As a rule, i really dont enjoy watching the conventions. They always come off as pretty much what they are intended to be: A big crap filled extravaganza full of meaningless promises, the usual cheerleading, and mindless speeches about how the other team is leading us all to hell in a handbasket. But i think my opinion has changed a little bit after watching the Democratic National Convention the past two nights. Oh sure the focus has been on Teresa Heinz-Kerry after her infamous "shove it" c...

Well the convention just ended a few minutes ago amid pomp and circumstance, and those of us watching it on CNN got a bonus when the internal radio feed was being broadcast live during the closing moments, you could hear the director yelling "where the fuck are the balloons?!?". John Kerrys acceptance speech was a good one, Max Cleland's speech was even better, and i really enjoyed John Kerry daughter telling the story of him giving the drowned hamster CPR. Overall i think the convention w...

Alan Keyes is considering running against Barack Obama for Senate in Illinois. This is somewhat reminiscant of Hillary's Senate run. Isn't a little late in the game for this? I can understand it if he actually moved there months ago. Does this show how worried the GOP is of Obama getting in the Senate? (especially after his speech at the convention) Keyes still lives in MD. What i think is kinda funny is he's their back up choice after Mike Ditka said no, because he couldn't tackle an...

I was sitting here watching Imus in the Morning on MSNBC, and i heard something that really blew me away. They reported that Dick "Go f*** yourself" Cheney was in New Mexico on a campaign visit, and was making people sign a "loyalty oath" to the Republican party before they could come into a campaign rally. Don't we as american voters have the right to hear the candidates regardless of political persuasion? I will check MSNBC's site and post the link if they have a story on this I can...

I saw this on Yahoo today. I knew this months ago from my work with the Clark campaign! Every week we would have more and more of these folks come to our meetups. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=564&e=19&u=/nm/campaign_crossovers_dc Submitted for your approval, Brian

Anybody see this yet? I hope its not true. Him and Powell are the two guys in the current administration that i like. Brian

Ahem... I would like to offer a response from those of us here on JU who supported John Kerry during this election. ("God Bless America" playing in background) We of the democratic persuasion offer our heartfelt congratulations to the winner of this years presidential election, Mr george walker bush 2.0 Inc. You showed us that it is possible to piss off the majority of the country and the rest of the planet, but still manage to pull it together at the last minute...and actually win a...

I found this yesterday. check it out! Link This guy kills me. The fact he's the keynote speaker at the RNC just proves he's a repub. If he is one, he should just join the party. Thanks for reading, Thatoneguyinslc

I saw this today, and thought i would post the link and open up yet another discussion (probably more like a screaming match). Link I should say for the record... I don't always agree with Michael Moore, but he makes a few good points here. Let the games.....BEGIN!! Thanks for reading, thatoneguyinslc

I spotted this on yahoo today. All you blue collar nascar dads that are voting for Bush 2.0....this affects YOU! Remember that when you are in the voting booth. Link

There have been many posts in the blogs today concerning the now famous debate between Michael "butterball" Moore and Bill "sieg heil!" O'Reilly. I watched the so called "debate" between the two of them and came to the conclusion that neither of them won. Moore made one point that i agree with. I do agree that in the end it was Bush that made the mistake of getting us into the quagmire that is the war in Iraq. I totally disagreed with him when he tried to turn it by saying that Bush shoul...
