I just can't believe it. I have never heard so much contentless featureless "put on a happy face" pap.

I'm listening to Laura now, after listening to Awnold and then Jenna and Barbara. Awnold at least had some content, although admittedly a neoconish sounding message. The Bush family though - sheesh. They make it sound like running a National Convention is nothing more than running a local Rotary Club high school senior honor ceremony.

Guess with all real issues that can change our country for the better off the table though, that's all the Pubbies have to offer us.

[QUOTE=Okiereddust]I just can't believe it. I have never heard so much contentless featureless "put on a happy face" pap. [/QUOTE] It's pretty much "politics as usual" in America. Glitzy lights, pop music, cheesy speeches that sound like a bunch of Hallmark cards read one by one. With a heaping helping of feel-good babyfood for the audience. The Democratic conventions are the same way. It's almost a "seen one, seen 'em all" situation.

I've actually called the GOP asking if they could let Ron Paul, or Tancredo speak for a change. Everytime, they hang up on me with an angry slam.

I stomached all I could the first night of the CONvention for George Dubya WarBush. I couldn't bear to watch Ahnuld suck up and do his Conan the Barbarian war chant for the stupid American masses.

Rudy Guiliani and John McCain were war mongering their Zionist hearts out, so passionately too on the first night. And the Republican party calls these guys the moderates! The message of the Repulicunz is basically: America and Israel are one and the same, and the strongest most righteous countries too, while every other country in the world basically, totally suck. These countries, however, can raise their positive image in the American brainwashed minds according to their level of Zionist committment and to America's War on Terra According To The World Of Dubya.

So basically, countries like France and Germany suck and get booed because their Mid East policies are worlds more even-handed, even bordering on sympathizing(!) with the Palestianians and Muslims, so Rudy Guiliani has free hand to bash those "appeasing" Europeans. And the crowd goes wild!!! France and Germany, you see, have to raise their committment to Zion and sacrifice their young on the altars of Baal in order to win the favor of American-Jewish politicians.

This GOP Convention is nothing but a warmongering, arrogant and deceitful display of faux American machismo while the US, in reality, is actually falling apart and completed dominated and subservient to Israel.

It's enough to make me really sick.

On Monday night, I had to shut off the tube when John McCain started in on the "they hate us for our freedom" riff. I call this explanation for terrorism the Politics of Barney. I love you, you love me, some people don't love us, you see! Really. It's like the explanation you give a small child when the truth is too rough. "Sweetie, Fluffy lives in kitty heaven now." You don't say, Fluffy's feline carcass is rotting in a shallow grave in the backyard.

On Tuesday night, I watched as Bill Frist urged oldsters to call 1-800-WELFARE for their prescription medication cards.

I listened to Cheney's and Zell Miller's speeches on the radio. I disagreed with almost everything Miller said, but I have to hand it to him; he's one of VERY FEW decent orators in America today. Cheney's speech was lame (although he did get off one amusing zinger; regarding Kerry's record as one who takes both sides of every issue, Cheney said, "John Kerry sees two Americas. I guess that makes it mutual.")

and I just can't stomach this total bullshit. How can anyone with a mind support this ? 911 happenned under " his watch ". And his administration has given us no truth at all about 911. No evidence, refusal to provide.. this is utterly disgusting. Bush is not my " big daddy ". Can you even imagine what another four years of this could do ?? its truly frightening. I've never voted for a Democrat for President, but this rhetoric and blatant lies is beyond any shred of dignity. I am voting for John Kerry with bells on.

Is this 1947 USSR ? Are we all just tools to be employed at his will ? Why do I still believe that only Congress can declare war ? Who's next ? Why is everyone a terrorist that is against our policies ? This is not well. This is totally insane and so is the excuses he uses to justify it, namely 911. Osama bin Laden ? Arab hijackers ? WTC and buildings 6 & 7 were brought down by internal explosives after the fires were out and people were still inside. I feel like Im watching Doctor Bizarro.

I just finish watching a DVD with the tittle " 911 In Plain Site" put out by The Hour of Power,,,,,, cost me $20.00 including shipping.

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW man oh man, blew my mind away (more than what it is already) you can clearly see everything that the planes did on 911,,,,,including the first shots of the Pentagon after the so called plane hit, the hole is only 16 feet by about 8 feet, that was before the wall collapsed...

Even after the wall collapse the hole was only 65 feet and the wing spam of the plae is 125 feet and there was no seats, no luggage, no passenger, nothing,,,,,, the twilight zone............ so, to start with, how can a big plane like that make a hole only 16 feet wide????????

And the planes hitting the towers??????? on both instances you can clearly see a missile been shot at the buildings micro seconds before the plane hit.

Get the DVD if you can, it will be worth it.

Okiereddust,

You are most Right! Sick neoconish trash, I did watch much of it. [QUOTE]I just can't believe it. I have never heard so much contentless featureless "put on a happy face" pap.

Jenna and Barbara are sickening degenerates. "Sex in the City" fans at that! Jenna did an intership in Hollywood one summer. Jenna seems about as smart as her father, the other may have a bit more brain(maybe not).

The Marxists have won the Culture War!

George W Bush's speech last night was quite vomit-inducing. What a disingenuous filthy liar!

He congratulated the leaders, by name, of England, Italy, Australia and Poland, and thanked their troops for their service in Iraq. This obfuscates the fact that 80-90% of the populations in those said countries are vehemently opposed to their participation in the war in Iraq. No mention of that tidbit.

Next noticeable thing I found troubling is that Bush claims that Libya's disarming is a direct result of the US war on Iraq. According to Bush, Col. Gaddafi shat his pants when he saw the US blow Iraq to smithereens and capture Saddam and wanted to avoid confrontation with the USA. The United States has justified the overthrow of Saddam Hussein based largely on alleged crimes committed in the 1980's. Libya, in the 1980's was directly responsible for killing Americans. Saddam, as far as any evidence indicates, didn't sponsor terrorist attacks directly on Americans.

Bush continued to mention 'suicide bombers' and Iraq in the same sentence. The fact is, suicide bombers are largely Palestinians who are fighting the Zionists, therefore, Bush seems to indicate that once Iraq is pacified (if that ever can really happen), Israel will be safe and have free reign over the entire Middle East.

The only thing to do is hold your nose and vote for Kerry. I cannot fathom what will happen to this country and world with 4 more years of George W Bush & Co. Maybe the end of the world might not be so bad?

Would it be better to rush headlong into the coming breakup, instead of sleepwalking into it?

Another good line was, "Hope is on the way? It should be, 'Hype is on the way.'" From George Pataki. Who I must apologize for on behalf of this state. This guy makes Rockefeller look like Rockwell.
