To: Vision Thing

Wasn't one of the themes of the GOP in 2000 something like "Help is on it's way"?

Mara is saying he gave a "great speech."

These are the same people that said Gore beat Bush handily in the debates.

Ummm... NO.

How 'bout the Pubbies show a clip of the Dems convention tonight followed by the scene from 'Die Hard' where McClain says in order to kill him, "play some rap music"?

Mara thinks she has a chance to be in the White House PR office.

It was the "Hope is on the way" over and over again. We will be hearing it over and over and over again. It's hopeless.

We'll only keep hearing it if we don't take the opportunity to ask (oh so innocently): "The man from Hope? They're running Clinton again?"

Or even: "Say, wasn't that Bush's/Cheney's line in 2000? Boy, these Democrats really CAN'T move on, can they?" Then snicker.

Uh huh, a private party to which AP photographers were invited.

This B. is defending the Dem Bush bashing. These people have no souls.

"I saw that too. The way he pushed his little boy around on the stage was very telling. Like he was trying to force the tike to pose. I also wonder why they mostly carried the little boy. He certainly looked old enough to stand up. (Remembering pics of John-John at JFK's funeral)"

Not only that, first he was holding the little girl in his arms, and she wouldn't turn her face around to the crowd. You could see him telling her to turn around, and she wouldn't do it. So he put her down on the floor and HELD HER IN PLACE standing in front of him.

Black Eyed Peas' song was originally: "Let's Get Retarded", that is let's get drunk!

Lyrics:
Let's Get Retarded, in here...

And the base keep's runnin' runnin' and runnin' runnin' and runnin' runnin' and runnin' runnin' and runnin' runnin' and runnin' runnin' and runnin' runnin' and runnin' runnin' and...

In this context, there's no disrespect
So when I bust my rhyme, you break ya' necks
We got five minutes for us to disconnect,
From all intellect and let the rhythm affect
Obstacles are inefficient, follow your intuition
Free your inner soul and break away from tradition
Coz when we beat out, girl it's pullin' without
You wouldn't believe how we wow shit out
Burn it till it’s it burned out
Turn it till it's turned out
Act up from north, west, east, south

[CHORUS]
Everybody, (yeah) Everybody, (yeah)
Let's get into it, (yeah) Get stupid, (Come on)
Get retarded, (Come on) Get retarded, (Yeah)
Get retarded!
Let's Get Retarded! (Haa!) Let's Get Retarded! (In here!) [x4]
Yeah!

Lose control of body and soul
Don't move too fast, people just take it slow
Don't get ahead, just jump into it
Y'all here about it, tha Peas will do it
Get Stuttered, Get Stupid
Don't worry `bout it, people will walk you through it
Step by step, like an infant new kid
Inch by inch, with the new solution
Transman hits, with no delusion
The feelin's irresistable and that's how we movin'

[CHORUS]

Runnin' runnin' and runnin' runnin......
Come on y'all let's get (woohoo...Ah hah!)
Let's get (cuckoo...In here!)
Why Not Get(cuckoo...Ah hah!)
Let's get (cuckoo...In here!)
Why Not Get(cuckoo...Ah hah!)
Let's get (cuckoo...In here!)
Oww, Oww, Oww...
Ya' Ya' Ya' Ya' Ya' Ya' Ya' Ya' Ya' Ya' Ya' Ya' Ya' Ya' Ya' Ya!!

Let's get ill, that's the deal
At the gate a we'll bring the bud top drill (Just)
Lose your mind, this is the time
Y'all test this drill, adjust and bang ya' spine (Just)
Bop your head like epilepsy, up inside ya' club or in your bentley
Get messy, loud and sick
Y'all mount past slow mo on another head trip (So)
Come then now do not correct it,
Let's get ignant, let's get hectic

(yeah) Everybody, (yeah) Everybody (yeah) Let's get into it (yeah)
Get stupid (Come on) Get Retarded (Come on!) Get Retarded (Yeah!!)
Let's Get Retarded! (Haa!) Let's Get Retarded! (In here!) [x2]
(R-E-T-A-R-D-E-D!)
Let's Get Retarded! (Haa!) Let's Get Retarded! (In here!) [x2]
(WoWoooWoWoooWowoooaarRRHH!!)
(yeah..cuckoo...Ah hah!)
(cuckoo...In here!)

I also wonder why they mostly carried the little boy. He certainly looked old enough to stand up

He's only 4 yrs old and it very late

I'm sure he had a long day being paraded around

Plus .. I'm sure the kid is over whelmed with all those people there screaming

But I agree .. Edwards did look a little annoyed at Jack

"Mara is saying he gave a "great speech." In all objectivity, that is simply false. In all objectivity, this was not a great speech. It was not even a good one. Is Mara dumb, or blinded by her partisanship, or is she consciously lying to support the cause"

I think all these talking heads should go to their news trailors and watch the speech on TV instead of watching it at the convention around all the screamng delegates.
It gets them swept up into the moment I think.

I think that they need to see what the American public sees when watching these speeches. Like Edwards weird blinking etc.
