These musical interludes, and the accompanying dancing delegates (would writhing be a better term?) make me want to shoot my TV.

[AmericanMade1776]

Democrats are un-cool....JUST LOOK AT EM....all aging hippies...

[cyncooper]

Twice today he has used the term "people need to be able to buy beer". I don't know why he thinks that is what will convince people to vote for Sen. Ketchup.

That's to show they understand the wants and needs of the "little guy" who works all day and wants to be able to "buy beer".

Talk about condescending.

[tapatio]

I'll be back in a few -- gotta go to the kitchen and get a spoon, to gouge out my eyeballs, so that I may never have to watch this again!

LOL!!!

[Timeout]

Want to see Tim Russert swoon? No, I thought not....so don't turn on MSNBC!

Edwards' dad was a mill worker! Who got laid off! He can connect! WOW!!!

Well. I really don't expect the next president to go around laying off mill workers. But, Tim seems to think W just might.

[CounterCounterCulture]

These people are killing James Brown...

Exactly - 2nd time in 3 nights on this song

[the Deejay]

The Repubs have to be taking serious notes on this thing and should rebut all the lies thoroughly at their own convention. We shall see.

Lordy, Lordy, I sure hope so! Maybe we should email the RNC and make sure they've been watching, taking notes and intend to rebut all this hogwash.

[Mo1]

Harry Reid is up now

[Bahbah]

Don't drink until you are of age, and then do it responsibly. My girls do and they are in their early twenties. Nice to have you with us.

[McGruff]

I think there are gremlins in the system. I posted this:

Jesse sounded like he was reading somebody else's speech. Even Chrissy Matthews said it wasn't one of his best.

but it shows up as:

I'm pinging John Robinson to see that glitch.

[K1avg]

Kucinich in five minutes. Anticipating a Demcon 4 from that weirdo...

I wouldn't be surprised if he ducked all the anti-Bush-bashing rules and threw down some major whoppers, as he has nothing to lose, since his political career is officially ruined...Sharpton's a probable for some big anger, too...

[NYC GOP Chick]

Actually, the painful "dance" interludes serve to remind me that these creatures are the opposition. A bunch of ridiculous jackasses who can't keep a beat.

[ride the whirlwind]

Gold-miner's son on now....Reid

[tapatio]

Oh jeez.Mill worker,now we get the coal miner!

[Bahbah]

LOL, I didn't know much about the guy and I found your post "enlightening".

[NYC GOP Chick]

What's that you're saying??? Edwards's father worked in a meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel?! I was truly not aware of that!

[the Deejay]

OH no! My senator Reid up now. moan! I wish Senator John Ensign was mine but he's not and we can't get Reid to resign.

[maica]

This is one of the most valuable aspects of Free Republic - the sharing of news and knowledge from everywhere.

[K1avg]

You sound like my parents. ;)
