Why let the facts get in the way of a perfectly good narrative?

What more can conservatives ask for come DNC Weekend?Things are only going to get worse over the next 6 weeks.We can assume that the July Jobs Number will be even more embarrassing than June.Unemployment will probably jump up,pushing 16 trillion in debt,war in Syria,overall the worst economic data since 2008, etc. We need to nickname the DNC event,,"The Send In The Clowns Convention".The only reason we will be watching is to witness the libs making total jackasses of themselves blaming all of the worlds problems on the honorable George Bush !!.
and who can’t wait for the debbie wasserman speech? hey, at least we will all have something to keep us laughing histerically for 20 minutes. has a nose ever grown on live TV?
Obama killed bin laden. Personally. With his bare hands.
What will Dems boast about?
The great recovery, of course. What else?
washerwoman-slutz et al will be saying, “We wish it were better — but WOW! just think how much worse it would be without this admin’s policies!”
They never change.
The woman speaks funny. It's not a lisp and it's not quite slurring but she seems to have some kind of, annoying, speech impediment.
I really hope the media cover this convention in all it’s glory. Could be more fun than an Occupier march.
Why let the facts get in the way of a perfectly good narrative?
The nice warm weather, the dollar hasn’t failed yet, Al gore has gone missing.
People are in a panic over this economy worse than 2008
“...save or create 3 million jobs...”
“...made health insurance mandatory...err... available to 40 million Americans...”
They’ll just lie and boast about the great recovery, and then they’ll attack Republicans endlessly. That seems to work for them.
well since the price of styrafoam has gone up 35%, Bambi will perform his second boring/meaningless speech surrounded by the Oz Munshkins.
The BLS (Bureau of Lies and Statistics) is working overtime. Unemployment will be < 3%, cost of living index will be < .10%, etc. and the summer of recovery will blossom just before election day.
god, i wish chris wallace would ask wasserman,,,”But Congresswomen Wasserman, you realize every economic indicator is much worse than it was 4 years ago, our nation is about to fall off a cliff if the deomocrats don’t do something to help the economy,,,so therefore miss wasserman,what are you going to talk about at the convention?”
“and who can’t wait for the debbie wasserman speech?”

It’s called Jewish whine. It’s endemic, it’s incurable and it’s unending!
What are THE MAJORITY of conservatives going to do about Mitt Romney, during the ‘12 GOP Convention? Will the majority of conservatives be: respectful to Mitt, reserved to Mitt (be quiet and “take it”), or complaining up to, even possibly, rebelliouis to Mitt?
Debbie Wasserman: well Mr.Cronkite, you see, none of this is Obama’s fault, we are still in the Bush recession, and as you know, it took 9 years for ronald reagan to fix the mess his predacessor.,John Kennedy caused.
(well,,,,it will be something close to that)
Oh, his Cabinet? How cute!
That the economy is doing great.
The general themes will be:
* R’s make war on, torture and kill women, hispanics, blacks, gays and kittens.
* George Bush is to blame for everything that is not perfect.
* Obama personally shot Osama.
* Mitt Romney made a bunch of money at a big company. He, too makes war on, tortures and kills women, hispanics, blacks gays and kittens. And worse, he really enjoys it.
* Bankers are really really bad and they stole all of your money. Mitt Romney held the flashlight.
* Republicans are mean. Obama has tried to be nice to them over and over but they just stay mean.
* And, in case the audience forgets, R’s make war on, torture and kill women, hispanics, blacks, gays and kittens. By the way, they are racist, too.
* What is this unemployment rate you speak of?
* What is this “deficit” you speak of?
* What is this “recession” you speak of?
what i would really want to see happen going into DNC week is two things,,,the DOW continuing to tank close to 10,000,and after the RNC convention, Romney takes a commanding 10 point lead in every poll.
The economy will tank and the Boy Emperor will hand the masses another cash giveaway.
Extend unemployment, bigger food stamp allowance, more WIC, anothe cash for clumkers, and seize all retirement accounts and put their management in the hands of government union workers.
Ah yeah, I forgot all the bullcrap about “saved jobs”.
“If it wasn’t for us, you’d all be unemployed! But thanks to the stimulus you all still have jobs. You’re welcome!”
Ugh.
They are not going to brag on anything. They’re going use bigotry (Did you know Romney’s a Mormon and that his grandfather was a polygynist?) and class warfare.
They’ll also gleefully fund organizations that remind us that Romney’s political history is not very conservative.
That, together with vote fraud, could very well put them over the top.
” If you’ve got a bad July Jobs Report, you didn’t cause that, somebody else made that happen.”
BTW, Obama is over 50 years old. Don’t you think it is high time that he stopped playing the kindergarten game of “I, didn’t do it, HE did!” ?
The economy isn’t going to get any better by election time, so look for the Dems to try to prove a lot of “false positives”, with “It would’ve been so much worse without Obama’s policies” leading the pack.
Wanna know when the Dems know it’s really over? Pay close attention and note when they begin to hint that there could be unrest if Obama loses. It’ll be subtle, but by that point it will be all they have left.
“Wanna know when the Dems know it’s really over? Pay close attention and note when they begin to hint that there could be unrest if Obama loses. It’ll be subtle, but by that point it will be all they have left”
You know what? I think you are spot on! This is guaranteed to happen. The only question is when. Will it be as late as election night itself, or much sooner as voter sentiment begins to shift and show that Obama is going to lose.
So, indeed I am going to start paying close attention to this, listening and watching for the emergence of this meme in the alphabet networks and bird-cage-liner-press, knowing of course that they’re simply repeating what they’ve been told to say by the Obammunist.
Extend unemployment, bigger food stamp allowance, more WIC,
This evening I went to the grocery store. On the way in I heard, then saw, a rather large woman at one of the checkout stands, arguing with the cashier about why her card (EBT?) didn't work after several swipes, that she'd "just gotten $400 loaded" onto it, and there must be some misunderstanding. She was rather loud and agitated.
By the time I checked out with my groceries about 20+ minutes later, she was still there arguing with the cashier.
Wonder how that worked out. It's not the first of the month for another week or so.
Is the Democrat Convention on the cartoon network?
Heaven forbid if Obama was to get re-elected. But my question is this—who will he blame from the previous fours years for his failures in his second term if that were to happen? Himself? Or would he still be blaming Bush because the narcissistic, egotist can’t take responsibility for his own failings?
Just wonderin’.........
We’re Still Running against George Bush!
It’s Still Bush’s Fault!
Biden will deliver the economics lesson of “We have to spend more in order to avoid bankruptcy.”
Wonder why the cascade of California towns who spent a TON of money they didn’t have, couldn’t avoid bankruptcy like Biden says spending more money will do for ya.
My favorite
Bankers are really really bad and they stole all of your money. Mitt Romney held the flashlight.
heck a lot
the number of people on food stamps, the number of disability, the number collecting unemployment
the poverty rate, lots to be proud of.
A lot of people have dismissed rationality to support Obama, maybe rationality will make a come back during the convention... can imagine someone saying to themselves, “I can’t believe I did that”...
You know what? I think you are spot on! This is guaranteed to happen. The only question is when. Will it be as late as election night itself, or much sooner as voter sentiment begins to shift and show that Obama is going to lose.
I'm sure the internal polling is showing Obama in real trouble already, but it's too soon for them to start the talk of unrest. If I had to guess I'd say probably about 3 weeks out, give or take a few days.
Bring it on.
