    Absolutely. Obama’s speech was an absolute winner, selling a combo of the jobs bill where Harry Reid rewrote the rules of the Senate to keep his Democrats from having to vote on it, and a budget that has yet to get a single Democratic vote in the House or Senate. 4 more years! 4 more years!

    President Obama’s acceptance speech came one year to the day of the bankruptcy of Solyndra.

    Pretty fitting, actually; after all, he did build that.

      So what you are saying is it is wrong to support new technologies if there is even the slightest chance that one of the many companies supported might one day go bankrupt.

      Thanks for being such a shortsighted idiot.

        I am a Canadian and I had hoped that Obama would actually have done a way better job at fixing some of the imbalances in the US economy. All he has done is created tax and fee uncertainty. He never did anything to curtail the current Wall Street Casino (ie naked shorting, MF Global, etc….) All these non solutions curtail Capitol formation and sustained job growth. Obama also has failed on critical infrastructure. I think he had his shot and a change is needed.

        It wasn’t new tech Obama threw away taxpayer money on, it was an inefficient manufacturing process that had no chance of succeeding in a competitive market place.

        They were bundlers….the corruption of this regime is so massive it has become analogous to the “big lie” ….there is nothing innovated in Obama’s approach…its corruption by any other standard when judged apart from their constant hype.

    Better at helping me make a final choice.

    As an independent I have decided to vote against President Obama rather than for Mitt Romney.

      Yea, that’s kind of what so many Republican primary voters realized when they refused to vote for Romney in the primaries. That and a suspicion that he agrees with Obama on the issues. Judging by how little they mentioned his name at the convention, it’s possible Romney is starting to get that noone wants to vote for him.

    The amount of platitudes and non-descript shit romney spewed i just amazing. And referencing god, might work well in the south. But according to recent studies 19% of americans are agnostic or atheist. 19% is a lot, add that to the 13% blacks that vote for obama, then the gays at 4%, Obama does not have to work hard to get reelected. The republicans have this chance to include more groups than white religious people. If that is the direction of the republican party, they have lost forever.

          It is NOT clear if the intention was to say 100% (actually probably like 95%) of the blacks who comprise 13% of the population, voted for Obama.

          Being black makes you a part of the most racist voting bloc ever.

            If you’ve been eating whole food on your own for a while, the point was completely obvious.

            If we can’t have a literacy test, perhaps we should have an adult food test: no pablum suckers are qualified to vote. They have no teeth by which to devour a subject beyond what is sp0on fed to them.

            Can I have an Amen on that?

            Silly f*cktards, and proud of it too.

    To who had the better convention, I agree the Democrats had the better music, though the Republicans dominated among American Idol contestants.

    The standard for who had the better convention is the effect on the election. Kerry obliterated Bush in the first debate, but lost the election when he said global test, so really Kerry lost that debate. Bush had been the loser by saying he believed in transforming power of democracy, which means war with Iran.

    So, what effect did the conventions have? Obama said the same things as before, so I don’t think that helps much. They focused on the auto bailout, so if they win Ohio and Michigan because of it, they are successful. They had a large focus on abortion, including putting Sandra Fluke in primetime. Bill Clinton’s speech was a good defense, and maybe it convinces people of four more years. Democrats also said you belong to the government. They booed God and Jerusalem.
    Republican convention was largely quiet about Romney, and trying to build the GOP brand. Eastwood said let em go. Artur Davis said drop the Democrats.

    I went to Drudge and looked a the last economic report. It seriously bleeps on many levels. The debt is growing as fast as always. I heard nothing that suggest Obama is actually going to fix anything by doing something different than he’s been doing and he’s been getting in the way of economic recovery. I looked at his web site and still nothing. The Communists and Socialist nations have proved to me that two much dependance on central planning chokes economic development. Growing the government doesn’t help either and this appears to be his modal for effective governance.

    Last and not completely least there’s all this rhetoric about we belong to the government. Huh? I’m from the South. I’ve read about what went on in days of yore and this reminds me forcibly of the White folks in the big house talking about the darkies out back. As one of the proposed darkies for this ruling elite, no thank you. I had an ancestor that fought in the Union army to help put an end to that sort of bleep and I’m at least as opposed to the idea of people being owned as he was.

    I went to the Romney web site and it listed a few things which if done would reduce the amount of pain and FUD being caused to business people by the government. I have some reason to think he knows how to balance a budget since he’s done it before and that he won’t try to solve our problems by growing the government. Last and not least I think he believes that the people own the government and not the other way around. Then there is the observation that Putin prefers Obama.

      Most intelligent post here. You are coming to the proper conclusion.
      Dems = Socialism/Communism/Authoritarian Control/Big Government in every corner of our lives.

      Repubs = Freedom of choice/Freedom of Action/Smaller Government/Personal Responsibility.

      It’s that simple.

        And let’s let go of the BS that both parties are the same.

        There’s NOT.

        Just listen to the speeches. It’s obvious the Republicans are all about improving and restoring personal freedom which comes with personal accountability.

        The Dems are all about taking away what’s left of our personal freedom in exchange for becoming “one of many”. Something like becoming a Borg.

      Government is smaller now than during under Bush II. The deficit is less, which means the debt is growing at a slower rate than previously. Nobody ever claimed you belong to the govermnet.

      So there you have it. Your opinion is based on falsehoods and ignorance. Now lets see you show a little integrity. When a person with integrity realizes that their sources have misled them they being to suspect those sources. Where did you hear those lies and will you go back to them expecting the truth? Do you expect clean water from a poisoned well?

        Really? Really??

        What you fail to realize is Bush effectively opted out his last 2 years under pressure from the Democrat congress and caved to the Pelosi / Reid quadruppling of the deficit.

        The president is a small part of the problem. The bigger problem has been the 6 years of a democrat congress.

        Spend Spend Spend….. Thats the Pelosi Reid Mantra…

    The summary of the Democratic convention is that Republicans in Congress and everywhere else are super partisan who block everything, and after Obama wins those super partisan Republicans will do everything Obama wants.

    It’s that simple. /// Indeed it is. I’ll recharacterize your fantasy as: Dumbo’s regard government as one of many tools for people to come together for their mutual betterment. Stats/studies/history shows this often happens. challenge: too many dumb ass voters like Oh_No have drunk the Puke Koolaide and vote against their own self interests.

    Republicans, otoh, think government by regulation inhibit the free market which is everything. The current Great Recession is a direct product of this faulty thinking. Stats/studies/history show that capitalism fails like every other economic theory when it goes forth under regulated.

    Easy Peasy. All you have to do is look. LOOK!!!!!

    course, you have to pull your head out of your ass first.

    Loving Government, “the only thing we all belong to” is antithetical to our founding which didn’t trust any government, including our own…hence the checks and balances and enumerated powers, federalism.

    In Nov we will learn if America has become a nation wanting free stuff more than freedom, or not.

    If a majority of people still reject the able bodied freeloading on others, or not.

    Could care less what kind of lip service these guys provide. How about some examples of actually doing something? If I did my job as poorly as the President the last 3 plus years and have pretty much nothing to show for it. I would have been fired a long time ago. That goes for many in Congress too. But let’s keep believing the BS and the wonderful uplifting speeches. Its no wonder we have so many slackers in government.
