More bombastic slogans... echos of the Titanic sinking.

Simple as...

Spending $10 Billion a month on a war that served no national interest...

And made us weak by stretching our military and the equipment and our men and their families to the breaking point...

And made Iran 4 times stronger in the region since they don't have their enemy Iraq to worry about...

And resulted in Hezbollah starting a war with Israel...

And emboldened and justified Putin's annexation of parts of Georgia...

AND LEFT AL QAEDA AND THE TALLIBAN TO REBUILD IN PAKISTAN…

And did nothing to help educate our children, fix the bridges, or change to a renewable energy economy!

Seems All media even here is bought and paid for by obama and his friends.

What is McCain/Palin running on to improve this country?

I have no idea what the agenda is except for "drill, drill, drill".

Diane Sawyer & Charlie Gibson will be going on air soon with "Breaking News!!!" from Lindsay Lohan who will give us all "the scoop" on Sarah Palin. What a joke ABC NEWS has become, the laughingstock of all the networks, even lower than Katie Couric now. Put on your serious look now, Charlie, and Diane, pout a little more, gawd....

The very facts of these two candidates backgrounds eviscerates the Obama candidacy. Lieberman is correct, I think and hope that Obama has a bright future, but his time for president is not now.

Yeah, simple is the right word to use.
John McCain may have endured the hardship of being a POW in Vietnam. We appreciate his courage and his patriotism. Does it means that because someone is a POW, you are automatically qualified to be president? Is that all you need? I did not hear anything about what McCain would do for the ill shaped economy and other pressing issues we are now facing. All I hear over and over and over is “McCain was a POW.” I did not hear about any agenda. I found myself flipping through the channels, looking for something interesting to watch. By the way who is Sarah Palin? The only thing I seem to know about her is that she has five children. WOW, that’s a lot of diapers to change, including McCain’s.

Are the ABC commentators going to keep interrupting all the prime time speeches?
I was so unimpressed to get snippets of the speeches and all commentary.

Last week, I watched the DNC on ABC and got to hear entire speeches.

Clifton I don't think you guys are sinking....you're just drifting aimlessly.

Good luck with that.

John's Conscience,

Nice effort with that list of items. But I am wondering, since so many Democrats voted for the war, and so many Democrats voted for Iraq regime change in 1998, what would Al Gore have done had he been elected?
I am thinking the same thing...apart from one difference. He might have retreated instead of winning.
But in all honesty, ask yourself, do you really believe he would have spent money on bridges? Ummm...no.
How about the Taliban? Nope, he let 'em build up while "Dubya" was a gov.
And how would he have stopped Iran again?
How about Putin? Think Putin only pulled these stunts because he just now learned what "aggression" is?
I certainly think things could have been done differently...that is the beauty of hindsight. I guess I am wondering what exactly you think someone else would have done. Seems to me, an awful lot of people were for doing something about Iraq as far back as 1998.

nancy, I have no idea what the dem agenda is except

Tax & spend, tax & spend, tax & spend.

If Al Gore had won, we would have had 5 September 11ths, by 2003.

Thank GOD he didn't win.

Gerald, no, being a POW doesn't automatically qualify you, but the way he wouldn't be released until his fellow troops were also speaks VOLUMES about his character and how he can be trusted.

Something sorely lacking in DC. And why would anyone trust Obama who came out of the most corrupt political system in the nation - Chicago?

You can't. Period. End of story.

Re: Last week, I watched the DNC on ABC and got to hear entire speeches.

I watched it on Fox..usually, I watch it on ABC but when they began to interrupt the speeches, I changed the channel. The speakers were great!

I smell defeat!!!

Fred Thompson said it well, "WE WILL LOSE, BUT NOT WITHOUT A FIGHT...

Bravo Repugs, nothing new, more of the same boring rhetoric..

I put my son to sleep with Lapdogs Liebermans speech..

:O)

Laura Bush and McCain have two things in common, they can't use a teleprompter.

WHO KNEW!!

Who was the bald commentator during the convention tonight that was so obviously biased towards the Democrats? After every uplifting and spirited speech was interrupted, he would predictably add his cold water splash of negativity. While America cheered, he yawned. Great addition to the ABC convention team? - No! Where's the objectivity ABC? We listened to you glow over Obama for a week, now give us our due or we will all change the channel. Terrible coverage.

Sarah Palin another Queen in an empty skirt..

Boring!!

Why is it that the political pundits in the MSM almost always praise each moment of the convention? Does anyone truly think that Joe Lieberman's speech brought McCain votes? At least I still remember some lines from the DNC.(Twin Cities line from Hillary, "enough" and 10% change line from Obama)

Hmmmmm . . . . change we can believe in? What about that sign? Does that mean what I'll have in my pockets?

Right!

Rob,

The Democrats who gave Bush what he wanted will have to answer for themselves, but there would have been no invasion or occupation of Iraq had Gore been sworn in as president.

Any Democratic president would have taken down the Taliban, but would have done it with the U.S. military rather than count on tribal leaders who were of course interested in taking power, but to whom capturing Bin Laden was of little importance.

There is such a thing as accountability. George W Bush was and is the representative of the Republican party. The damage he has done to our military, our standing with our allies (you know, the U.S. flag waving ones in Germany that McCain takes every opportunity to belittle), and our economy is their doing also as they vouched for campaigned for him.

Bush is their standard bearer, and if their is any such thing as accountability, this party needs to pay a price in political power. Otherwise the democracy looses the advantage we have over Castro's Cuba: The ability to self-correct.

Separately, John McCain has his own issues to answer for:

o His senseless don't talk with your enemies policy;
o His desire to divert part of the money currently paying for Social Security checks to young people;
o His idea that health insurance; companies should be regulated by a friendly state of their own choice;
o His support of the fillibuster of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act;
o The hot headed response he has displayed on many occasions including Russia's invasion of Georgia;
o His gambling addict tendencies as demonstrated in his VP pick;
o His deafness to the stagnent wages of the middle class -- at the same time frame that the wealthiest Americans have basically doubled their wealth;
o The lies he has told (re Obama visiting wounded troops, re Obama's energy policy, re Obama's tax cuts for Americans making less than $150K)
o His stunning reversals on every issue he ever disagreed with the Republican orthodoxy;
o His heartlessness when it comes to everyone in America having health insurance so that they can actually get treatment if they were, for example, to get melanoma;

As I was saying, John McCain's own issues should be enough to reject him in November.

Man !! Joe Lieberman sent it in way too deep tonight, hope he at least gives them a complimentary reach-around to quell some of the soreness . . . poor slobs ! And Thompson? He gave an oratorical Bukkake-fest worthy of shutting even Curious George's silver-tongued mouth for a day or two until he can drum up some more pied-piper, messianic backwash that you blind mice can gulp down with wide-open slack jaws.

Don't squirm too much tonite. Ambien works! Nite nite . . . . and the cow jumped over the moon!!
MMMmmooooooooooo

What does it tell us when:
1) a foreign publication has devoted a series of reports investigating the authenticity of Obama's birth certificate, his Indonesian citizenship, his trip to Pakistan using an Indonesian passport when he was 20 years old, all raising questions about his eligibility to be president;
2)records of his Muslim religion that contradicts his assertion that he has never been a Muslim, (www.israelinsider.com)
3) but the American MSM has not reported about it at all;
4) instead we've been bombarded with news about the pregnancy of Palin's teenage daughter, a family matter.
5) the MSM has not reported about Obama's campaign shutting down a radio station to prevent Stanley Kurtz, a National Review reporter, to talk about his findings of the Chicago Annenberg documents?
If it is the MSM's purpose to cover up any negative news about Obama, it's backfiring because by doing this, these rumors will not go away. If there is nothing to hide, it is the MSM's media to disprove it with their own investigation.

Very interesting elections this year.
We have a black nominee for the
democrats and a old white nominee for the republicans.....
Also we have a white VP with 35 years
in the U.S senate democrat and a female
governor from Alaska republican VP very attractive.....
I'm a Hillary supporter voting republican this year..

Tomorrow night will be the first night I watch either convention. I can't wait to hear Palin. My gut feeling is telling me that her life story is much more real than Obama's. She seems to be an accidental politician, whereas Obama is a conniving one.
