[bidenista]

Coming up next. Can I hear an "Amen"?

[bidenista]

1. kick

Meanwhile, fat people dancing to country music. Yeehaw.

[demnan]

2. Is bullshit appropriate?

I really don't want to say Amen.

[maseman]

97. The holes in his hands have cleared up nicely

[bidenista]

3. kick again

I'm guessing Huckabee is going to be effective, but if I have to watch much more Republican dancing, that's it. I'm quitting.

[KathieG]

4. Aaaaaaa....no

[Hayabusa]

5. Here we go!

SHowtime!

[lib2DaBone]

14. LOL.. here we go.. "Elite Media"....it's your fault...

... that otta get him a lot of points with the pundits....

[bidenista]

6. DA REVEREND IS IN DA HOUSE!

[bidenista]

7. the "elite media"... do the attacks ever stop?

This has got to affect their coverage.

[npk]

8. The man who has never considered that evolution

might actually have some truth to it.

[Mad_Dem_X]

9. The country is united in support of McCain??

Uhh, what???

[bidenista]

10. lol @ the madonna concert line, tho'...!

[girl gone mad]

27. Most of the people on the floor didn't get it.

"Why did he say about the Virgin Mary?"

[Sparkly]

11. What a bunch of whiners!!!

"The elite media" -- give me a break. :puke:

[goodgd_yall]

12. The elite media has unified Republicans behind McCain

so says the Rev.

[Hayabusa]

13. Wow dude, attacking Madonna. That all ya got?

[avaistheone1]

15. CNN is excited. Says he will throw the red meat.

[dana_b]

16. Huck - you're NOT funny. Stop it.

:eyes:

[npk]

17. OH LAWD. He is talking about civil rights

Hide the children.

[Mad_Dem_X]

23. "elevate our taxes"

Give me a break!

[bidenista]

18. bit of class there about obama

[GoesTo11]

19. Media has been "Tackier than a costume change at a Madonna concert"

that's clever.

I don't get it.

[JackBeck]

33. Madonna attacks McCain during her new tour.

She's been showing political videos for years during costume changes, but this year, since she attacked McCain, that was just too much for the Repigs.

[GoesTo11]

68. "McCain doesn't want to change the definition of marriage"

1) He can cheat on and dump a wife if he feels like it.
2) Get pregnant then get married when they can't hide it.
3) Marry off children before 18
3) Her - Cheat on husband.

Like those definitions.

[JackBeck]

102. Exactly.

But then again, John can't raise his arms high enough to salute the flag, so therefore he should be President.

[crimsonblue]

20. wait for the sexism whine

wait for it. Wait for it.

[Overseas]

21. I'm plum tuckered out from Mitt Billions... Can the Hucker revive me? //nt

[lib2DaBone]

53. Hey Huck.. where does it hurt when you take a shower?

What you been doing with that LAVA in the shower...lol

[Overseas]

92. Nope. Americans... want.... less... government....

he was saying as if to elementary school students, and some flabby arms were waving in assent. But darlings, how ever will you make up the difference when medicare is privatized and means tested to be for all the folks earning just a bit less than you?

And so I wait, when clunker lies like the "less government" one are dropped into the crowd. Will I see a moment of hesitation-- "well actually, I'd like free healthcare..." -- and sometimes I've imagined I saw it -- like with Carly's lists, did they think, "Well, yes, Obama's going to do that." just for a moment?

I think they did.
But these are delegates who've gotta tow the party line.
I just hope some depressed people tuning in are getting it
that John Sidney McCain III in his $520 loafers, and his even richer pals speaking today
have no idea how it feels, on a gut level, to have no insurance to cover your mother's illness
or funding to find a place to live.

[MrScorpio]

22. The Race Card?

What, he's got nothing new?

[Neecy]

26. he basically called Obama a token

[aaronbees]

38. Yep

Disgusting.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

24. I like the crosses in your title.

And the $$$ signs in the Romney thread. :rofl:

[bidenista]

28. glad someone noticed :P

[bullwinkle428]

25. Well, THAT line was a direct theft from Obama's speech!

[Mad_Dem_X]

30. Which line?

AAR is not playing the entire speeches. Grrr...

[npk]

Now he is quoting the Dems party line

WTF.

[Bobbie Jo]

29. Oh shit...he's goin SERIES on them1!11!

they don't know how to react.

[peoli]

31. Obama = no freedom

[peoli]

37. eurpoe = more government

[Born_A_Truman]

32. They aren't owning their mistakes...

acting like the last 8 years weren't their responsibility.

[Mad_Dem_X]

39. When do they ever?

They're trying to blame all of that on Dems, as usual. Like we're all too stupid to remember the past 8 years.

[Hayabusa]

34. OMG! Foreign ideas=EVIL!

[bidenista]

35. ZOMG!11!!!! "YURPEAN IDEAZ"!?!?!?!

[Gidney N Cloyd]

54. "Is this Yurp?"

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

86. Yeah, Huck

those gawdawful Yurpean hellholes like Scandinavia, France, Germany, where people have health care and a social safety net than means something. :grr:

[dana_b]

36. freedom? opportuniy to prosper?

like all the rich, mostly white people in the audience??? how about the protesters outside being pepper sprayed?

[MrScorpio]

40. YooRooPeeans ah sooo scarwee!

Shaking in our boots

[undeterred]

41. Looking down on Obama.

the Republican sneer

In Hope Arkansas they don't look up to Bill Clinton?

[erinlough]

Sounds like the last two speakers are running for.......

VP. Could they know something we don't know about Sarah's speech?

[bullwinkle428]

42. "We only want more government in our bedrooms!"

[npk]

43. He would like you to know Jesus is his hero

Well duh.

[Mad_Dem_X]

49. Now he's talking about SOAP?

What the hell are these people on?

[npk]

65. He is so stupid. It's funny n/t

[President Decider]

44. **OMG** ... Huckabee pulled out the RACE CARD! ....

[GoesTo11]

45. Is this sounding a kind of disjointed and illogical bunch of soundbytes?

What's he getting at?

[goodgd_yall]

69. I didn't understand

how he went from the elite media uniting the Republicans behind McCain to Civil Rights.

[anigbrowl]

46. Jesus, Elvis and FDR?!

[chatnoir]

47. He came back with those evil Euro ideas!

Wtf!

[MrScorpio]

Who want's to take a bet that he'll get a cell phone call from the Almighty?

[BlueIdaho]

48. BREAKING!!!!!!! Mike Huckabee's dad lifted heavy things!!!!!!!!!!! nt.

[crimsonblue]

50. Is there a single minority there?

it looks like the KKK convention there.

[DS1]

51. Already contradicted himself

typical


god these people are so dumb

[spanone]

52. yea mike FUCK THOSE POOR HOMELESS SONS OF BITCHES ON WELFARE...FUCK THEM

[Neecy]

and the crowd goes wild

Republicans love bashing poor people

[Mad_Dem_X]

Fuck the poor!

Fuck the intellectually curious, too!

[dana_b]

57. yeah... pull themselves up by their own boot...

oh wait, they don't have any boots

[Iris]

122. well, yeah. Just yesterday I heard a republican woman say if people knew that she was one of the 5%

who did NOT get a tax refund this year, they'd change their minds about Obama. So, yeah, they couldn't give a shit less about a homeless person.

[Iris]

124. well, yeah. Just yesterday I heard a republican woman say if people knew that she was one of the 5%

who did NOT get a tax refund this year, they'd change their minds about Obama. So, yeah, they couldn't give a shit less about a homeless person.

[npk]

55. "My daddy lifted heavy things"

:rofl:

[anigbrowl]

So have I, and I'm still not a Republican.

[npk]

71. What is that even have to do with anything.

Gawd he is so stupid.

:rofl:

[JVS]

108. "like me"

[bullwinkle428]

56. Is this night an absolute rehash of "moldy oldies" or what?

Compare and contrast with THE speech last week...

Oh yes... some gratuitous gay-bashing as well!

[JerseygirlCT]

58. I seriously wonder why, if what his handlers was telling him to do

was pick a rightwing religious nutjob, he didn't go for Huckabee.

He's a good speaker, slick as anything, and already somewhat vetted by the media.

He was the one of the whole bunch who I found the most frightening, actually.

Instead, they pick an unknown, without knowing her themselves.

[MrScorpio]

59. Fee-TUS! Fee-TUS! FEE-TUS!

[femmedem]

60. Could he be any more xenophobic? This is frightening.

People who don't even vote here or pay taxes! European ideas! And after he buttered the crowd up by decrying Jim Crowe.

Now wild cheers at the horrors of governments rescuing poor people!

[emmadoggy]

61. "I'm a Republican because I didn't want to be poor all my life, waiting for the

Government to bail me out." Or some such vomit.


:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[Kajsa]

62. " I didn't wait for government to rescue me"- THE GOP mantra!

OK- now he's rolling-

what's next- poking fun of properly inflated tires?

Ah- YES- he just did!

They're sooo predictable.

[yardwork]

81. blah blah blah privileges....american....blah blah blah

the audience is confused

[Kajsa]

129. or bored out of their minds!

:rofl: :hi:

[truebrit71]

63. As a Yurrupeen let me say a hearty FUCK YOU to the fundy creationist nutjob...

...bass playing moran spewing his lies on the stage...

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

110. Hey, I'm a bass player and I resent that remark!

I'm a democratic socialist atheist! :hi:

[Mad_Dem_X]

64. He just slammed Biden - A$$hole! nt

[Kajsa]

79. Biden would eat him for breakfast!

No comparison!

[wisteria]

87. Maybe we should challenge him on the numbers. The town she was mayor of was very small.

And really what kind of competition did she have? Senator Biden may have gotten 1 or 2 % of the vote, but that still may be more than she got in her little town.

[wisteria]

115. KO just challenged him on the numbers. Hukee was wrong. n/t

[dana_b]

66. Joe is gonna still kick her butt though!

[bidenista]

67. talking PURELY in terms of performance

This is much better than Romney.

[mzmolly]

73. He's a good speaker.

Too bad he's so full of crap.

[Starry Messenger]

70. I'm listening to bits of it.

It's not very good. I'm surprised. I hate everything he stands for but he's usually pretty amusing on Colbert.

MPK

[lib2DaBone]

72. Did anyone mention ...McCain was a POW?

nt

[DesertRat]

75. You mean P.O.Dubya

[bidenista]

80. A what? Huh?

I don't believe I've ever heard of a POW before.

[Hayabusa]

82. Really?

Didn't know that.

[yardwork]

74. he just said that John McCain is thoroughly....testy

and is that purple tie some kind of fundy message?

Oh now we're praising McCain for not buckling to torture...except that it wasn't torture according to the Republicans

[bullwinkle428]

76. McCain NOT tortured by current U.S. definition - sorry Huck!

Is he alive?

Did he suffer organ failure?

[justiceischeap]

77. "Palin got more votes for mayor than Biden got for President"

True? 'Cause you know it's gonna be the new meme.

[Mad_Dem_X]

83. Not necessarily true. nt

[WinkyDink]

94. FINE! Let her be MAYOR!

[bullwinkle428]

116. YEAH!!! KO just blew that one out of the water!!

[pookieblue]

78. OMG... Huckabee just said that McCain was a POW!!

Wow..I didn't know that.

[yardwork]

84. they just found the lone black couple in the entire place!

[DesertRat]

95. I saw a black guy earlier, but he was a secret service agent.

[npk]

85. How many times do we have to hear that McCain can't salute the flag

Because he was a POW. Stop it, please stop it.

[Mad_Dem_X]

90. Vets carrying school desks - um, what?

What's the point again?

[npk]

100. No point. And it took him five minutes to get to no point. n/t

[DesertRat]

103. What a load of crap. n/t

[DesertRat]

4 years ago they slammed Kerry for mentioning Vietnam

:mad:

[Mad_Dem_X]

105. True!

But being a POW is all he's got.

Mike got a desk from John McCain? WHAT?

[secondwind]

109. THE REPUBLICANS TRASHED A VIETNAM VET IN 2004, AND NOW THEY ARE CELEBRATING ANOTHER

HYPOCRISY!



:PUKE:

[bidenista]

88. This anecdote has to be the biggest load of $%^&* I have ever heard. nt

[npk]

89. GAWD he takes forever to get to a point

Geees.

[Hayabusa]

91. Wow... and that's acceptable?

[bidenista]

96. I want to meet the 20 veterans who stuck around school all day for such a stupid stunt. nt

[Sparkly]

93. Evil taxes bought their desks. nt

[global1]

114. Call The Local Stations That Supposedly Covered This Story To Verify It........

I think he made the desk story up.

[demmiblue]

98. How bizarre!

[yardwork]

99. by the time he got to the end of that last story the audience had fallen asleep

they have no idea what he's talking about.

Who is Martha? What is all this about free desks? wtf?

[MrScorpio]

Shouldn't he be dry humping a flag pole by now?

[MirrorAshes]

101. DESK! DESK! DESK!

:puke:

[Tatiana]

104. The earning a desk story was stupid, but Huckabee has a great way of telling it.

He definitely has a talent for saying hateful things with a pleasant tone and voice.

[MirrorAshes]

119. meh

yeah huck is good at that sort of thing but the whole desk spiel was such bs i don't think even he pulled it together

[Hayabusa]

106. I thought my mom and her school tax dollars paid for my desk. Guess not...

[npk]

107. Thank God that's over

I was getting bored.

[Mad_Dem_X]

113. He was giving me a headache.

Good riddance, Huck!

[NorthCarolina]

111. Desk Story

1) Completely made up BS?
2) Extensively exaggerated, but some basis of truth?
3) The Gods honest truth, it really happened just that way?

[MirrorAshes]

121. with the little nugget about media showing up

it should be pretty easily provable to be true or untrue you'd think

but jesus christ, what a load of crap either way

[NorthCarolina]

132. Desk story confirmed....

A Lesson On How Freedom Is Earned….

April 16, 2007

The story below is a true story. It is a story full of inspiration. It is a story of a woman who really understands what it means to “Support The Troops.” It is a story that gives hope, that by the teachings of this woman, Martha Cothren, some young Americans will reach adulthood knowing the true price of freedom…..

[yardwork]

112. im dying here rofl this is the funniest thing I've ever seen

[Kajsa]

128. Hi Yardwork!

Did you catch Georgie's single feed
speech last night with his loooong pauses?

OMG- I was on the floor!

:rofl:

[Kajsa]

117. If that teacher had pulled the 'no desk' stunt

in my district = she'd be out or on probation-
tenure or no tenure.

Sure thing, Huck- uh, huh- I believe this :eyes:story!

[Courtesy Flush]

131. Relax. It was a lie. n/t

[Kajsa]

133. That's what I'm getting at--

typical Repub. "real life examples"!

:eyes:

[secondwind]

118. KO just called Huckabee in a lie...........

Huckabee said that Biden had gotten fewer votes in the Presidential campaign than Palin did in Alaska!

KO says, "Biden received 13,000 votes in CA and 18,000 votes (somewhere else), etc.)"

WTF?



:rage:

[bidenista]

125. it sounded like BS to me

Wasilla has what? 9000 people?

[secondwind]

127. Wasilla has a population of less than 7,000.......and the rumor is

that Palin was embroiled in some controversy, and the town forced her to HIRE AN ADMINISTRATOR TO MANAGE THE TOWN,

[RepublicanElephant]

120. thanks for the fact-checking, keith o!

lincoln not the founder of gop.

and no way palin's little hamlet garnered more votes than biden's presidential run.

[lib2DaBone]

123. A truly EVIL man hiding behind a clergy collar

[secondwind]

126. GOD, THERE IS SO MUCH RED MEAT OUT THERE ON THE CONVENTION FLOOR

[Errrica]

130. What have I missed?

Rather, how many LOL moments have I missed?
I just got home from work!

[Kajsa]

134. I see, Governor trumps US Senator,

anytime, anywhere.--

Wha?!?
In what parallel universe?
