I'm watching the McCain speech tonight, and I see several individuals trying to interrupt him. Who here thinks it's right to interfere with the free speech of political candidates, or to try to intimidate delegates who are trying to attend a political gathering, trying to exercises their freedom of assembly.
Anyone?
The Republicans, of course.
How many republicans interupted the speeches at the DNC?
The idiots on the lib fringe were given passes by MSNBC so the story goes on the net. Wouldn't be
surprised if it was true since the MSNBC camera's were all over the protestor (s). If proven, just
another uneeded nail in the coffin of the dying liberal media.
Think about it...the only message they have had for years now is NO MORE BUSH!...
Everything else is just dusted off speeches from Mondale, Humphry and Dukakis...not to mention
Jimmy Carter that most of us would like to forget was ever president if you lived through his "on the job training" and failures. Some of Carters's foreign political leadership (Zbignew) are now advising Obama....some change!
Change you can believe in...not me..you maybe...!

"Amazing, When you have something to back what you say please, by all means provide it...Brezinski as an adviser is bad because?____________________________________________<-----fill in the blank
What speeches are you refering to and please be accurate, I need to know what has been said by Carter, Mondale Humphrey, Dukakis and Obama, one and all????? Do you really believe this, or is this just conversation?
If you do believe it share the quotes....I'd love to see them.
Silver...this wasn't even a "challange". Unlike Obama, Mondale, Humphry, Dukakis and Carter have a "paper trail". He may be an empty suit from Chicago pulling the wool over the eyes of many impressionabe young people,
but he is too clever to put anything in writing Forget about when he was Senator, heck..he voted present 140 times according to Hillary Clinton who was right when she said "he made a speech in 2002"!
OK - Lets get started...
Brezinski as an advisor is bad ....... "since he has a track record of failure when it counted. Carter won the "Peace
Prize" but did not accomplish anything but a photo op at Camp David with the PLO and Israel. The Carter administration allowed America to be humiliated by the forced captivity of our embassy personel and old ZB had no solution...other than talkig via the Swiss...thanks Ziby...but not thanks.
Oh yea.. one other fantastic political coup of the Carter administration...We gave away the Panama Canal earlier than the lease expiration to a corrupt government that Ronnie corrected a few years later. One of the good things ZB did do after the Carter administration was father Meeka...she is terrific and, while still wet behind the ears, is an honest, hard working journalist.
OK - as to Mondale...and please let me know where I am misquoting...With only minor changes this speech could and are being given today by Obama and his sidekick....a guy that has not had a real job since he was 29.
Mondale Acceptance Speech - Democrat Convention 1984
Here is the truth about the future: We are living on borrowed money and borrowed time. These deficits hike interest rates, clobber exports, stunt investment, kill jobs, undermine growth, cheat our kids, and shrink our future.
Whoever is inaugurated in January, the American people will have to pay Mr. Reagan's bills. The budget will be squeezed. Taxes will go up. And anyone who says they won't is not telling the truth to the American people.
I mean business. By the end of my first term, I will reduce the Reagan budget deficit by two-thirds.
Let's tell the truth. It must be done, it must be done. Mr. Reagan will raise taxes, and so will I. He won't tell you. I just did.
There's another difference. When he raises taxes, it won't be done fairly. He will sock it to average-income families again, and leave his rich friends alone. And I won't stand for it. And neither will you and neither will the American people.
To the corporations and freeloaders who play the loopholes or pay no taxes, my message is: Your free ride is over.
To the Congress, my message is: We must cut spending and pay as we go. If you don't hold the line, I will: That's what the veto is for.
Now that's my plan to cut the deficit. Mr. Reagan is keeping his plan secret until after the election. That's not leadership; that's salesmanship. And I think the American people know the difference.
I challenge tonight, I challenge Mr. Reagan to put his plan on the table next to mine - and then let's debate it on national television before the American people. Americans want the truth about the future - not after the election.
When the American economy leads the world, the jobs are here, the prosperity is here for our children. But that's not what's happening today. This is the worst trade year in American history. Three million of our best jobs have gone overseas.
Mr. Reagan has done nothing about it. They have no plan to get our competitive edge back. But we do. We will cut the deficits, reduce interest rates, make our exports affordable, and make America number one again in the world economy.
We will launch a renaissance in education, in science, and learning. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. And this must be the best-educated, best-trained generation in American history. And I will lead our nation forward to the best system that this nation has ever seen. We must do it, we must do it.
It is time for America to have a season of excellence. Parents must turn off that television; students must do their homework; teachers must teach; and America compete. We'll be number one if we follow those rules; let's get with it in America again.
To big companies that send our jobs overseas, my message is: We need those jobs here at home. And our country won't help your business - unless your business helps our country.
To countries that close their markets to us, my message is: We will not be pushed around any more. We will have a president who stands up for American workers and American businesses and American farmers in international trade.

Michael Dukakis - 1988 Acceptance Speech. Here too...."Robin Hood" strikes again...rob from the rich and give to the poor...
A New Era Is About to Begin
My friends, if anyone tells you that the American dream belongs to the privileged few and not to all of us, you tell them that the Reagan era is over and a new era is about to begin.
Because it’s time to raise our sights—to look beyond the cramped ideals and limited ambitions of the past eight years—to recapture the spirit of energy and of confidence and of idealism that John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson inspired a generation ago.
It’s time to meet the challenge of the next American Frontier—the challenge of building an economic future for America that will create good jobs at good wages for every citizen in this land, no matter who they are or where they come from or what the color of their skin.
It’s time to rekindle the American spirit of invention and daring, to exchange voodoo economics for can-do economics, to build the best America by bringing out the best in every American.
It’s time to wake up to the new challenges that face the American family. Time to see that young families in this country are never again forced to choose between the jobs they need and the children they love; time to be sure that parents are never again told no matter how long they work or how hard their child tries, a college education is a right they can’t afford.
It’s time to ask why it is that we have run up more debt in this country in the last eight years than we did in the previous 200; and to make sure it never happens again.
It’s time to understand that the greatest threat to our national security in this hemisphere is not the Sandinistas—it’s the avalanche of drugs that is pouring into this country and poisoning our children.
I don’t think I have to tell any of you how much we Americans expect of ourselves or how much we have a right to expect from those we elect to public office.
Because this election isn’t about ideology. It’s about competence. It’s not about overthrowing governments in Central America. It’s about creating good jobs in middle America.
It’s not about insider trading on Wall Street; it’s about creating opportunity on Main Street.

Do I really have to give you more on Humphry...
Come on now...the democrat party has been...
Tax the rich,
Money for the schools
More governmet programs
More government pandering with money to excite young people to join "peace corp" type
organizations that will indocrinate them in the socialist Big Brother Knows all philsophy of
the Obama's
More government control over our lives..
and on and on....Obama is wanting to take all this to a new level that, should he win, will change
and probably destroy the enterprise known as the United States of America...a democracy that was
successful for two hundred years and than forsake all history and learning for a socialist agenda of
a radical young man from the Midwest.
