While I expect it's the latter, I can't help but hope the media will call the RNC out on their lies. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 30/08/2012 11:00:20 AM
I am trying to determine whether most of the speakers bleating about having built everything entirely by themselves were being duplicitous and deliberately misrepresenting what Obama and Warren have said, or of they're actually idiots.

I encourage anyone planning on voting in the US elections this November to watch both conventions. Tom - 27/08/2012 11:38:31 PM 1069 Views

You're not properly using a "Re:" tag if you are changing the subject line. *NM* Tom - 28/08/2012 12:42:13 AM 298 Views
It is convenient though, and concise. Joel - 28/08/2012 02:10:52 AM 805 Views
I had to do it to fit the 100 character limit *NM* Praziquantel - 28/08/2012 03:58:32 AM 356 Views
Unless you're Roh. *NM* Legolas - 28/08/2012 09:56:01 PM 338 Views
I'm not sure why the rules of the English language wouldn't apply to her in particular. *NM* Tom - 29/08/2012 02:05:39 AM 342 Views
Because I miss her posts, I guess. Legolas - 29/08/2012 09:20:23 PM 651 Views
One can't say "regarding" unless one has referred to something first. Tom - 30/08/2012 09:00:16 PM 618 Views
God already decided the GOP convention should be cut short. No arguing with deities. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 28/08/2012 12:03:30 AM 399 Views
Would you still say that if Obama were struck by lightning? *NM* Tom - 28/08/2012 12:42:40 AM 269 Views
Assuming he survived, I'd probably make the same joke, yes. TaskmasterJack - 28/08/2012 01:28:44 AM 655 Views
No, no, they "prayed away the spray." Joel - 28/08/2012 02:09:02 AM 671 Views
I may need to see if there is an online stream. Joel - 28/08/2012 12:34:07 AM 747 Views
The party platform is generally stated, though. Tom - 28/08/2012 12:44:04 AM 635 Views
Yes, but past conventions also decided it; now it is just reiterated and marketed (or downplayed.) Joel - 28/08/2012 01:54:08 AM 756 Views
I sometimes watch bits and pieces Larry - 28/08/2012 01:03:04 AM 696 Views
Ive decided to vote for Satan. Aisha - 28/08/2012 02:42:09 AM 711 Views
Glad to see you joining the Republican fold! *NM* Tom - 28/08/2012 01:23:55 PM 329 Views
Cheney isn't running this year *NM* Isaac - 29/08/2012 06:40:44 AM 370 Views
*NM* Avendesora - 30/08/2012 09:48:47 PM 346 Views
Well, yeah; most of us are, but which one...? Joel - 29/08/2012 11:24:09 PM 704 Views
What else do we need to know? Obama was a disaster for 4 years, everything got worse..... Anonymous2000 - 28/08/2012 04:57:21 AM 679 Views
You are right. The Green Party is clearly the sensible choice. *NM* Stephen - 28/08/2012 08:10:26 PM 347 Views
Who??? *NM* everynametaken - 29/08/2012 05:02:27 AM 364 Views
I may have been joking when I said that. *NM* Stephen - 29/08/2012 10:47:27 AM 394 Views
*NM* everynametaken - 30/08/2012 05:43:10 AM 368 Views
The incumbent administration being deemed a 4-year disaster didn't help Kerry defeat Bush. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 28/08/2012 09:28:03 PM 389 Views
But that was all in foreign policy. The economy was doing pretty well back then. Tom - 29/08/2012 02:04:13 AM 685 Views
+1 - the ecomony in 2004 was kicking butt and lead to GWB's reelection, *NM* Anonymous2000 - 29/08/2012 05:05:12 AM 365 Views
Only by comparison to the rest of Bushs presidency. Joel - 29/08/2012 09:53:20 AM 743 Views
You're actually blaming Bush for 9/11 now? Isaac - 30/08/2012 04:22:05 AM 668 Views
It is the Richard Clarke criticism. Joel - 30/08/2012 01:08:39 PM 726 Views
He also blames Bush for a Clinton dot-com bubble bursting. Tom - 30/08/2012 09:04:38 PM 623 Views
Question: Joel - 30/08/2012 11:04:35 PM 790 Views
You are so delusional it is a waste of time to discuss the matter further. Tom - 30/08/2012 11:12:42 PM 611 Views
Those sophisticated pets.com investors were driving the Dow at some point? Joel - 30/08/2012 11:32:11 PM 776 Views
Re: What else do we need to know? Obama was a disaster for 4 years, everything got worse..... callandor1000 - 03/09/2012 03:57:00 AM 656 Views
I think you're trying to get me to vote "neither." nossy - 28/08/2012 03:08:07 PM 746 Views
"None of the Above!" ~ Monty Brewster *NM* TaskmasterJack - 28/08/2012 09:28:33 PM 364 Views
Ideally, I'm trying to just get as many people as possible to not vote Obama. Tom - 29/08/2012 02:04:57 AM 600 Views
Conventions won't do that. nossy - 29/08/2012 07:56:22 PM 639 Views
See, you're not taking it far enough. callandor1000 - 03/09/2012 04:03:40 AM 702 Views
Fox News (!) on Ryan's speech last night. ironclad - 30/08/2012 09:09:43 AM 710 Views
Fox News or a token liberal at Fox News? snoopcester - 30/08/2012 09:23:22 AM 829 Views
While I expect it's the latter, I can't help but hope the media will call the RNC out on their lies. Ghavrel - 30/08/2012 11:00:20 AM 702 Views
They are doing so, but it does not matter. Joel - 30/08/2012 03:26:47 PM 886 Views
Part of the problem is that trust in media is an all time low and the earned that random thoughts - 30/08/2012 04:49:23 PM 733 Views
Much of it is Reagans old PR man creating Fox News to falsely convince people media is untrustworthy Joel - 30/08/2012 07:35:19 PM 806 Views
Lies is a strong word. If the RNC lies, Obama is postively burning through his pants wardrobe. Tom - 30/08/2012 10:04:39 PM 656 Views
The cancer thing was absurd, yes. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/08/2012 12:45:33 AM 304 Views
I am confused about so many things concerning this election. callandor1000 - 03/09/2012 03:53:35 AM 662 Views
