(6,119 posts)I am watching the MSNBC feed. I was hoping to see Rachel, but instead I am hearing a bunch of horseshit.
"we built this" my ass. The theme of this convention is entirely based on a lie; words that can easily be shown to have been completely taken out of context. amazing.
Terra Alta
(5,158 posts)ironic, since the GOP shows no grace to the poor, sick, incarcerated, and anyone they view as "different". Jesus would be embarrassed they call themselves his followers.

(3,660 posts)Do these people realize how stupid they look.
Of course I am sure Romney ran a very successful lemonade stand and charged twice the going rate. He probably also invested his profits to rebuild his community. Oh wait maybe not.

(3,820 posts)a Black-eyed Peas song was playing when he came on stage.
siligut
(12,272 posts)It was the look in his eye when he said it and slurred it to sound like "black guy . . . peas". I wouldn't put it past him to have requested that song to play as he was going on stage, so he could have an excuse to be racist.

easy to see why this gang of ghouls picked the sociopath & the psychopath, to lead them to the land of lies & money: anyone else from this aggregation of 'the Expandables' & they'd have to give out rose-colored glasses to every voter in the US, at the polling booths. creeps.

She doesn't need to brag so much about SC either. I used to live there. The place is nice, but they really are the MOST backward State out of our 50!

(1,701 posts)This blatant pandering to women is disgusting in its transparent insincerity. Now we get the story of her and Mitt's tough time when they were first married. I'm sorry, but this is also revolting in her attempt to present them as "just plain folks."
Akoto
(4,266 posts)Old, white, and (probably) rich.
I honestly have to mute the television whenever they speak, because I just find myself yelling at the screen with each blatant lie told. Only when Maddow/Matthews/etc come back on do I listen. I already know it was all BS, I'm just interested in hearing them cut through it.

Go back to wherever you come from you Fat ass Rich Bitch. Im wouldnt be surprised if she has a Stud on the side. How in the hell could Mitt meet her needs, that stick up his ass phoney.
