So far pretty well. Much higher ratings and Michelle obama's speech was explosive. Even the fox news twerps begrudgingly admitted it was the best first lady speech they'd ever seen.
And Julien Castro was amazing.
Laura Ingram live tweeted her own pants-shitting. It was pathetic.
The messages were loud and clear. Even Matt Barber was reduced to Name calling as he whined about "fast women and slow speeches." except when Michelle finished, she got 28,000 tweets. Mitt only got 14,000 for his.
Take from that what you will.0 -

And apparently everything that was said was the truth, right?The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.

Michelle Obama is a natural on that stage. She did great. However, just like Ann Romney's speech, who gives a shit? Seriously, this isn't a popularity contest. It's not about who is the nicer guy. Those speeches frustrate the hell out of me. And it frustrates me more that most of America seems to give a shit about them.
We are suppose to like and trust Obama more because his car had a hole in the door? really? Great, I love a president that drives an unsafe car. Go get a job and buy a nice car asshole.
We are suppose to like Mitt because he's a good father? Really? Every man (that has kids) should be a good father and be involved in people's lives.

An election IS a popularity contest. And I have a job. A very good one. Phenomenal, in fact.
But I still think there should be a floor below which we will not let the least of us sink below.
If that makes me a socialist... Well, then I'll proudly wear that badge.0 -

What I noticed was that there weren't a lot of stories told to make anyone look bad... Nothing like Paul Ryan's pearl necklace of misleading crap. But a lot of visions about how we can be a great country if we want it enough.
No politics of division... No "we stand for real marriage which means we'll attack yours" or "if you're poor, you just don't work hard enough."
"Being asked to pay your fair share isn't class warfare, it's patriotism" -Cory Booker was one that struck me.
This got me too..
"When it comes to getting the middle class back to work, Mitt Romney says, "No." When it comes to respecting women's rights, Mitt Romney says, "No." When it comes to letting people marry whomever they love, Mitt Romney says, "No." When it comes to expanding access to good health care, Mitt Romney says, "No." - Julian Castro0 -
I'm actually still surprised that people here have bought into this nonsense at the conventions.
I'm still waiting to hear something that matters.hippiemom = goodness0 -

Being asked to pay what someone else says is your "fair share" is class warfare. And it's a good strategy because there are more people taking from gov't than making that much $.hippiemom = goodness0 -

Then tell us... What is a "fair share?"
Why should I pay less in taxes than my gardener? Or my assistant?
Why should I pay less than you?0 -

You should pay the same % on income.
Anyhow, don't get me wrong, I was this pissed off about the RNC as well, but I didn't watch most of it.hippiemom = goodness0 -

The funny part of that line was the delivery... he basically said "Mitt Romney said 'yes', but then said 'no'". Sorta framed it like the John Kerry "voted for it then voted against it" flip flop.
I didn't watch many of the early speeches, but I don't know why the Democrats don't really hon in on Romney's flip flops more. He's a completely different candidate than he was when the Gov of MA.My whole life
was like a picture
of a sunny day

I've always said that if your own message is strong enough you don't need to waste much time tearing the other side down.
The GNC was a bunch of angry, defiant white people angry that their place at the top of the heap has eroded. They took a lot of pot shots at the president but didn't say much of what they believe. They don't have the guts to say "we are against gay marriage and gay rights" but use a lot of code like "we have a real marriage" and "protecting marriage."
The DNC comes off as a more positive and hopeful message that doesn't require too much hammering the other side. Some... But it wasn't the centerpiece like the RNC was.0 -

I think that is just because the Dem is the incumbent.hippiemom = goodness0 -
She was great last night. A fantastic first lady.0

Partially. Although I've always found when your message is a positive and inclusive one, you're going to attract more people to your cause.
I don't see how the RNC expected to bring in anyone with their "if you're not a privileged white person, you should have tried harder" message.0
