Yesterday, coming home from Drinking Liberally, I was reading the paper version of the New York Times. And I guess it was seeing all of the headlines for the Op-Ed columnists all together. I noticed that all the headlines were shit.
They’re Not What They Used to Be doesn’t tell you what “they” refers to. People over 30 will say that about just about anything if given the opportunity. Maybe say “conventions” in the headline. The Elevator Speech refers to a common phrase that BoBo mentions in the piece. But again, it’s a common enough phrase, especially in the business world that just using that as the headline doesn’t actually tell you anything. The Hex on Paul Ryan is the least terrible of the headlines, and it’s not particularly good either. I guess you could probably guess that the hex is being picked as VP, but the piece probably spent more time on Biden than Ryan, so maybe something more VP related would be better.
Paul Ryan is caught being a miserable hypocrite AGAIN!

I’ve lost my CNN live feed. Don’t know if this is systemic, or just my computer, but here’s another live feed if you need one:
http://www.demconvention.com/live/
Jim Sinegal (Costco founder) is speaking now, to be followed by Elizabeth Warren, then Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and Bill Clinton.
Unbelievable Klownvention mishap for the Dummocrats! Obama wants them to put God & Jerusalem back in the Dummocrat Platform because it has become a major issue since the Atheist wing orchestrated the removal of both. only problem is it takes a 2/3 majority to amend the platform.
Watch this charade for yourselves.
The majority of Dummocrat delegates are actually BOO’ing GOD. Not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES.
http://video.foxnews.com/v/182.....c-platform
It’s unbelievable and will be thumped over the Dummocrats punkinheads until Election Day.
Who would vote for the Party that BOO’s GOD???
Bill Clinton will now formally nominate Barack Obama for President of the United States.
@4–Who gives a shit.
It’s about holding Obama accountable for his pathetic record of higher unemployment, another $6 Trillion in debt and no fucking plan.
@3 For similar bile, see comments to pudge’s convention thread at (u)SP.
P.S., I’m proud — PROUD — to be despised by them. Their venom gives me the certain knowledge that I’m on the right side of history and makes me feel like the real American I am.
Bill Clinton: “Every Republican wants you to believe he was born in a log cabin he built himself!”
Bill Clinton: “Our philosophy of ‘we’re all in this together’ is far better than their ‘you’re on your own’.”
Clinton is talking now about the hatred against Obama and Democrats by the faction that now dominates the Republican Party: “What works in the real world is cooperation.”
Here is the headline. The criminal who made Obama’s 2008 Hope & Change Poster is headed for fucking jail.
Too damn funny isn’t it.
Me, for one. Aside from the fact that you’re outright lying about what was being boo’ed at.
Religion has no place in Politics. People who make their judgments on who they would elect on the basis of the particular candidates claims of piety or sectarian affiliation are not intelligent enough to know enough to vote. Their minds are too twisted up in fairy tales and myth to understand the realities of the world, and cannot see anything except through that murky lens that is so carefully manipulated by the men who claim to speak for “god”.
8. Roger Rabbit spews:
The fuck it is. Obama is the most polarizing President ever to run for re-election. Clinton & Obama feel government runs our lives. I don’t want to be “in it” with a bunch of lazy fucks, nor should I have to pay for others bad choices.
11. Deathfrogg spews:
That’s the point right there. Dummocrats are the party of Atheists. And they were certainly booing putting God in the Platform.
BOO’ing GOD?? Just when you don’t think the soul-less assholes could stoop any lower.
You bet the DUMMOCRATS will be labeled as BOO’ing God. Thanks for confirming it deathfrogg you fucking loser.
@5 @4–Who gives a shit.
You’ll get the answer to that question on Nov. 6.
It’s about holding Obama accountable for his pathetic record of higher unemployment,
Yes it is, although I disagree with your characterization of his employment record. For example, Mitt Romney says we should have let Detroit go under. But 1 million workers are still employed in that industry because Obama said no to that.
another $6 Trillion in debt and no fucking plan.
Liar. Obama has a plan. It’s called Simpson-Bowles. Ryan voted against it.
@13 I’ll make a simple prediction. If you guys don’t find something besides hate to run on, you’re going to lose.
I would. I boo ‘god’.
Republicans boo American soldiers, because of who they love.
Republicans boo sick people, because of how much money they have.
Republicans call intelligent, committed women ‘sluts’ because they’re afraid of the truth they speak.
Republicans have descended into horrific, vile parody. Nasty, angry, hateful. Shame on you all.
Say the truth, brother!
Arithmetic.
A more perfect UNION.
Bill Clinton was on FIRE!
There it is. There is all you need to know to choose.
I was so happy to hear Clinton sing this truth, and sing it loud – WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.
This, or…
Nasty, hateful, greedy, ‘I got mine’.
You people have something vital amputated from your souls.
Bill Clinton fucking nailed it. Clinton’s use of humor when he was attacking the Republican’s was perfect.
For more fun:
Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, Julian Castro, Sandra Fluke, Deval Patrick.
Nuns!
I’m so, SO proud to be a Democrat.
Sandra Fluke did really well.
“headed for fucking jail”
“The fuck it is”
“a bunch of lazy fucks”
“soul-less assholes”
“you fucking loser”
In some remote barn a Klown’s head has exploded again tonight.
God, I love it when that happens. That Bubba did it makes it all the more sweet.
Thanks for sharing your pain with us, Klown.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
“the party of Atheists”
On the other hand, perhaps it was Sister Simone Campbell who caused your head to explode.
I really do love it when your head explodes, Klown. You’re such an ugly, vile person, and I love seeing you get what’s coming to you.
No.
Yes!!!
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!
He really is. It’s quite repellent.
Ruh-roh
@11 “Religion has no place in Politics.”
I don’t necessarily agree with that. I think it depends on what the individual believes. But I do think the Germans who went into battle wearing belt buckles with the inscription “Gott Mitt Uns” had a misplaced conception of whose side God was on (certainly not Hitler’s); and I also think Republicans are mistaken about God being on their side. My personal belief is the Great Mother Rabbit Spirit wants Obama re-elected and therefore he will be.
The Big Dog raised taxes on the rich a measly 5 percent or so..
And the right wing tore their hair out, said it would tank the economy, made up shit about him 6 ways to Sunday and the rest is history.
Now Obama wants to let things go back to Bill Clinton’s day – a measly handful of points to shore up the financial ship of state (yes, its only part of the solution) and we hear nothing but bile and hatred and insanity from the right wing..
It truly sucks to be such people. They hate America! They care only about themselves.
@12 You weren’t the guy in the foxhole next to mine in Vietnam, were you? No, I didn’t think so.
@31
Morality belongs in politics.
Religion? Risky – too easy to descend into my way of worshiping skydaddy is better than yours, as we see with Republicans. Or, as you say, using “god is on my side”, which is the same thing.
Motivated by love and inclusion and recognizing that we’re all in this together – that’s OK with me.
@21 “You people have something vital amputated from your souls.”
It’s called a heart, but don’t worry, mine is extra large.
I’ve only watched this convention in snatches and I see plenty of religion on display.. Elizabeth Warren referred to Matthew 25 – the passage in the Bible the trolls seem to ignore. The right wing propaganda about the Dems being anti-religion is just more right wing bullshit.
I’m atheist but I practice live and let live.
@34 “Risky – too easy to descend into my way of worshiping skydaddy is better than yours”
That risk disappears if you understand your religion belongs to you, and only you, and you never lose sight of the fact the other person’s religion belongs to him in the same way yours belongs to you, and deserves the same respect you give your own. As for the Great Mother Rabbit Spirit, she doesn’t mind a bit that she’s teaching her ways to a congregation of one.
You mean like Bush’s optional wars? One of which was in a country nicknamed “the graveyard of empires.” Or Reagan’s borrow and spend policies? Maybe it’s Nixon’s price controls?
Or maybe your talking about how the working class had to bailout the banks and the fat cats in the S&L and Subprime mortgage crisis? Allowing people to take out a home loan without providing and proof of income sounds like a “bad choice” to me!
“You got to admit one thing. It takes some brass to attack a guy for what you did”
Bill Clinton
I’m posting this to verify that the poster of the three comments under my name below pudgie’s convention thread over at (u)SP is really me. You’ll probably hear some buzzing coming from there. Something about me really stirs those folks up. Maybe it’s my sparkling personality.
“They quadrupled the debt in the 12 years before mine, and doubled it in the 8 years after.”
speak the truth, Bill!
Say that next time some schmuck whines about the debt increasing.
“There they go again”
LMFAO!!
The Big Dog. It must drive wingnuts insane to realize that Clinton got blow jobs, they didn’t, and America loves Bubba and not them. No wonder the Klown’s head exploded.
@41
it would seem that over on (un)SP they still haven’t figured out that Clinton wasn’t impeached. Trying and doing are two different things…
Ya just gotta love the democracy in this country. Count em again and again until you get the outcome you want.
This takes the cake!

If Republican’s are the “job creators” how come the founder of Costco was at the Democratic convention?
We’ve got Costco on our side, you’re sunk.
@44 fyi Clinton was impeached but acquitted. “Impeachment” refers to the accusation approved by the House, not removal from office by the Senate.
@48
Well shit, at least he got a blow job out of the deal…
One of the spots that Clinton stepped out of his prepared speech (according to Rachel Maddow reporting among the MSNBC crew)… was when he was talking about Ryan’s Medicare attack:
“It takes some brass,” Clinton said, “to attack a guy for doing what you did”
I wondered if some of that comment was reflection on his own history. Back in the past, Speaker of the House Gingrich had been raising cane about Clinton w/Lewinsky & screaming to get him impeached — while Gingrich himself was busily boinking his own staff member, Calista.
If I remember correctly, Newt himself was still married to some other lady at the time.
Does anyone remember anything about Artur Davis’ speech at the RNC?
The one that was going to go KLABLAMOOOOO! on the racist ‘DUMMOCRAPTHS’?
?
No, me neither.
Just like the wingnuts predicted, Clinton really undermined Obama last night, with that unvetted speech, and his lingering animus over the 2008 Hillary-Obama battle.
heh.
Interesting comment over at Salon:
Interesting take on the two different convention experiences:
