Less unity and more anger, please.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

From what I have been able to hear about the Democratic convention, there has been a lot about party unity and reasons why Obama and the Democrats are great.

That's all well and good, but if the election is a referendum on Obama then I don't fancy the Democrats' chances.

In the remaining days, what I'm hoping for is more about Bush, McCain and the Republicans, and why the Democrats are better than them.

I suspect that to many voters, the answer to the question "do you want Obama to run the country?" is far less obvious than the answer to "who would you rather have running the country, Obama or McCain?"

The primary generated a great deal of anger on all sides. It's relatively hard to make anger go away, but very easy to redirect it, especially when you have something as clearly infuriating as McCain to point it at.

Hillary Clinton's speach established beyond all reasonable doubt that she supports Obama. What I want to hear now is that she, and Obama, and the rest of the Democratic party, oppose McCain and the Republicans.

"No way, no how" is a start...

1. I might guess that now that Clinton has had her moment we can get to the republicans now.

[niceypoo]

11. Lets hope so

Time for everyone to get on the bus, or else stop typing for a couple months.

[DangerousRhythm]

13. She's had at least a few GREAT moments...

But yes, now it's time to take it to the Republican bastards and WIN this thing!

[Egnever]

2. Agreed Scare em into voting dem

Long past time to start pointing out the real horrors of this administration.

[bdamomma]

3. one way of scaring them is to mention

how mc cain would consider cheney as his running mate or has a place for him in his administration.

[musicblind]

4. Is that true? n/t

[bdamomma]

8. yes, hearsay from some news show or talk show

wouldn't think twice of having cheney, rummy in his administration unless this was an old clip.

[musicblind]

9. Wow

Just wow, how could he think that would be a good idea?

[Donald Ian Rankin]

5. I don't know what it does to the enemy, but by God it frightens me...

[Sensitivity]

6. You are on target. FEAR moves more votes than we tend to think -- the Pugs understand this!

[pdxmom]

7. Just because the MSM refuses to cover it, that doesn't mean it isn't

happening. Kucinich, Schweitzer, Casey and several others went after McCain yesterday, but the MSM only wanted to talk about the Clintons. Same thing is happening today...forget that it is actually Biden's day, we're only going to hear about Bill Clinton.

The MSM has a storyline they want to sell (the split in the Dem party) and by God, they are intent on selling it. And this is what the "average" voter is seeing and hearing...not what is actually going on at the convention.

10. Don't worry, after the convention is when the fight heats up!

McSame broke the tradition of campaigning during the convention, so now all is fair game!

[HughMoran]

12. Yeah, the Dems have no idea about this - only you realize this

mmm - k

:eyes:

IT's the convention NOW it's about Obama NOW - relax and stop trying to sound smart.

[SeattleGirl]

14. If you've just been watching CNN or MSNBC, and not C-SPAN, you're

missing a lot! Yesterday, nearly every speaker contrasted Obama with Bush/McSame, and they didn't just say, "Barack good, McSame/Bush bad." No, they were talking about all the things Bush has done wrong, and how McSame will continue those wrong things. But you won't see a lot of them on the cable shows. You WILL see it on C-SPAN.

15. You know, I thought this was going to be a joke thread for a minute.

but when I realized you were serious, there wasn't a big enough :eyes: for me.
