Conventions are a waste of time and money! Both parties need to be cleaned up! The press I get msn is negative about GOP where as the dems are walking on water! Lets get a press that has some substance and real reporting, how about a media that doesn't take sides. Can both parties and start over! Both parties have too much power!

I watched Meet The Press this week, even though, of all the guests, there was only ONE Democrat. ONE Democrat on the show, but she was Debbie Wasserman Shultz, and she rocked.

PS I had never seen an extended interview with Jeb Bush before. I'd say, the fleshier Bush isn't so much smarter than George, but he is slicker. And he has the same penchant for protecting wealthy interests over ordinary Americans. I can't believe I ever thought their father wasn't too bad.

Schultz is a lying wind bag. Every time she opens her jagged tooth, I want to bitch slap her. Kinda like the hateful bags on this blog. You know, Beverly and that other pig, Feisty. Get laid ladies, you'll be happier people.

Nice language, there kenva, is that how they teach you to talk about women in rightwing blogging school?

Gee, tell us again the GOP doesn't hate women.

    Well, we just can' wish that people played nice. The only thing we can do is keep informed. When we read a catch phrase like "you didn't build that", which we know was culled/cut from a speech to acknowledge that "it' was not built in a vaccumm, we should be wary of the use of the catch phrase. Watch out for glib slogans. Romney himself said politics is not "bean bags". In order to play hard ball there is not a need to play foul ball. Truman said, when they called him "give em hell", "I don't give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think it is hell". The Republicans have a whole lot of things that they think should not be spoken about, starting with Romny's showing the same amout of tax returns as his father. Let's see more truth.

    The liberal media at it again! Without the liberal media Obama would have never won the first election much less a second term as a communist president. He hates our flag, our values and spends like there is no tomorrow! If the media took him apart like the GOP he would not have a chance in hell. Show his tax returns, school records, birth certificate? Oh that's right he is so special he does not have to. He went to college as a foreign exchance student. LOL! I just hate that I will suffer for your stupidity in the future with this egotist ass!
