Invesco Field Open Thread

Glutton for punishment?

Watching on MSNBO

Seeing 75,000 in Invesco Field, I don’t think there was anything close to 200,000 in Berlin.

Ooh good Idea!

Just point me in the direction of the vomitarium and stay out of my way.

You are not alone.

Even if there is no intellegint life in the leadership of the DNC, with the billions upon billions of stars out there there is bound to be intelligent life out there…just ask Mr Sagan.

Hey I’m with you.

I guess she doesn’t drive on the bad side of town to see what Obama and Rezko left her neighbors with.

He says his grandma worked her way up to middle management. She was a VP for crying out loud! OF the largest bank in Hawaii. That is not middle management. And I still don’t buy the mom was on food stamps garbage, either. Don’t tell me his grandparents who both had college degrees (like her) and good jobs let their only child and grandchild live on food stamps. It makes no sense.

He should brag about this grandmother’s career and his moms PhD in anthropology as well as her work in microlending in 3rd world countries instead of poor mouthing.

HAHAHAHA. Did anyone catch this part from the transcript:

To President Clinton, who last night made the case for change as only he can make it;
I agree. Only President Clinton can really make change! HAHAHA!

When I read this line, I thought of the Bob Rumson line from the movie “The American President.”

It’s not because John McCain doesn’t care. It’s because John McCain doesn’t get it.

Speech writer watching movies to pull lines from?

lol

Remember his “we live in the greatest country in the history of the world”…. I want you to help me change it.

Yeah like playing Chain of Fools before Bill spoke then Addicted to Love after.

He must have taken the advice to “go negative.” Or maybe it’s the Mr. Agistator in him. Not too classy. Sounds worse when read from telepromter than on the page.

My husband told me about it. Mechelle, the sourpuss, was probably pooping her pants when that happened… Probably couldn’t make it to any Lobbyists parties afterward..

Gross….

Dark star crashes, pouring its light into ashes.
Reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis.
Searchlight casting for faults in the clouds of delusion.
Shall we go, you and I while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?

Mirror shatters in formless reflections of matter.
Glass hand dissolving to ice petal flowers revolving.
Lady in velvet recedes in the nights of good-bye.
Shall we go, you and I while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?

.

I will , I will, I will. At first it was yes WE can, now it is I will.

Me too Katherine…..I haven’t had this much wine in my life.

I’m not watching this travesty. Guess I’ll depend on all of you to let me know if the oceans part or he ascends to the heavens.

I’m staying with the blog, we have the television on some home improvement channel and have removed batteries from the remote, precautions have been taken. Safety First.

Just pick up the tempo here, bring in the cellos… and screen wipe. Wow. The Capitol.

Any idea how many other Hillary supporters left Denver too?

Also, anybody know how many of those people at that stadium were delegates? It seems as if most of those people were not at the Convention but people who came just for the speech.

Grandpa had to be a strong guy to carry a cubby 10 year old on his shoulders.

All hail the great and powerful Wizard of Obama.

Pay no attention to that Axelrod behind the curtain.

He showered gold on the crowd (the myth of Danae…L?)

Obama defeated the PUMAs in the primaries. He’s now the democratic nominee for president. That’s just one of many accomplishments that will be coming soon. He’ll be President after Nov 4. There’s another.

Wow, that sounds bigger than this program I stumbled across. Something called the FSP (Financial Sector Program) of Haaarvard crosspollenated with NATF (New Alliance Task Force) and worked with the FDIC and the Mexican consulate to provide banking and mortgages for illegal immigrants in the lovely city of Chicago with 35 banks involved. Now that there is some change you can believe in.

I know… it is as if Team Obama is on hallucinogens when they make their claims that those bitter old grey haired women are the PUMAs.

How sad that the head scarf and turban wearing folks of our melting pot democracy refuse to prove that Obama is a uniter…

His narrative is compelling if you are a sucker… which is what his campaign is counting on, suckers that can be bought through slick advertising.

You know that barbie doll house that promised you eternal bliss every Saturday morning? How did that plastic house work out for you?

I’m gonna take a shot each time he says change.

That’s grounds for divorce.

What? Not “99 Problems and a Bitch Ain’t One” ???

Naw, with our Hillary now out of the picture Obammunist doesn’t need to play this one any more.

McCain ’08
Hillary ’12

Øbama “all show and no go” NEVER

Tabitha’s Salon takeover is on BRAVO right now.

I wonder how his sister feels about the diss to her father?

How can you be humble in that setting. It’s like he is drinking in all that adoration.

“with great humility…”

First sentence…first lie.

And being surrounded by greco-roman columns no less.

Karma, was that a mule that just kicked me, when he said that?

Or just popcorn in the recliner?

Gross! He’s probably more interested in Bill anyway!

It looks as though he might take off at any moment a la Dumbo.

Those of us who are watching and listening should charge the others, no?

I guess Nelson Mandela doesn’t get it because he’s old too huh?

And Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, Desmond Tutu, etc. etc. They’re all “old.” It’s call wisdom jack ass. Something you wouldn’t know anything about.

Gore said that Obama = Lincoln.
McCain… “I knew Abraham Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln was a friend of mine… Sen Obama… for damn sure you are no Abraham Lincoln”.

Not to mention his position on the Estate Tax. You’ll spend a lifetime building a business and not be able to pass it on to your kids.

Do we have to repeat this again? His grandmother was a VP AT A BANK!

Punahou, his high school, was for the elite in Hawaii.

In My book that is raising taxes because I will have to pay it. So much for helping small business owners.

Now Way-No How-NoObama

LOL. The matching pink dresses and especially Michelle’s were a nice touch. They finally made her look feminine. Teal makes her look gangrenous, too.

It’s a bag of promises and vague notions. Anyone could stand there and say this stuff. But, after all, this guy is black, tall, good looking — oh, and by the way, did I tell you he has testicles?

Plus he did a great job of cheating is way into the nomination. Hard to beat that combination of traits for a president. Yessirree boy!

Of course the media will say it is a good speech. It would be racist if they criticized him. But I’m expecting a lot of people to either tune out and not watch the speech or see through the bullshit and still vote for McCain.

I’ve never voted for a Republican but thanks to Obama that is about to change.

A nuclear country no less!

our son’s service to his country allows people like me to voice my opinion and I thank him for that. UBL’s cave isn’t in Iraq and the Beautiful O is one of the few pols who has been on Pakistan’s case to do more. Just like Putin, Bush put all his money on Musharuf and his judgement was wrong and McCain has been the same re Musharuf.

Me too. Though I doubt they’ll unleash it now. With their convention coming up I think they’ll play positive until it’s over.

I may be violently ill.

I’m the sort of person who can only deal with horribleness by wallowing in it. Sad, I know.

And so it begins!

Which accent is he using tonight?

Yeah, I think he’s trying to make us avert our eyes when the onslaught begins – starting with Ayers – continuing with Rezko, Rev. Wright, the birth certificate, the citizenship questions, the ACORN questions, the late-night limo limbos, his wife screaming about whitey – you know, that stuff that McCain “dreamed up” just to impugn barky’s “character” – but he’s really only saying it because he’s “black,” donchaknow. After all, bambi doesn’t even know those people – well, maybe to say hi in passing…

No, he was talking about dog food.

Oh ya! Not a speech goes by w/o that. No mention that he does not fit the experience required.

And just for not doing his homework, flogging awaits BHO for dissin’ his man.

It’s not nice to fool mother natural.

Thanks Christy for describing that speech pattern. He is trying to sound like someone he is not. It is so obvious that he is a fake, a fraud, a wannabe.

I also liked the Christmas Eve description from another post. I can hardly wait for tomorrow!

Love it…thanks for the laugh..

Hope you make it to the toilet!

Tweety is sick…look at the lies he is feeding the public…he didn’t win ….bullshit…

Gets off is right. That’s exactly what he does. Watch for the stains on his trousers.

Equality is good. Stop dropping cliches about Russia. It only makes all of us look as stupid as the Obamatrons.

Agreed. But it’s not only embarrassment. Bad things are happening to our planet and no one sees it coming. Is seventy years such a long time?

Big chuckle!

What makes me the saddest about this, is that if he loses big, no one will have confidence to present a viable AA candidate on the national stage for a while. I would very much like to see this. Both party and voters will equate all AA candidates to Barack Obama. How unfortunate. If he loses by a small margin, perhaps not so much. But then he may not go away and I want him to go away. just go away. please.

Gore Vidal answered that question best,

“We have only one political party in the United States, the Property Party, with two right wings, Republican and Democrat.”

You don’t dare try selling that bridge! I already have a certificate of ownership!

Excellent point!

Juan…he is nice…I feel sorry for him sometimes…I would think this is very emotional for him…but he sticks to his guns…

Now that The Emperor is done with his BORING speech rehashed ad nauseaum from the same political speeches of the ages, can we get specifics please, just like SJ asks???

Fuzzy, warm, heartstring/emotion tugging words don’t pay the bills.

“Words. Just words.” – BHO said that.

McCain…sigh. why he got to be so damn to the point.

Can’t he say something flourishy?

Like…

…”Now is the Time, This is the Moment to put koolaid jug down people! What they hell are you thinking? Do you hear what this unqualified fruitcake is saying?”

and streamers

L O L

Shit, the ‘speech’ must be over…the infestation has begun.

Obama will win, he is an historic leader,

What’s he ever led, BlowBot?

It’s not hard to hit a home run when you are playing T-Ball and everyone gets a participation trophy…

Bill Clinton saying that he too had been accused of “being too young and inexperienced” just seemed to put down his own record

- Things are not the way that they seem.

The Republicans did say that both men were inexperienced, Bill actually did have experience, Obama does not.

Bill was being very clever.

R O F L

If we come home, it’ll be on November 5th to clean house.

Sorry, not coming back.

Yes, but I took Kaopectate and feel much better now. Thanks!

I gave myelf a long over due peducure during the speech. i was not impressed.

But then again i dont watch reruns of American idol and get all excited waiting for them to announce the winner.

My bowels moved!

Not me, I wasn’t moved by the speech. But I’ll admit the sheer over-the-top extravaganza was a little moving.

LOL!

I have Chronic Obama Fatigue…must sleep now…anything to shut Obama out…

OH Greta is on…

In the stadium I believe they are called scoreboards. Obama is losing the game.

Pundits just mentioned on Larry King that he never uttered anything about 911 either–during a time that terrorism is still an issue we face in this country–sometimes at the hands of our own Americans–Bill Ayers. And remember Ayers invoked terrorism into our country before we heard this word invoked into our country.

Interesting that you point this out. Many believe that no one is watching Barracus, but I have perused a few European papers paying close attention. One blogger called him the Gordon Brown of the US.

Comparison to Jimmy Carter before losing to Reagan? I voted for Jimmy. I have only recently begun to understand why he was so loathed. This was a bad stategy on BO’s part, but I understand the listen to other points of view, but then go their own way. This was the speech Obama wanted to give, that he was trained for.

You are not a PUMA member, you are an Obama supporter here to try and trash PUMA. Your schtick is old and unoriginal. Now go play with the chemicals under your mommy’s kitchen sink.

Cut it out with the “monkey” language. That is a demeaning way to talk about the kids and it doesn’t belong here.

This is not a Klan meeting. You are on the wrong blog.

The short bus is for you. Run along.

Neither did Bill Clinton.
Neither did Hillary Clinton.

Let’s see, suck…check, war criminal…check, racist…check, republicans…check, hate…and hillary…double check. Hmmmm. Yup. You managed to hit all the talking points in just three ‘sentences’. Barky has a few bonus prizes for you tonight. Just make sure to gargle afterwards.

First off, I am a Democrat. John McCain is NOT a war criminal. Where did you get your information? Check out all the slanderous statements made about John McCain in Snopes.com. And don’t start with your race bating here, we won’t stand for it.

Hillary is our heroine and an intelligent classy lady, but that doesn’t mean we have to back Obama because she says so. I vote for whom I feel is the best candidate and since you and your minions played the race card against Senator Clinton and President Clinton I have no respect for you

No Way-No How-NoObama

yeah I heard that too. I was kind of surprised since in the very next phrase he said “John McCain” not “John Sidney McCain.” What’s up with Brit?

And you don’t seem to know anything about Obama. We watched and iistened to your gang tonight and next week you (if fairness is in your doctrine at all) you can watch the response to his lies…and there were many perpetuated in his speech tonight. He is a thug and you have been fooled.

And President Carter said who was the milking? yes, Barry, we know you’re black.

The Ayers ad appears extremist to most mainstream Americans–almost like a product of conspiracy theorists. People who are totally anti-Obama miss that about the ad, because it resonates so strongly with the views they already hold.

McCain needs a new tactic, because the negativity is already starting to reflect back on him, and the content isn’t counteracting the positive, entirely reasonable image Obama is building for himself.

Maybe he needs new ad people. The congratulatory ad tonight showed us a far more likeable John McCain–a wise old guy people should listen to. But his ad people could have done a far better job. The close up and pose together with the tinkly nursery music in the background somehow made me think of a kindly old Teletubby. I don’t think that’s quite what they were going for.

Biden looks like the cryptkeeper with a facelift. He makes McCain look young.

I don’t think they exactly “gave them their week”. Republican campaign spokespersons and commentators were pouring it on throughout the convention, pushing the same talking points, spinning speeches and events only moments after they happened. FOX certainly didn’t provide straightforward convention coverage. They basically tried to alter perceptions of convention events on the roll. Sunday, GOP ads questioning why Obama hadn’t chosen Clinton as VP had received heavy televison play. A second TV ad followed, featuring Hillary’s criticisms of Obama. Tuesday, Romney laid into the Democrats during a widely televised midday news conference. Wednesday, Guiliana took his shot. Wednesday night, after Bill’s speech, the GOP released a web ad attacking Obama’s experience, using primary contest quotes of various democrats against him. The republicans themselves have set a new precedent.
