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 909 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 237 Views
It is convenient though, and concise. Joel - 28/08/2012 02:10:52 AM 636 Views
I had to do it to fit the 100 character limit *NM* Praziquantel - 28/08/2012 03:58:32 AM 298 Views
Unless you're Roh. *NM* Legolas - 28/08/2012 09:56:01 PM 281 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 275 Views
Because I miss her posts, I guess. Legolas - 29/08/2012 09:20:23 PM 503 Views
One can't say "regarding" unless one has referred to something first. Tom - 30/08/2012 09:00:16 PM 464 Views
God already decided the GOP convention should be cut short. No arguing with deities. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 28/08/2012 12:03:30 AM 335 Views
Would you still say that if Obama were struck by lightning? *NM* Tom - 28/08/2012 12:42:40 AM 217 Views
Assuming he survived, I'd probably make the same joke, yes. TaskmasterJack - 28/08/2012 01:28:44 AM 502 Views
No, no, they "prayed away the spray." Joel - 28/08/2012 02:09:02 AM 512 Views
I may need to see if there is an online stream. Joel - 28/08/2012 12:34:07 AM 591 Views
The party platform is generally stated, though. Tom - 28/08/2012 12:44:04 AM 479 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 578 Views
I sometimes watch bits and pieces Larry - 28/08/2012 01:03:04 AM 552 Views
Ive decided to vote for Satan. Aisha - 28/08/2012 02:42:09 AM 553 Views
Glad to see you joining the Republican fold! *NM* Tom - 28/08/2012 01:23:55 PM 251 Views
Cheney isn't running this year *NM* Isaac - 29/08/2012 06:40:44 AM 303 Views
*NM* Avendesora - 30/08/2012 09:48:47 PM 283 Views
Well, yeah; most of us are, but which one...? Joel - 29/08/2012 11:24:09 PM 530 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 525 Views
You are right. The Green Party is clearly the sensible choice. *NM* Stephen - 28/08/2012 08:10:26 PM 288 Views
Who??? *NM* everynametaken - 29/08/2012 05:02:27 AM 303 Views
I may have been joking when I said that. *NM* Stephen - 29/08/2012 10:47:27 AM 332 Views
*NM* everynametaken - 30/08/2012 05:43:10 AM 305 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 304 Views
But that was all in foreign policy. The economy was doing pretty well back then. Tom - 29/08/2012 02:04:13 AM 563 Views
+1 - the ecomony in 2004 was kicking butt and lead to GWB's reelection, *NM* Anonymous2000 - 29/08/2012 05:05:12 AM 301 Views
Only by comparison to the rest of Bushs presidency. Joel - 29/08/2012 09:53:20 AM 593 Views
You're actually blaming Bush for 9/11 now? Isaac - 30/08/2012 04:22:05 AM 513 Views
It is the Richard Clarke criticism. Joel - 30/08/2012 01:08:39 PM 574 Views
He also blames Bush for a Clinton dot-com bubble bursting. Tom - 30/08/2012 09:04:38 PM 472 Views
Question: Joel - 30/08/2012 11:04:35 PM 635 Views
You are so delusional it is a waste of time to discuss the matter further. Tom - 30/08/2012 11:12:42 PM 467 Views
Those sophisticated pets.com investors were driving the Dow at some point? Joel - 30/08/2012 11:32:11 PM 602 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 489 Views
I think you're trying to get me to vote "neither." nossy - 28/08/2012 03:08:07 PM 586 Views
"None of the Above!" ~ Monty Brewster *NM* TaskmasterJack - 28/08/2012 09:28:33 PM 293 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 434 Views
Conventions won't do that. nossy - 29/08/2012 07:56:22 PM 484 Views
See, you're not taking it far enough. callandor1000 - 03/09/2012 04:03:40 AM 547 Views
Fox News (!) on Ryan's speech last night. ironclad - 30/08/2012 09:09:43 AM 547 Views
Fox News or a token liberal at Fox News? snoopcester - 30/08/2012 09:23:22 AM 676 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 547 Views
They are doing so, but it does not matter. Joel - 30/08/2012 03:26:47 PM 729 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 578 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 631 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 509 Views
The cancer thing was absurd, yes. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/08/2012 12:45:33 AM 239 Views
I am confused about so many things concerning this election. callandor1000 - 03/09/2012 03:53:35 AM 502 Views
