You're quoting a "Rage Machine" whose schtick was feeding - the appetites of malcontents? Very badly done. SM

I did a little search myself. It took a LOT of avoidance of honest sources to come up with a dead man's post.

Did she say she was blessed? - I didn't hear her speech.

And if she did say she was blessed, did she thank the Source of her blessing? Just wondering.

That she did, and considering the audience - she was addressing,

she left that reference for them to fill in the blank. Otherwise, she would have needed to enumerate all the names for the "Source," assigned by every major global faith, all of whom were in attendance. Because we don't exclude atheists from the tent, and thus are ever mindful of the separation of church and state, the choice of the more generic word "blessing" seems to have covered all those bases.

It's a parallel universe thing where well documented - annotated historical record

is trumped by partisans who find themselves dealing with how much more unbelievable theirs appeals to middle-class voters became after last night's DNC eye-opener. As is to be expected, they cannot point to their own candidate, platform, policy or voting records. They are at a loss on how their "unemployed," I-feel-your-pain vulture capitalist perennial candidate, living off his capital gains income from offshore accounts, can dare to say such things. Particularly challenging are his musings about how many more tax breaks "jobs creators" need while throwing down his "read my lips, no MC taxes" claims that have been handily dismissed by multiple credible nonpartisan economists and tax policy think tanks as "impossible."

Instead, they play the history rewrite card, so well worn and transparent by now, they fail to realize what a joke they are making of themselves.

How about the AP then: Dems "embellish" Obama's record. - see link inside.

I really feel sorry for you liberals because there's just no way to put lipstick on this pig (and hope no one will notice).

...and how about CNN, then: NET 300,000 jobs created - NOT 4.5 MILLION that they keep repeating.

[ In Reply To ..]
...oh, yeah: The article also states that those 300,000 net jobs are not the same jobs that were lost - mostly low-paid retailing and farm jobs.

Facts, facts, pesky facts. Obama lies. - Aunt Sue

...with those each one of those jobs costing about $3 million. - ...and don't forget some are temporary.

It's simply amazing to anyone who is actually paying attention to the facts. The man has a record on the economy that by any measure can only be compared to the Great Chicago Fire, or perhaps the Great San Francisco Earthquake (and which comes out worse to either of those disasters). And yet, here they are in Charlotte, lying through their teeth about their own record while they misrepresent both Romney's record and his plans to get the economy off its back.

Okay - it's expected from these people. What's a little more surprising is that there are more than a dozen people in the country, all of whom are permanent residents of insane asylums, that buy into this crud.

I think there can be only one explanation for this weird phenomenon, and that is that unfortunately we have some people who are more devoted to a party affiliation than any patriotic citizen should ever allow themselves to be.

It's 4 million during his term, when 4.3 were lost. - Hard times. Just the facts, Ma'am. NM

In other words, congressional Republicans are taking the government’s creditworthiness hostage when they threaten not to increase the debt ceiling.

Sarah Palin's new book reprises familiar claims from the 2008 presidential campaign that haven't become any truer over time. Ignoring substantial parts of her record if not the facts, she depicts herself as a frugal traveler on the taxpayer's dime, a reformer without ties to powerful interests and a politician roguishly indifferent to high ambition. Palin goes adrift, at times, on more contemporary issues, too. She criticizes President Barack Obama for pushing through a bailout ...

now that Donald Trump is president, and the more unglued it sounds about an approaching American totalitarian state, the better, hence the liberal cheerleading for "The Handmaid's Tale," a TV series made for the streaming service Hulu.
