Hey, texas Dem Hiilary supporter: can you spell "Supreme Court Nominee?"

Here Here REP. these are certaintly the puppets of the Liberal Media I cannot believe how we can call ourselves Americans and and call our country the land of opportunity and yet try to destroy a person and her family without allowing her the benefit of the doubt.

Doubt the Media has created because they were not informed first or made part of the vetting process get over it people start thinking for yourselves listen whith your hearts learn to discern and don't just be parrots repeating everything the media feeds you.

Can you not plainly see that the media has nothing good to say about anybody they do not support ? They ultimately decide what or who gets accepted . they don't even respect the one canidate they support i.e. Senator obama instructed them not to mess with the family, but the media keeps spewing the poison out there in hopes that the parrots and ignorant that cannot think for themselves will run with it and hopefully spread the poison. YOU HAVE BEEN BITTEN !

They could of found someone a little more inspiring to sing The National Anthem. He sounded off tune at certain points. Not a very diversed crowd either.

The convention kicks off with not all the facts getting aired. I have sent in verifiable facts (Alaska Daily News, CBS) on Palin's radio talk show appearance in which she laughed at personal, vile attacks on a political opponent and her earlier position on the "bridge to nowhere" — and CNN has refused to allow them here in comments, meanwhile comments such as "Wasn't Palin the chick on the van halen video hot for teacher?" are allowed. What;s the deal?

I found it odd through that introductory video showing a picture of Martin Luther King when McCain opposed and wanted to rescind the Holiday. I don't see how this man is going to be able to separate himself from GWB when he has voted 90% of the time with him, is eager to go to war..I can hardly believe that I am saying this , but as much as I do not care for Bush, if it came down only between him and McCain, I would vote for Bush anyday.

This convention is all fluff. They are not talking about the mess the housing market is in or the multiple wars we are in. They are talking about adopting kids and stuff like that, and do not get me wrong I have adopted brothers and sisters that I love very much, but adopting kids will not fix the housing market for millions and millions of people nor will it shed light on the multiple wars we are currently in right now. Being enlightened and wealthy are great but when you lose sight of your brothers plight is where you need to be careful. This guy picks his veep on the hopes that controvesy will create a rallying around him, but he forgot to consider what will happen if he wins. What happens if he goes down for what ever reason.

texas DEM September 2nd, 2008 7:56 pm ET

as a clinton democrat, i hope republicans win.

HRC 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
***************************************************************

Texas Dem if you believe in what Hillary believes in. You would vote for Obama. Little differences politically.

I am a Democrat and will vote for a DEMOCRAT. I voted for Kerry and I do not like him but he is better then Bush. If you vote for MCcain you just took a step backwards. BY THE WAY THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A CLINTON DEMOCRAT. THAT PARTY DOES NOT EXIST.

This is so borring… to watch… I will go to bed.. Last week I waht the democrat party convention and me and my husbunf for 62 years we had so much fun. Now we both t hink that McSame , is too old because he try to make you believe that he is the twin of Jefferson. What a nut. Good night

The simple fact is that the Republicas are attempting to formulate a vision as a party vested in the American Publics intrest, as over the two election have been very disappointed to see it has no intrest in serving the GOOD of the popular oppinion and wants. This war is a travesty. I am not opposed to the sevice men of which serve their comapny I am questioning their commanders and the leaders of the country who make our service men and women loose their limbs and lives for over 2000 years of the status quo of the Middle East. We have forced democracy and Bush and his cabnet have made fortunes off of the lives of thousands of service men and women. They have completely forgot that their office exist to serve the people of the United States not to act as a dictator McCain will only enforce a false sence of the US needing to continue to maintain its WAR effort, Obama can implement the numerous possitive plans propossed if the MILTARY wasn't spending 3 BILLION per month financing a useless war. McCain has no clue about what the real America is he is in the 5% of wealth and our sons and daughter willcontinue to loose limbs, we will continue to have our homes devalued and forclosures will continue to mount, and the US will continue to go broke at the hands of the Sons of Bush and his one way thinking and total lack of consideration for the American people he states he looks out for, If McCain has the view of Bush we are doomed to endure another 4 years of nothingness America Wake Up we need change and MCcain isn't it a new face with the same insides.

I see that the republican's agenda is to hide behind the skirt of a Woman and behind the little kids he have speaking on his behalf right now during the convention. The big bad war monger is hiding behind the Women and children. Sounds like a mouse to me!

This just in from the news desk: Pat Boone is at the convention!!!! OMG Pat Boone? Was he relevent even in the 50's? My god this convention looks like an add for the clapper or a med alert! McCain you could at least be somewhat hip and get a Rock n Roller from the 50's and not some loser like Boone……oh wait, I get it Chuck Berry or anyone else that could rock does not want to be seen with you!

Please is there any other news to report!!!! Anything but this convention

I am a middle aged white guy and find it apalling that someone would find me a problem for this country. I have paid my taxes and I am proud of my country. Why is that a problem?
I have seen hatred on this site from the Dems. I can't believe it . They are supposed to be social reformers. When the people on this site spit their venom I just shake my head and think what is wrong with these people?
Obama has no policies that will help this country. His policies will spell economic disaster.
Don't worry about a pregnant teenager. Think about what BHO will do to wreck this country.

McCain/Palin 08

Hold on Excuse me!
The Republicans and McCain's campgian are saying " Country First" are they saying Obama would not put the country first? I'm coming after them now, im attacking McCain on everything he has said.

Yeah they took off their American hats and put back on the American hating republican hats

Kicks off? As in "dies"?

Candy,

John McCain has canceled his appearance with Larry King because he is furious about CNN's Campbell Brown asking Tucker Bounds a question that the man was completely at a loss to answer.

A simple question, really, about Palin in response to Tucker's "smoke and mirrors" attempts to make Palin appear to be more experienced than she is.

Campbell asked Tucker to tell her just one thing that Palin had done as commander-in-chief of the Alaska National Guard. Tucker floundered, attempted to redirect the dialogue, but Campbell stayed focused and on point.

McCain is quickly angered, reckless, and impulsive. And, he is a very vindictive man! We already know this in Arizona! When is the rest of the country going to understand?

What kind of president would he make? One who would do everything he could to control the national media, and the minds and lives of the American people.

Pastor Rick Warren was discussing evil in the world with McCain, and didn't realize that he was in its very presence!

Oh, let me guess how the convention goes:

National Security: Yes, 9/11 happened on our watch, but nothing since. We must be doing it right!

Foreign Policy: We will kick [insert country name] butt if they don't play ball. (Also known as the bomb,bomb, bomb Iran policy.)

Energy Policy: drill [insert place] + oh yeah, that wind stuff is pretty good too if you don't harm the view from the "cottage."

Economy: It really works best when we ensure the wealthy keep more of their money. Trust us, you other people will be better off. We know best.

Social Policy: God's will be done [sotto voce -unto you (insert your category of heathen)]

Who cares really

My mistake too

Hurricane Gustav

If this is the family values, partiotism and service the republican party is standing for.. I better not hang out with my repub friends…nor let thier kids come near mine…

People now is the time to stand up and to make a stand against all that the Republicans are doing and have done to this great country .

We truly have a chance to get our country back by supporting/voting for Obama/Biden and all Democrats running this time.

Our children's future and our own depends on us doing the right thing this time by voting for Obama/Biden and other democrats.

Country First — Since when?

McCain and the Bush Administration have done everything in their power to subjucate the Constitution and this country over the past 8 years with the full support of the Republican congressional representatives.

Throw all the bums out!!!

If Mrs.Palin"s 20 months of executive experience means she has more experince than her Democratic rivals does that mean she also have more executive experience than John McCain ?

Looks like a party whose time has come…

You could of saved money by just replaying the 2000/2004 Bush/convention films. I've been suffering from insomnia so these next couple of days should help me get the sleep I need.

This Convention Is Lame! This Was The First Time In My Life I Have Ever Turned Down The T V When Someone Sang The National Anthem!

This should be good, how is McCrypt going even PRETEND to be concerned about national security when he nominates the Clampett Clan as a VP?

Candy, I will wait and get Cliff Note version from you tomorrow,
because your paid to stay awake and endure it!

wow…

This convention reminds me of one of those cheezy youth retreats I used to go to when I was younger, except in this convention, there are few women and lots of old people.

i'm not watching that show

After New Hampshire Primaries report
I wish This GOP Convention should be the best for you
Best of Luck Candy Crowley
Life long democrat and Hillary strong supporter will vote for Mc Cain
Hillary 2012 /Mc Cain/Palin2008

I am really dissapointed with Kyra Phillips of CNN.Yesterday, she was reporting on how Sarah Palin was against contraceptives and condoms in Alaska and Bill Bennet got visibly angry on t.v. Today,she totally strayed from that message of anti- condoms by Palin in her reporting and even made remarks that showed she was trying to please Bill Bennet.That is journalism at its lowest.

Candy did you happen to notice that while the RNC video was just shown, there was hardly any applause when Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King's pictures were displayed. However once Ronald Regan's picture appeared the crowd went crazy. Not to mention like the rest of the bloggers here have stated there his barely a speck a of diversity in the crowd. Honestly finding someone who is a minority in that crowd is harder than finding a needle in a haystack. Then only diverse Republican I've seen so far at the convention is Amy Holmes. Oh wait she's in New York…

The Surge-The Surge-The Surge
That's All He Knows.

They Say Sen. Obama Played The Race Card, Which He Didn't.

So The'll Play The Sexist Card! Tissue-Tissue-Tissue!

Country First Video

Wow I just watched the republican convention Country First Video how nice, that it only showed Black people enslave and Martin Luther king mug shot with his process number hanging around his neck this just confirms that this how they see us as a person, Once again they have shown me why it’s hard to be black in America

Been doing some research on Palin and the incredible amount of ear marks she got for her term as mayor that give her part of her over exaggerated experience.Sot of goes against MCCain/Palin as mavericks and reformers.I can only see a bunch of Rebublicans with foot in mouth disease after this convention of lies starting with "Country First" which is a complete lie and offensive to anyones intellegence.Been blogging with real Hillary supporters and pretty hard to find a true Dem that would allow ruin the country by allowing Palin to become President and that is truly what you McCain voters will be voting for in the end.

That opening photo montage was nice…but why were there only two blacks in it….and one of those was a black man's a mugshot (MLK).

The white "American Hero's" where shown standing tall & proud.
Dr. King looked like a convict.

It was odd.

Todd Palin, husband of Sarah, was a member of the secessionist Alaska Independence Party from 1995 through 2002. That's the information we just got from the Alaska Division of elections.

Probably not coincidentally, 2002 was the first time Sarah Palin ran for statewide office in Alaska.

Hollywood couldn't have dreamed of a script like this. McCain first major decision,and he picks an extreme canidate who's husband want's to succeed From the union. "Country First" lol

WHO CARES!! MORE TALKING POINT FOR BIG BUSINESS AND THE RICH.

"as a clinton democrat, i hope republicans win.

HRC 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Hey Tex, If McCain becomes Prez, you'd better hope and pray that there is a country left to vote for anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Country First???? Which country are they talking about?

What about secession of Alaska, Freedom for Iraqis, Dubai and Saudi Princes making policy for the US?

All examples of the GOP putting 'Country First'.

I just saw Donna Brazile reporting for CNN from the RNC. I just turned CNN off. Why is she there and on the air? I thought Larry King was having the democratic response? CNN is democratic and biased. Always has been. Aren't there enough liberal, democratic programs on the airwaves now.

Donna Brazille, apparently didn't notice that after all the cheering, I heard no cheering when the picture of MLK Jr. came on. Doesn't that saying somithing about the Republicans!

I'm a white woman and I resent this lack .

There are only 36 Black delegates!

who was that guy that said he wanted it to rain Biblical preportion on Obamas convention. Be careful what you pray for . See how it rain on the GOP convention . Crama is something that we will all deal with if we wish something on someone else. So deal with it.

the more that Democrats, the party I belonged to for 30 years, trash this woman for being a working mother, the more inclined I am to vote for her. I think the Obama line of demeaning women is contrary to everything I was taught as a Democrat. I was going to write HIllary Clinton in, because I couldn't stomach voting for Obama after his treatment of Hillary, now they are repeating the sexist treatment on this woman. What woman can vote for Obama, with the way he demeans women is a mystery to me. Hint to Obama, you can be a working mother and be a good mother, your new talking point is disgusting.

If Obama looses because of Hillary Supporters I'll vote Republican in 2012. And we'll keep going round and round while the Repubilcans enjoy 16 yrs of power.

texas DEM September 2nd, 2008 7:56 pm ET

as a clinton democrat, i hope republicans win.

HRC 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**********************************************************************

How dumb are you to put your feelings first instead of country? Well .. I guess dumb people vote for dumb people only….

Texas DEM. You are lying, and we are not fooled. Stop with the pathetic attempts. Nobody who respected Clinton in the least would vote for this pathetic ticket.

A truly pissed off Clinton Democrat simply would not vote.

Be proud of what you are: A Texas Republican trying to mess with the Democrats.

Wow.
The room looks just like the ninth circle of hell as described in "Dante's Inferno".

I guess Nostradamus wasn't the only one who could get visions of the future….

I cannot believe McCain will stress National Security in the south but is quick to chose a woman who is as pregnant as her kids. Am I the only Southerner against this? I am not against women, I am pro Life, and believe Bush is not so bad. That being said, the answer for these wars is not the governor from Alaska. However, the party needs to reach out to the ones who have been with them all along, the Southerners.

WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!!!

An independent man who thinks for himself.

Well, since John McCain choose Joe Liberman for his running mate and ended up with sarah Palin. doesn't sound like he thinks for himself. He already was bullied into his 2nd choice. WHAT A MAVERICK..

Wait… forgot, there will be women also… most likely the wives/girlfriends/daughters of the sea of middle-aged and old white guys.

I am watching the RNC convention on TV, It seem to the republican party is ONLY the elite, the majority, and the rich. What I observed was that it not diverse like the DNC.

is it just me or: do they now all wanna sound like Barack Obama? "Washington is broke", "we need change" and so on???? Are they really that much panicking and insane? oh boy, nothing, absolutely nothing is to cheap for these Clowns…
GO OBAMA/BIDEN 2008!!

GEE….where's the diversity among his followers???

Country first, are you kidding? The Republicans put themselves and their interests first. They have such a double standard with their "test of experience" that a person, Gov. of a state not much larger than Austin, TX, who has been in that position for 20 months, is the be all, end all as the Vice-president a heart beat away from the Presidency. Palin fits right in by the misuse of her power to fire her brother-in-law. She took a chapter from Karl Rove/GWBush and company. What a loser team the Republicans have for this next fou years!

YAAAWWWNNN…. I'd rather watch reruns of the Lawrence Welk show on "13 inch "black & white TV with no antenna..

Barack The Vote!!!

Where are the African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, Native Americans - well any ethnic group. Aren't they a part of this country also?

The comments in here sound like what I heard on CNN on tv "when I used to watch it", I wonder how many others you lost? Keep it up, but don't dare use the commercial saying you're fair and unbiased any more. You ruined that with this campaign. Not to mention making the F news channel actually look better than you "for the first time in my life"

Governor Palin's speech is being written for her so doesn't that mean that all she's really capable of is reading a teleprompter?

Get ready to see a sea of middle-aged and old white guys with some token minority folks sprinkled in to show that they're an "inclusive" party… may want to keep track of who they show close-ups of on TV. Most likely will be small group of the same people for when they need to show a Hispanic person… and an Asian person… and an African American person…

Texas DEM, you can't be a Clinton Democrat and hope the Republicans win. The Republicans views are completely different than Clinton's.

Whoops. I thought that said "more lies" when I read it. More ties, excuse me. I thought more lies was probably closer to right.

As a Hillary supportor outraged that Palin expects me to vote for her because she is a female. Who is the women anyway?!?

IF IT WAS COUNTRY FIRST. YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT WHEN YOU PICKED YOUR V.P. AND AS FOR YOU TEXAS DEM YOU ARE NO DEMOCRAT, YOU ARE AN IDIOT.

I told a friend I was going home to watch an episode of MAD MEN.

They thought I was making a joke about the Republican convention.

Ha!

i wonder if Colin Powell is speaking tonight…oh yeah i forgot he is voting for Obama

Wolf Obama Blitzer's love affair with Obama is tainting his viability as CNN's convention coorespondent. He should not be there. He wants the Democrats to succeed. It is so obvious. Shame on CNN for allowing this.

Eric Herget
Little Rock

Meaningless convention; John McCain and Palin (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/02/palins-church-may-have-sh_n_123205.html) do not care about all the citizens in the US.

while they're kickin it off, we should be kickin em out!

I am watching CNN and I am baffled by Campbell Brown’s accusatory questions.
This is the Republican National Conventions first day and all Wolf and Brown are doing is making negative comments and already reading the obituary of the RNC.
You are not suited to offer America a balanced view of what the facts are.
You are biased and can no longer be trusted CNN.

You are not the best political team on TV.

Wake me up when it's over.

RNC is a crock of crap. It's boring. They have boring speakers, boring music and boring spirit. Ms. Palin is supposed to have so much magic on the floor. It's pathetic. I had to turn the channel. I hear they are going to give her a roaring ovation…I'll catch the highlights tom.

as a clinton democrat, i hope republicans win.

HRC 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it me, or is the whole crowd at the RNC white? There is a huge contrast between the floor of the DNC and the floor of the RNC, it would be nice to hear Wolfe and company comment on these contrasts.

I am also curious, are there any people of color speaking at the RNC?

Now I know why I am not an Evangelical– "I did not sit with liars, and I will not be found among hypocrites" (check with your bible!)

People are missing the boat or main point here–

McCain is easily swept away on his feet by beautiful women. If a woman can wait for you for years to return from war, only to turn around and dump her for a "puppy rich queen" (even to the extent of lying about your age) that says a lot about you as ….
