Elizabeth Warren looks and sounds like the character Marcy from “Married with Children.”

I can hear MA voters laughing from my back porch.

So, thst Jewish knucklehead, Portman is still on, despite seeing her fellow party people booing the Jerusalem inclusion on the DNC platform…..funny that, since she was born in Israel and pretty sure she lived there for a while before her parents moved to the US…what an utter idiot…

The overrated idiot actor Natalie Portman never did sound very intelligent in interviews. She’s doing what she thinks will make her seem cool.

Can’t see non-liberal men voting for this snooty fake.

A stretch? More like, in BJ’s own words, “a big fairy tale.” But it’s interesting to see some of the MSM are acknowledging it.

1. It motivated the base, as BJ is good at doing.

2. Factually, it was a big fairy tale.

3. But most significantly, it gives a window into BJ’s view of his party’s weakest points. Through this window you can see a checklist of campaign vulnerabilities. You can go through his speech, point-by-point, and list the points that he feels need shoring up and the points where he thinks they are open to attack.

Did his speeches and support help Gore, Kerry and/or Hillary win?

People may like the guy, but no undecided person trusts him imo. Not to mention, “Trust me, Nobody Could’ve Achieved Obama’s Promises” doesn’t really sound like a winning message to me.

{{{shuddering}}}

I think it worked and re-energized the base as it took on all the economic issues. Now I know that speech was written FOR clinton and he dare not go off into the weeds so his best shot was to go LONG and get glory for himself (which made MO give her Klingon warrior woman stare).

But what worries me now? An article by politico that Romney has gone dark during the DNC convention. I haven’t seen an ad in the middle of the convention for Romney to break it up. So my question becomes now (after reading that politco article) does Romney want to win? Seems he’s getting tired and taking time to talk to one shop owner but not to crowds. I’m worried. As one of the RNC people put it: Romney has to go full out to November 2. He can have all the weekends after that to relax. I sincerely hope this isn’t a religious thing and he’s able to do weekend get out the vote things. The other item in the Politico story said that Romney keeps doing fundraisers. Is he betting on 15 second commercials vs. his personal touch? Paul Ryan and Ann Romney have been stepping up the pace to match O’s appearance rates. Is this just recharging his batteries before the debates in 3 weeks or is something else going on?

President Obama’s acceptance speech tomorrow will have pre-seen labor statistics. They will either cook the books for him or it will show some negative movement and he’ll swivel to counter the bad news in the speech.

If he were around and POTUS when Bill had his shot, Osama would have been left in the ether.

As yet another proof of his dragon slaying abilities, he knocked Hillary off in the primaries.

And Bill is still married to her.

Did anyone else notice Clinton’s hands were trembling throughout his entire speech?

If you knew the snake oil President Clinton was selling as well as he does, your whole body would shake so bad you would chip teeth and hurt your back.

AP Fact Check: Bill Clinton claims of compromise a stretch
9:50 PM, Sep 5, 2012
********************

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s a fact of life in Washington that what one party considers a principled stand, the opposition considers pigheadedness. Compromise? That’s the other guy’s problem.

But when former President Bill Clinton took the stage at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday, he portrayed President Barack Obama as a pragmatic compromiser who has been stymied at every turn by Republicans. There was no mention of the role that the president and the Democrats have played in grinding compromise to a halt on some of the most important issues facing the country.

That was among the lines by the former president and others Wednesday that either cherry-picked facts or mischaracterized the opposition.

A look at some of them:
=======================

CLINTON:
********

“When times are tough, constant conflict may be good politics but in the real world, cooperation works better. …Unfortunately, the faction that now dominates the Republican Party doesn’t see it that way. They think government is the enemy and compromise is weakness. One of the main reasons America should re-elect President Obama is that he is still committed to cooperation.”

THE FACTS:
**********

From Clinton’s speech, voters would have no idea that the inflexibility of both parties is to blame for much of the gridlock. Right from the beginning Obama brought in as his first chief of staff Rahm Emmanuel,

a man known for his getting his way, not for getting along.
***********************************************************

One of the more high-profile examples of a deal that fell apart was the outline of a proposed “grand bargain” budget agreement between Obama and House Speaker John Boehner in 2011.

The deal would have required compromise from both sides. It slashed domestic spending more than most Democrats wanted and would have raised some taxes, which most Republicans oppose.

Boehner couldn’t sell the plan to tea party factions in the House or to other conservative activists. And Obama found himself accused of going too far by some Democratic leaders. The deal died before it ever even came up for a vote.

He also mentioned the Capital City of Jerusalem and that people on the right and the left worship the same G0D.

It was a very appropriate Benediction for the few Delegates who stayed until the end.

Good night all!

Did Big Bill speak too long at yet another DNC?

JohnGalt23 on September 6, 2012 at 12:51 AM

Heh…he gave his longest speech yet. It was 50 minutes that droned on and on and on…and kept Dear Leader sitting and steaming behind the stage waiting to come out for the “victory hug” after the speech was over. lol
