger and an insane desire to start shooting at those signs..

What are the muzzies and atheists doing during the prayer.

Dang, he is getting in a few jabs.

The aisles are full of delegates trying to leave but they have the doors blocked until the prayer is over.
-
Dolan gets to say "God" several times in rapid succession at the end...just to rub it in their faces a bit.
This thing is ending with a wimper.
Villaraigosa can't get any applause at all for his thanks to NC and others. The delegates are pissed off because they can't leave.
-
I will never understand why anyone in the military (active or retired) can support this clod.
I don't get it either. It would be interesting to find out why they joined.
3 Squares a Day, medical for life, and someone to tell them what to do and how to live. The military is a liberals dream if they can get out of actually fighting.
-
What are the muzzies and atheists doing during the prayer.
Playing with themselves. They're bored and in the mood to mock.

A desperate plea for an energized base at the end. The delegates are pissed.
He says. "God bless the Democrat party" and there are scattered boos. Gotta love that.

I can't believe that the Democrats are still trying to say that they have had a positive impact on the economy...that the economy is actually better for their efforts.
Kill Ivan's Goat. The economy improves as long as everyone becomes more equal. The fact that its equally impoverished doesn't matter. As long as Ivan doesn't have a goat they don't have - things have gotten better. Stupid f'ing cavemen.

One of the emptiest speeches he has ever heard.
I'm guessing that MSNBC is gushing over it. I can't wait for the quotes and videos that will be coming in the next 24 hours.
I don't know why Krauthammer is stunned. BO can't run on his record so what exactly was he supposed to say?
Krauthammer is betting that there will be a negative bounce.

Ouch.....Biden better.....

Trippi says that it was a "great night for Democrats" and then agrees with Krauthammer that Biden's speech was better. Genius.

Yeah, that cracks me up that the media is all bent out of shape that the Republicans didn't honor the troops as much as the Democrats pretended to.
Fact is, the Democrats work to suppress the military vote. It's well documented.
Fact is, Democrats don't like the military. It's well documented.
So all this is pretty hollow.

Will it be a dead cat bounce?
Plus, there was no hint about the economy. He has seen the August jobs report and I didn't see any hint about it in his speech. You would think that he would imply something about a hugely positive jobs report.
That will be out tomorrow.

They are and that's the problem.
It's a choice election. But the choice is a referendum. Oops.
Well, we've passed another milestone on the road to the election. This convention has felt more like passing a kidney stone, though.
The debates are next.
Actually they aren't. There will be 24 hours per day, every day of campaigning. There will be zillions of dollars of campaign ads...mostly Romney's. There will be current events hitting...some known like the periodic economic reports...some surprises that we can only guess at like maybe a dust up between Israel and Iran. And there will be several more weeks of the mutant poodle woman, DSW.
So...
...bring it on.

I wouldn't even credit them with the rational faculties of cavemen. These people are purely animalistic in their baseness, their demand for constant gratification.
I always get a laugh out of my dogs at feeding time. They each have their own bowl, filled with the same quantity of the same food, yet nothing is more desirable for them than the contents of the other dog's bowl. So they slink back and forth between bowls, growling as they pass each other. Eventually they will each end up consuming about the same amount of food that was in their own bowl.
That's what Democrats remind me of. It's the only similarity though. My dogs are vastly smarter and more ethical.

The argument that the Republicans didn't honor the troops is more than a little hollow.
Remember that Romney put in a personal appearance at the VFW conference in the middle of the RNC. O'Bongo phoned it in with a video.

I don't watch msnbc so I'm giving it a look tonight just for fun. I braced myself to be sickened by Matthews and his fellow Democrat fanboys. Here's the problem, though...
...this channel is absolutely loaded with ads. There is an ad every five minutes and the ad slots last for three minutes each. This makes msnbc unwatchable. It's horrid for that reason alone.
Matthews now has DSW on. This should be sick.
Besides DSW, how many Democrat members of congress actually went to the convention? Anyone? I don't know. I know that there were a lot who weren't coming but I never heard what the numbers were.

Sadly, the Founders suspected the same thing, from the first day. Franklin announced it a "Republic, if you can keep it" and in their letters late in their lives, both Jefferson and Adams were pessimistic that it would endure- Human nature being what it is.
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." -John Adams
They gave us a government that was too good for us, and we have, generation after generation, become less worthy of it. Obama wants to be seen as FDR because so many look to FDR as some sort of savior- a good man, the comforting father who told us to go to sleep and everything would be alright in the morning- the superhero. That is all Liberals are - people pretending they have superpowers. However, look at the comics. The best superheroes- the most effective, are those with accurate information- Superman had x-ray vision, Spiderman a Spidey-sense, the X-Men had Charles Xavier, Batman had the Bat Computer. The lame characters lacked this informational power. Liberals deny there is any such thing as truth, and they think they already have the answers, which is why their childish attempts at playing hero always fail. They are like aquaman- sure he had a informational power- he could talk to fish - problem is everything they say sounds ( and is ) fishy.

Jennifer Granholm Demonstrates Why It's A Bad Idea To Snort Up An Ounce Of Coke Before Giving A Speech (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKux363Dg64#ws)
-
From the Daily Beast... (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/09/07/obama-a-pedestrian-and-overconfident-speech.html)
Let’s be blunt. Barack Obama gave a dull and pedestrian speech tonight, with nary an interesting thematic device, policy detail, or even one turn of phrase. The crowd sure didn’t see it my way. The delegates were near delirium; to what extent they were merely still feeding off the amassed energy of the previous two nights I can’t say.
And swing voters watching at home? They probably weren’t as bored as I was, but it seems inconceivable that they’d have been enraptured. This was the rhetorical equivalent, forgive the football metaphor, of running out the clock: Obama clearly thinks he’s ahead and just doesn’t need to make mistakes. But when football teams do that, it often turns out to be the biggest mistake of all, and they lose.
-
And the Krauthammer transcript:
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: I was stunned. This is a man who gave one of the great speeches of our time in 2004, and he gave one of the emptiest speeches I have ever heard on a national stage. Yes, it had cadence, and yes, there were deceptions in it, but that is not what is so striking about it. There was nothing in it. This is a man who believes that government can and should do a lot. There is nothing in here that tells us how he's going to go from today to tomorrow. For any of the so called goals and what government is going to do, what is he going to enact?
At least Romney had a five point plan. What we heard from Obama was a vision. And he pulls numbers out of a hat. 100,000 new math and science teachers. 600,000 more people working in natural gas. Two million more trainees, and he doesn't say how we get from A to B. It's a vision. I have a vision of an America where there is no disease and everybody has a private airplane, but unless I tell you how we get there, I’ve said nothing. And what is so surprising, is that - all he had left - he can't speak about his record on the economy, and it's not a good one. As we heard, he didn't speak about achievements, the one that's liberals like, ObamaCare, stimulus and etc… they're unpopular.
So, at least he would talk about the future, what he's going to to. There was nothing there. I’m amazed that he was -- it was like this is a guy who is the A student in the class turning in a paper clearly a C, and the teacher says, “How could you do this? Why did you mail it in?” I felt the Biden speech was infinitely better, because it was empathic and carried a message, but the Obama speech, I thought was flat and had no content in it. Otherwise, I loved it, really…
KRAUTHAMMER: Well, it is the heart of the debate with Republicans and Romney. The heart of the debate between left and right, since the French Revolution. The individual or community, and he stands for the community, which he translates as government. So with that abstract, a cleverly sealed argument.
But, that is not what you're talking about in an acceptance speech, when you've been in power for four years. People expect you to say I’m going to do X, Y, and Z, and we didn't hear any of that. So, as a philosophical issue, yes, but without any of that meat on the bone, I think it rings quite hollow.
KRAUTHAMMER: I think it does [affect Independents] and I think it's a negative. If you're an independent and aren't a committed person on the left or right. And you were sort of a pragmatist, and you’re listening and the President offers you numbers out of a hat, he wants a lot of this and that. He’s mentioning again and again with wind and solar and algae, but he didn't use a word, he used biofuel. And you say, I’ve heard this, this is nothing new. This, is what he tried, he talked about. Where is the meat to make me think that I should have hope and faith? That we will achieve anything? That is what I think he's lacking. I think for independents, it will send him somewhat backwards.
Should be interesting to see who in the chattering class lines up where. I mean, other than Matthews. He's already wet himself.

I'll summarize...... 4 years ago, Obama was gonna lower the ocean and heal the planet. He was gonna cut the deficit in half, create a zillion jobs and bring the country together. We didn't understand how, but who cares, the community organizer said it, in his best jean luc Picard voice....MAKE IT SO! Unfortunately, he has no number 1.
Last nite, he said the job is hard and it's going slow....but he is moving forward. He will create 100,000 of something and 600,000 of something else....and in his best jean luc Picard voice, again he said, MAKE IT SO!!! But he didn't explain, again, how to make it so, because he is a community organizer, not the leader of a starship.

I think you missed an opportunity. No where else can you see this many grotesque and odd looking people weeping for joy. It is perhaps the only moment in their lives where they are joyful and, that being a new emotion for them, they come off looking all the more bizarre.
There were the very few normal looking people in the crowd and, being surrounded by hysterically crying freaks, you had to wonder why they were there.
And then, the tear stained faces would change abruptly as their object of worship would command them, and they would suddenly be outraged and angry, their eyes rimmed with red like some movie style demons about to rip some poor person apart...frothing at the mouth with indignation and terror.
Utter fools, each and every one of them all gathered together under one roof.
So it was a spectacle. Something that you just don't see everyday.
But I'm glad it's over, too, because it was also a very false environment where the Democrats attempted in vain to recreate the glory days of the last convention. It did not go well and it did not end well.
Personally, I'm pulling for a negative bounce. I'm pulling for yet smaller crowds at O'Bongo campaign rallies. I'm pulling for a horrible BO debate performance. We seemed to be on a path for that sort of ending to this campaign and it will be interesting to see yet more tear stained faces as the myth collapses.
Here is an early obituary...
Julian Castro is no Barack Obama. And for that, Democrats have themselves to blame.
The focus of this week's Democratic convention was President Obama. Lost in the adulation was the diminished state to which he has brought his broader party. Today's Democrats are a shadow of 2008—struggling for re-election, isolated to a handful of states, lacking reform ideas, bereft of a future political bench. It has been a stunning slide.
.....
By 2009, President Obama presided over what could fairly be called a big-tent coalition. The Blue Dog caucus had swelled to 51 members, representing plenty of conservative America. Democrats held the majority of governorships. Mr. Obama had won historic victories in Virginia and North Carolina. The prediction of liberal demographers John Judis and Ruy Teixeira's 2004 book, "The Emerging Democratic Majority"—lasting progressive dominance via a coalition of minorities, women, suburbanites and professionals—attracted greater attention among political analysts.
It took Mr. Obama two years to destroy this potential, with an agenda that forced his party to field vote after debilitating vote—stimulus, ObamaCare, spending, climate change. The public backlash, combined with the president's mismanagement of the economy, has reversed Democrats' electoral gains and left a party smaller than at any time since the mid-1990s.
Of the 21 Blue Dogs elected since 2006, five remain in office. The caucus is on the verge of extinction, as members have retired, been defeated in primaries waged by liberal activists, or face impossible re-elections. The GOP is set to take Senate seats in North Dakota and Nebraska, and maybe to overturn Democratic toeholds in states from Montana to Virginia. There is today a GOP senator in Massachusetts. Republicans claim 29 governorships and may gain two to four more this year.

I enjoy it when things occasionally go our way in the media, despite the media. I only wish that we had a more conservative standard bearer. He does seem pretty damned competent, on balance, with running a campaign. Of course, so was BO four years back and that didn't end well.

Did anybody notice that when the Democrats booed God, they did it three times? They denied Christ three times:

I did indeed notice CC. The symbolism is striking, to say the very least.
I've heard a few media heads like Hannity sheepishly referring to hearing a cock crow. But they do it with a passive and dismissive humor, and ignore the spiritual warfare aspect. That correlation is not whimsical. In my opinion, It's serious stuff.
-
I have to admit to being somewhat dismayed that BO is getting a bounce from this mess. Puzzled and dismayed.
The ratings were crappy. BO laid an egg with his speech. And yet, they get a bounce. Gallup I can understand but Rassmussen came out with the same thing so I guess it is legitimate.
Romney had better get going with that blizzard of media buys.
-
Has there ever been a convention, no matter how pitiful, where there wasn't a bounce? Let's see how resiliant it is. I'm still of the opinion there are as many as 25% of those polled who do not want to be thought of as racist and affirm a vote for obama. Within the privacy of the voting booth I believe that % shrinks....a lot.
I'm of the opinion Romney needs to win by at least 8 points to allow me to feel a bit better about the nation. If it is close, even if Romney wins, eventually we are screwed.( and we may be anyway) This election shouldn't be close, judging obama by his record. If obama was white, it wouldn't be close, but if he was white he would have never received the nomination.
-
Dismayed? Sure. Surprised? Not in the least.
Conventions are the dog~n~pony show that is meticulously planned and executed to make their guy shine. It's happy happy joy joy and usually a complete fraud. But it gets the party faithful stirred up and that results in a bounce (as long as you ask the right people).
As I understand it, neither convention did as well (# of viewers) as in 2008 so the American people weren't particularly impressed and that's the real bottom line. The pubbies' mission is to convey America's SITREP: We are worse off than we were four years ago and it is Øbozo's fault. There are countless ways to drive this truth home.
I am heartened that, unlike mccain, Romney shows the competence and willingness to take it to his enemies.
-
I can't believe that the Democrats are still trying to say that they have had a positive impact on the economy...that the economy is actually better for their efforts.
Kill Ivan's Goat. The economy improves as long as everyone becomes more equal. The fact that its equally impoverished doesn't matter. As long as Ivan doesn't have a goat they don't have - things have gotten better. Stupid f'ing cavemen.
And women. I'm listening to parts of Fauxcahontas' speech on an Andrew Wilkow replay and that's the theme -- Ivan has a herd of goats in the Cayman Islands and "we" don't and it's his fault because he stole the all the goats and took all our money and wants more of our money andandand ......
It's sickening. 100% pure envy, spread thick.

The worst thing about it is, it works. We're at the point now where a certain % of the population will vote for him no matter how demonstrably awful he is. Keeping the flow of OPM going is the only thing they're interested in. The Democrats have bet on stupidity and impulsiveness, and so far they are being proved right.

As I understand it, neither convention did as well (# of viewers) as in 2008 so the American people weren't particularly impressed and that's the real bottom line.
Someone reminded me that TV ratings in general are down compared to 4 years ago. People access content in other ways at at different times now. My daughter watched it all on youtube.

Very true. It's been so long since I watched any "live" boob-toob that I forget what's available and what's trendy. I would think that Neilson and Arbitron would have a way to factor that in but what do I know?

Obama And Charlie Crist Hug . . . Again… (http://weaselzippers.us/2012/09/08/obama-and-charlie-crist-hug-again/)
...Crist – now an independent but spoken of widely as a Democratic candidate for the 2014 governor’s race — delivered another endorsement of the president, telling 11,000 people at the local St. Petersburg College campus that “it takes a cool head to win a hot game.”
...
This is one more opportunity to reflect upon the memory of Senator John Cornyn [NRSC chair endorses Crist | Florida politics blog: The Buzz ...http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/the-buzz-florida-politics/2009/05/nrsc-chair-endorses-crist.html (http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/the-buzz-florida-politics/2009/05/nrsc-chair-endorses-crist.html) and the RNC supporting Crist against Rubio in Florida.

They made a movies of boobies and kittens and Didn't call it "tits and pussies?" You would get more hits on it my way. However, if people have time to put something like that together, I am not sure this shouldn't be put into my "Signs our society is doomed" thread...

I have to admit to being somewhat dismayed that BO is getting a bounce from this mess. Puzzled and dismayed........
That just proves that a massive segment of the population are blithering idiots.

His ears spread wide, a haggard Barack Obama took the stage looking as if he’d lost roughly 50 pounds of mojo since 2008. Openly groping for the female vote, he acknowledged his love for his steroidal wife Michelle and his adorable daughters, Bulimia and Sausage. He spoke of hope, and of moving forward, and of moving forward hopefully, claiming that he wasn’t merely peddling “blind optimism or wishful thinking.”

Hell man all you had to look at was the fac that they had to bring the whole mess into a 17K person arena so he didn't look like a complete ass with nobody there to hear his golden tomes as he spread manure all ove the convention and sounded more like he was begging for votes rather than his usual comanding voice taking the votes for granted.

I have to admit to being somewhat dismayed that BO is getting a bounce from this mess. Puzzled and dismayed.
The ratings were crappy. BO laid an egg with his speech. And yet, they get a bounce. Gallup I can understand but Rassmussen came out with the same thing so I guess it is legitimate.
Romney had better get going with that blizzard of media buys.
This is the stuff that puts me into a very fatalistic mood, despairing even. Seriously, if this country is so full of dumbasses that they are willing to re-elect a President this demonstrably awful, then there really is no hope at all. If this man is re-elected, then the country absolutely deserves every calamity coming its way.
The MFM are gleefully pronouncing this election over, already.

Same thing with Jimmuh Cahtah, he was kicking Reagans behind in all the polls up to election day...push-polling and trying to supress your opponents vote is nothing new to these clowns, they learned under the Dixiecrats & KKK Grand Kleagle's like Robert "Sheets" Byrd.

".........The sheer strangeness of all the talk about abortion, abortion, contraception, contraception. I am old enough to know a wedge issue when I see one, but I've never seen a great party build its entire public persona around one. Big speeches from the heads of Planned Parenthood and NARAL, HHS Secretary and abortion enthusiast Kathleen Sebelius and, of course, Sandra Fluke.
"Republicans shut me out of a hearing on contraception," Ms. Fluke said. But why would anyone have included a Georgetown law student who never worked her way onto the national stage until she was plucked, by the left, as a personable victim?
What a fabulously confident and ingenuous-seeming political narcissist Ms. Fluke is. She really does think—and her party apparently thinks—that in a spending crisis with trillions in debt and many in need, in a nation in existential doubt as to its standing and purpose, in a time when parents struggle to buy the good sneakers for the kids so they're not embarrassed at school . . . that in that nation the great issue of the day, and the appropriate focus of our concern, is making other people pay for her birth-control pills. That's not a stand, it's a non sequitur. She is not, as Rush Limbaugh oafishly, bullyingly said, a slut. She is a ninny, a narcissist and a fool. And she was one of the great faces of the party in Charlotte. That is extreme. Childish, too..........."

Noonan is an ASS, right from the title, "The Democrats' Soft Extremism" -- soft? SOFT?! -- through her "love" for Joe Bite-me, to near end, "... maybe a sense the Democrats were extreme will take hold."
*Were* extreme? They ARE extreme. Noonan's not going to say it outright, though. She's one of the Republican Party's "tone" people.

In what continues to be the most screwed up Democrat National Convention in history...
On the last night of the Democratic National Convention, a retired Navy four-star took the stage to pay tribute to veterans. Behind him, on a giant screen, the image of four hulking warships reinforced his patriotic message.
But there was a big mistake in the stirring backdrop: those are Russian warships.
Oh, yes.

You beat me to it Trap, thanks for posting this. More evidence to throw atop the mountain already accumulated that shows what a bunch of lying, incompetent disingenuous whack jobs Dem's are, and their circus of silliness was but a condensed version of just how messed up these morons really are. Usually you have to string several weeks together of libiot asshattery to accumulate this much trash, the DNC circus gave us several months worth of ammo...it was a one-stop-shop of libiocracy!

Why should the commander in chief know what an American warship looks like?
