I’m already depressed. It’s 5:59pm, and I’m dreading what’s about to come on the television.
Oh, so the wattle and the NYTDB take offense to the term “pundit”? They prefer “analyst”. There’s already an angry voice spewing at the podium, but he must not be very important – you know, like most everyone that has spoken thus far at this convention. I’m bored listening to these “analysts”, so I’m checking out until I have someone else to direct my commentary towards.
And here’s AFL/CIO president, Rich Trumka. This ought to be lackluster…at best. “Mitt Romney doesn’t know a thing about hard work or responsibility.” Yeah, because being a governor or running the Olympics comes with no responsibility. I didn’t know that organizing a union was a “fundamental human right”. Where do these people come up with this? Oh, and the class warfare has already started. I don’t remember angry little men giving speeches last week in Tampa. Pretty sure that’s a prerequisite to speak here – that, or if you’ll speak about abortion rights.
Now the Democrat Senate candidate from Wisconsin, Representative Tammy Baldwin, is in the PBS box hitting all of Debbie Wasserman-Shultz’s (henceforth, known as “DWS”) talking points. “Work hard and play by the rules…level playing field…hard-working middle class families.” Seriously, the robots have synchronized early tonight.
Oh my goat. It’s Nancy “Stretch” Pelosi! Yikes. She is just plain scary, and it looks as if “…the future of our party, the hope of America.” No, madam plastic. A win for your party is a loss for the country. “President Obama has focused on jobs from day one.” When was the last time his jobs council met? Now she’s hitting the talking points. DADT, ObamaCare, equal pay…the usual suspects. “When you go to the polls, vote for Medicare. Vote for President Obama.” Do we really need to cover this material again? Now she’s doing the same line for social security. Now the same line about “women’s rights”. “It’s just plain wrong.” Lemmings, this convention is full of.
Now we’re back to the box with Rep. Baldwin and the talking heads. Bored.
Now, Democratic women Senators. Diane Fienstein (CA), Barbra Boxer (CA), Kirsten Gillibrand (NY), and others. They’re all being trotted out to the instrumental version of Katy Perry’s Firework. Where’s Claire McCaskill (MO)? Hmm? Maybe she’s out trying to salvage a campaign she’ll probably still lose, even though she’s running against a loose-lipped opponent. Going back to attractive women in politics. If this sampling is any indication, Republicans own the field of hot women in politics. Only three of nine of these women are but moderately attractive. But I won’t dwell on looks, because you’re supposed to be looking at what’s on the inside. If that’s the case, there’s a bunch of angry little men up there, again. Barbra Mukulski (MD) was the spokeswoman for the group, and she’s got a wattle as well. Just listening to her talk is vexing.
Caroline Kennedy is joining the PBS box, talking about how Uncle Teddy [Kennedy] is at the convention, guiding them. She says that she’s found that people are engaged on the issues. If that’s the case, there’s no way her man, President Obama, can get reelected. He’s got nothing to run on. She’s actually a terrible commentator, er, um, analyst. Monotone, unexciting, and bland. She’s not hitting DWS’s talking points…yet. So I have to give her partial credit. She must not have been briefed. Oh, there’s a “on the side of working families”. Knew she couldn’t go the whole interview without caving.
Jennifer Sanchez is performing, and it’s a nice break from the talking heads in the PBS booth. Too bad this American Idol winner has to stoop to performing to this crowd. And now they’re cutting back to the talking heads.
Now the PBS box has the keynote speaker from last night, mayor of San Antonio, Julian Castro. Let’s see if he goes from likable to angry little man without the smooth transition again.
Now, the president of Planned Parenthood, Cecile Richards. This ought to be depressing. Oh, she just couldn’t resist the media-created Todd Akin controversy. She’s not as unattractive as her NARAL counterpart, but her words are just as awful. Okay, she’s not nearly as funny as she thinks she is. “President Obama understands women.” Does that mean he’s a woman, because no man understands women. Period. (Pun intended.) She doesn’t exactly have the crowd riled up. It’s more obligatory cheers than fired up. Do the Democrats really think that having women renowned for abortion rights speak here will help win them votes? And there’s the biggest cheer, for her mother, Ann Richards. Should have seen that coming. This was probably among the most deceitful speeches so far in this convention. She barely mentioned anything about what Planned Parenthood stands for, which is nothing short of infanticide. Instead, she tried to sell the idea of her organization being primarily for cancer screenings and birth control – not abortion, which is the real mantra of the organization.
Judy [Woodruff] is actually kind of taking it to Mayor Castro on “reproductive rights”. Basically, she asked him why the Democrat party doesn’t seem open to a pro-life candidate. And Gwen [Ifill] followed up with bringing up his Catholic background. He’s waffling. Basically he just said that Catholics are pro-choice, and now he’s walking that comment back. I don’t think he’s comfortable with this conversation. He’s sweating. And the NYTDB just saved the mayor from further waffling and changed the subject back to the economy. Bad interview, Mister Keynote.
Now a veterans video. This ought to be as close as patriotic as this convention gets. I took a break during this, but the last two speakers, both veterans, were almost non-partisan. I can appreciate that, but I don’t think they realize that taking care of our veterans isn't a subject President Obama owns. Everyone in their right minds would want to do that. They should take another look at his stance on the military. Like, how cutting the defense budget would seem like a good idea.
Now, Gov. Deval Patrick is joining the talking heads in the box. I think the NYTDB is getting irritated that no one is going to give him a straight answer to his question, “What’s going to be the most important legislative accomplishment of Obama’s second term.” And now the wattle is following up with whether Gov. Patrick thinks Mitt Romney is a felon. Really, people? Come on. Break.
Sister Simone Campbell – executive director of NETWORK, a nun, and Ryan budget-hater – is now at the podium. I love how she’s talking about compassionate acts but it’s morphing into government control. “This is part of my pro-life stance, and the right thing to do.” Sorry, Sister. There’s no such thing as a pro-life Democrat any more. We’ll welcome you to the Republican Party when you see that government control will never be as good as the compassion you advocate. Oh, and when you stop knocking a budget that seeks to save this country’s future.
Now, Mayor Rahm Emanuel of Chicago is joining the PBS box, talking about campaign finance reform. I knew we couldn’t go a whole convention without the Koch brothers being mentioned. I find the Democrats to be at the height of hypocrisy on this issue. Rail against super PACs, then embrace them. Bored. “Republicans didn’t vote for President Obama’s budget.” Neither did Democrats, Rahm. Now he’s talking about Republicans wanting to rewrite history. Really?! Look at how presidents [F.D.] Roosevelt, Kennedy, and Clinton are revered in history books, while diminishing the successes of Reagan and [G.W.] Bush. Get real, Rahm. What a tool.
Bill Butcher, a brewery owner, is now at the podium. This is the Democrats’ attempt to prop up their small business credentials. Short speech. I figured he’d rail against Romney. Fortunately, he didn’t. He’s just misinformed about the president being on his side.
Now, California Attorney General, Kamala Harris – probably the most attractive woman to speak thus far. Now watch her ruin whatever attractive qualities she has by spouting DWS’s talking points. I love how she’s railing about the housing crisis while not accepting the notion that it was her party that created said crisis. Oh, now she’s on to railing on Wall Street. Attractive, you may argue, she is, but she’s also a pawn.
Now a video about immigration. It’s propping up executive orders. I have a serious issue with this. If he’s just going to ignore the laws regarding immigration, what other laws is he going to ignore and issue executive orders to change?
Benita Veliz, an illegal immigrant, is now at the podium. Nothing against her, but get in line to do the immigration thing the legal way. Oh, so the illegal immigrant was just here to introduce Cristina Saralegui, from Telemundo. No wonder I’ve never heard of her. Could this Cuban look any more Aryan? Was that too far? I think the Democrats are worried that the Republicans have lost their monopoly on Hispanic voters. Hence, Castro, Veliz, and Saralegui. I’m bored. Did she just say, “He helped create a Second Great Depression.”? If so, I’m sure she didn’t mean to, but she’s right. Let me translate for you all. “Comprehensive immigration reform” to Democrats means “amnesty” and “open borders” for the rest of us. Now she’s railing on Arizona’s immigration laws. Have I mentioned how much I love Jan Brewer? Yikes. That was just lackluster. I couldn’t understand half of it – because half was in Spanish. Lame. There was nothing in her speech about learning English, like her Republican counterparts championed last week.
Now, the president of Carmax, , is at the podium. And he just blamed Bush. I’m taking a break. I wish it was to self medicate, but it’s just not the case.
And now a video on the auto industry. This ought to be wrought with inaccuracies. Yep, slamming Mitt Romney’s op-ed in the NYT. Seriously, where is the mention of the Chevy Volt? Where’s the mention of how GM and Chrysler actually did go bankrupt, after the bailout? Yeah, inaccuracies. Where did they dig up these pawns.
Who’s this Karen Eusanio. Oh, naturally, a UAW member. I assume she’s here to introduce someone? “President Obama didn’t think about the polls or the politics. He thought about the people.” Sorry, honey. All that Democrats pay attention to is polls and politics. And there’s Michelle. I guess she’s not here to introduce anyone.
Okay, maybe she was an opening act for Bob King, UAW president. Labor leaders speaking at a convention just seems like a conflict of interest. But then again, unions are just money laundering operations for the Democrat Party. And now, we’re going to rip on Bain Capital. It was only a matter of time. Since when are labor laws, strong unions, and collective bargaining “basic human rights.” Is this a fantasy event? Where’s the cosplay? Now he’s ripping on Wisconsin. Why? I think Gov. Walker is doing a phenomenal job taking on the overgrown behemoths that you represent.
Oh, this ought to be good. Former employees of Bain Capital – also known as political pawns. Bored. This is such a joke. Speaking of jokes, there’s Joe Biden. And this is a cyclical double negative. I don’t hate Mitt, but I hate him. Really, folks? Oh, they have beer in the stands. I’m envious. Can you tell that I’m easily distracted from the political pawns that will be discarded after the election? Yikes! There’s Al Franken, doing his best Jack Nicholson as the Joker impression. Scary.
Now, back to the talking heads. The NYTDB is still upset that the convention hasn’t taken his advice. I don’t think he realizes that this actually reflects bad on Democrats. I doubt that’s his intent. Now the wattle says that we celebrate the auto bailout. We do? News to me. Oh, so this was just a transition into a rant about Clint Eastwood. Typical liberal. Bored.
Oh my goat. This ought to be just awful. Sandra Fluke (aka, slut) just took the podium. How long until she mentions Rush Limbaugh? Oh, so now she’s fear mongering. Oh, there it is. Not by name, but it only took her a minute. But she’s back to fear mongering. She’s in good company. “…forcing us to endure invasive ultrasounds.” What is invasive about an ultrasound? And there’s the media-created Todd Akin controversy. That only took two and a half minutes. This broad is a robot. Pretty sure she got a makeover before this. How does it feel, Miss Fluke, to whore yourself out to the Democrat party? After the election, you’ll be discarded like a form of birth control you advocate. Too far? Too bad. I have no respect for a woman who doesn’t respect the unborn. Plus, activists don’t do it for me. Finally, it’s over. Eight minutes too long.
Jim Sinegal, former CEO of Costco, is taking the podium. His warm-up act will be very easy to follow. Very easy. Yes, read into that. I know I sound like a chauvinist, but I really don’t think these women can be demeaned any more than they’ve demeaned themselves by their own words. Mr. Sinegal’s speech is lackluster. Monotone, uninspiring, and misguided. Hahahaha! One of the delegates is asleep! Classic!
And now, Elizabeth Warren, Senate candidate from Massachusetts - and 1/32 American Indian? “I never dreamed I’d be the warm up act for President Bill Clinton.” How deep do I need to read into that? (Yes, I know, there were several double entendres in there.) Oh goat. “The system is rigged.” We’re going to go there, then? Bored. There’s the “fair share” comment. Lame. Now she’s saying Mitt Romney would raise taxes. Isn’t it your party who wants the Bush tax cuts to expire? I think she’s got a sick fantasy of Obama fighting for her. The way she’s describing his alleged taking on of the big banks, it’s a little disturbing. Have I mentioned that I’m bored? And there’s the equal pay reference. Beating a dead horse, anyone? She just invoked Matthew 25:40. How about the Democrats look up Exodus 20:13? Where is the person with the stage hook? This has been going on for far too long.
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa just stepped up to the podium. He’s here to introduce former president, Bill Clinton. I find his presence here fascinating. Naturally, here to scout out interns, er, um, prop up his wife’s 2016 run, er, no, why is he here?
Why is he getting such an ovation? This should be a cake walk for him. He doesn’t like Obama, but lying through his teeth is second nature to this guy. I do find it ironic that Vice President Joe Biden isn’t speaking tonight. Probably because he doesn’t have a chance of holding a candle to Rep. Paul Ryan’s speech a week ago. “I want to nominate a man who’s cool on the outside, but burns for America on the inside.” Again, how am I supposed to read that? “In Tampa, a few days ago, we heard a lot of talk.” Not as much hot air as we’re getting here in Charlotte. One of my sources just told me that if throwable objects were available, they’d be hurled at the television set. And he’s just warming up. Yikes! There’s his and Hillary’s spawn! And there’s the tell – licking the lips. So, Republicans are the party of hate? Right. This guy is a comedian. Biting his lip now. Is that another tell? “What works in the real world, is cooperation.” Right. “Cooperation” to a Democrat means “Republicans caving to their tantrums.” “He is still committed to constructive cooperation.” Really? Wasn’t it Obama that said that “elections have consequences, and [he] won”? Now he’s heaping praise on Joe Biden and his wife. “…more partners and fewer enemies”? Are you kidding me? Turn your back on Israel and the UK and embrace the Muslim brotherhood? That’s making us safer?! I’m so bored. He’s droning on and on about partisanship in Congress. Really? Republicans left Obama a mess? Last time I checked, the Democrats were in control of Congress starting in 2007. Who left the mess for whom? “Are we better off than we were when he took office?” NO! NO! NO! Anyone with half a brain knows that. Don’t try to spin this. We’re not impressionable interns. “No one could have repaired the damage he found in just four years.” Maybe not, but what he could have done, was attempt to stop the bleeding. Instead, he ripped any band-aid that was on the mess off and sunk the knife deeper. Did you see the national debt top $16 trillion? That’s not leadership, that’s abject failure. I’m so done with this bloviating douche bag. “The auto industry restructuring worked.” Before they went bankrupt? If this guy was Pinocchio, his nose would be in the Atlantic Ocean by now. And that’s just from this speech. Gaffe. “It will cut your gas price in half, er, it will cut your gas bill in half.” What, bringing up the fact that gas prices have doubled since Obama’s inauguration is a touchy subject? Wrap it up, Bill. (TWMS?) I’m bored, and if you don’t end this lie-fest, I’m going to start chucking my shoes at my television. I have size 16 shoes, and I like my television. Don’t make me do it. Oh, man. Now he’s just getting to ObamaCare – a term he calls “derisive.” Aptly labeled. And just a news flash, over half of Americans favor repeal. It’s a poll. You should take notice. And now he’s taking on Ryan’s Medicare plan. He is going to crash and burn. This is making no sense. And I don’t think anyone in the convention hall is following him either. They’re just mindlessly cheering. Because, I mean, it’s Bubba, baby. This is the stalest argument in the Democrat playbook – and right out of DWS’s talking points. How many times can you say “end Medicare as we know it”? And now he’s on to the work requirement for welfare. Why are we supposed to trust him when he says, “Here’s what happened.” Did we believe him when he told us what happened with Monica – the first time?! I love how he’s taking credit for welfare reform, when it was Newt Gingrich and the House Republicans that dragged him kicking and screaming to the table to do so. For the love of goat. Now he’s on to debt. “We’ve got to deal with the debt…What has the president done?” ADDED TO IT BY $5 TRILLION DOLLARS! He didn’t even take the advice of the Simpson-Bowles commission! How many times is PBS going to cut to Rahm “The Fake Tan Rat” Emanuel? I’m fuming here. Listening to this guy talk reminds me of how much I loathed him when he was in office. I was 15 when he left office. I was raised right and was politically smart from a young age. Why? Because I wasn’t indoctrinated in public school. “We simply cannot afford to give the reigns to someone who will double down on trickle down.” Seriously. Get this guy off the stage. “If you want every American to vote, and you think it’s wrong to change voting procedures…” Because the Democrat party would never partake in voter fraud. The fact that I’m still writing infuriates me. Finally. It’s over. The vile man is leaving the stage. Really?! Did Bill just bow to Barack? Taking a cue from our current president, eh? Get these two idiots off the stage.
I’ve muted the talking heads. This was a terrible speech. Oh, don’t doubt me – the Democrats and their willing spokespeople in the media probably loved it and are [self-gratifying] in the press boxes. But I loathed every minute of it. Anyone who buys any of this pathetic excuse for a president’s [malarkey] really needs to see a psychiatrist. The whole night was a train-wreck. Worse than last night. I hate to imagine what’s in store for the finale tomorrow night. I look forward to it being over.
