GlitterOutlaw: lol whole RNC itself was a flop. hell half the repbs didnt even believe the shit they were doing anymore.

Anyway with DNC's Bill clintons speech they never had a chance of winning.
There's 8 weeks or so left for one side or the other to fuck it up, it's pretty obvious Romney has an uphill and nearly impossible battle as things stand, but one good gaffe from the (D) camp could make things a lot less certain for them.

Thanks for sharing the view.

And seriously, best of luck having this made legal throughout the nation. There's no reason why your lifetime commitment should be treated any different than mine, when it comes to how we're treated by a government to which we both pay taxes. The nation is slowly getting there, and DoMA is just a temporary roadblock. Might be here a long time but it will be overturned one day.

Fanatiik: Why does every topic of discussion always boil down to race... is there any hope that we can ever get by that?
Maybe if one day we aren't human beings anymore. Or if we discover aliens, which can then be the "others." Like in Star Trek!

I very much agree, and thank you. :) I hope I am alive to see the day. I was once in love with someone from another country after he came over to the USA for an amount of time and he was very much in love with me, but he and I ultimately ended our relationship because of DOMA and especially its section 3. He has since moved on, got with some guy who is local for him, someone he doesn't have to come out here every so often to see (the day I found that out was painful as all hell). I hope that a day comes soon that others are much luckier than he and I were.

xa_chan: Oh come on! Criticizing Obama is normal and even very healthy, but spreading false information?? Are we still at the level of : Obama is rumored to be from Kenya and to be a Muslim? Seriously? Enough with the lies!
I like how you dropped the rest of the quote. It's like watching FoxNews.

I watched his speech and dont have much to say. I do know however that Im the only one who's gonna get screwed in the month of November.

You see Im an independent. I vote for both democratic and republican, though sway a little closer to democrat. However, my whole father's side of the family is crazy. My grandfather will verbally attack you if he finds your voting liberal in any way. Its almost to the point where he is attacking you for having a somewhat different belief than him. Its friggin nuts.
My grandmother is even worse as she is racist beyond belief and will start screaming if someone says they're voting obama.

Im probably not even going to vote this november as this is the craziness that the election's caused.

Just out of curiosity: I bet your family comes from the center of the United States? Surely not one of the coasts. :)

Well, thank you, I generally try to adapt the level of my posts to my "opponents". ^_^

No, I live in New Jersey and everyone on my father's side of the family think George W. Bush was the best president in history and that Barack Obama's birth certificate was photoshopped.

StingingVelvet: Also hecklers? Never heard hecklers at a convention speech before.
As a public figure standing up in front of a crowd and performing what essentially amounts to a comedy routine where he speaks in outlandish exaggerations while being his own straight man, hecklers make perfect sense. Now, all we have to do is get them into all other other conventions and public speaking events for every political candidate, regardless of party or position.

Let's see how "flexible" and "adaptable" these people really are.

I fully support this. :D

We've gotten so far from the proud American tradition of treating public speeches as free entertainment - it's time to take back our right to entertaining, healthily-vegetable-filled public discourse! ;) </humor>

On a more serious note, I think that treating political speeches as free-for-alls was probably part of why people used to be more invested in politics. I would love to see a modern politician - any politician - who could make a coherent point without a teleprompter.

HGiles: teleprompter.
You mean the one Obama uses? XD

If you watch his speech, he's looking at the crowd, making sure his eyes meet everyone evenly. He never looks in one direction for very long, meaning if he had teleprompter help he would be looking at several of them which obviously he wasn't.

Where is this teleprompter you speak of?

StingingVelvet: He basically said he would go to war with Iran,
That's like saying we went to ware with Russia during the cold war. Negative comments about our enemies supplemented by the idea we should never give in to them does not advocate war. Iran will likely just turn into another North Korea and be left ignored and secluded.
Also free market crap
Capitalism is crap? Socialist drivel isn't I guess?

"YOU DIDN'T BUILD THAT! YOU JUST WROTE THE BLUEPRINT FOR IT!" XD

As far as inheriting property, therein lies the problem (spoiled little brats), but as far as building a business from scratch it is brutal and time consuming. Businessmen deserve what they have created.

FAITH FAITH FAITH
*meanwhile liberals are still championing the idea that islam is a "religion of peace" and FREEDOM OF RELIGION FREEEDOM OF RELIGION EQUALITY EQUALITY EQUALITY BIGOTRY BIGOTRY BIGOTRY RESPECT OTHER PEOPLES RELGIGIONS NO MATTER HOW RIDICULOUS'ER SUICIDAL CUS'A FREE SPEECH AND SUCH!*
and of course down with the lezbians and gays.
Lol, where? What can only be implied from his speech is :down with the liberals". Are you saying all liberals are gay? I'm inclined to agree with you XD
It seems liberals don't mind sucking Obama's cock, why would they not mind sucking anyone elses?
