Dem Convention Thoughts

^ mmm hmmmm.

Nice touch there.

For all their religiousity...I certainly haven't heard Romney or Ryan quote Jesus.

You know that the Catholic Church's disagreement with Ryan's budget and his Randian philosophy has to also hurt with the thinking Christians out there.

Mormons aren't Christian. Christianity is a monotheistic religion and Mormonism believes in the existence of a plurality of gods.

According to Mormonism, Mitt is on track to become a god, and will have a good chance to get his own planet which he can fill with his own offspring.



May he be eternally sterile.

my claim was based on this substance:



Democratic National Convention 2012: 5 landmines - Reid J. Epstein - POLITICO.com

The article bounces around and then they don't cite anything, thus it is Politico (whom have a credibility and objectivity problem). I wouldn't consider them anymore "objective" than the Huffington Post. Now if it was something like Reuters, AP, somebody with objectivity and way more credibility then I might find the article that doesn't cite the Drudge Report a little credible.

According to Michelle --- a coffee table Obama found in the trash is his most prized possession.

Wonder if Eastwood's chair and Obama's coffee table have met.

 

[Just_Believe18]

Obama said he could stop the water from rising ... I'll assume he could stop the rain from falling too.

So the reason must be a lack of people.

The man's ego is way to large for his head -- that's why his ears stick out so far.

Listen to yourself, Jack. Do you realize how wingnut crazy you make yourself sound on this forum most of the time?

I don't think the two tile patterns match very well.

Poor Jack..You're struggling here aren't you? This must be a difficult few days for the Republican partisans, but just bear in mind that last week, the Democrat partisans had to sit on pins and needles in case anyone made a breakthrough speech at the RNC.

Lucky Michele though. At least she wasn't followed up by some Dem hack with their eye on 2016 who cut the legs out from under her by disagreeing with the premise of her speech like Christie the Hutt did with poor Ann Romney.

Tonight is Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Elizabeth Warren, Sandra Fluke, President Bill Clinton.

It's going to be a good night!

Monica Lewinsky's childhood rabbi -- Rabbi David Wolpe from Sinai Temple, Los Angeles is giving the benediction after Bill Clinton's speech tonight.

Talk about AWKWARD.

Bob -- you forgot Obama's mentor --- Jimmy Carter is speaking tonight -- bet the DNC is doing everything to keep that out of prime time.

 

[CowboyBob]

Here's President Carter's excellent speech.

You can watch it right now so you don't miss it.

Lots of lies Tuesday night:

- there were not 4.5 million jobs created since Obama's been President -- "There's been a net loss of nearly 1 million public-sector jobs since Obama took office"

CNN Fact Check: About those 4.5 million jobs ... - CNN.com

----------

“The Romney-Ryan budget doesn’t just cut public education, cut Medicare, cut transportation and cut job training. … It’s a choice between a nation that slashes funding for our schools and guts Pell grants.” — Julian Castro

The Obama budget says the same thing.

----------

“Instead of the Medicare guarantee, Republicans would give seniors a voucher that limits what’s covered, costing seniors as much as $6,400 more a year.” — Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius

Ryan's plan ensures Medicare "as we know it" for people 55 and old. New system of Medicare in place for those younger than 55. The democrats do not currently have a plan for saving Medicare.

----------

“We learned that he [Mitt Romney] pays a lower tax rate than middle-class families.” — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.)

Harry already earned 3 Washington Post Pinocchios for a similar lie.

----------

“In Massachusetts, we know Mitt Romney. By the time he left office, Massachusetts was 47th in the nation in job creation.” — Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick

The ranking when Romney took office as governor was 50th -- when Romney left office the ranking was 28th.

----------

“For more than 200 years, our party has led the fight for civil rights, health care, Social Security, workers’ rights, and women’s rights.” — from a history of the Democratic Party, on DNC Web site

Wow! The Democrat Party is party of slavery, President Woodrow Wilson was a racist, 80% of the no votes when the 1964 Civil Rights Bill was passed were from Democrats. Talk about rewriting history.

^ Whatever Jack.

The facts don't bear out your assertions.

But we all respect your unwavering dedication to Lyin' Ryan and Robot Romney. And to the party that hates you.

Wow, the Jerusalem thing was a hot topic and he was quite shocked there was much opposition to that. I bet the media will be all over that after tonight.

 

[Jack Springer]

A couple of things that really bothered me last night in Michelle's speech:

Neither Obama's grew up poor -- they both attended the best high schools in their area. Barrack attended the best schools in Hawaii -- where only the elite attend. Poor people don't get do that.

Michelle's comment about her husband realizing that the economy was bad by reading letters -- WTF -- doesn't he pay attention the reports of his administration -- doesn't he realize that millions of people are out of work and have given up, doesn't he realize that people are losing their homes -- but guess he didn't realize that until he was reading letters late at night.

What a bunch of shit. Hard to believe that anyone fell for that. Have to give it to her -- she's a great speaker. There have been great speakers before --- I hear Adolph Hitler gave a great speech.

BREAKING NEWS: A little drama at the DNC -- they passed amendments to their platform -- one referring to God and another calling for Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel. Guess someone was feeling the heat.

 

[maxpowr9]

Dear God Menino hit the sauce early. He is so out of it. Such a shame. Will have to wait till I can see Frank later.

Probably. Gotta give the right wing fringe something to squabble over.

From Wikipedia: In 1971, Obama returned to Honolulu to live with his maternal grandparents, Madelyn and Stanley Dunham, and with the aid of a scholarship attended Punahou School, a private college preparatory school, from fifth grade until his graduation from high school in 1979.[18]

[Michelle] attended Whitney Young High School,[19] Chicago's first magnet high school, where she was a classmate of Jesse Jackson's daughter Santita.[17] The round trip commute from the Robinsons' South Side home to the Near West Side, where the school was located, took three hours.[20] She was on the honor roll for four years, took advanced placement classes, a member of the National Honor Society and served as student council treasurer.[4] Michelle graduated in 1981 as the salutatorian of her class.[20]

Barack had a scholarship, while Michelle attended a "magnet" school, which for those who don't know, are public schools which are free to attend.

Sorry to burst your bubble, Jackie, but the Obamas earned their way to college by good grades and hard work, not by being born into "legacy families" or having Daddy make huge alumni donations.

 

[Jack Springer]

^^^

Where did Obama's scholarships come from -- how many were there? Regular poor people just don't get those -- truth: he wasn't poor.

Michelle went to an elite magnet school. You don't thing Jackson would send his daughter to some regular school.

Both Obamas were privileged.

Well, on the up side, Jerusalem IS my 2nd favorite hymn (right behind "Low in the Grave He Lay")
