I liked/loved Michelle Obama and Ted Kennedy's speeches, BUT WHERE'S THE BEEF?
Why are the Democrats not on the attack? Let's call out the Republicans party for the wackos they are. I want attack after attack on McCain/Bush. I'm tired of being on the defensive, it's time to go on offense. You think the Republicans are going to act so passive to the Democrats next week?

TIME TO RAISE SO FUCKING HELL!!! We should have the republicans by their balls and it's time to twist them and rip them off.

1. Have you somehow missed Obama's message? He's the candidate, you know...
Edited on Tue Aug-26-08 05:19 PM by redqueen
So if I were you I wouldn't expect him to stop talking about unity and start going RAMBO! all of a sudden.


Christ... what the everlovin' hell has gotten into people?

3. Democrats may understand Obama's message, but Republicans don't
Yes, it worked during the primaries, but the republicans don't respect it. If you want to win a general election who have to attack, attack, and attack some more.

4. Well by all means, call the campaign and tell them!
I'm sure they'll be very interested to hear your input.

2. You'll never get laid that way
Edited on Tue Aug-26-08 05:20 PM by Jersey Devil
I mean, flowers, a nice dinner, wine, all that stuff is necessary in most cases. You just don't say, "Please to meet you" and pull your pants off.

Thanks for outing yourself as passive aggressive. Now I know I can safely ignore anything you type.

21. Actually, women like CONFIDENCE.
Edited on Tue Aug-26-08 05:41 PM by elkston
Its just that "bad boys" tend to have that in spades, so its easy to miss the core bit of attraction.

Barack is not a bad boy. But he is also not a wimp, does not back down from a challenge, and is full of confidence.

6. Michelle presented a skillfully tactful dismantling of
the made-for-media caricature that McCain and his surrogates have made of her and her family. That speech had a lot of beef in it.

Now do you honestly believe that Ted Kennedy, who is very ill and will die from this cancer, should be expected to expend his energy on any more than receiving the grateful acknowledgement of his party for his life's work.

Tonight I expect to see the long knives drawn and Hillary and Bill had better be waving swords and hurling ninja twirly thingies (can't retrieve the name of those nasty looking little weapons) and they all had better be aimed at McCain.

17. I recall some of the others and they were all the experiences of
other citizens who had interacted with Barack during the course of his life and career, whether personally or professionally. They were testimonials to the type of person he is. They were telling a story of a man who was not the son of privilege or legacy. The stories they told were important in light of the caterwauling we constantly hear about "no one knows about him"--at least the lazy don't.

9. 80+ Million Viewers watching -- i agree with you 100%
There's a lot of people watching and we all know this good boy approach never works (or at least not well at all)...repubs WILL attack every 5-mins so yes i totally agree with you.

lets hope from today forward the convention gets serious on repubs

19. I thought the tone was just right for a first night. We have 3 more nights
where Bush/McCain can be blasted into the stratosphere.

22. I watched Michelle Obama and thought her speech was great
She was introducing herself to voters they may not have known much about her and I thought she was wonderful.

23. Be patient, it's coming. I promise.
We're going to have a few days of feel good. It's necessary. But Biden is going to deliver. And Obama is getting ready to take the gloves off. Tonight and tomorrow night, let's accept this "time for healing". From Thursday on, I think you'll get your street fight.

Where's the beef did so much for Mondale, didn't it?
