“I hope they do nothing but tout abortion, hate the rich, call Mitt Romney a dog-hating Mormon weirdo, and remind people that Paul Ryan wants to kill your grandmother - because I don’t think that’s going to play in Peoria.”
Which is exactly why they’re NOT going to do that. Watch for a relatively ‘moderate’ convention (by dem standards, that is).
I’m not sure, they have Sandra Fluke (a thoroughly useless person it seems to me) and the heads of both NARAL and Planned Parenthood on the schedule.
Not to mention beloved former pres. Jimmy Carter (via video).
Obama has had many, many chances to move to the center, starting in November, 2010; he’s rejected every one.
Now, I admit, a lot of people aren’t going to see any more of the dem speakers than they did of the republican ones, so who knows how it will come across to the average viewer.
But, they’ll be on full display on C-Span and I reckon anyone who is seriously interested will watch there.
I mean, they are having a giant sand statue of Obama!
I think they’re doubling down, tripling down, and I hope it blows up in their faces.
Their message of deviancy, dependency and debt must be rejected.
