Obama gave a rocking convention speech for a candidate who'd ultimately go on to lose the White House.

Nothing demoralizes the RW more than being made fun of. Ann Richards brought humor to the scourge that the republican party is. That's why you see so many disparaging slogans about democrats. Rethugs feed off of it. And the reverse is true. They retire to their shells when people make fun of their atrocious ways.

And boy oh boy, do we have ammunition this go around!
