They are the reason we are in this mess. The are so ignorant that they want the same, because it is they who are gaining when the rest of us are suffering. As Obama said "we can not take a 10% chance on Mccain". COme on pppl, the man voted 90% with bush. What makes ppl believe that he will be different. The Republicans must accept their mistakes and let the democrats clean up the mess. The first bush came in, clinton cleanend up. The second bush came in and made a big mess, now its Obama and our turn as democrats to come in clean it all up. He proposed 29 policies and the republicans are talking about how they are false "how will you pay for that". End the war in Iraq and invest in the economy. The Iraqis are gaining and the Americans are losing out. Why waist money on a war that we were lied to about. Bring our troops home and lets fix the mess bush/mccain+cheney+disaster have brought to the nation. Republicans count your days, we are moving into the white house. Stop using fear so we can talk about real issues. Mccain knows that using fear is the only way they can win. They did it b4 and they will do it again. We young ppl are going to change things and take back the white house with obama/biden. 4 more months b4 we move in. Bush pack your things coz Obama will b moving in soon rather that later.

Although your tax money is going to pay for both parties' convention security - about $100 million. I simply don't understand why Rush Limbaugh has a problem with Obama having "300" foreign policy advisors. Isn't it a good thing to get as much advice from as many people as possible? Perhaps if Bush had done the same for the last 8 years, we wouldn't be in the mess we are in all over the world right now.

oh, and sarah1 – no. the conventions are funded by the parties through party fundraising. Although your tax money is going to pay for both parties' convention security – about $100 million.

Its the young people that will suffer. The young medium income tax payers is where he will really get his tax increases from.

The backdrop part looks good behind the speaker, the big screens give better views to many of the 80,000 in the crowd (80,000!), and the columns fit the architecture of Washington, which is where this is all leading. The Rethuglicans will pick at anything other than an actual issue, because they know they can't win on those. The set works great in the location it needs to serve.

I know the repubs have been waging a war on science and US history, but do they also know nothing of world history? Columns were designed to create structures larger than life, not for the glory of man, but for the glory of gods. So man would be humble before the gods. And before you deride me for paganism for referring to gods... Columns were also used by the architect of the plaza before St Peters in Rome (the Vatican) in part to embrace those visiting the basilica, but also to emphasize man's size in relation to Almighty God. In contrast, the pyramid like structure McCain will be speaking from (as I heard it described by some commentator on TV) is the ultimate show of hubris. Pyramids were used to enable the Pharaohs, god-like in life and gods in death, to ascend to their rightful place in the stars. So who shows more hubris? The man humble before God? Or the man who believes he's like a god? OK, I've about had enough of all of this "columns are elitist" stuff.
