Random Thoughts From The Democratic National Convention
- Michelle Obama managed to get through her entire speech without attacking “whitey,” which of course makes her a flip-flopper.
- Hey John Kerry: 2004 called and desperately wants to know why the fuck you saved this shit for 2008.
- Hillary Clinton choked down enough bile to feed…well a whole lot of whatever eats bile. Sigorney Weaver on hand with flame thrower just in case things get out of hand.
- omgomgomgomg Barrack Obama made a surprise appearance…to the Democratic National Convention. How weird was that?
- Joe Biden: “McCain is a war monger just like Bush.”
- Joe Biden: “Obama will nuke the holy fuck out of Russia because it pleases him.”
- Barack Obama is so cool that he’s going to give his acceptance speech tonight at Mile High Stadium in front of a bunch of greek pillars. In a toga. And sunglasses. Standing on a pony keg.

I thought John Kerry spoke well four years ago as well. Unfortunately Americans don’t care if you’re well spoken. They care if you hate gay people.
John McCain will win because he will promise to compromise himself and hate the things the people he needs to vote for him want him to hate. Period.
Welcome to four more years.

Kerry’s speeches had great content, but his delivery was abysmal. He also suffered from the inability to package complicated issues into conveniently packaged soundbites. Americans don’t want to understand the nuances about the Shias and the Suni’s, or the South Ossetians and Georgians and Russians. Americans want to hear “they hate our freeedom” or “the cold war is over.” That’s why Kerry lost. He couldn’t speak to the lowest common denominator. Well, that and the fact that he never mounted a credible defense to the swiftboaters.
I think this election is going to be a lot closer than Dems thought it was going to be, but don’t underestimate Obama. The dude took on the most powerful and supported Democratic couple in the recent history of the party, and he beat them handily. The magnitude of that feat cannot be understated. This was Hillary Clinton’s year, and Obama not only beat her, he did it without destroying the party. The PUMA Clinton supporters notwithstanding, they are daily becoming more and more fringe. If he can topple the Clinton empire, he stands a damn good chance at toppling the GOP.

John Kerry lost because he can’t provide what American’s needed most at the time, toughness. American’s don’t hate gay people, about 10% of the far right does, just like about 10% of the far left want to abolish the meaning of man and woman.
Obama might win because Americans are tired of the old politics. Americans want change. The bad thing is it can either change to the better or change to the worse. A true great country is one that provide everyone with the opportunity to excel and to fail, not a nanny state where people are restrained to do things because that might hurt them. Wealth is not static, it is created. The more freedom you give people, the more wealth they will create (Look at north/south Korea, pre/post free market China). That is why you stimulate economy by lower taxes, where someone might get richer, but they will also bring up the over all wealth of all people.
Obama is proposing the opposite, he want more taxes (just ask yourself, do you want to live in America where wealth is not evenly allocated, or in North Korea where wealth is evenly allocated), and he is already using some of the national socialist party’s tactics on media.
