Mitt Romney is talking right now... LOL

"Radical Militant Islam is EVIL and John McCain will DEFEAT IT!"

He also said...

"It's time for the Party of Big Ideas, not for the Party of Big Brother"

What a joke!

Huckabee said that Sarah Palin won more votes in Wasilla running for mayor, then Biden did running for president.

It was pointed out later by the anchor that he was incorrect. Joe Biden won more votes in California alone then Sarah Palin could have won in 2 elections in Wasilla.

Alright... Palin has spoken... She is wearing an Israeli flag lapel pin, as is her husband and her daughters baby daddy,instead of American ones. (sorry repubs, right back at ya)

Her contribution?

She is trying to win the families with children whom have disabilities.

"I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a "community organizer", except that you have actual responsibilities."

"Here's how I look at the choice Americans face in this election. In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change."

"Well I'm not a member of the permanent political establishment, and I learned quickly that if your not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some of the media find a candidate unqualified for that reason alone, but I'm not going to Washington to seek their good opinion, I'm going to Washington to serve the good people of this country."

She just blasted Obama for basically doing nothing, other then write 2 memoirs.

She made fun of Obama for never using the word victory when talking about the war

Made fun of his columns at the DNC speech.

What exactly is our opponents plan? What does he seek to accomplish after he is done turning the waters and healing the planet? The answer is, to make government bigger, take more of your money, give you more orders from Washington, and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world.

She made up a whole bunch of lies after that. oh god this is pathetic.

"Government is to big, he wants to grow it
Congress spends too much money, he promises more.
Taxes are too high and he wants to raise them."

She went on a rant of lies of all the taxes Obama wants to raise after that.

I am so sick of watching her, I am done posting it. If she said anything else catch it on cnn. /sigh for America

Hmmm, if the Republicans can call it demeaning to women to question Palin's resume as a Mayor in a town where the mayor job is merely a figurehead, can the Democrats call Romney's comments about Big Brother racist? After all, Obama is tall and a Brother. :p

lol nice!

WOW...wearing an Israeli flag. Isn't that kind of insulting to Arab countries? I thought this was an American election. Do we really need to take any more shots at the middle east?

I can't believe this shit... They lie about most of Obama's positions and then attack the very lies they made up. I swear this country is too far gone if McCain wins this one.

I might move to Iran... OMG!

Don't do it Jedd, the Lattes there are terrible.

Was a pretty Blah speech really. she delivered it well but it was pretty obvious it was'nt her speech for the most part. her hockey mom joke was kinda funny.

Best moment of the night was the shot of Willow?(the youngest girl) licking her hand and smoothing her brothers hair. you cannot script that kind of adorable.

"Mitt Romney's attack on a candidate's wife is as pathetic as his failed presidential campaign."

-Obama Campaign

Romney is a very pathetic person, but I'd say his campaign wasn't too bad considering he got in 2ndish?

You can't script that, yet amazingly every network's camera coverage caught that moment? Think about that for a second.

Wonderful speech. She did a great job. Great jabs that the farce that is Obamessiah. She is going to be splendid in the Whitehouse.

Igloo?

Igloo?

OMG Taleran you are so sexist, you must be in the angry liberal media dont you realize john mccain was a pow and that obama was a community organizer who will raise your taxes and give the money to muslims instead of our military so they won't be able to protect our freedoms like rudi giulianni did on 9/11 this woman is a hockey mom with a pregnant teenage daughter who is going to marry her boyfriend who cares so much about her that he flew all the way from alaska to help raise his child whos grandmother is going to be the vice president unless people like you ask sexist questions like things about economic and foreign policy when will you realize that this election is about abortion?

Whoa, I just found a story that says John McCain was also a POW. Did anyone else hear about this? I'm voting for him now, why didn't he mention this earlier in the campaign?

I can't believe this shit... They lie about most of Obama's positions and then attack the very lies they made up. I swear this country is too far gone if McCain wins this one.

I might move to Iran... OMG!

Hmmm might have to change my vote from Obama to McCain now!

Does this mean I get to shoot him?

just kidding .... mostly :p

Lock and load!

Just Kidding.....not at all :devil

Yeah cuz it's worth shooting someone because you disagree with them often on a message board.

Wonderful speech. She did a great job. Great jabs that the farce that is Obamessiah. She is going to be splendid in the Whitehouse.

there was some nice jabs i will admit...but compared to the knockout blows Obama was dealing...

Judges card still goes to Obama.

Osi, in all seriousness what was your opinion of the DNc speech if you even listened. Palin spoke well i will give her that.

Obama though is a true oratator...his big big advantage there.

Oh I watched it. The speech delivery was brilliant. Obama is in deed a true orator. Not presidential, but a true orator. His speech was interchangeable with any he has given in the last 2 years. High on pomp and low on anything new.

Lies... He spoke of over 29 policy points, palin didn't even break 1, and McCain? Well pow's don't need to talk about policies.

got to disagree with ya Osi, first time he really went into this much depth on things.

When it comes to speaking, the difference between Obama and McCain/Palin is basically the first bit of this TED talk:

One-buttock speaking, I guess.

I'm a pitbull wearing lipstick... Oh give me a break.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH<inhale>HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Palin did a nice job of introducing herself. I might have fallen asleep though, because I missed any serious discussion of health care, job creation, spurring the economy, etc. I did not miss the anticipated, and oh so tiring, nod to McCain being a PoW. I am so sick of that being put out there as if it qualifies someone to be President. That speech last night introduced her to those who had no clue who she was (including McCain and his staff, I suppose), but it did little else.

Her speech was about as good as you can get when the substance of the speech is nothing but terrible jokes, sarcasm, disproved talking points, and snide insults.

I didn't know if it was possible for republicans' behavior to be even more crass and disgusting then it has been the past 20 years, but they sure are trying.

http://www.boston.com/news/politics/politicalintelligence/2008/09/the_death_of_a.html
ST. PAUL -- One of the most enduring taboos in American politics, the airing of graphic images from the September 11 attacks in a partisan context, died today. It was nearly seven years old.

The informal prohibition, which had been occasionally threatened by political ads in recent years, was pronounced dead at approximately 7:40 CST, when a video aired before delegates at the Republican National Convention included slow-motion footage of a plane striking the World Trade Center, the towers' subsequent collapse, and smoke emerging from the Pentagon.

It doesn't matter if you were a war hero 40 years ago, supporting this kind of thing means you are trash.

Edit: Oh, and the video got a standing ovation.

Thank you Palin and Rudy for the ammunition...


(CNN) -- The Republicans have made it clear where their focus is this week with their convention slogan, "Country First."
With the abundance of flags, chants of "U.S.A., U.S.A." and tributes to those in the military, they have been laying it on thick.

Sen. John McCain has often talked about the need for Americans to dedicate themselves to service, namely military, and he is on the money.

But a line of attack that was used consistently last night by former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani (http://topics.cnn.com/topics/Rudolph_Giuliani), and later by Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, tried to call into question whether community organizers put their country first.
Palin focused on the issue, mainly to criticize the Obama campaign for offering up his community organizing work opposite her experience as mayor.

But when you examine Giuliani's dismissive tone -- and the subsequent laughter by the Republicans in the XCel Energy Center -- regarding the community organizer jabs, the Democrats could have an opening.
After praising Palin's speech, I said as much, and that they can expect the Obama-Biden camp to seize on that point. This morning, I read an e-mail from Obama campaign manager David Plouffe, who incorporated the community organizer argument into a fundraising appeal.

Republican operatives I talked to said the lines were brilliant and that community organizers don't play to the GOP's strength.
I disagree. And so do the many folks who have sent me angry e-mails. They include white Republicans, black Democrats, people from Small Town, U.S.A., and Big City, America.

At a time when Americans are losing their homes to foreclosure, folks are trying to get by after layoffs, people are struggling with lack of healthcare, and we're facing pressing environmental issues, it's ludicrous to slam the little man and woman who isn't asking the government for handouts, but is doing what they can to make their neighborhood and city better.

I think of my parents. As a child growing up in the Clinton Park neighborhood in Houston, Texas, my parents were just regular folks trying to raise their five children (sounds like Gov. Sarah Palin (http://topics.cnn.com/topics/Sarah_Palin)). They were always present at our local elementary school (sounds like Gov. Sarah Palin) and were heavily involved in our church.

But our neighborhood was dying. Drugs were ravaging it. Older homeowners were dying and their children didn't want to live there, so they began renting to people who really didn't care. We saw abandoned homes, weeded lots, no sidewalks, a park falling into disrepair, and a senior citizen center shuttered.
So they joined several others neighbors and decided to form a civic club. Others called them crazy for trying to advance their ideas, but they didn't give up.

They enlisted their children in passing out flyers and putting up signs, notifying folks of the monthly meetings. A few folks showed up, but they kept going.
And going. And going. And going.

After months, and then years, we began to see progress: Stepped up police patrols and crack houses raided by the Houston police, DEA and FBI. Abandoned houses torn down. Weeded lots cut. More heavy trash pickup days. New streetlights. New sidewalks. New sewer pipes. A refurbished park.

Bottom line, these average, low- to middle-income people didn't have political power. They focused on people power. They organized a community to take action.[/URL]
So when Rudy Giuliani and Palin mock community organizers, they don't just toss a barb at Sen. [URL="http://topics.cnn.com/topics/Barack_Obama"]Barack Obama (http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-76992), they demean Reginald and Emelda Martin. They degrade the women who fought for their rights. They disrespect the labor activists and immigrant worker activists like Cesar Chavez.

They dismiss those in the civil rights movement -- folks from small town America who were sick and tired of being sick and tired. They thumb their noses at the Nelson Mandelas of the world who want a better life for their children.
It would have been perfectly fine for Giuliani and Palin to say that Obama's community organizing days didn't amount to enough experience to be president.
But when you openly laugh and mock those hard-working Americans who are in the trenches every day, then you really don't care about "Country First" or service.

Will this be a major deal or a ripple? Likely the latter. But the one thing I know about community organizers is that they know how to organize communities. And if the McCain-Palin ticket wants to win, they best not slap those folks they need for voter registration drives and systems to get folks to the polls.
Community organizers are always told they can't do something or are dismissed as meaningless.
Yet they often have the last laugh.

Rudy Giuliani, Sarah Palin and John McCain might want to remember that.

Yeah, Obama has gotten 10 million in donations in the past 24 hours thanks in large part to that.
