WASHINGTON (CNN) – President Bush will headline the first night of the Republican National Convention and former GOP rival Rudy Giuliani will deliver the convention’s keynote address at the four day political rally in St. Paul, Minnesota, which will culminate in the nomination of John McCain as the Republican Party’s presidential nominee.
Watch: The GOP has finalized convention plans
On Thursday, a video will introduce McCain before he delivers his acceptance speech, senior campaign aides tell CNN.
The Arizona senator is turning to close allies, former rivals, a former Democrat, and potential running mates to address the convention in the days leading up to his acceptance speech. A year ago, four of the speakers were competing against McCain for the Republican nomination; one of the speakers is Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, the 2000 Democratic vice presidential nominee; two of them represent the battleground state of Florida, and 10 speakers have been rumored to be on McCain’s list of potential running mates.
Rick Davis, McCain’s campaign manager, said that the senator wanted the list of speakers to showcase the “diversity” of the Republican Party.
“I think one of the things that is important, especially for John McCain, as unique a politician as he is, is to demonstrate the diversity and differences of ideology I would say of our party,” Davis said. “I think one of the things that people forget about is we are not a very monolithic as a party. We really want to show some of that.”
Joining Bush on Monday will be Vice President Dick Cheney, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Democrat-turned-Independent Lieberman, and first lady Laura Bush.
Giuliani keynotes the convention the next night and will be preceded at the podium by former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge, former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson, Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle, former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
On Wednesday, McCain’s yet-to-be announced running mate will formally accept the vice presidential nomination, followed by the roll call for McCain’s nomination initiated by Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. Prior to the GOP vice presidential nominees’ address, McCain’s wife Cindy, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman, former eBay CEO Meg Whitman and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina will speak.
Leading up to McCain’s acceptance speech, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and Florida Sen. Mel Martinez will address the convention.
Davis also said that Romney will be making appearances in Denver during the Democratic National Convention, which will be held there next week.
As for McCain, he will slightly scale back but not entirely cease campaigning during the Democratic convention. He is scheduled to make an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno Monday and will address the American Legion National Convention in Phoenix. The day after the Democratic convention, Davis said McCain will resume “an aggressive campaign schedule” that will continue through his arrival in St. Paul.

And this is the BEST they have to offer???????? lol
Bush, Cheney, Giuliani, and Lieberman? That's a whole lot of fail in one place. It's supposed to show diversity? You've got "9/11", "9/11", "9/11", and "9/11" speaking. Good job. Very diverse.
its gonna be entertaining....
Moe, Larry, Curly, and Shemp!!!
"McCain will resume “an aggressive campaign schedule” that will continue through his arrival in St. Paul."
He looked like a sitting corpse at Rick Warrens staged performance.
Whatever.......................
What a rouge's gallery of shame – Do not let your kids watch, they would be better off watching a Marilyn Manson video than this Murderer's Row.
The GOP All-Stars....minus the supernova, Bush.
the likes of Joe Libermierstein are not needed at our convention. Keep your greedy decietful hands off MY PARTY!
Doesn't matter, McCain wil lose inspite of Rick Warren, Karl Rove, Cheney and Bush.

IT APPEARS, THIS CONVENTION WILL NOT BE WORTH WATCHING! ! !
perfect.
McCain/Saakashvili '08
(We're all Georgians, right?)
What a line-up that is. Those names should give Obama a win by themselves. America can do better. If McSame wins it will be a sad day in America. If he wins the dems should give them all that they ask for and let the country go down then in four years the republican party will be finished. Tired of this crap. The lies. The slander. The tricks. The jokes when nothing is funny. This country is in bad shape and the hate that is in us keeps us from moving in the right direction. What is wrong with you people? Why is it that some can see and so many can't? Lord help us.
Obama08
Sounds like a good ole boy convention to me. These are the same men that have helped destroy this country. No wonder they won't have any attendees at the convention, with a losing crew like this how can we believe in their leadership??
Obama 08, 12 !!!!!!! Yes we CAN!!!!!
Rick Warren's forum would have gone a lot better had he just been honest. If he had just stopped pretending that he wasn't promoting John McCain, he wouldn't have looked like such a dope on Larry King. His Republican secret was out, and there wasn't a lot he could do about it.
It pays to tell the truth, and the pastor should know better.
Why not get Rick Warren to speak, he's Republican.
I wonder if any of them is going to actually appear on stage at the same time as the Alumnus of the Keating Five. Maybe they should include Cindy McCain's half-sisters while they're at it.
What a line up of has been neocons who are responsible, along with their candidate, for the mess America is in both outside and inside her borders!!
How exciting. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
wow. that sounds cool
Arnold is a great and enthusiastic speaker as is Bush (no matter what you think of him) , Guiliani, Jindal, and Lieberman. I truly think the RNC will outshine the DNC this year. Good luck to all.
Wow! All on one stage:
1) The worst President in U.S. history
2) The worst Vice President (ok, maybe second worst, see Agnew) in U.S. history
3) The distinguished Senator from Israel
4) The single biggest presumed-nominee flop in U.S. history
A noun, a verb, and 9-11 anyone?
That looks like a list of 'who's – nobody' in Republican politics.
So, Mr. 911 himself, Giuliani is speaking at the convention. No doubt to help SCARE Americans into voting republican much like Dick Cheney did in 2004. If the American citizens fall for this again, shame on us!
Sounds like the "Orange Jumpsuit Gang" to me.
OK, PREPARE FOR THE CREEPO CONVENTION. SPIN, LIES, AND VIDEOTAPE.
That oughta be a doosy. Are the American people really this crazy? I just don't get how we can look at John McCain and that list of speakers and go "Yep...those are our guys. Let's sign em up for more time."
If we elect John McCain, the world will be disgusted and we will deserve everything that we get. What did GW say "Fool me once, fool me twice, well then you fool me."
Are we really going to be fooled again?
Bush: "We are declaring victory in Iraq for the 9th time, now that the surge is working".
Cheney: "Shut up, America, and do what I say, or I'll have Chertoff declare you an unpatriotic terrorist".
Guliani: "Did I ever mention my 9/11 experience?"
Lieberman: "Uhhhh....can someone tell me which party I belong to?"
I think I'd rather watch paint dry.
Ah yes, the Neo-convention! Hard to believe one building could hold so much evil....
EMPTY VESSELS MAKE THE MOST NOISE
SNOOZEFEST, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Did we get the results from cindy mccains entry in the biker babe contest yet?
Just asking...............................
WOW, they are going to let Bush near the convention?
it's tired, old and funny to wiat for mcsame's vp nom. as well – what's the deal with all the obama bashing?
mcsame pay you guys off as well?
Okay, we've heard them for 8 years. You think we want to hear more. I don't think so, I've got my schedule planned for that week:
Root canal
Watching paint dry
Cleaning my CD covers
Cleaning the trunk of my car
Counting the days until Barack Obama moves in the White House
It's going to be a full week for me.
In contrast, I will be at the DNC Convention, working my fingers to the bone to elect our next president.
Obama 08
Gee, it sounds like the RNC is so desperste to deflect attention from Ron Paul's Rally for the republic across town, which will draw more people, that they have to bring out the crowd that got us into this mess in the first place.
Can you say backfire? Having Bush and Cheney, not to mention Mr. "I got schooled on 9/11 by Ron Paul" Giuliani speak will firmly place Panama John in the neocon camp and cost him the election, no matter who he picks as his running mate.
It's gonna be fun watching the GOP implode in the coming weeks.
You should have nominated Ron Paul. You didn't. Nice knowing you.
Gettin those two up on stage will really keep the republicans away from their own convention! Add in King George and flip flop Lieberman, and the arena should really be empty! Way to go GOP!
Geez what a pathetic bunch of headliners for the RNC! The 29% true-believers and the 40% wanna-believers should be quite happy. The rest of us, who actually use our brains, just shake our heads in disgust.
There are a great many idiots out here in the American electorate who not only made one, but TWO proven mistakes by voting for the worst president in the last 100 years...and these same self-proclaimed 'patriots' are ready to make the same mistake, yet a THIIRD time?!!! This takes either a not-so-mild form of retardation, or a significant level of self-loathing, or a major contempt for America, or a stunning level of stupidity....or more likely some scrambled combination. Why are these people allowed to vote, let alone procreate?
Do Republicans really want Bush, Cheney and Lieberman?? I thought McCain was doing all he could to distance himself from the Bush Administration?? I'm not even going to type what I think about the other. Where's James Carvelle and his Judas comment when we need him?!
I must be a masochist, because regardless how much I despise each of the Republican idiots referenced in your story, I will probably watch just to see how much further the GOP can sink.
What a cast of supreme idiots!
God save America from the the Republicans
Public enemies numbers 1,2,3,4....Karl Rove is missing.
Crimes against America should NOT go unpunished. Send them to Gitmo, and put them in the general population.
JOHN MCCAIN SAID TODAY IN NEW MEXICO "VICTORY IS IN SIGHT" IN IRAQ. LAST WEEK HE CLAIMED "WE HAVE SUCCEEDED IN IRAQ" THE SURGE WORKED" NOW IT IS BACK TO "WE MUST WIN IN IRAQ" "VICTORY IS IN SIGHT". JOHN MCCAIN YOU DON'T HAVE A CONSISTENT MESSAGE ABOUT IRAQ. EVERYDAY IT IS A DIFFERENT STORY. YOU MAY THINK IRAQ IS YOUR STRONG SUIT, BUT YOU WILL NOT WIN THIS ELECTION USING THE IRAQ WAR.
Now the Fascist is going to speak, the should call this the HATE convention
I think Lieberman forgot he's supposed to be a democrat. Shame on him!
Probably a mistake to choose George, Laura AND Dick...McCain certainly doesn't need to further the nonsense that he is another Bush. However, Lieberman, Giuliani and Schwarzenegger (anyone remember Arnold in '04?) were excellent choices.
Here we go. All the lowest common denominator sheep will be lining up for their shearing in St. Paul. These guys will be talking about the evil democratic boogeyman and how he's not ready. The LCD will follow along like the good little sheep they are.
I would be totally sick if I subjected myselt to watching those "old" dirty rotten scoundrels!
Can you say disaster?
Who's in charge of putting this thing together? They must have been hired by Democrats.
PARTNERS IN CRIME!
For all you sheep out there that blindly follow the repuglican agenda and thinking of voting for mccain, I say don't complain when: your sons and daughters are shipped off to fight war, when your civil liberties are stripped down to nothing, when you lose your homes and can't declare bankruptcy because the repugs got rid of that years ago, when you are unable to afford health insurance so you better not get real sick, when we are fighting WWIII because mcwar has a chip on his demented shoulders, when the US has no more pristine coasts because of oil spills (btw the mississippi is still polluted from the oil spil last month), the supreme court over turns our constitution for the far right agenda, when GI discover after fighting all these wars they have no benefits, trickle down economics hasn't trickled down but the big corporations are reporting larger than ever profits, gas is a 10.00 and rising.....just pat yourself on the back and say hey, I proudly voted for John McCain.
i don't like them
Gee, that sounds exciting. ZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
Who cares, I won't be watching.
Dirk, AK
You forgot Rumsfeld.
This is great programming. Now we can have the Republican party's top two philanderers - Giuliani and McCain - giving the keynote addresses. Ta-ta to your so-called "family values".
The "Decider", Shotgun Dick, Mister 9-11 and a Traitor?
Where's Larry, Curly and Moe? Was Shemp not available?
Maybe they will play Wagners music for the Warmongers.
ALL LOSERS!!! Jeez!!!
What a delightful array of everything that's been wrong in America for the past decade or so.
The latest POLL numbers anywhere in the world show Mc Cain leading Obama 46-41. CNN does not want to show this REAL CHANGE just like the put a tight lid on John Edward’s affair.
The republican administration of Bush is running McCain's campaign.
The same old lies, tricks and nasty attacks.
Obama 08/12.
The other thread is closed so please let me post my comment here.
Does everyone know that Mr. Hope and Change's youngest brother lives in abject poverty in a shack in Nairobi! That's right–no hope or change for Obama's own brother.
What a hypocrite! Check out hillbuzz.com for the photo and
article.
I want to see the IP addresses from these posts. From the tone, they must be coming from China, N. Korea, and Venenzuela
And their motto will be, "Put the check on my card,my kids can pay for it when im gone".
if they are all on stage then who do they have left to sit in the audiance to clap for the old fools???!!!
THE GOP YEP...THE GRAND OLD PARTY with the operative word being OLD!
More rich stupid people talking to more stupid rich people who only know how to live war, war, and more war. Everyone of them will your sons and daughters to their death in the middle east!!!
seems to me to be the biggest collection of failures i have ever seen!! Glad i'll miss this one!!
OBAMa '08
Ah yes, the gathering of the Sith lords has begun....
Steve said
"Bush: "We are declaring victory in Iraq for the 9th time, now that the surge is working".
Cheney: "Shut up, America, and do what I say, or I'll have Chertoff declare you an unpatriotic terrorist".
Guliani: "Did I ever mention my 9/11 experience?"
Lieberman: "Uhhhh….can someone tell me which party I belong to?"
LMAO! Those were good Steve. Mind if I copy and forward to some of my freinds?
PS: go to electoral-vote.com for state by state, day by day true polls!!! Obama is ahead of McCain and even ahead of McCain in electorial votes. Go Obama
Ah, it's a new soap opera: "The Old and The Useless". Has-been/wanna be central, folks!
Wow, what a set of winners they have. . . If this is the best they have, that should tell you all you need to know about the Republican party these days!
Good. All the idiots in one place.
Lieberman and McCain appear to be pretty comfortable around those guys.
Come on GOP, lets go celebrate ignorance!!!
Obama's convention will be like a rock show. McCain's convention will be more presidential. The country needs someone like McCain to act like an adult instead of being a superstar as Obama will be portrayed. This party of 80,000 people bowing to Obama is great for a one nighter, but I would rather have someone in office who knows what he is doing.
Is any one else tired of seeing older rich white men running the most ethnically diverse country in the world?
ROFLMAO@ Blue Lou
Partners in crime! When did the government become above the law?
Hey Obama Folks,
If these Republicans are as bad as you folks claim that they are, why is Obama barely ahead of McCain. The democratic nominee should be up by 15-20 points by now. Obviously Americans are getting over the inital hype over Obama and finally coming to their senses!!!
Let the fun begin.......LOL
What a Nightmare. Sounds like a bad Dream
Frist...super delegate NJ not all polls show McCain ahead...only ONE poll. Get real.
Second, now who would want to watch the Republican convention to see all those crooks talk? Not me!
Can't believe American's are still dumb enough to vote for republicans and John Mccain who will continue their policies, unbelievable...land of idiots...I'm ashamed of my country, that so many could be so utterly stupid.
Matthew,
You have it just right!!!!!
FOUR LOSERS!!!!!!!
Clinton/McCain August 20th, 2008 12:17 pm ET
Perfect. I noticed Campbell Brown last night mention that McCain was attacking Obama's patriotism, but then she never said how. I never heard McCain once question Obama's patriotism.
___________________________________________________
"I would rather win a war and lose an election. Senator Obama would rather lose a war to win an election" – John McCain
That's just one example. There have been others and more from his campaign staff & surrogates and even more from the reactionary right media – you know, the "unofficial" propaganda outlets for the Republican Party.
Okay, get the No-Doz ready ... couldn't they pick at least one person capable of giving a decent speech? What kind of GOP moron do you have to be to be interested in anything these duds have to say?? Mind-boggling!!
If ever there were a man who need lip injections......
A personality and face–only a mother could love.
Libertarians–end corrupt, connected politicians for defining YOUR values and priorities for our country.
Bob Barr 2008
Give me liberty....etc, etc, etc, .....
Calling these people names makes democrats sound desperate...
Try this – McPresident McCain..
Obama is finally tanking in the polls.
What!? All of them!!?? But, but.., the liberal news networks, my only source of news, have been says for weeks now that Bush and Cheney wouldn't be welcomed.. How could this be???
Hang your hat on the Zogby poll..... after the two conventions, it will be a distant memory
Wow.... A Showstopper.. Not!!!
I'd rather watch re runs of the Lawrence Welk Show!!
Obama 2008 thru 2016
Too boring, too old for me!
That it's strange because an other poll show Obama leading by ten points, wich one we took..
I think this is a good idea. The Republicans should showcase all of their failures and surrogates at one time.
How can anyone look at these guys and say, "Yeah, I think I'll vote for more of this."?
One more thing–watch CNN tonight on McCain revelled. FOX did it last night and shows MCCain true colors. CNN tries to clean it up a bit but FOX didn't. McCain's judgement in his own personal life leaves a LOT to be desired!!! HOW can he run a country and especially when he is sooooo old, grumpy and on the verg of senelity. I do not usually like FOX but they showed MCCain true colors and he is a womanizer, playboy, theif, anger management problem and a warmonger. SOmetimes I think he is trying to get back at the world by sending all the American children into harms way!!!!!
Once again liberals weep, as the lights dim on their progressive agenda...
Rick Waren for Gop vice president!!
great!the four worst people in america.they should all get used to each other as they may be spending a lot of time together in cramped conditions,with a lot of large angry minority men imprisoned for heinous crimes.or they may get shipped to gitmo where they can gain presidential 'EXPERIENCE' ,by being pows.
Quite a nice brochette. A crossdresser, a dumb, a psychopath and a rat. Amazing that people who are watching this can actually vote for the republicans. This country is in one deep mess.
Boring, boring. The Republican convention will be a happy place. No drama. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I prefer excitement. There will be all kinds of drama at the DNC convention. Will Clinton supporters revolte or even overthrow Obama? With Obama slipping in the polls, will super delagtes change their vote to Clinton who has always said Obama can't win but she can?
What will Bill C. say in his speech, what will Hillary say?
Will everyone cheer Obama's acceptenace speech or will half the crowd boo.
I wonder if the children from McCain's first marriage were invited. Since they weren't included in the children's book written by the good daughter, maybe he will continue to shun them.
Rudy was counting on retired New Yorkers in Florida to help him win the state, and thus sustain his campaign. People like to vote for a winner. Rudy came woefully short. Native New Yorkers knew what he was about.
Oddly, NY Sen. Hillary Clinton had a similar strategy. "If I win early, I'll lock it up."
What a wonderful group of public servants representing the best party this side of heaven – THE G.O. Sleaze.
Hey Super–
Rasmussen says Obama is up by 1 with leaners, 3 without.
And he still controls the map on electoral votes...
And I still say polls before the conventions and the VP picks and the debates mean little.
They forgot Katherine Harris, Lex Luthor, David Duke, and Carrot Top – all also guilty of crimes against humanity.
Super Delegate that would be incorrect. The only poll that has McCain ahead is the Zogby/Reuters poll which, by the by, is not considered one of the more accurate polls. If you look at more national polls (including the new Q poll) and more importantly the local polling Obama is still ahead. But I digress since I personally think that whether it's McCain or Obama that polls this early don't mean squat. Not to mention.. who the heck is taking these darn polls anyhow?
And they all have lied for personal gain
Shame on all of you.
Obama yes for change , yes for truth
Jessica: Don't take any bets on it because it may never happen. His only hope now is to choose the right VP not big mouth Biden, wannabe Kathleen, hopeless Bayh, Kaine, Richardson and others that may want the position not on the list. If he doesn't choose Hillary her voters will turn around and vote for McCain or write her name in no matter what she says. And that's what I am going to do. Obamaosamahussein may never make the history he wants in this country.
Well i wont be watching the gop horror show it will be like watching fright night or the return of the living dead no gop convention on my tv but then again if i want to have a few laughs why not!!!
What a little success will do to these republicans. THey are getting cocky. Look what happened 8 years ago. They let success go to their head and what happened to our country. What fools have we become...
Good GAWD The GERIATRIC FOUR instead of the Keating Five!
McCain is 5 points ahead in the latest poll...
There has been a 15 point swing in last 90 days...
Keep making remarks and put downs... and next thing you know McCain will be in the Whitehouse...
Obama was a terrible choice... The DNC is to blame... Obama will try to pick up Hillary now and it would be a mistake for Hillary to accept...
The year that should have been a landslide will be a loss... again... the DNC picks far left radicals which continue to fail... un-real!
Who cares anymore? Does it seem entirely coincidental that all we hear about now is Barack Obama? Voting seems so trite and useless now that the media and big names have already chosen the future president.
Laugh it up Obamaborgs. Today's poll of polls has Obama only up by one. He was up by 8 a month ago. Empty Suit Barry is going down! Maybe he can join Rev. Wright in Africa. He won't be needed here. You guys should have nominated Hillary. At least she is qualified for the job.
Nice, the four horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Just add Condy for political correctness and you've got a real exciting game of how-can-we-screw-you-while-still-making-us-money-today going.
Good god, have you Repubs lost your marbles? Or have you just been scared so badly that you are blind?
Peace.
Wait, so a bunch of neo-conservatives represent the diversity of the Republican party? Sounds pretty monolithic to me.
John in Ohio – so so true. And thanks for the great laugh.
Go Hillary – have you heard....hillary lost. Reason – she couldn't manage her campaign or its finances and people were sick of the clintons. get over it and get yourself some therapy.
KMAN – EXACTLY!
Stop playing the "POW" CARD! – couldn't agree more!
Jessica, TX – dead on, i too will be watching paint dry that week.
How predictable, the GOP is going with the 1 trick pony yet again and will exploit fear-mongering and terror to scare people into voting for the politics of corruption.
Lieberman is a wise Democrat! Go McCain!
NOBAMA!
Typical Obama supporters always scolding, stigmatizing, decrying, blaming, attacking, discrediting, censuring, castigating, you name it. No matter how much good they have done such as North Korea nuke deal, terrorist world chain destruction, freedom in Iraq, 14000 Dow Jones, illegal immigrant crack down, terrorist attack prevention on US soil, marriage sanctification, etc.
Not to be racist or sexist, but it is already world unwritten law that white male is much more respectable by the world (of course in the US all are the same, but not in the world). Obama-Caroline...hmm.. perfect ticket (couple?) to make America underestimated by the world (non-western countries).
Just read the last USA survey where McCain is leading. Seriously, that's a complet joke. They take less than 8oo persons for a country as large as the US. Irrelevant and statistically insignificant. In that survey, 19% of AA would vote for McCain. Ha Ha. Yeah right. Plus, Obama is leading heavily among moderates and liberals but would still be lead by McCain. Is there any survey polls that look at least credible in this country? They seem as incompetent as the medias.
They all lie, have lied in the past and will continue to lie in the future to save thieir political hides.....at the expense of this nation.
Let's see FOX add a little of this truth to their "news."
YAY a convention where we can hear lots of nouns, verbs and 9/11
Bush, Cheney, Giuliani, and Lieberman: Axis of Evil II.
Lots of bozos on that bus...
Any Clinton supporter who had doubts about voting for Obama will probably hold their nose and vote for Obama after seeing Bush and Cheney share a stage with McCain.
McCain really bombed it- if he was smart he would have told Bush and Cheney to stay away.
McCain is not the maverick that we all adored in 2000, he's just another Republican party hack.
Sorry John.
Come on America. Let's go for change this time. We can't rely on these old men for a better America. They have each served in there own way. We can make a difference this time.
I'm surprised they're letting Bush and Cheney speak. It just reinforces the fact that electing McCain would be tantamount to a 3rd Bush term.
I hope they play Ride of the Valkyries (Wagner music, you nitwit) during the convention. It would be appropriate since the GOP is on the attack in this election and are on their way to putting you whining liberals into the ground, politically.
Mikey: Obama was never a true American years back that's why he was a racist, white hating and anti-american and attended a church with a pastor preaching those words. Michele belonged to a racist organization for years. There is a lot that the public doesn't know about Obama but they better wake up and smell the coffee before they vote for him. He is using this country to make history for himself and wants to be like MLK. If the public thinks he cares about them they better open up their eyes. And this country should investigate the report whether he was originally born in Kenya not Hawaii but was registered in Hawaii. I read this information on the internet that's why there is doubt about his birth certificate.
McCain is tough and ready to lead! I'm voting for him! He'll get us out of Iraq and return our free economy to a prosperous one!
Obama's selling us a bunch of academic and untested ideas!
If the American people people are stupid enough to select these same cast of seedy characters to lead this nation again, then I will be greatly ashamed to be an American.
These people are the antithesis of what our values are and are actively destroying our nation, the American Dream, the very concept of democracy, and putting one hell of a dent in the future of humanity as a whole.
Maybe that would be best, it will surely hasten the 2nd American Revolution.
bunch of dinasours
I'm glad I saved some barf bags from my last plane flight. I will need them if I listen to those pathetic excuses speak.
Well, they won't have to waste energy turning on the heat in chilly St. Paul.
Sounds like there will be plenty of hot air in there.
We can have a contest to see how many times each speaker can work '9-11' and 'War on Terror' into their speeches!! I'm sure their already giving odds on this in Vegas... with Guiliani in the lead!!
I wonder if they'll let Cheney bring his shotgun to the convention...
Four losers speaking to a party of losers... YAWN!!!!
I hope someone gives Giuliani's wife a schedule of events so she doesn't call again during the speech.
This country is in a sad pathetic state if that's what these Republicans are going to put before the American people. Watch and listen to the spins and lies and the deception the people spew out to everyone. Losers.
WOW JUST ONE BIG WAR FEAST – THEY CAN ALL SHOUT LETS GO KILL SOME TERRORIST AND BOMB BOMB BOMB IRAN
sounds like an exceptionally BORING lineup. not a popular guy in the bunch. not an inspiring intellectual either. where are the female republican senators or congresswomen. why do we have to listen to boring, tired, lame, self important like this group mentioned. not an orator in the bunch. not a "thinker" in the bunch. sounds like a very unexciting convention. i will watch reruns of most anything to avoid having to listen to this ilk.
Hillary please run as an independent!
Where's Obama's ghetto unpatriotic wife at lately? I'd rather listen and view Guiliani that that ghetto wife of Obama's!!!
Let me guess. I bet RG will talk about 911.
I'm having nightmares! War, executive authority, secrecy, 9/11, taking sides with Israel...HELP!
Go Hillary – Bush, Cheney, Giuliani, Lieberman are not exactly great model leaders to have reached the national level. They deserve just about any name thrown at them. Glad you, a Hillary supporter??????, have taken to watching polls so closely now that the primaries are over. Keep watching them....

Talk about the "Axis of Evil" or are these four lost dwarfs from Snow White?...short bus, angry, horny and flipper?
Why Americans sticks to these clowns ? In worlds eyes even Putin looks more like a Russian Kennedy who takes care of his people. Vote these egoistic multi millionaires and the US image will further decay.
This will be the lowest rated T.V. show in history. What headliners!!!!!
A disgrace to the nation and the world, a force of evil, 9-11 poster boy, and a f*&%ing loose cannon who has obviously forgotten about his heritage.
Am I the only one noticing a consistent theme from the Obama supporters? Why is it that anyone who doesn't think he's simply the greatest thing ever is branded an uninformed idiot/? Maybe, just maybe, those of us who don't support him are doing so because of his platforms (or lack thereof) rather than because we're the sheep of the Republican party. Are the Democrats really that much better? Really? I've met plenty of long-time Dem supporters who will not vote for Obama, with reasons to back it up. Are they uninformed idiots being led around by the Repubs too?
I'm a big fan of political divisions – we need them to bring contrasting views that can then be debated through logic. However, these divisions are worthless and divisive if we revert to the schoolyard ideals of "I think this, and you're a poopy-head if you disagree." This kind of "debate" serves no purpose but to make the other side unwilling to hear your future arguments no matter how well grounded they may be. The vast majority of the comments I see do nothing to further our collective goals, make sound arguments, or solve issues through thoughtful discourse. It is regrettable to say the least.
It's also tiring to see people create a doomsday scenario for one candidate while acting like life will just be rosy all of a sudden if we elect the other. This country has issues – issues that will be best solved through partisan cooperation and will be difficult for whomever is our next Prez. To act as though electing Obama, especially with his lack of experience, would be a panacea is foolish at best and deadly dangerous at worst. Nobody is claiming that McCain will solve all of our woes, so why does Obama get such a large benefit of the doubt? How is it that some people here are so convinced that McCain will find a way to screw up everything imaginable, but can't even entertain the possibility that Obama will have similar issues?
Neither candidate is perfect. Far from. I just wish that people could take a step back and see the bigger picture before they lambast every Republican supporter with knee-jerk accusations of retardation, being easily manipulated, stupidity, etc. Even if you truly believe these things to be true it does not go a long way in convincing others to take another look at your point. A little balance in your views would go a long way in making your points. Thanks.
Maybe if the libs here took all the energy they are using on this forum to spew their hatrid and lies and used it to better the lives of them and their familes, they wouldn't need to rob and steal from all of the hard working moderates and republicans they hate so much.
Only the greedy selfish libs could show so much hatrid toward those who pay for their lives. As the lib goes to forclosure on a house they could never afford, runs up tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt, and continues to purchase things they cannot afford, hard working moderates and republicans will be working hard to once again pay for your idiocy and selfishness.
Funny how the takers are so hateful against those who are giving, while the givers are so respectful of the hateful takers. Most Americans are good people so the evil, hateful, selfish libs who have not an ounce of morals, honesty, or resonsibility will once again be defeated. Which is probably what they want anyway, a lib really is nothing without its crying, lying, and victimhood.
NoMcsame: If you think this country is in bad shape you haven't seen anything yet. If Obama gets elected this country will be in a disaster like you never seen it before. Obama doesn't know which way the wind is blowing and wouldn't know what to do on day one. He needs all the help he can get and more. His presidency will be in name only and his VP will be making the decisions for him. Harvard graduate? Give me a break.
"" Rick Davis, McCain’s campaign manager, said that the senator wanted the list of speakers to showcase the “diversity” of the Republican Party.""
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ….
Oh noooo..!!
Ha ha ha ha …
This too much… my stomach is going to burst, I am in tears, Oh no… oppps…!!!
At the convention these guys are to speak.. Rick Davis, McCain’s campaign manager, said that the senator wanted the list of speakers to showcase the “diversity” of the Republican Party.
Oh noooo this is what THE REPUBLICANS call DIVERSITY…
As long as americans are struggling trying to keep their homes, paying enormous prices at the pump, poor healthcare system, and the country is in recession – the Republicans will be re-elected to continue the process.
Who would have thunk it? The dumb will be the majority in america
Wow, talk about neo-cons!! The true GOP conservatives get stiffed and ignored at this convention. Good luck with that. The continued hijacking of the Republican party by neo-cons continues. They will continue to make a mockery of what the GOP truly stands for.
Marching out the same old hacks, I see. I imagine the event will sound something like this:
"SEPTEMBER 11" ... "SEPTEMBER 11" ... "SEPTEMBER 11" ... "SEPTEMBER 11" ... "TERRORISTS" ... "TERRORISTS" ... "TERRORISTS" ... "TERRORISTS" ... "TERRORISTS" ... "NUCLEAR WEAPONS" ... "POISON GAS" ... "TORTURE CHAMBERS" ... "HORRIBLE ATROCITIES" ... "WAR ON TERROR" ... "WAR ON TERROR" ... "GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR"
What a pathetic line-up of speakers. Lieberman is the only one with half a brain– and lately I'm even questioning that.
If the GOP conventioneers have any guts at all, they'll boo Bush & Cheney right off the stage for what they've done to this country the last 8 years.
Now all they need is that phony pastor warren to do the benediction. how can he honestly say he's not for mccain, it was so obvious. I have no idea what he was trying to prove with this so call forum, but he should have stayed out of it, it was a joke just like warren is.
Obama
I think John McCain is not aware of public view of ‘NOT IN MY BACK YARD' for off shore drilling and nuclear power.
Where he is going to build nuclear power?
And to take poll from whole country for off shore drilling and published the poll # of 65% for it, does not make sense, Mid American state voters will definitely say YES as they are not affected by off shore drilling.
They should take poll only from coastal state.
"diversity"??? They all say the same thing: Let's bomb every other country, let's have military bases in every country, let's have "victory" in Iraq although we can't define what that is, and let's give big tax breaks to rich people.
Hopefully Leiberman will suffer a major calamity during his speech.
And the band plays on... What a quartet!!! Each of them coming like an overloaded plane (tons baggage).
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! PLEASE STOP THE THIS CRAP OF THE VP WATCH!!!
CAN'T YOU GUYS JUST WAIT FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT?
YOU'VE BEEN REPORTING NONSTOP FOR WEEKS. I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT IS TIRED OF THIS!
Some poor choices, especially considering that McCain now leads in the polls. He should keep distancing himself from Bush & Co.
Maybe people will watch the Republican Convention and finally see how McCain is a third term for Bush.
C'mon, Lieberman. The line-up is you and a bunch of demons from the pits of Hell. Do you really think you belong there?
What a bunch of morons!
hmmm, let's see...
if i were able to drink (i can't because i'm pregnant), i would probably get pretty wasted listening to these guys. drink every time 9/11, iraq, terrorism, or al-qaeda is mentioned and you're drunk before cheney even hits the stage.
a whole lot o'disgusting on that stage. republicans are a shoe-in to lose when you have these cretins as your support-base. should be an entertaining convention, nonetheless.
McCain is like my grandfather who´s never going into the details. In fact it´s to hard for him to understand the complexity of modern societies.
Many Obama supporters who wrote above are haters. Its a pretty good line up...hopefully leading to victory!
McCain '08
To "no thanks"
You're whats wrong with the republican party.
CNN how can you publish this racist comment?
Gulianni's face–the only image I've ever considered tatooing on my rectum.
Will Rudy wear his wig. ????
I'd take any of these guys for President before a day with Obama as President.
Latest Zogby poll has McCain up by 5 points. Looks like Obama will have to go back to doing what he does best...organizing kickball games on the playground.
What a line up of losers and criminals.
But, God forbid we elect Obama because he's black (half)
Lieberman, Cheney, Guiliani, OH MY!
MOST of you are focusing on ONE DAY of the convention, which I look forward to watching. This is going to be a great show and I look forward to many more years with a Republican in the White House.
Obama's inexperience scares me.
Doug... I think I love you
that was very well said
I look at these comments and this is what I gather. There is no Pro-McCain group. Nobody talks about the issues when they discuss McCain. They only talk of his attacks. There is only Obama. There is pro Obama and Anti-Obama and that's all they have to get excited about. I really do wish that the Dems stop playing nice. Because we have a fat target this year in the repug party.
IT'S TIME TO PULL THE TRIGGER AND LET LOOSE OUR NEGATIVITY. We should start talking about what people already know...McCain and his failures as politician, husband and soldier. That's right. He is an enormous failure at all 3.
Yes, I am pro Obama but now, I am feeling Anti McCain. I say, LET HIM HAVE IT! Give him a dose of his own low road medicine and see how he likes it
well it is certainly not a gathering of eagles – looks like a group of individuals who are completely out of touch with the world – like our current leader – just another group on the train wreck lead by Bush/Cheney
As a Democrat I won't be watching their Convention but for entainment sakes make check out President Bush and hope Senator McCain is on late at night and that guarantees I will be asleep within five minutes of him starting his speech.
Hey there were able to get Giuliani. Good thing his schedule was clear that day huh?
Been far too long since we were reminded of 11 Sep 01.
Talk about your B list speaker.
Don't forget to take the BINGO cards with you to the convention McCain.
poor republicans . . . well, I'm sure the media appreciates the republicans hanging in there until Obama wins the election, that way the media can something to talk about.
Rudy Giuliani will deliver the convention’s keynote address? What a crock!!! Now I know why many Republicans will be skipping their convention. I would too.
Obama has my vote.
McCain seems to be doing quite well inspite of the fact that he is supported by such a motley crew (no disrespect intended to the rock group) of so called losers.
There is a site called realclearpolitics.com that has tons of polls, both national and state level. CNN does a good job of poll reporting, but this site seems to specialize in it.
They have a poll of polls that includes 7 national polls and show Obama up buy just +1.3 and two of the seven polls show McCain up.
They also have an electoral map that shows Obama up 228 to 178 for states solid or leaning. But when the toss up states are included based on who has the slight edge, McCain is ahead 274 to 264.
Very very interesting, but not very funny if you are in the Obama camp.
With everyone else bailing out, they may be the only four there, except for McCain of course. I will watch it only because I want to see what sort of image McCain brings and to hear his speech. I think the debates will decide the election once and for all. I am very disappointed in all the negative media coverage Obama is now getting. I am sure they will slam the demo convention as celebrity just to pump up McCain more.
Bush, Cheney, Guiliani and Lieberman hu?
What do you call it when you gather 3 crooks and 1 turncoat in one room at the same time...the GOP convention!!!
Is America this ignorant that they want the same cast of characters to run this country again? I mean is there anything else they can destroy?
Lieberman provides the biggest laugh of them all. This is shameful. I guess Giuliani will talk about 9/11 as usual.
The four horsemen of the apocalypse together for one night only. Will GWB launch the nukes while on stage?
As far as the GOOD OLE BOY LIST someone commented on. Remember it was Howard Dean who made the racist remark that the Republican Party was the White Party. So who else would they invite according to his statement. I guess according to him that makes the democrat party the MINORITY PARTY. I did not know there were so many half white / Black politicians in the democrat party. They need to come out and quite being ashamed and announce theirselves as some of these Obama supporters did by using HUSSIEN as their middle name.
way to go realistic the only thing you left ALL THESE THUGS SHOULD BE BEHIND BARS AND OH TOURCHERED OBAMA 08
i dont mind lieberman or guilianni but cheny and bush should not speak...
they should all 4 be turned over to the iraqi government for trial,as they are responsible for about the same number of innocent iraqi's deaths as saddam, [former puppet for america],was,when they laid responsibility for 9/11 on saddam hussein and used lies to convince americans to invade that country, at the cost 4200 american lives,as well.these four men are awful proud of themselves......america?are you proud of these guys?
President 9-11, Vice-President 9-11, Mayor 9-11, and Senator Droopey Dogg all in one city. Great!
They should throw out those bozos and just have Chuck Norris – the only Republican people listen to...
Ben–
In principle, I agree with your point. I think the informed voter does not claim that Obama will fix all our problems. We say he has a plan to attack the problems in this country and we do not believe that McCain's plans will help us out but rather will continue the failures of the last 8 years.
However, please note that the hatred is coming from both sides. I can't believe the things said on these sites about Obama, his wife, and his supporters. We have a real divide in this country. It was cooked up by Reagan's henchman (ie, Lee Atwater) and continued on through Bush I. The Clintons learned quickly that you have to hit them back and hit them harder (kinda like Sean Connery said in "The Untouchables"). That helped their success. Now, over the last 8 years we have seen Bush and his boys question EVERYONE who does not agree with EVERYTHING they say. And as someone who never trusted Bush, it ticks me off.
Just look at the post from Doug under yours. It blames all of us "libs" for the mess this country is in. Hey Doug, I bought less house than I wanted because I did not want to go into debt. My Republican neighbors on the other hand went whole hog. I have been careful in my car purchases, they kept buying cars. Even with the housing crash, we're OK. My neighbors are way upside down. So, there is no point in painting such a broad stroke that is just typical of right-wing hysteria. Liberals are just as patriotic as your side, we just believe that there is a better America out there that can be responsive to EVERYONE.
Mariann Pepitone – wow, you truly sound like a blind sheep republican. tell me do you still think they had WMD in Iraq or are you willing to accept the truth about how GWB lied to start this war so we could have control of the oil. ANother question, besides brain washing you and telling you how to think, do the repuglicans tell you what to wear also?
Ross Perot said, " After he came home, he walked with a limp, she [Carol McCain] walked with a limp. So he threw her over for a poster girl with big money from Arizona [Cindy McCain, his current wife] and the rest is history."
Now you can see McCain's Good Old American Values. He was a good person when he fought for this country in vietnam but his best friends are oil lobbyist. I guess he changed in his old age. Now he is friends with the likes of Bush & Cheney.
Haha suckers, I'll enjoy the downward spiral after that convention!
the 4 -horsemen of the apocalypse.
Geezers and goons on parade. boy I sure wish I could go.....ya hah ha ha ahah!!!!
Mariann Pepitone – are you lonely, even with all your republican rhetoric to keep you cozy at night? You sure sound it. Bet you listen avidly to Rush, don't cha?
I really hope America tunes in to see what we'll get for electing McCain.
More BUSH. More CHENEY. And add a dose of Giuliani who bombed his own campaign and Lieberman who is as interesting as a pile of mud.
There you have it folks – the convention lineup proves beyond a doubt that the nickname "John McSame" is entirely accurate.
Play the 9-11 drinking game w Rudy! Each time he says it you have to do another shot!
good thing i haven't had lunch yet, because reading this is enough to make me want to toss.
one thing's for sure: they'll be speaking to an empty venue.
How come Rick warren not invited to this convention with his staged interviews?
Good grief.........what a bunch of old farts .....lol !!!!!!!!!!!
I have a question for the RNC. Where is the convention being held? Let me recommend a VFW post. I think it's suitable for your small audience, the speakers of the event, and the candidate himself.
Well, it is better than having the impeached Clintons talking at their convention like the democrats do.
No wonder the world thinks Americans are barbarians without the common sense God gave a bag of hammers.
Slimy Giuliani doesn't scare me. They'll probably have to disinfect the stage when he is done speaking.
Oh my. No wonder so many Republicans aren't showing up! I wouldn't want to be stuck in a room with that bunch of jerks either. I almost pity McCain. Almost.
LOL
The GoP...How funny ... They are spolied little children ...
I'm betting on a 60-40 drubbing of McCain in Nov ...
Modern polling does not count or effectively reach first-time, young, or otherwise....
There is a reason Obama is not worrying ...
Good night McCain ...
When you care enough to get the "very best."..........and by the way, I love you; the check is in the mail............and........
This is the best McCain could come up with?
OR....
maybe these are the only ones willing to participate on his behalf????
Pretty much says how the next 4 years would go if McBush was elected, doesn't it.
What an embarrasment.
Bush, Cheney, Giuliani, Lieberman? ~ Those four guys could knock a buzzard off a manure spreader!
Whoa! Talk about suicidal!
Its over.
How on earth to you project a message of change with that cast of gray beards and fellow travelers?
It screams "If you liked Bush/Cheney you'll love McCain/SameOldSongandDance!
Please sir may we have some more?
This shows who McCain really is. Joe Libermann, McCain, Guilliani, and Bush-Cheney has NO CREDIBILITY. They are all unethical and very highly immoral, the perfect storm for OBAMA is to show the reason we are where we are today. 9-11 is over and Guilliani or McCain althought they will try cannot use it this time, we are over the BS.
"It's time for un cambio–a change."
OBAMA 2008
Just look at his face. He is a crook and very deceptive in my book.
Actually this is a good thing. We can see everyone's reaction at the same time when McCain chooses a pro-life VP. I'll have to record it though, as I will be at Ron Paul's event instead. A real Republican.
Man, what a line-up of liars and frauds. They ought to have Rumsfeld and Rice speak also.
LOSERS!
The rich will rob our land and move to Dubai while us "idiots"
vote in another Republican. We will only have ourselves to blame.
Catholics and Evangelicals, Rove, Hannity, Pat Robertson, voted
for Bush Bush TWICE.
Clintons also run to Dubai. Dubai will pay them anything for one
of Bill's speeches.
Mariann-
You read on the internet that Obama was born in Kenya and a false birth certificate was filed in Hawaii. Guess if it was on the internet it must be true.
Did the website have the words "Fox News" in it?
If you have questions, go to Snopes or FactCheck and get the real story.
Amazing how Obama can't close the deal on McCain with THAT lineup headlining the GOP convention. I guess 7+ years of suffering just isn't enough for some people.
Giuliani is the keynote speaker? I'm a bit confused because he does not follow the Republican party plank down the line–he's all over the place on the issues. Is this just an example of how the Republican party, once so unified, has lost its direction and is fracturing?
"You should have nominated Ron Paul. You didn't. Nice knowing you."
Tannim, you have no idea how true that statement is! But Paul won't be controlled and the RNC is run by people who really, really like control. Ron Paul as the republican nominee would have given the DNC heart palpitations. As it is, the RNC is hoping their candidate doesn't have a heart attack before the last week of January, 2009.
THE MYTHICAL FOUR HORSEMAN OF THE APOCALYPSE ARE NOW A REALITY.
Don't think my heart can take that much excitement.
The new "Four Stooges" of the 21st century!
I'll watch their convention just for the hell of it. I need a good laugh!
@Kelby from Houston, TX...thanx i agree
PLEASE pick Lieberman. You KNOW you want to. And when did Limbaugh become RNC chairman? I missed that part.
Am I the only person who sees the humor in the Republican's trying to label Obama a 'star'? They put Ronald Regan, a B movie actor, in the White House and Arnie would be next after his California Governorship if they could get the law changed. There has been 2 bills submitted to change the law that the President has to be a natural citizen.
to Enlightened Voter -– you need to get your facts straight.
The main stream media barely said anything about the 5 tons of nuclear grade yellow cake that was found in Iraq the other year that was move to the US for disposal this year. And they also failed to mention the different nerve gases that were disposed of there.
And I guess that you don't consider the genocide of hundreds of thousands of their own people ( men, women, children ) anything to worry about either.
Oh, and just remember that this war could never have happened without the democratic vote. And Obama was still in state politics at the time, not federal, when that occurred.
Are these all the republicans? Where are the repubs that will be re-elected. Should'nt they be putting their best foot forward at the convention?
Peter;
You are far too intelligent to post on this blog.
Response to Ben,
I agree that knee jerk support for Obama is disturbing. I think this particular board is visited primarily by Democrats and Obama supporters. However, I'm sure you could go to other boards and find the opposite is true, namely, Republican knee jerks who hate Obama. (Example: look at "Doug, New Jersey" just below your post.)
What I find just as bothersome is the constant claim that Obama is inexperienced or an "empty suit". These comments are almost universally made by people who voted for Bush in 2000 with no similar concern back then. Ironically these same people had a chance to vote for McCain instead of Bush. It appears that "inexperience" is a selective outrage that Republicans use only when the person in question is a Democrat. I believe that's called hypocrisy.
Sorry Peter but your made up story cannot counter the undeniable facts clearly shown when you break down the red and blue counties of the 2000 and 2004 election. Study after study that shows conservatives give a much higher percentage of their wealth to charity than liberals is just some added icing for this fact cake which is sure to cause you some well needed indigestion from all the O-bahhh-ma kool air you have been guzzling.
Bush, Cheney, Giuliani, Lieberman speaking at the RNC? Sounds like all the old fogies will come together there. Wonder if they will remember not to tick McCain off or he will knock them out of their wheelchairs. Maybe the 4 of them will be able to find jobs in China.
I am sure many of the Lieberman voters are wishing they had picked someone else. Oh... and notice that all of the headliners we hear about are all old white men.
I can't wait for Caroline Kennedy to tell us how prepared she is to be Vice President because she's a Lawyer–and once lived in the White House.
All politicians are old, young, or wierd.
Reality is: what are the goals/objectives of those politicians–and do they have the wisdom and common sense to handle the job.
Obama/Kennedy–will be the blind leading the blinder.
Mariann Pepitone August 20th, 2008 1:33 pm ET
I think your comment speaks for itself. Internet lies and obvious hatred. I strongly suspect you are exactly what you accuse Obama of being.
Doug:
I guess we should all love the cons as much as you love the "libs."
Also, it's h-a-t-r-e-d. You should know. And your thinly-veiled racism is showing.
SO WHAT
Only two Senator to speak and no congressman at the Republican National Convention the you got the rest
Lieberman???? i understand the others, but Lieberman???? He was the Democratic VP candidate and is independent now...and he is speaking at the GOP convention? Being a visible supporter is one thing actually giving a speech at the convention is another. Has the RNC lost their minds?
No, I don't listen to Rush, or Franken, or Olberman, or any of the other blowhards who tell you what to think. I can actually do that for myself, despite the many slanted media outlets that try to sway opinion towards whichever side they support. Thank you, Candy West Virginia, for helping to illustrate my point so perfectly with your immature jab at Ms. Pepitone – what a brilliant comment! The fact that your post is so bereft of anything worthwhile just helps to further my point that loud screaming does very little when you have nothing to say. I'd suggest that you actually try to add something to the conversation. Try not to hurt yourself...
I am an immigrant who left my own country for a better futur of my children ,they studied hard they all became doctors and engineers
but ,now I think what ever the whole family done was going no where
The mess these politicians!!!!!! as republicans are making to empty our pockets and full their own Bank accounts make me sad and worry about my childrens future ,they are Bunch of Gagsters in a country with people who have no knowlege of reality ,I THINK American dont care anymore about their children and who is taking care of them Bush ,Mccaine ,cheney and Liberman let them play with our destiney again ,they win and we loose.
Oh yeah, I really love the "diversity" being shown at this convention....a bunch of old white men, followed by even older white, rich men with a sprinkling of super rich white women and one Black man.
GOP = Good Ol' boys Party!!!
Hey, Lieberman, how do you go from being the veep candidate to a total turncoat in eight short years?
Now there are 6 reasons to avoid watching this so-called event. The 4 named in the article, the moron Bush and McBush. Yecch! Maybe they'll finally explain the reasoning behing gutting the Constitution. Yeah.....right!
Response to Peter (CA),
I was writing my post when you had already posted yours. We seem to have a similar opinion regarding "Doug, New Jersey". There are fanatical, reflexive knee jerks on both sides. None of their posts are worth reading.
I laugh at you EDDIE from town and say to you "I never take it off"you stupid Limbaugh lemming.
Mayor Giuliani............don't you listen??? Didn't I told you not to show your face anymore?? One minute you wanna be cool and think is O.K, there's no problem. Let me tell you something...there is a problem! And the problem is you showing your face and me telling you not to show your face anymore!! You think is cool playing around, huh?! Let me tell you something, it ain't cool for Yankee fans and myself...
Get your fate hatin face out of here!!
I'll watch only if Rudy wears one of his dresses.
But you know what? Since you don't listen and the GOP think is "cool" you being there, maybe they'll learn their lesson..........the HARD WAY!!!
Lets see Chaney the defacto back room president,Rudy Giuliani the sneak out the manson at 3AM to visit his mistress while his wife was asleep, Liberman I am confuse which party I belong to, I know Israel party and Bush need I say more. Should be an interesting convention to avoid.
