I can say with some degree of certainty that Obama will NOT be featuring a debt clock. Nor will there be any mention of 8.3% unemployment, nor the 473,000 net NEGATIVE total jobs in the US since January 2009. He won't mention Afghanistan. Nor Gitmo. Nor the giant trade deficit and debt bill to China. Doubt we'll hear the words Syria.

We will hear some lies about Obamacare, Osama bin Laden, and maybe Lily Ledbetter. can you really have a 3 days convention based on 3 total accomplishments, one of which anyone would have done, and one of which is actually a huge mistake?

We shall see...

This convention will be about hate mongering, fear mongering, name-calling, the usual liberal talking points, and the first words out of Biden's mouth will be "Hello Virginia!"

Seriously? I can't tell if you're joking or not..

[suitanim]

Here's the thing.
Been giving this some thought, and I think I've figured out what the core problem of this election is. Obama's campaign is all about (through ANY means necessary, truth be damned) that Romney is a bad person, and, although successful in everything he's ever done, will be a bad president because of it. Romney's campaign, on the other hand, has said many times that Obama is a nice enough guy, just a bad President, and, unlike in Romney's case where failure was rare, Obama's whole Presidency is evidence of the truth of that statement. The problem is, there is actually almost no evidence that Romney's character deserves to be assassinated. The other thing is, if you had $100,000 and you wanted to invest it, honestly, HONESTLY, which of these two dudes would you trust with the money, and which do you think would return the most on that investment?

So I think the DNC convention will be more of the same. While the GOP has attacked Obama's failure, the Dems will attack Romney the man. It's unfair, because by any measure, Romney is a more successful person, almost certainly more moral, DEFINITELY more humble, and probably pound-for-pound a much better PERSON than Obama is. I mean, if you look at just jobs creation, it's quite possible that Romney in his tenure at Bain actually created more net positive jobs than Obama has at the helm of the powerful Country in the World. Romney CERTAINLY was responsible for a lot less job losses. If Romney created even half the net jobs he says he did, (50,000), he still has Obama crushed, because according to the US dept of Labor stats, there are 473,000 LESS Americans working as of June 2012 then there were in January '09.

Romney jobs (net): +50,000
Obama jobs (net): -473,000

I'm fully expecting The Dems to a get some wacko liberal comic to do a meme routine with an empty chair in answer to the Eastwood routine.

[stillers4me]

Talk about spin!


After a week of withering attacks on President Obama's fiscal record, top Democrats on Sunday defended the president's plans for shaving down the deficit -- but said balancing the budget now would actually be a bad idea.




College students from across North Carolina will arrive in Charlotte by the busload. Same with members of predominantly black churches in neighboring South Carolina.
Their goal: help fill a 74,000-seat outdoor stadium to capacity when President Obama accepts the Democratic nomination Thursday night


Elena Botella, a student at Duke University and president of the College Democrats of North Carolina, said her school was busing 100 students to the speech.
Lonnie Randolph, the president of the South Carolina chapter of the NAACP, said several large black churches in his state are planning to send busloads of members on Thursday to watch the president's speech.





Thursday's event is certain to draw comparisons to 2008, when Obama accepted the Democratic nomination before a capacity crowd at an 84,000-seat stadium in Denver. There was little concern back then over whether Obama would fill the stadium, in part because he was easily attracting tens of thousands of people to his campaign rallies across the country.
This time around, Obama's crowds are far smaller. He drew his biggest audience at his campaign kick-off rally in May, a 14,000-person crowd at Ohio State University. About 13,000 people attended Obama's rally at the University of Colorado in Boulder Sunday. The campaign says the size of Obama's events this summer have purposely been kept low. Large rallies are more expensive and security requirements are more intense for a sitting president than a candidate.

What is really pathetic is that they buy into all the propoganda! America's youth want their lalaland and they actually beleive the Dems will provide it. In Lalaland you get free healthcare, free condoms to slut around and if the condom breaks you get free abortions, no to low interest student loans, and more money for much less work. I am sad to say but the days of personal responsibility, and also thinking and researching information on your own, are dying faster than I can blink my eye lids.

[ALLD]

I like how the democrats blame Bush for the failed economy, but Obama receives none of the blame. You cannot have it both ways.

[suitanim]

I may be MORE looking forward to this convention that to the RNC's. I expect to see and hear fantastical tales and extraordinary distortions of biblical proportions. How do you run a convention based on 4 of the worst years in history, and certainly the worst 4 years since the Great Depression? How do you put a positive spin on failure? How do you run 3 days of events on 3 total accomplishments, one of which is actually a complete failure (Obamacare), one of which has a dubious downside (Lily Ledbetter is a bad bill because it allows CURRENT management of companies [even if they have nothing to do with the actions in question] to be sued for actions of former managers), and one of which has undercurrents that actually should shift some credit back to Bush (OBL assassination)?

How do you, in essence, take a giant smelly rotting turd and polish it up enough that people will actually believe that it's not a giant smelly rotting turd?

[suitanim]

In fact, this is what we're going to hear:

"Osama bin laden is dead, and GM is alive!"

Too bad it was Bush's TARP that bailed GM out (and the stock is tanking again, even WITH huge governmnet contracts), and that the main component of nabbing OBL came WAAAAAY back in 2007, under Bush, when we discovered who his courier was...but, hey, who's counting? Blame Bush! Hopey's the bestest! Yippee!

Now that I think of it, though....I'm just positive that Obama will give Bush plenty of credit for TARP and the intel necessary to nab OBL.

Romney certainly has created more quality jobs than Obama. Stimulus bullshit jobs last only a matter of months, and at best temporarily stimulate the economy. Romney on the other hand created jobs that led to economic growth in the community.

http://images.craigslist.org/5Nf5Ec5H53M43Jd3N3c94dedf930dafdd188b.jpg

[suitanim]

OK...here we go.

First off, there was Harry Reid, calling for Romney's taxes (again), saying he only released one year ( a lie), and "hinting" that there are improprieties....but, guess what? Harry Reid has NEVER RELEASED A SINGLE YEAR OF HIS OWN TAXES! What a duplicitous hypocrite!

Then we had the governor who took over in Mass. after Romney. Almost every word out of the man's mouth was a lie. Massachusetts was NOT 47th in job growth under Romney. It was 50th when he took office, but was all the way up to 28th when he left. Bear in mind, unemployment was below the national average for him all 4 years, and he didn't have a lot of room to move, since the state was at almost full employment to begin with. 4.7% was his best year, and anything under 5% is basically considered that everyone who wants a job, has a job. He also lied when he said Romney left him with a deficit. Romney had a surplus in the 600-700 billion range in BOTH his last two years in office (after he himself inherited a 3 billion dollar deficit). That was a bald-faced lie as well. He also lied when he said Romney will raise taxes on the Middle Class...actually a whole bunch of these jackasses had the same lie...Romney has already pledged that he would not. In fact, his whole budget is based on expanding the tax base through growth, which is how he can get away with raising no taxes.

A bunch of these clowns demagogue Pell grants as well. All Ryan said was that he would "limit growth". That's not gutting or wrecking the program, it's, well, limiting it's growth. Something almost all areas of our government need to look into.

The governor of Illinois also lied about Romney leaving his state in debt. ALL governors sell bonds for infrastructure, such as fixing bridges, building new roads, etc...Romney actually SLOWED bond debt (the previous administration sold 4 billion in infrastructure bonds, Romney slowed it to 2.7 billion)

Then we had the union stooge fabricating a "Romney government bailout", lying and saying that Romney used tax dollars to pay off Bain debt. What Romney did was negotiate favorable terms when he came back and helped Bain avoid bankruptcy. Basically he cajoled the banks into forgiving some interest payments. Had nothing to do with any tax dollars.

Several of these losers also lied about Medicare. They essentially took the worst numbers from Ryan's OLD PLAN (actually 3 plans ago, since Ryan has since changed it himself, and the Romney plan is also again more generous) and demagogued them to scare grandma. Also (and this REALLY irks me), NOBODY even mentions that if you like the current Medicare, YOU CAN STAY IN IT!!!!! Nobody is destroying or gutting anything. That may be the largest shovel-load these nincompoops shoveled last night in the whole giant stinking truckload of horseshit. There also is no "voucher". The government would pay healthcare companies directly, just as it does now.

Basically, it really WOULD probably have been easier just to point out the like three things said last night that weren't lies, distortions or exaggerations. And WTF was up with Michelle Obama's hair? Couldn't someone have fixed that little wispy thing hanging off the right side of her head. She tries hard not be the "angry black woman", but I bet a certain hair stylist got an earful (and probably a pink slip) after last night...

DNC Almighty Nightmare In Charlotte: Now Dems Put God And Jerusalem Language Back Into The Platform (http://www.steelersuniverse.com/thebrodyfile/archive/2012/09/05/charlotte-democrat-nightmare-now-dems-put-god-and-jerusalem-language.aspx)

This has become a disaster for the Democrats and a boon to the Romney campaign. The DNC has now added God back into their platform language after originally taking it out. They have also added language back in that says Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. When they tried to change the language on the convention floor, there were boos! Oy-gevalt.

Despite the corrections by the Democrats, the Romney campaign can now argue that the Democrats don't know what they believe on two very important topics. They can also argue that the Democrats only did this because of the pushback. That’s true. The Brody File first pointed it out and the media followed, making this a story that the DNC wants to make go away. The problem is it’s not going away. Expect the Romney campaign to push this until Election Day. These last second changes really just make the issue worse and make the Democrat Party look bad.

MSNBC hasn't mentioned Jerusalem yet

By DYLAN BYERS (http://www.politico.com/reporters/DylanByers.html) | 9/5/12 7:05 PM EDT
One widely discussed development in tonight's Democratic convention coverage is the party's decision -- indeed, Obama's decision (http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/09/obama-intervened-on-god-jerusalem-platform-language-134601.html?hp=l1) -- to include "God" in its platform and affirm Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
And yet while CNN and Fox News have discussed the issue frequently, MSNBC has yet to mention it once.
In today's edition of "choose your own adventure (http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2012/08/choose-your-own-adventure-akin-edition-132983.html)" news, the amount of times the word "Jerusalem" was mentioned on each channel between 12 p.m. and 7 p.m. today:

Fox News: 33 times
CNN: 16 times
MSNBC: 0 times

And the hits just keep coming.....



DNC Rejects Christian Gift Baskets
The Democratic National Committee banned dozens of Charlotte churches from distributing gift baskets to delegates because the congregations hold values that are contrary to the party platform, according to local religious leaders.

“They told us our views on women’s rights are contrary to the Democratic party platform,” said David Benham, the lead organizer of the Charlotte714 religious movement. (http://charlotte714.com/)

Charlotte714 is a group of more than 100 churches across the region that mobilized to pray for the Democratic National Convention. More than 9,000 people gathered last Sunday for a time of worship and prayer in advance of the convention.

A gathering of some 200 Muslims praying in Charlotte was given extensive national coverage. The massive Christian received scant coverage.

Benham said the name references an Old Testament passage in 2 Chronicles 7:14 – calling the nation to prayer.
He said 56 churches wanted to “Adopt-a-Delegation.” They put together gift baskets featuring Carolina Pralines and a letter welcoming them to the city and offering assistance in transportation, childcare or spiritual matters.

“We were just trying to display Southern hospitality,” he said. “We wanted them to know we were happy to serve them.”
However, DNC officials conveyed to city leaders that the Christians would not be allowed to present their gift baskets.
“I got a call from the mayor’s office speaking on behalf of the convention and they asked us not to participate,” he said. “They told us our views on women’s rights are contrary to the platform.”

Benham said he was shocked because all the churches involved are mainline denominations ranging from Baptists and Methodists to Assembly of God.

“I was blown away and could not believe it,” he told Fox News.
So instead of gift baskets, Benham asked if they could send welcome letters to the delegates. Again, he said the DNC refused – because the churches hold pro-life values.

“They responded back and said no because our views on women,” he said. “They would not allow it.”
Benham said it is true that all the churches are pro-life – but the baskets did not include a single political or pro-life message. They just wanted to give them regional candies and a welcome letter.

A spokesman for the city of Charlotte referred comments to the DNC. The DNC did not return numerous calls seeking comment.
Benham said it’s no surprise that the Democrats have now removed God from their party platform.

“The Democrats have spit in the face of God they spit in the face of unborn children,” Benham said. “They spit in the face of marriage. They are spitting in God’s face. Americans need to rise up and see to it they have their day and are escorted out of power in this country.”

In spite of the rebuff Benham said there are 18 different groups across the city praying at 7:14 a.m. and 7:14 p.m.

Finally, the supreme lie of this convention, that they "moved tonight's speech because of thunder storms" strains credulity to the breaking point. Does ANYONE believe this blatant fabrication? I heard Stephanie "Joe Soptic" Cutter on NPR this morning extolling the great virtue of honesty, and how important honesty and integrity is to her, the President and the party, then, not 30 seconds later, she was lying through her teeth about this again. The FACT is, there just aren't enough people interested to fill that stadium. The magic of 4 years ago is gone. Even the liberal pop media has got to be holding their noses when they read this obvious and completely transparent fabrication.

Did anyone hear the slip on Fox News when going into the commercial? I think it was Brit Hume that made the mistake thinking he was off air when he said (something like this) "This is the most over-rated political..."?

FACT CHECK: Obama and the phantom peace dividendUpdated: Friday, 07 Sep 2012, 7:26 AM EDT

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama laid claim to a peace dividend that doesn't exist when he told the nation he wants to use money saved by ending wars to build highways, schools and bridges.
The wars were largely financed by borrowing, so there is no ready pile of cash to be diverted to anything else.

The claim was one of several by Obama in his acceptance speech Thursday at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., and by Vice President Joe Biden in earlier remarks that did not match the facts. A look at some of their assertions:
___
OBAMA: "I'll use the money we're no longer spending on war to pay down our debt and put more people back to work — rebuilding roads and bridges, schools and runways. After two wars that have cost us thousands of lives and over a trillion dollars, it's time to do some nation-building right here at home."
THE FACTS: The idea of taking war savings to pay for other programs is budgetary sleight of hand, given that the wars were paid for with increased debt. Obama can essentially "pay down our debt," as he said, by borrowing less now that war is ending. But he still must borrow to do the extra "nation-building" he envisions.
He made a similar statement in his State of the Union address, and it is no less misleading now than in January. And the savings appear to be based at least in part on inflated war spending estimates for future years.
___
OBAMA: "We will reform and strengthen Medicare for the long haul, but we'll do it by reducing the cost of health care, not by asking seniors to pay thousands of dollars more."
THE FACTS: Some of the proposals the Obama administration has floated in budget negotiations with Congress would ask Medicare beneficiaries to pay more. Among them: revamping co-payments and deductibles in ways that could raise costs for retirees and increasing premiums for certain beneficiaries.
Obama even indicated a willingness to consider raising the eligibility age, currently 65, to 67. As word of some of the proposals leaked out, the president faced a backlash from fellow Democrats. He has since said he would not accept Medicare cuts as a part of a deficit reduction deal, unless it also includes higher taxes on the wealthy. Still, some level of increased costs for middle-class and upper-income Medicare recipients is likely to be part of any future deficit reduction deal.
___
OBAMA: "We can help big factories and small businesses double their exports, and if we choose this path, we can create a million new manufacturing jobs in the next four years."
THE FACTS: Obama has claimed an increase of some 500,000 manufacturing jobs over the past 29 months. But this is cherry picking by the president. From the beginning of Obama's term 3 1/2 years ago, manufacturing jobs have declined by more than 500,000, according to the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics. Manufacturing jobs have been on a steady decline for nearly two decades.
Even though there has been a modest uptick in manufacturing jobs this year, unless there is a major turnaround, it seems unlikely that Obama's goal of 1 million new manufacturing jobs can be reached by his target date of 2016.
___
OBAMA: "And now you have a choice: We can give more tax breaks to corporations that ship jobs overseas or we can start rewarding companies that open new plants and train new workers and create new jobs here in the United States of America."
BIDEN: "Gov. Romney believes that in the global economy, it doesn't much matter where American companies put their money or where they create jobs. As a matter of fact, he has a new tax proposal — the territorial tax — that experts say will create 800,000 jobs, all of them overseas."
THE FACTS: Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's proposal is actually aimed at encouraging investment in the U.S., not overseas.
The U.S. currently has a global tax system that is filled with credits, exemptions and deductions that enable many companies to avoid U.S. taxes and provides an incentive for corporations to keep their profits in other countries. Whether Romney's plan would spur investment in the U.S. is debatable, but it's not a plan aimed at dispersing profits abroad.
Experts differ on the impact of a territorial system on employment in the U.S. But Biden's implication that Romney's plan sends jobs abroad is not supported by the expert opinion he cites.
Kimberly Clausing, an economics professor at Reed College in Portland, Ore., said a pure territorial tax system could increase employment in low-tax countries by 800,000. But that did not mean U.S. jobs moving overseas. Clausing later wrote: "My analysis does not speak to the effects on jobs in the United States."
___
OBAMA: "You can choose a future where we reduce our deficit without wrecking our middle class. Independent analysis shows that my plan would cut our deficits by $4 trillion."
THE FACTS: Three years ago, Obama pledged to cut in half the deficit "we inherited"

[suitanim]

by the end of his first term, a mark he's set to miss by a wide margin. The deficit when he took office was $1.2 trillion, and the $800 billion stimulus bill Obama signed soon afterward increased the shortfall to over $1.4 trillion. The White House predicts this year's federal budget deficit will end up at $1.2 trillion, marking the fourth consecutive year of trillion dollar-plus red ink.
Obama's new $4 trillion target over 10 years resets the goalposts with some fancy budget footwork. For one thing, it includes $1 trillion in cuts already signed into law. And it assumes that Congress will pass the administration's plan to raise the capital gains tax, boost taxes on households earning over $250,000 a year and impose a minimum 30 percent tax on incomes above $1 million. It also assumes a reduction in the amount of interest the government must pay on its debt.
___
BIDEN: "After the worst job loss since the Great Depression, we've created 4.5 million private sector jobs in the past 29 months."
THE FACTS: This seems to be a favorite statistic, because many speakers at the convention cited it. But it's misleading — a figure that counts jobs from when the recession reached its trough and employment began to grow again. It excludes jobs lost earlier in Obama's term, and masks the fact that joblessness overall has risen over Obama's term so far.
As well, in the same 29 months that private sector jobs grew by 4.5 million, jobs in the public sector declined by about 500,000, making the net gain in that period about 4 million.
Overall, some 7.5 million jobs were lost during the recession that began in December 2007 in President George W. Bush's term and ended officially in June 2009 with Obama as president.
Never since World War II has the economy been so slow to recover all the jobs lost in a downturn.
___
OBAMA: "Millions of students are paying less for college today because we finally took on a system that wasted billions of taxpayer dollars on banks and lenders."
THE FACTS: "Technically it is true," said Bryan Cook, director of the Center for Policy Analysis at the American Council on Education. "How much of a savings is not clear."
Large increases in federal Pell Grants, GI Bill benefits and the 2009 American Opportunity Tax Credit led to a significant increase in the amount of aid provided to students who qualify for these benefits. The current per year maximum Pell Grant is $5,550 — $900 higher than it was in 2008 for a program that serves more than 9 million students.
Under the Obama administration, Congress passed legislation requiring all federal loans be issued through the Education Department; previously, they were also issued by private lenders. This will also probably mean students pay less in the long term.
___
OBAMA: "In 2014, our longest war will be over."
THE FACTS: Although most U.S. troops will leave Afghanistan by the end of 2014, thousands are likely to stay and continue a U.S. presence for years. There is no telling what fighting they might be drawn into, despite the decision to end the U.S. combat role.
Military leaders and administration officials have not yet said how many will stay, asserting that such decisions are far from being made. But analysts say the U.S. envisions a post-2014 force of as many as 20,000 American troops to continue training the Afghan forces, hunt terrorists and keep watch on Iran and other nations in the region.
___
BIDEN: "What they didn't tell you is that the plan they've put down on paper would immediately cut benefits to more than 30 million seniors already on Medicare. What they didn't tell you is the plan they're proposing would cause Medicare to go bankrupt by 2016."
THE FACTS: Biden wasn't referring to any Medicare plan of Romney or running mate Paul Ryan, but to the consequences of fully repealing Obama's health care law, which is unpopular with seniors even though it has sweetened Medicare in certain ways. A Medicare plan put forward by Ryan in Congress would have no immediate effect because it would apply only to future retirees.
Obama's health care law improved Medicare benefits, adding better coverage for beneficiaries with high prescription costs as well as removing co-pays for a set of preventive benefits. If the law is repealed, those benefits would be lost unless Congress decides otherwise.
Similarly, Romney's promise to restore Obama's $716 billion in Medicare cuts could have unintended consequences for the program. The cuts don't affect seniors directly, instead falling on hospitals, insurers and other service providers. Restoring the higher payments to providers would accelerate the depletion of Medicare's trust fund for inpatient care, from 2024 currently to 2016, unless Congress acts to stave that off.

Question: How did Romney emphatically stating that Jerusalem is the capitol of Israel get so widely reported by the liberal media as a gaffe, but the Democrats changing their platform to include the same language (when Obama's own White House official position is that it's not), then getting booed by more than half the crowd somehow get reported as being a "correction"?
