I have a few brief comments, lol:
A Doozy of a Last Night At the Convention
What I heard tonight despite the last two years of contrary rhetoric was a deliberate attempt to claim ownership of the traditional Democrat message and it was amazing, amazing in an negative way. How many suckers bought it?
OMG,
Clint Eastwood a man who is reported to be pro gay marriage, pro-choice, believes in global warming, and is against the wars, is parading out in front of the audience so he can ad-lib an address talking to an invisible President in a chair who tells him to tell Romney to go "F" himself? LOL. He is a creative and talented genius for telling stories. Maybe he should stick to a script and stay outside the political arena.
When
Marco Rubio spoke of his parent working at KMart, I was reminded of the GOP vision to have us all working at KMart in minimalist jobs. For describing the wonderful opportunities the US represented for his family, I wonder how he reconciles that with GOP , the party he has aligned himself with, whose efforts are destroy those opportunities. Instead of a better day for everyone, the GOP strives hard to make it a better day for certain people while telling the rest, they should know their places. And in his entire speech he had nothing to say about Romney.
Romney: He gave a good speech in the beginning. What stood out was when he mentioned taking care of the poor, the sick, and the elderly, there was no applause in the hall. You could not ask for a clearer example of actions being stronger, and overshadowing words. As part of the rah-rah military gun-ho party, I am very surprised that there was no mention of our service people abroad, fighting, dieing, and coming home maimed for our country and there was no mention of the travail of Tropical Storm Isaac on the people of Louisiana.
He spoke of people loosing their $22.50 per hour job and having to go work at two $9 per hour jobs. This IS the GOP vision, aligned with corporatists and corporate welfare, a vision of the present and the future. For everyone to have plenty, you can't be giving the most well off people of society most of the benefits. Despite the plenty of the 1950's where it was proven that you can have high taxes on the wealthy, and low taxes on Middle/Lower working class, an economy can not only survive but thrive. Republicans keep touting the magic bullet of ultra low taxes, but when it has not worked, they want them to go lower. They complain that Democrats are irresponsible, but it was under a Republican President that this country had the first substantial deficits due to the willful polices and promotions of a Republican President, Ronald Reagan.
"When you need to get a really big job accomplished, you need an American." The highest level of bombastisity achieved to date at a National Political Convention. Yes we are much much better than the entire world, just stay away from any comparative statistics and have another Koolaid.
"Why should women have any less say?" Excuse me, you Mr. Romney are in the GOP, better known as the GOB (Good Ole Boys network) that convenes a conference on Capital Hill on women's health and reproductive issues and does not invite any women experts to speak, lol and whose party has been attacking women and women's issues over the last year.
His sons loved playing war, but they, nor Romney has ever participated in National Service.
Romney helped others through Church and Family while his evil alter ego cavorted at Bain Capital. Just read about KB Toys in this
Rolling Stone Article: Greed and Debt: The True Story of Mitt Romney and Bain Capital.
And this is where we get to the hypocrisy at the heart of Mitt Romney. Everyone knows that he is fantastically rich, having scored great success, the legend goes, as a "turnaround specialist," a shrewd financial operator who revived moribund companies as a high-priced consultant for a storied Wall Street private equity firm. But what most voters don't know is the way Mitt Romney actually made his fortune: by borrowing vast sums of money that other people were forced to pay back. This is the plain, stark reality that has somehow eluded America's top political journalists for two consecutive presidential campaigns: Mitt Romney is one of the greatest and most irresponsible debt creators of all time. In the past few decades, in fact, Romney has piled more debt onto more unsuspecting companies, written more gigantic checks that other people have to cover, than perhaps all but a handful of people on planet Earth.
"We celebrate success, not criticize it." But for Romney's definition of success, isn't it fair that we as a society consider the number of people helped vs harmed by Mr. Romney's past successes? Is "I made myself and my partners filthy rich" the only standard we hold for success?
When he spoke of the excitement we had when Obama was elected and inferred how disappointed we should be today, he completely overlooked his parties roll and responsibility in the scheming, foot dragging, and blocking, as
Mitch McConnell has admitted, (the GOP) tried their damnedest to make Obama a failure, even when he suggested ideas that Republican's normally embrace? I imagined GOP delegates giving each other high fives on a great job.
And after all the lovey-dovey good family vibes Romney projected he makes a joke about Obama's commitment global warming during the hottest year in recorded history, then turns militaristic, jabbing Russia in the eye and complaining that after being elected, Obama had the nerve to "talk" to the Iranians?? Yes, because this is what the crowd always laps up in conservative thinking… WAR is always better than Diplomacy.
And regarding Iran and the "centrifuges that keep on spinning", we can blame the Bush Administration, specifically The DICK of blowing a CIA operative's cover working specifically on Iran's nuclear plans and capabilities, due to policy/political difference Plame's husband had with the Administration.
Raw Story: Outed CIA officer was working on Iran, intelligence sources say.
Wiki:
Valerie Plame Affair.
The unmasking of covert CIA officer Valerie Plame Wilson by White House officials in 2003 caused significant damage to U.S. national security and its ability to counter nuclear proliferation abroad, RAW STORY has learned.
According to current and former intelligence officials, Plame Wilson, who worked on the clandestine side of the CIA in the Directorate of Operations as a non-official cover (NOC) officer, was part of an operation tracking distribution and acquisition of weapons of mass destruction technology to and from Iran.
And remember, under Republican morals, no one went to jail. Of course the Democrats were neutered as usual...
Thanks for listening!
