September 5, 201214 yr I may not get the Alabama drawl of Lillie Ledbetter out of my head for a while.
September 5, 201214 yr The other item that I find interesting is the constant refrain of "he has nothing to run on so he only bashes his opponent." I heard A LOT of accomplishments tonight. It seems like it's a case of "I don't like his accomplishments or agree with his politics" vs "he has not accomplished anything." Preach!!!
September 5, 201214 yr I will say one thing is a fact, both political party conventions speakers are full of crap. With all this new found enthusiasm go lower the debt and get our economy on track, work together to get our country back to greatness.
September 5, 201214 yr Hated that the SA Mayor Castro had ZERO mention of a father. Sad. Gotta get that female vote. Lots of single Moms out there. Dads are important. Big reason our society is going to hell in a hand basket. #nodads
September 5, 201214 yr One of the cool things about a convention is being exposed to the next generation. Here is the San Antonio mayor. Julian Castro Speech At 2012 Democratic Convention Wows Crowd (VIDEO)
September 5, 201214 yr I don't get what the issue is. The govt IS the only thing we all belong to. They didn't say it SHOULD be the only thing we belong to. They followed up with proper context saying we all belong to different states/churches/etc. What's the issue? We do not belong to government. Government was created by the People. Government belongs to the People. An all powerful government is at odds with personal freedom. By cheering on the greatness of government, the rights and achievements of the People are lessened.
September 5, 201214 yr There have been accomplishments, and they will be mentioned a lot this week. What we won't hear is that all of these "accomplishments" are tax and spend initiatives. God help the next generations if we allow it to continue...
September 5, 201214 yr The video speaks volumes. I'm not upset about it but it clearly shows what they believe. Government is the alpha and the omega.
September 5, 201214 yr Well, one thing is for sure, Michelle can certainly say she is better off now than she was 4 years ago. Her date nights have gone from dinner and maybe a movie in a rusted out car to dinner and the theater in New York City on Airforce One.
September 5, 201214 yr The video speaks volumes. I'm not upset about it but it clearly shows what they believe. Government is the alpha and the omega.And unfortunately, too many on here are ok with that. An overreachng federal government is dangerous and an impediment to our liberties and freedoms that get taken for granted. As it has been stated before by someone WAY more intelligent than I, anyone that gives up freedoms and liberties for security, deserves neither.
September 5, 201214 yr Could someone please tell 2 Hump Camel to read #3? Apparently gas has nearly doubled and where I live it has doubled from $1.95. :idunno: Price of Gas in July 08: $4.19 Price of Gas July 12: $3.37 but it doubled right? I can cherry pick numbers with you all day long.
September 5, 201214 yr Author So for everyone who says they built it alone will they say they failed alone also or will they blame the government?A friend of mine opened a tool and die shop several years ago. When it failed the bank took his house. As far as I know the bank didn't take the white house.
September 5, 201214 yr Well, one thing is for sure, Michelle can certainly say she is better off now than she was 4 years ago. Her date nights have gone from dinner and maybe a movie in a rusted out car to dinner and the theater in New York City on Airforce One. More vacations also
September 5, 201214 yr Price of Gas in July 08: $4.19 Price of Gas July 12: $3.37 but it doubled right? I can cherry pick numbers with you all day long. So what's your point?
