Wasn't Hillary supposed to release her delegates during her speech?
What's up with that?
I thought Hillary accomplished exactly what Hillary wanted to. To wit: Wrong choice, times two you idiots!
I can't wait to see what the Big Mouth has to say tonight...since B. Hussein apparently caved and let Bill Clinton have his way.

... of the dreaded "surprisingly good" economic news:
U.S. July durable goods orders rise surprising 1.3%
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Orders for U.S.-made durable goods surged in July, rising 1.3% on strong transportation equipment demand, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch were looking for a gain in orders of 0.2%. Excluding transportation goods, orders rose 0.7%. New orders for durable goods in June were revised to a gain of 1.3% from a prior estimate of 0.8%. For July, shipments of manufactured goods rose 2.5%, following a gain of 0.9% in the prior month. Both inventories and unfilled orders in July rose 0.8%.
I can't believe we will hear about it from any other msm source! Let's just hope Senator McCain remembers to include it - not once, but several times - during the week in St. Paul!
I liked the "submerged hate" comment best of Dowd's column! Truer words were never spoken!!
It's been a hoot watching the DNC! I wonder what fun is in store for us tonight with Bubba, followed by Mr. On&On&On???? And tomorrow night at the Acropolis should really be something to behold ;-)
VOTE CONSERVATIVES IN EVERY OFFICE, LOCAL, STATE & FEDERAL!!!!!
From the radio industry website AllAccess.com (registration required) on their "Net News" page:
BARACK OBAMA, THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE and "Car Wash Babes"? CLICKZ.COM reports they may not seem a likely grouping, but YESTERDAY, ads paid for by the DNC and the ILLINOIS Senator's presidential campaign showed up on an array of local CLEAR CHANNEL rock radio station Web sites featuring content some would consider inappropriate for a radio station, much less a presidential campaign.
MACON, GEORGIA's Q106.FM and HARRISONBURG, VIRGINIA'S 98ROCKME.COM are among several CLEAR CHANNEL station sites that, as of YESTERDAY afternoon, were running the new ads.
At least a portion of the ads were placed by local media firm CENTRO, which has scored upwards of $100,000 from the OBAMA campaign this year to put towards local Web buys. The company places local online advertising for national advertisers.
"The content on these sites is clearly objectionable and the ads should not have been displayed there," CENTRO CEO SHAWN RIEGSECKER told CLICKZ NEWS. "As soon as we were alerted to this issue, we removed the ads immediately. The DNC and OBAMA FOR AMERICA maintain very high editorial and content standards of where their advertising is displayed and we should not have placed an ad there."
When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.
The Democrats may have failed, ecologically, in their stupid and shallow attempts to have "the greenest political convention ever" - but, with Barak Obama's lack of any experience, they have succeeded in having the greenest nominee ever.
It's been on at the house as a space filler. It has sickened me to hear the "America Sucks and the only way to save it is by electing us to change it" speaches.
If you go for the Debbie Downers, have a go for the Dems. I've got my sights set on the Repub Convention and the actual "look at all the good things we have and we know we can do even better" speaches.
Dallas area local news pulled a "we switch now to Hillary's Speech" for hen non-watchers to get forced Feeding of the Democrap Convention coverage.
Pissed off some people...LOL The Republican Revolution will not be Televised
If the Denver PD won't go to the stick's, let someone in who will. Maybe the ColoradoNG, someone. They are not doing a damn thing to these loons. Especially after the attack on Michelle Malkin. Furthermore, I would arrest and book anyone wearing a mask and protesting. What the hell is this, the West Bank?
democrat convention ... the party of hope and change has exhibited nothing more than a platform of "bitch and moan".
the thought that a group of people who have nothing decent to say about this country wants to run it is as shocking as it is pathetic ... and un-american.
the master plan seems to be trying to convince americans that their country is so bad that only they can save them ... in other words a complete sham. and there is a underlying sentiment (in my opinion) that if obama isn't elected ... america will "still be mired in racism".
my question is whether or not most voters see the ruse ... because, like kerry in 04, there is no plan being brought forward to back up all this "change" being promised. and i think chosing a running mate who has spent most of his adult life a senator confirms that "change" is a hollow statement ... but, more importantly, that obama knows he can't be elected president on his own merit.
... on obama's weak, very weak, rebuttle of the william ayers ad (where his defense is that he was only 8 years old when ayers did his dirty work) ... try this: insert the name of any infamous person who committed a vile act before you turned 10 and imagine defending a relationship with them as an adult ... i'll go first:
Last night I was watching the convention on C-Span because they show it without commentators.
Some of the speeches were given by regular citizens and some by politicians.
What I noticed is that every regular citizen had a sad tale to tell and a gripe: "I had to wait for medical care" "I wasn't getting paid what men were gettting paid" "I can't afford my taxes".
But all the politicians were getting up and saying "America is great. Only in America can someone like me, born in a shack, rise to the highest success".
The DNC doesn't put on any regular citizens that say: "America is great. I'm proud of my country. Only in America could there be a success story like mine." Only the politicians get to say that.
The Chinese put on a great opening ceremony at the Olympics
too. If you're into glitz and glimmer
over substance, you should love BHO's speech in regal surroundings as much as you cooed over the
Chinese. Little matter that the Chinese
had a 7-year-old kid lip-synching in place of a real singer who had buck
teeth. Oh Oz, powerful wizard, what's
behind the curtain?
Rumor has it that they were going to sacrifice two vestal virgins to the gods, but it being the Democratic Party, they couldn't find two vestal virgins so the idea was scrapped.
is going to come off more like "Triumph of the Will" type of rally.....this will really turn people off. All they need is Leni Refenstahl to produce it. Sieg Obama, sieg Obama!!
From the who woulda thunk it department. Apparently female golfers have even more testicular fortitude than Hillary. Or congress for that matter. Starting in 2009, all LPGA members must be able to speak english or else you're kicked off the tour.
The LPGA Tour has become a substantial detriment to the US balance of payments. Most of the prize money is going to South Korea. American tour members spend too much effort marketing and selling sex and too little effort winning tournaments. It's actually a close analogy to the way the US auto industry dealt with Japan.
There are whisperings in the halls of power here in New York that Hillary's pantsuit was swiped a few years ago from a Central Park art exhibit called "The Gates".
After viewing the pictures of the Christo exhibit it's obvious that Christo did not use enough material to have been converted into a Hillary pantsuit.
Mr. "New kind of Politics" is going to have to scrap some of his own "old style" politics...the Chicago style that got him elected in Illinois.
I came across this at Neal Boortz's blog; he was talking about Obama's attempt to have that Ayers ad stopped:
Now might be a good time to remind you how Obama won his first run for the Illinois State Senate. He didn't win by convincing the voters that he was the better candidate. He won by sending workers to the elections office to pour [sic] over petitions until he managed to get his opposition removed from the ballot. Now he's trying to use the U.S. legal system to keep people from running perfectly legitimate advertisements opposing his candidacy. There's really not much evidence that Obama is a fan of the electoral process. He would rather use a legal process to gain power.
I wonder how many people are aware that he won his first election, not by votes, but by contesting all his opponents and having them removed from the ballot for technicalities? So he ran unopposed.
The supposed upside? Apparently, according to one source "he wasn't happy" about doing it.
But hey, you do what you gotta do!
Of course, he wouldn't do anything like trying to contest ballots etc. this time, would he?
Hey MB. WOW, I guess CNN really does stand for C linton N ews N etwork.
I never thought I'd see a negative story on the messiah from the MSM. Though I suppose it wasn't all THAT negative. Wonder how long before Griffin and Johnston are declared racists.
I missed the Democrat National Circus last night. A tree fell on the powerlines leading to my house. It pulled the lines down and broke a utility pole. We were completely out of touch with the outside world last night except for a L.L. Bean crank radio. No phones (too far in the sticks to get cell phone reception). No television. No internet.
I can't think of a better time to be cut off like that. Instead of watching Billary on the t.v., we sat out under the stars.
We just got the pole replaced and power restored, so I'm just coming up to speed on Hillary's speech. Thank The Obama that I'm not going to have to miss His speech, unless another tree falls.
AKA socialist bailout. And this story explains where some of that credit default insurance is, but nobody knows the answer to basic questions like "ok, who wrote the insurance policies?" and "do the underwriters actually have the money to pay them off?" China seems "concerned." Rightly, IMO...

The tax & spend drugwar looks racist in the real world.
"Jimmy Carter, a.k.a. “The Worst
President in American History” and “Embracer of Blood Thirsty
Dictators” referred to Barack Obama as “this black boy” during PBS’
coverage of the Democratic National Convention on Monday, and no one
seemed to notice. Of course there is nothing wrong with what
Carter said. This is just a sign of the times we live in where the
words used by one group of people are OK, but when used by another
group of people are deemed racist.We all know the uproar it
would cause across the nation if the same statement had been made by
President Bush or John McCain or for that matter any Republican."
I think it's funny that the MSM keeps calling Obama's set a "temple". Call it what it is. Obama is trying to recreate King's "I Have A Dream" speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial.
Thought our national bloggers would like to know what actor Lou Gossett just said on the Roe Conn Show WLS890 in Chicago. Conn is on the floor of the convention in Denver.
Gossett described himself as a former Hillary guy who was totally taken by Obama. He said that it was not only the message, but the Obama personna that swayed him. HE THEN REFERRED TO OBAMA AS THE "CHOSEN ONE".
I kid you not! It happened around 2:22 CDT. These people really believe what Obama believes (he's the chosen one), and Obama has milked it for all it's worth.
Just wondering if anyone is or has been catching the repub party platform committee rules and such on C-SPAN2
I have already been disappointed by one vote...I think he said it was the first where they had a major difference...it was about illegal aliens and the census bureau count... long story, but I learned some stuff already I didn't know.
So far they have covered some of the voting fraud, voting ID requirements ect.
I didn't even know this was going on or had started yet...just thought I'd let others who may be interested know.

A coming "credit event"
August 27, 2008 - 11:03 ET by sarcasmoAKA socialist bailout. And this story explains where some of that credit default insurance is, but nobody knows the answer to basic questions like "ok, who wrote the insurance policies?" and "do the underwriters actually have the money to pay them off?" China seems "concerned." Rightly, IMO...

Spin
August 27, 2008 - 11:39 ET by JDWBG: An impassioned call for unity
Hillary briefly tacked on positive Obama comments to her accomplishments. And she did not attack McCain. This was nothing more than personal facetime.
If Obama is capable of making difficult decisions, how did he allow the Clintons to work their way into the convention?

Obama's Greek Temple
August 27, 2008 - 11:56 ET by PeterDA lot of speculation about why the Greek temple motif for Obama's acceptance speech tomorrow night. The reason is pretty obvious to me...
Its a tribute to George Soros!
Hannity just referred to Obama....
August 27, 2008 - 14:53 ET by Prester John...as Barack Apollo Obama.
Now the question is, of course, will that be considered more disparaging/racist/mean-spirited than using his real middle name?
Jimmy Carter Calls Barack Obama "This Black Boy"
August 27, 2008 - 11:57 ET by kg"Jimmy Carter, a.k.a. “The Worst
President in American History” and “Embracer of Blood Thirsty
Dictators” referred to Barack Obama as “this black boy” during PBS’
coverage of the Democratic National Convention on Monday, and no one
seemed to notice. Of course there is nothing wrong with what
Carter said. This is just a sign of the times we live in where the
words used by one group of people are OK, but when used by another
group of people are deemed racist.We all know the uproar it
would cause across the nation if the same statement had been made by
President Bush or John McCain or for that matter any Republican."

Obama's Temple
August 27, 2008 - 13:02 ET by GothampcI think it's funny that the MSM keeps calling Obama's set a "temple". Call it what it is. Obama is trying to recreate King's "I Have A Dream" speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial.

"Chosen One"
August 27, 2008 - 14:39 ET by CaringwhiteguyThought our national bloggers would like to know what actor Lou Gossett just said on the Roe Conn Show WLS890 in Chicago. Conn is on the floor of the convention in Denver.
Gossett described himself as a former Hillary guy who was totally taken by Obama. He said that it was not only the message, but the Obama personna that swayed him. HE THEN REFERRED TO OBAMA AS THE "CHOSEN ONE".
I kid you not! It happened around 2:22 CDT. These people really believe what Obama believes (he's the chosen one), and Obama has milked it for all it's worth.
Repub party platform
August 27, 2008 - 16:01 ET by bigtimerJust wondering if anyone is or has been catching the repub party platform committee rules and such on C-SPAN2
I have already been disappointed by one vote...I think he said it was the first where they had a major difference...it was about illegal aliens and the census bureau count... long story, but I learned some stuff already I didn't know.
So far they have covered some of the voting fraud, voting ID requirements ect.
I didn't even know this was going on or had started yet...just thought I'd let others who may be interested know.
