I was watching the republican convention and when Lieberman said "trust me"? How can you do that when he is a turncoat. He went from Democrat Vice presidental canidate to Republican party puppet. They say country first that really means put the rich first. Look at the people at the republican convention. They are yuppies in suits and the privilaged wealthy.

Hey, Rep. Boehner, why don't you take a break, have a cigarette !! You and your Party deserve a break and if you don't think you do, than I know our country needs one from your Party, the Republican Party. So, retire to the back room and maybe you'll run into some lobbyists, who will take good care of you !!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

Last week I saw the media talk alot about a party divided in denver, and as i watch the republicans there is a since that there is a bigger division than what the media is reporting. I did't know that rep.Ron Paul had a convention this week, and it looks to be just as big as the republican convention. There is alot more enthusiasm in there convention than in the repubican convention. I'm wondering why the media trying to push this story like they did last week.

As the convention comes to order, they should contemplate the character of their VP nominee, as reflected in the Alaska Daily News article commenting on her laughing at personal and vile attacks on political opponent Lyda Green.

I'm bored to tears watching this RNC so I am relying on political ticker in between Family Guy. I don't feel that energy and hopefulness grab my spirit like I did with the DNC. I was hooked from the first moment. This seems like a convention that totally suits McCain's personality-DRY. I am however anxious to see Bush speak. I absolutely find his Bushims hilarious and look forward to seeing many tonight !

This guy looks evil. Oh, that's right, he's in the republican party....makes sense.

What?   September 2nd, 2008 8:45 pm ET

Remember, They want us to react so they can use anything to blame our party candidate and supporters. Don't be FOOLED by their hired hands and make any negative comments.

We should now see it's has BEEN their PLAN from the very first blunder.

If there is any negative comments, it's just them pretending to be DEMOCRATS........WE WILL LET THEM WORD FIGHT AGAINST EACH OTHER...
