What I learned from the DNC speeches last night...

[Survivalcookie]

What I gathered from watching Michelle last night is that she will use the military to try and touch the hearts of Americans...but supports them going to war with nothing but a few bullets to save money for green energy failures.

 

[Expat]

I learned from the coverage this morning that in spite of the stories I have been seeing in the media, about the media is unhappy with Obama, they still love him and are still on board for his reelection. They also think that Michelle may be the greatest woman ever.

U.S. Debt Now $136,260 Per Household—Up 50% Under Obama

Obama is destroying the republic and enslaving us to our creditors.

Debt = Slavery.

Too bad Romney is just like him.

http://youtu.be/IWDJEc92d38

Too bad Paul Ryan voted for the TARP, Bailouts and Stimulus bills that Obama signed making our debt go up by 50%. Too bad Romney supported all of them too.

Too bad this election is only about choosing which lying socialist slave master we put in charge of under-minding the US Constitution. Obama or Romney?

Fact Check by USA Today

USA TODAY

Is the Lame Stream Media finally wising up?

 

[rambone]

Did they keep talking about getting into new wars? That kind of talk was getting equally hard for me to stomach.

 

[findingZzero]

You sir, apparently know NOTHING about what I look like or believe in.

I genuinely hope you enjoy the kool aid...when they are pouring a flavor YOU don't like down YOUR throat.

Hardly ever see Democrats or Hoosiers wearing ties......
Which Kool-Aid are you talking about?
The Democrat, Republican, or Libertarian?

OPEN YOUR EYES. Lots of us wear them.

In fact the Democratic convention is the extreme convention with extreme/unpopular/out of touch positions.

Their PLATFORM clearly illustrates:

• Publicly paid abortions (opposed by 80+% of Americans)
• Legalizing 'partial birth' abortions (opposed by 85+% of Americans)
• Eliminates language that shows the terrorist group Hamas is, in fact a terrorist group
• Removing support for Israel as an ally (Israel supported by 68+% of Americans)
• No mention of balancing the budget (balanced budget supported by 80+% of Americans)
• Minimal mention of jobs/unemployment (polls show this is the #1 issue with Americans)
• Call for a new Assault Weapons/Semi-Auto Ban and restrictions on gun sales, trades, etc. (polls show majority of Americans oppose this)

Statistics are like whores, play with them long enough and they'll do anything for you.

Squeeze your eyes closed hard enough, stuff your fingers in your ears long enough, and you'll be able to believe anything. Facts? Bush-wa (as my old cracker granddaddy used to say); EMOTION is where it's at. Right? (Of course, right!)

 

[dom1104]

Well I am not getting into the tie conversation.

But... Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama... you are one hottie arent you?

First lady Michelle Obama calls President Barack Obama 'a man we can trust'

 

[John Galt]

A party that runs on guilt, fear, lies and deceit eventually has nothing left to run on due to the consequences of their policies, so they turn to outright lies and propoganda. The concerning part is that they have a complicit media helping to spread this deceit. Detroit, Chicago, California, Illinois, Greece, Spain, etc. - all poster children of government "benevolence" and "investment". To have so much proof throughout history of ultimate misery and failure, and recent proof at that, and to continue down this path of selling the same tyranny borders on criminal.
God Help America!

 

[henktermaat]

Democrats look more like you and me.
Both parties distort the truth.
Republicans do it more.

Speak for yourself. Democrats are the very antithesis of me.

So are you saying that unemployment is not over 8%?

Are you saying that 50% of the college graduates choose to take minimum wage and other low pay jobs?

Are you saying that gas prices have not doubled?

Do you have any evidence to disprove that food prices have grown at 10% per year for the past 3+ years?

Are you suggesting that 23 million Americans have not lost jobs?

Can you show that UNDERemployment is not over 15%?​

These are not some "statistics" but rather they are simple facts. Why don't you want to discuss facts?

What is so hard to understand? These "facts" OBVIOUSLY can't be true because the Obama Administration says they aren't. Who are you going to believe, your lying eyes, or Pres. O?

Actually he doesn't say they are not true. He simply avoids talking about them because he knows they are true and knows if he admits his failure then he won't have a chance of getting elected. So he avoids them and confuses people by diverting attention to other issues where he has an emotional appeal.

Well he is the one who needs to learn the facts. Clearly he doesn't present any. In fact he has not made an intelligent post in this thread yet. Rather he does what most Democrats do, they talk in platitudes and avoid specifics. They bring up emotional stories and ignore factual information. They parse statements to manipulate them and 'fit' them into their agenda.

Having a real conversation makes perfect sense, its something that I hope to have him try.

And I'll raise yer,
80% of all statistics quoted to prove a point are made up on the spot (including this one).
80% of Americans support balancing the budget, but only 2% are willing to give up anything to accomplish it.
77% of Americans believe birth control shouldnt be part of the national political debate.
75% of Americans believe abortion should be legal in cases of rape or incest.
54% of American adults say gay marriage is morally acceptable.

99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name​

I was unnerved by a statistic that said 1 in a 1000 on board a plane will carry a bomb. The odds of having 2 people on the same plane carrying a bomb are 1 in 100,000,000. I now bring a bomb when I fly.
The Republican convention ran with 2 ideas based on distortions (Dems do the same). "You didn't build that.." and, Obama did away with 'the work requirement for Welfare.'​

Social issues are a distraction from what's really going on. You guys fight over abortion while I slip another dollar from your already slim wallet.

Idealogues are boring. To quote a poster on this forum. "The Left can do no right and the Right can do no wro​

ng."*

* Wait! That was me....

!00% of my quotes are from me (unless I forgot where I heard them..)
Anyway, me and Wuss are going for a 4 mile walk in the park. You guys tawk (yes, tawk) amongst yerselves.....​

Great post. Full of NOTHING.

As I said, you won't address the actual issues. Why not? Are you afraid of the facts?
