Bucking protocol, President Obama and the Democrats are planning a full-scale assault on Republicans next week during their convention.

Presidential candidates have traditionally kept a low profile during their opponent's nominating celebration, but Democrats are throwing those rules out the window in an attempt to spoil Mitt Romney’s coronation as the GOP nominee.

President Obama, Vice President Biden and leading congressional Democrats have all scheduled high-profile events next week to counter-program the Republican gathering in Tampa, Fla.

Even first lady Michelle Obama is in on the act, scheduling an appearance on the “David Letterman Show” smack in the middle of Romney's nominating bash.

Political historians say the high stakes of this year's elections — combined with the rise of today’s 24/7 media culture — have forced leaders on both sides of the aisle to get more aggressive.

You don't have to be a classless jerk just because your opponent is being a classless jerk.

This just makes the Dems seem desperate.

Democrat Desperation: The world's worst cologne...

I think that people are just sick of this regime, and the only outlet available to them to do something about it is November 6th, and that's exactly what they will do...

I can just feel it..

Bucking protocol, President Obama and the Democrats.....

The Marxist "community organizer" and professor agitator, Saul Alinksy, whose theories helped young Barry Soetero (aka Barack Hussein Obama) to cut his eyeteeth in the jungle that is Cook County, Illinois, Democratic Party politics, put it well he gave full credit where credit was due:

“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history... the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”

Let me get this straight, in one breath the Dems tell their minions to pounce on the GOP in Tampa and in the very same breath they are warning that a hurricane is imminent. What are they thinking??????

Here’s what you do.. You send Chris Christie out there to Biden’s rally and extend a warm invitation to him to come to the convention so he can tell a national audience where the jobs are.
