Fuck any idea of emulating anything in rebuttal of the RNC crap at the DNC next week [View all]

Simply fuck all of that shit.

The DNC should be unique, compassionate, truthful, spontaneous, loud, emotional and FOCUSED!

Everything that the RNC wasn't.

No need to pay any attention to the lame stunts of Eastwood and the incompetence of Romney and the RNC. The Republicans were fools to screw up the introduction of Romney.

We need to express ourselves as Democrats in our own way, let the country FEEL that we are the ones who are the adults in government's room.

Let the RNC's complete derailment pale in comparison to Democratic organization.
