"Mrs. Obama nailed it, (if you watched it). I could see why you wouldn't want to, because it may have touched your hearts."

So in other words, you completely fell for the logical fallacy of "appeal to emotion."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_e...

Look, I have no doubt that President Obama and Mr. Romney are good people. That doesn't mean that Barack Obama is a good President or that Mitt Romney will be a good President, but that's what they are trying to make you think with the "appeal to emotion" fallacy. It was done at both conventions. What they should be doing is discussing the issues, not attacking each other with ad hominem arguments and/or making appeals to emotion.

The dem big tent party has shown their inability to vote honestly, even on their own changes to their platform. Yet none of the sheeple complained of suppression when their votes were ignored or when they showed ID's to get in...

totellthetruth, do you have a reading comprehension problem and/or do you not understand when people quote other people's material they have not made up anything themselves? I quoted another source, I did not make that up. If you have a problem with it being made up, talk with the originator -- Politifact -- and quit accusing me of having made it up.

Here's the link I provided when I quoted their article in case you'd like to complain to them: [ http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/... ]

raystone, 277 for a Chicago condo isn't that much, even in 1993.

ezoner, the Romneys ARE rich and out of touch - there's no denying that.

"Being president doesn't change who you are; it reveals who you are" ~ Michelle Obama (in other words, her husband is a wolf in sheeps clothing)

I love how the dems seem to peg the Romneys as rich and out of touch yet ignore the privaledged life that the Obamas lived.

Midnight_Rider: You must have missed the hug after the speech. Sounds like you may need one. The past is past, and I won't even go into the waste of 17 mil on attacking Big Dog, way before Monica.

Gandalf,

The Republicans have to make sure their base can understand the marching orders being given to them by the ultra wealthy puppet masters. Just the other day one of my co-workers who happens to be a mouth breathing Republican told me she wouldn't vote for Obama because he would force all women to take birth control. I got about 2 words out when I realized the futility of what I was about to attempt. I just told her that our President will do just fine without her vote and walked away. I wish I could say that this woman is a rarity among the Republicans I regularly interact with, but I can't.

The implosion of the Romney campaign begins...

"Republicans signaled this week that they might have given up hope in two important swing states.

The Romney campaign and conservative groups like Crossroads GPS have pulled TV ads in Michigan, Romney’s home state, according to the Detroit News." [ http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/0... ]

totellthetruth, you seem to like to make false accusations about people and then move on to the next false accusation without correcting the prior false accusations you've left behind. Here's my previous comment to you:

Any examples of me "making stuff up," totellthetruth? Or do you just like to puff your chest out and pound on it?

No examples, totellthetruth? Move on.

Every speech Obama gives is written on the 2nd grade level. And he gives it over and over and over.

It looks like Wasserman Schultz got recorded in her own lie. Michelle's fake struggles, and Fluke endorsing Bill Maher and Jason Biggs. Booing God and falling so far from middle Americans I do believe Romney will win this one.

FACTCHECK
-
Both Michelle Robinson and Barack Obama began their adult lives with a leg up on the rest of America. They attended elite schools: Michelle went to Whitney Young, the public magnet school for Chicago’s upper class, while Barack attended Punahou, the private prep school for the top stratum of Hawaiian society. They were accepted to Ivy League schools despite undistinguished credentials, and both attended Harvard Law School.
-
They had expensive tastes, reflected in the $277,500 two-bedroom condo they bought in 1993--a high price even by today’s standards. Several years later, they moved into their $1.65 million mansion in Hyde Park--with the help of fraudster Tony Rezko.

Poohboy.....You're a crackup! "Amazing command of history and facts"? Seriously?!? You rail on the Republicans for playing hard and loose with the facts and their interpretation of situations. Clinton--as they all do--does exactly the same thing, and you praise him for his "amazing command of history and facts"? Too funny!! Much in the same way when you claim that you don't support either candidate, yet when asked for evidence of you speaking negatively against BO, your evidence comes from a single post several months and over 900 posts ago........Let's compare that to the last time you spoke out against Romney/Ryan......1 post ago? Possibly 2 or 3?
I actually like Clinton......I definitely didn't support the way he was vilified after he had his fun with the cigars and that fatty who worked for him.....Much like Obama, he is a great speaker, and he definitely knows how to work a crowd, but anyone who would claim that this speech was made by someone with "amazing command of history and facts" is completely delusional:)
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact...

This convention is bitter and dividing I see NO positives give me 1.
Even the vote to include God was a complete joke it was only meant because they were getting blasted by even the liberal left media. 3 votes Ha watch it 2/3 majority I think not. Is this really where you want this country to go. Wake up this is definitly not where our country came from or should be going.

I missed Clinton tonight. Did he talk about working with a Republican Congress for his last 6 years balancing the budget and in control of his purse strings? Did he talk about almost getting impeached over the Lewinsky affair? How about stealing all the W's from all the keyboards or taking precious antiques from the White House? Did I miss him still calling Barack an Ametuer not worthy of getting him coffee?
Did I miss any of that?

President Clinton still has it. Amazing speaker, amazing command of history and facts, just an incredible speech.

greatplan: cogent comment! right on topic!

Sounds like we have another birther like that California woman, from Russia, who keeps suing and getting slapped down by judges. Kavon Nikrad?

I see why race42012.com looks so stupid. It has people like http://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonydalke setting it up. Desk clerk to intern to editor in 8 months for a Diane Kendricks company. Another Republican who doesn't pay taxes,

Actually race42012.com looks like an amateur's website from the 90s. Sheesh. Stupid looking.

wislad: like race42012 is non-partisan. Want me to quote Huffington post? It was a Heritage Foundation idea, the rest of any argument you have is arguing how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

Yes, we know he knows what struggle means. We've witnessed his greatest struggle the last four years.

Most people do struggle with their first job.
He struggles with what debt means.
He struggles with how an economy is supposed to work.
He struggles to understand that capitalism is good.
He struggles to understand that entitlements and handouts are bad.
He struggles with his own history.
He struggles with the concept that government probably isn't the answer.
He struggles with the idea of America.

916 - I'm simply showing the hypocrisy of the VP candidate. He's against more spending unless he can get part of the pie. He went to college on SS, now wants to get rid of it. He voted against the ACA, but wants the funds from it. He rails about the $16T deficit, yet voted for 2 unfunded wars ($1.3 Trillion+) 2 Bush tax cuts ($7.2T), and the Medicare Prescription Drug Bill ($730 Billion). And yes, if Scott Walker can refuse the train money, Ryan should have had nothing to do with the ACA money. Explain to me how that isn't hypocricy.

baegucb
There are HUGE differences. The link will take you to a chart which makes it very easy to see the differences...print it out for future reference.

"It is often asserted that RomneyCare is the same thing as ObamaCare, but this is simply not true. It is important to note that Massachusetts, the state where Romneycare was founded, opposed Obamacare. In fact, Massachusetts opposed Obamacare so much that they elected Senator Scott Brown (R) in 2010 to be the deciding vote against Obamacare after Senator Ted Kennedy’s death. Why would the state where Romneycare was founded be opposed to Obamacare if the two laws were really the same? The answer is, of course, that they are not the same. While there are similarities between the two laws, there are also key differences. Below is a table of differences between the Romney plan and the Obama plan"

http://race42012.com/2012/07/09/key-diff...

baegucb

what's your point? No one had an issue with Obama having an ex girlfriend who was white.

Think again. Obamacare = Romneycare = a Republican idea to begin with.

dtb....That was a stupid comment. Ryan was against Obamacare--it was pushed though despite his objections and efforts to prevent it. The tax dollars of his constituents go to fund the program. Should he not seek some return on that investment for those that he represents? I suppose you think that the only people that should benefit from Obamacare are those that were represented by politicians that supported it?

That's how Paul Ryan taught Michael Jackson how to dance ;)

haha,, ryan's got soul and he's still hanging with crooks.. perfect.

This post might be flagged, but did Paul Ryan have a black girlfriend in college? Is the British newspaper the Daily Mail a reliable source? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...

Hmmm, not sure what you're referencing, baegucb, but it's all good.

Meanwhile, in December 2010, lyin'Ryanwrote a letter to HHS asking for Obamacare money for a clinic in Racine. I guess he was for it before he was against it.

/me points to poobah as someone else who mistook one of my jokes :)

916...agreed, there is racism in the Democratic party as well. As far as the Obama's not knowing their place...I have heard that comment directly from people within my own family and my next door neignbor verbally agreed with them, so no it was not an ignorant comment. Again, ignorant means uninformed, that was not an uninformed comment. It was a personal observation. The same neighbors told us " If you sell your house to nixxxers, we'll burn it down. They deny they are against Obama because he is black.

Any examples of me "making stuff up," totellthetruth? Or do you just like to puff your chest out and pound on it?

winklady - the odds of anyone other than Patriot In Mom's Basement (PIMBs) looking at your web links are slim to none.

But keep posting them anyway, because fedup has already shown he/she is slacking in his/her patriotic research.

Oneday.......in an attempt to correct an ignorant comment of yours--It has nothing to do with the "Obamas not knowing their place", rather everything to do with the Obamas misrepresenting how they got to that place. Good day..........

oneday........Enlightening comment! You could also just as easily say that not all democrats are racist but no one can honestly say that racism doesn't exist in the democratic party.......Right??

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/ever-not...

"Of course Obama had it tough growing up. Let's see you try and catch that antelope while dressed in a loincloth, and being chased by a lion!" Nope...no racism there.

from wasp2491 "Just where are you on the issue of success? Or are only certain people supposed to be successful, if you know what I mean? Wink wink nudge nudge." My thoughts exactly. There are certain people on this site that resent the Obama's success because they feel the Obama's don't know their place. I have a next door neighbor and a brother who have said exactly that. Not all Republicans are racist but no one can honestly say that racism doesn't exist in the Republican party.
People who choose to believe briebart and strictly right wing sites are choosing to be stupid. Ignorance is not knowing but denying the facts from legtimate sources is just plain stupid. To claim sources such as Poltifact are not legtimate is riduclous when most of the politicians in D.C. use the site to validate their claims.

Wow fedup , looks like I struck a nerve and what kool aid would that be? the kool aid that is making not vote for Romney or the kool aid making me not vote for Obama?

wislady - First Lady's False Fairy Tale of Struggle. You are are a very confused person. Just what do you believe. Are you criticizing your President and First Lady for being successful? Just where are you on the issue of success? Or are only certain people supposed to be successful, if you know what I mean? Wink wink nudge nudge.

Yeah, fduptaxpayer -I'm a bit surprised and disappointed you hadn't seen that one yet.

Personal Responsibility- don't rely on other Patriots to feed you the right-wing talking points. Do your duty, read the right-wing blogs, watch Fox, take vitamin O as needed, and rage at your keyboard.

Fedup and Wislady, you guys posting links to Foxnews and breitbart is about as credible as when poobah and yada post their links to lefty sources.

I'm getting tired of all this talk of diversity at the DNC. The GOP is diversified -let's see - we have the wealthy capitalists. The tea party. We have the evangelical christian right-wingers. We have the gun people. People that like zygotes.

And that's just off the top of my head. Why I dare say the GOP is a melting pot - just like Waukesha County.

Fact Check: First Lady's False Fairy Tale of Struggle

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/...

Of course Obama had it tough growing up. Let's see you try and catch that antelope while dressed in a loincloth, and being chased by a lion!

His biggest struggle is deciding on which golf course to play.........!

no, do you care to explain what your comment has to do with the quote from my comment with which you prefaced your comment? My quote referenced neither sincerity or struggles - which were the bulk of your comment. Perhaps you just admired what I had said so much that you wanted to quote it somewhere and stuck it at the front of your comment? I'm flattered if that's the case.

*The First Lady's speech came across as very heartfelt and was delightful to listen to. *

Sincerity: once you can fake that you have got it made.

As far as any sort of "struggle" is concerned--I'm sure the only "struggling" the current President has heard about it was from his Marxist professors just like anyone else who has been to University in the last 50 years.

No one who went to an elite prep school in Hawaii, Columbia and Harvard ever had to struggle for anything.

The whole lot of the GOP supporters are a disgrace to this county as THEY WILL ACCEPT LIARS UPON LIARS Over the ones that stand with the people FEDUP you are IMO the poorest excuse for an American along with Wiscolady///.mjoseph must repost the truth of your post,, President Obama’s recent achievements:
Got us out of the worst recession since the Great Depression.
Ended the unnecessary war in Iraq.
Helped to save the American auto industry.
Helped to create more than 4 million jobs in America.
His leadership led to the capture and death of Osama bin Laden
He wants to lower taxes for middle class, while having the wealthy pay a little more - just what most Americans say is needed.
And, Mitt Romney’s achievements:
While at Bain Capital, he created thousands of
jobs, got richer, and tore apart many good companies that left former employees uninsured and out of jobs.
He wants to take America back to the failed economic policies of President George Bush.
He enriched himself considerably by opening Swiss, Bermudan and other foreign bank accounts to bet against America, and he has ultimate control over these accounts, as his 1994 TV interview proves.
He is a friend to billionaires who are supporting him with their unlimited Super PAC donations, so that, if elected, ordinary Americans will be forced to pay higher taxes, while Mitt’s rich friends will pay almost nothing.
The choice is easy! Vote for Obama-Biden: America can’t go back to the 1920s.

LOL:

*Ended the unnecessary war in Iraq.*

According to Bush's timeline, which was only successful because of Bush's surge, which all Dems were loudly against.

*Helped to save the American auto industry.*

Bailout of auto industry started when Bush was POTUS.

*His leadership led to the capture and death of Osama bin Laden*

Democrats didn't want us to put boots on the ground in Af/Pak--it was Bush who sent the troops in.

50% women unfavor Obama? I believe it. As I've said before, it's insulting to most women (sane women) to think all we care about is paying for someone else's lifestyle. The Democrats are barking up the wrong tree on that one.

poobah
As long as YOU believe it, that all that counts.

I think maybe your user name should be "asp". All you do is hurl venomous names at people or accuse others of being racist, when you obviously hate women or anyone who doesn't not agree with your agenda.

wislady said, "Show us the jobs he ever had that he got a salary, before he became a senator."

Here you go, wislady. From: [ http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/... ]

"1975 or 1976 — ice cream scooper, Baskin-Robbins — Honolulu — Obama claims to have lost his taste for ice cream during this, his first job, the duration of which is not publicly known.

Date unknown — deli counter clerk, business name unknown — Honolulu — Obama had a summer job at a deli counter in Hawaii, making sandwiches, his spokesman said during the presidential campaign.

1980 — gift shop sales clerk, business name unknown — Honolulu — Obama worked at a gift shop in Hawaii selling island souvenirs the summer after his freshman year at Occidental College in California.

Sometime between 1981-1983 — construction worker, business name unknown — New York — Obama cleared a construction site for a summer on Manhattan's Upper West Side while attending Columbia University, the Associated Press reported. Obama referred to this job in Dreams From My Father .

Sometime between 1981-1983 — position unknown, company unknown — New York — During his years at Columbia University, Obama worked one summer for a private company processing health records of either police or firefighters, his spokesman said during the presidential campaign.

Sometime between 1981-1983 — telemarketer, company unknown — New York — During one school year at Columbia, Obama was a telemarketer in midtown Manhattan selling New York Times subscriptions over the phone, his spokesman said during the presidential campaign.

1983-84 — research assistant, Business International Corporation — New York — At this firm that helped American companies do business abroad, Obama was a researcher and writer for a reference service called Financing Foreign Operations; among his duties was writing a newsletter called Business International Money Report.

1993-2004 — associate and partner (starting 1996), Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland — Chicago — defended clients ranging from landlords to a securities trader, and handled employment-discrimination and voting-rights cases at this Chicago law firm.

1993-2004 — part-time lecturer, University of Chicago Law School — Chicago — lectured on constitutional law.

There you have it. By our count, Obama earned paychecks from 11 for-profit businesses, compared to just six nonprofit or government employers."

There was not near the bashing of Romney as there was of Obama VERY LITTLE and Leave it to the gazette to under play the great speeches we heard last night. GO GET LITTLE BOY RYAN AND CONFRONT HIS LYING at the RNC and as he is continuing to do everyday. This was the DNC night and the Gazette looks to find fault in a GREAT speech by the Democrats and The truth hurts the GOP and I did not see you throw negative in Lyan Ryan's coverage and IMO you justified his lies. Or should i say mistakes?

"Michelle, I'm hunched over and can't believe the struggles I've caused these families in these letters
"How much staff do you need to Martha's Vineyard this time? 34 again or can we present the lie of our struggles and only take 33?"

I'm feeling really awful, it appears that we have lost the votes of raf, midnightride,Eagle1,
Feduptaxpayer and whineylady. They were for the president all along and now this convention has driven them away. Whatever will we do?

"Michelle, keep your feet up. I don't want your rich daddy getting mad at me when you lose your Guccis through the hole in my car"

Eagle1 - the centrist crying out as a voice of reason from the Wilderness of Extremists -Thankfully you play right into the hands of the Patriot extremists...

Yeah, us GOP like those that feign to balance opinions and "meet in the middle" - that's why we just keep pushing our screamin-mimi patriotism further to the right.

When it comes to compromise, we GOP arrive at the arbitration table with:

-zero tax rates on investment income
-ban the dept of Ed and EPA
-the grand magic of vouchers to fix education and health care inefficiencies
-global climate change denial
-No abortion even in rape/incest, and a wary cast upon birth control
-endless increased defense spending
-legalized assault rifles
-and all sorts of goodies - check with Grover Norquist if you need info.

Sure it's a low ball offer, but we are willing to negotiate with common-sense centrists. But not much. Ha ha beautiful

Hey, yes there are extremists on the Left - but they lack one thing that we have - financial backing (you are welcome patriots) and lockstep unity. And don't forget the Man up above. We pay to make sure He's on our side too.

Barry was so proud of sharing the lie that he was benched at his private school for race and not because he couldn't dunk. But not too proud to tell us he's a dumpster diver for his proudest thing - a table

wislady: The truth is out there. Please do some homework. I question your 'textbooks'.

midnightride and brotherkoch: Patriots fought for freedom from the elite. Tories supported the elite. Your definition of a 'patriot' is different than mine.
It is funny trying to watch some deny the stories of Mrs. Obama's life. She and her dedicated family helped her go to private schools, and when done she had college debt. Luckily she worked in the private sector as a successful lawyer, and her husband, a personal success story, wrote very successful books, (a private business?). That is the American Dream. She wasn't born on third base, and you can't knock that.

"They are now due to hard work, education and perservence"

Absolutely....NOT true. Show us the jobs he ever had that he got a salary, before he became a senator. Yes, they got both have diplomas. That is all we know.

"Michelle, I'm hunched over and can't believe the struggles I've caused these families in these letters" "How was Spain?"

Midnight_ride, it makes me feel Patriotic that we are sometimes considered the same person with multiple user accounts. But be careful with your mimicking me - that may result in both of us Patriots being banned.

All the handwringing and excuse making for your beloved parties is truly something to marvel at. I am amazed at the Zombie like comments by the vast majority on this site. The GOP and Dems sure have some good foot soldiers to do their dirty work even if it is spreading lies and propaganda. Good work fine people of Janesville.

"Michelle, I'm hunched over and can't believe the struggles I've caused these families in these letters" "Have you seen my golf clubs?"

DustyD, that just makes Mittens a natural born job-creator. Not only is in his blood ...but it was in his mouth.. the silver spoon.

It's only fitting that inheritors born into capital assets pay much lower tax rates than the working stiffs that are trying to get a leg up. Make them saps earn it!

We republicans believe in bloodlines. And Mittens is a born capitalist...like me.

Michelle's speech doesn't pass the smell test. Is that what the initials B.O. stands for?

Thankfully, the liberals are dumb, and don't know when to point to the past era in which the great American Middle Class came to be - a period which was typified by progressive tax rates (which means higher on the wealthy), faier competition with monopolies held in check by govt enforced antitrust laws, and strong union presence to improve worker wages.

Wouldn't you say that, like Mitt and Paul, waking up to a sweet trust fund and a paid-for private school education is something of a redustribution of wealth, or do you really believe in hereditary royalty similar to that our founding fathers fought to escape?

How is this the presidents fault ?? When you have companies saying they HAVE to lay people off because of the economy...And the same company turns around and hires 2 people to replace the 1 laid off.This is happening right here in Janesville.A friend worked for a company for 23 years made 32.00$ hr.,was laid off and a week later 2 people hired at minimum wage and 20 hrs a week.This company hasn't been hit with lost of business,if anything they have done well since this all started.Until people really start holding companies accountable for their actions...maybe we will see a difference in the unemployment rate.

I wonder if Michelle has ever seen Barak's ivy league college transcripts?

Good ole Mittens and Ann, now that's a rags to riches story....at least compared to mine.

Oh but his father, George, had it rough every now and then, so Mitt can latch onto that. But don't go braggin up grandpas story too much. Our right wing christians might not like it too well.

Midnight_Ride, the only time conservatives seem to want to adjust for inflation is when they're talking about the income of liberals. I've tried convincing your conservative colleagues of the prudence in adjusting for inflation and measuring debt as a percentage of GDP, to no avail. So I'm now pleasantly surprised to see you adjusting the First Lady's father's income for inflation. Amazing. I hope other conservatives take note of your lead and apply it when discussing the huge run-up of debt as a percentage of GDP under Reagan, Bush I and Bush II.

couldn't see the truth if it smacked you in the face. " Michelle speech was the most gross and vile thing I have heard in years."

I think the above comment is one of the most gross and vile things I have heard in years.

The Obama's were not always rich. They are now due to hard work, education and perservence. I thought these were qualities you righties respected? I guess not. What is it about the Obama's achieving success that has all of you so angry?

"At 13.6%, the unemployment rate for blacks is still far higher than the rate for other racial and ethnic groups, as well as the nation as a whole."

"Women Joblessness Up 15.5% Under Obama"

...maybe Obamanomics does target race and gender" poverty diversity

42 months of over 8% unemployment. Diversity.
Obamanomics leaves out no race to send to poverty.

poobah, did you fact check that Michelle grew up with a rich daddy? By today's inflation adjustment he'd be a wealthy 10%er now.
They both attended private schools and he was working when he met Michelle. They both had ivy league college educations and I doubt very much Obama ever purchased shoes too small for his feet.
Bravo Michelle, your struggles are large and hard and false indeed. Obama's brother, now he's struggling. Poverty, diversity.

No matter what you think about politics, Michelle Obama is obviously an intelligent and dedicated woman and mother. Some of you would do good to recognize at least that much in people. Or you can sit and wallow in your hate day after day after day, constantly blaming someone else. your choice.

wislady: I liked it when Ann Romney talked about her family and her struggle with illness, (the Storybook section). What did you like in Mrs. Obama's speech? Also, tweet attacks go both ways, and as a Democrat, I do not recognize much of what you post. That sounds like a Rush or Sean Hannity's spin on what we are. They don't know, but like to excite Republicans. Some of the posts on here quote '2016' and identity hiding. Come back to reality! I got you do not like the President, but come on.
poobah: Well said. Bowlgal is running over her own talking points.

Bowlgal, you thought it was "odd that after 4 years as President" that the First Lady would, "have to tell us who her husband is."

But why would you think that Is odd if, as you went on to say, "I have learned in the last 4 years they do try to hide who they are?" You then seem more confused by stating that, "everything before national television was socialism on full display." So do you think they're hiding or don't you? Make up your mind.

"poverty at the highest level since 1965."

A Democrat LBJ was in charge also then.

http://news.yahoo.com/us-poverty-track-r...

poobah, does it matter if it's 1960's or in history all time? Poverty is high and it's under a Democrat both times. Does that make you feel better for nit-picking?

What I think is the most odd is why, after 4 years as President, did Mrs. Obama have to tell us who her husband is.

She gave a good speech but everything before national television was socialism on full display. I have learned in the last 4 years they do try to hide who they are.

South Carolina Democratic Party chairman Dick Harpootlian likened Republican GOP governor Nikki Haley of South Carolina to Eva Braun, the wife of Nazi tyrant Adolph Hitler.

More hate from Democrats towards women. They took God out of the platform and the only thing we have is Government. How much lower will this party fall?

"On Tuesday night in Charlotte, North Carolina, Michelle Obama gave one of the finest speeches ever delivered at a national political convention. More important, it could have more impact on the immediate future of the country than her husband's celebrated 2004 keynote address to the Democratic National Convention in Boston." [ http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/05/opinion/st... ]

And Corporations are PEOPLE!!! and Government belongs to US!...

Or somethin like that.

it's a tactic many use on this board they attribute the parties actions to someones comments as a way to deflect their own parties shortcomings, then cry foul that words are put in their mouth, its ok I don't expect blind partisans to understand actual thought. Don't forget to throw out the racist label my way since I am so insensitive.

We do not belong to the government, the government belongs to us! It's beyond time that the politicians remember this!!!!!!

What I'm ditching, Eagle1, is attempting to debate with people like yourself who start attributing statements to me that I never made. How can you have an honest debate when a person starts doing that? If you can QUOTE my words in this thread where I was, "labeling me incorrectly as a republican once again," I will apologize to you. Otherwise, continue debating with yourself over what you imagined I said.

Thanks for illustrating you have no rebuttal Poobah. Ditch the Partisan goggles it is a much better world.

It would be hilarious if after a Mittens presidency, we put his presidential library offshore- somewhere like the Caymans.

That's a good goal to have - proof that we've been Made.

Eagle1 said, "Poobah thanks for labeling me incorrectly as a republican once again."

Now you're resorting to putting words in my mouth. I did not label you as Republican or even come close to doing that. When you restore some credibility to your argument, as opposed to misrepresenting what I said or didn't say, perhaps I will re-engage you.

It's a great time to be a rich American.

I wake up every day and thank the dear Lord that my Father was wealthy. Then I donate a little cash to GOP causes to make sure it stays that way.

Then I go to stir up a little patriotism and infighting amongst you underlings...and lo and behold the Patriots have done it for me. Bless you and your benevolence to ensuring I stay wealthy....here's a nice tri-cornered hat for ye!

ifiruledtheworld, you surely couldn't have mistaken that the First Lady was speaking about Mitt Romney, now could you?

Poobah thanks for labeling me incorrectly as a republican once again, and yes they choreograph everything in regards to diversity, if you don't believe so attend a Democratic event and watch how they place people for effect. As far as my question about large democratic controlled cities being a result of GOP policies is at best misguided and laughable. Detroit has been run by Democrats for over 60 years, go visit tell me how that has helped the Black people there? You can call it a lack of sensitivity an honest objective person will say it is calling it as it is., a horrific shame that continues due to blind partisan following.

Eagle1, I disagree with your opinion when it comes to delegate selection in the Democrat party. The process yields such a rainbow of diversity that it isn't necessary to choreograph the appearance of it at the Democrat convention. The same can not be said of the Republican convention.

The fact you need to ask, "visit a large city which has been run by Democrats and tell me how the Black folks are in decent shape?" demonstrates a lack of sensitivity about how and why diverse communities mistrust the history of Republican policies.

Mrs. Obama is a wonderful, charismatic speaker. Listening to her last night at the DNC Convention I kept hoping she was talking about someone else. Really hoping. But, NO, she was talking about Barack Obama. His actions and policies over the last four years (and beyond) speak louder than her words last night. Maybe he's great for his family, but not for our country. Don't be fooled.

The GOP is about growing government in their own way to keep power for their own benefit no different than the Dems.

The Republicans care about race.
The Human Race.

And what liberal policies are doing to suppress us.

poobah the Dems play the look at our diversity game just as much as the GOP, it is pretty shameless by both parties. I have always questioned the loyalty by certain groups not necessarily based on race but other factors as to why they blindly support one party over the other, when if you examine the treatment of that party towards those groups it isn't always positive. Case in point the Black American loyalty to the Dems, visit a large city which has been run by Democrats and tell me how the Black folks are in decent shape? On the flipside the blind loyalty evangelical christians have towards the GOP is baffling as well.

16 trillion in debt to all Americans. Diversity

Highest US poverty in history and 46 million Americans on Welfare knows no race. Diversity.

The First Lady's speech came across as very heartfelt and was delightful to listen to. What struck me was the unmistakable contrast in diversity between the delegates at the Democrat and Republican conventions. The attempt of the appearance of diversity at the Republican convention with several carefully selected and choreographed people within prime camera angles was so disingenuous. The America I'm proud to be a part of is the truly diverse America we saw last night at the Democrat convention.

Our think tanks say Mittens needs 60% of the white vote to be elected.

But only 5% of the black vote.

Government Government Government - We all belong to the Government - not one word about God given rights. God given abilities.

Just more Government. I went looking for my shovel and a puck bucket.

>>>I was reminded why I am proud to be a liberal Democrat.<<<

Ahh yes, the "Hope and Change" elixir is really kicking in now. Proof positive that ignorance is bliss.

Of the people. By the people. For the people.
The first president from the Republican Party thought so.

“Government is the only thing that we all belong to”

This statement should creep out anyone who values freedom. Today, the DNC is trying to do a talk back.

"Democrats think they knows what unites Americans — the government — and they released a video at the Democratic National Convention making that argument today.

“We do believe you can use government in a good way,” the video says. “Government is the only thing that we all belong to. We’re part of different churches, different clubs, but we’re together as a part of our city or our county or our state — and our nation.”

There is a reason CNN themselves put a hush on the event.

I liked it.

- so the patriots feel compelled to tweak the..um... old caucausian tribal heartstrings, shall we say.

Pace yourself Patriots. Two months is a long time to rage at a keyboard.

Make sure the housekeeper has you good and stocked up on Vitamin O
(oxycontin).

The people screaming "WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION" are the same ones that support a "STRONG DEFENSE" that costs $700 BILLION per year and is one of the greatest WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION (low and middle income to economic elites) SCAMS ever devised. We spend as much on our "STRONG DEFENSE" as the next TWENTY countries COMBINED. More than FOUR times as much as China and Russia COMBINED. Let's talk about "WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION."

Obama has gotten us out of the worst economy since the depression? Unemployment is around 8% and that's good? We are at 16 trillion in debit and that's good? If we elect Obama again we'll just follow in the footsteps of Greece. By the way I believe the auto bailout was Bush and Obama. mjoseph put down the pipe!

In news today...THE NATIONAL DEBT: OVER $16 TRILLION
Obama tells Bush: YOU DIDN'T BUILD THAT!

“I have seen firsthand that being president doesn’t change who you are, it reveals who you are,” the first lady said. I agree with that statement however I don't like what was revealed. Ultra-far-left. Noone ever has to take responsibility for their own life, let the government be responsible for you.

The Romney-Ryan method for telling the supposed "truth."

1. Tell a lie.

2. Repeat it again and again, and deny that it is a lie to all who ask, despite irrefutable evidence that it is a lie.

3. Keep repeating process for all lies until enough gullible and uninformed Americans think that the lies are true, and damage the opponent in the meantime.

Such total Republican BS!

President Obama’s recent achievements:

Got us out of the worst recession since the Great Depression.

Ended the unnecessary war in Iraq.

Helped to save the American auto industry.

Helped to create more than 4 million jobs in America.

His leadership led to the capture and death of Osama bin Laden

He wants to lower taxes for middle class, while having the wealthy pay a little more - just what most Americans say is needed.

And, Mitt Romney’s achievements:

While at Bain Capital, he created thousands of
jobs, got richer, and tore apart many good companies that left former employees uninsured and out of jobs.

He wants to take America back to the failed economic policies of President George Bush.

He enriched himself considerably by opening Swiss, Bermudan and other foreign bank accounts to bet against America, and he has ultimate control over these accounts, as his 1994 TV interview proves.

He is a friend to billionaires who are supporting him with their unlimited Super PAC donations, so that, if elected, ordinary Americans will be forced to pay higher taxes, while Mitt’s rich friends will pay almost nothing.

The choice is easy! Vote for Obama-Biden: America can’t go back to the 1920s.

No, the outrage was about the RNC people throwing nuts at a black CNN camera woman.

wislady-For them it is freedom of speech. If it were to have been said about the First Lady or Biden's wife then all hell would break loose and they would have been called woman hating racists.

So far...no outrage from media on the repulsive Tweets sent out about Mrs. Romney and Mrs. Ryan last week. If anyone has a criticism of a piece of clothing flotus wears, it is headlines for a month by the MSM.

fedup...I more than likely have more wealth than you, which must really confuse you why I would vote for Obama. It comes down the character. Rmoney has none and Obama has much.If rmoney had character, he would release his tax returns like his dad did.

Nice speech....lumps in good with the other 3 1/2 years worth.

You are quick to make the assumption (wrongly so) that people didn't watch FLOTUS.

A Romney and M Obama both gave good speeches (if you watched Mrs. Romney).

NVgrf: You point is well made in the two blog comments following you! FedUp and Wislady: Mrs. Obama nailed it, (if you watched it). I could see why you wouldn't want to, because it may have touched your hearts.

fedup would rather have Rmoney redistribute your money to big oil and the kochs. It's called romneyhood. Remember what mitten said..."corporations are people too"

It was all about redistribution of wealth, and punishing people who are successful.
No mention of the 16 Trillion record hit yesterday, the fact that this current WH occupant has failed, or that the Occupy people were busy protesting outside (bused from NY to the RNC convention, then to the DNC convention, paid for by the unions).

It was nice to see both spouses not dwell on the negative. I thought Castro gave the speech of the evening. I enjoyed watching almost all of the RNC, but last night I was reminded why I am proud to be a liberal Democrat.
