September 3, 2012 Democrats Unveil Their National Platform

WASHINGTON - Democrats unveiled a party platform at their national convention Monday that echoes President Barack Obama's call for higher taxes on wealthier Americans while backing same-sex marriage and abortion rights.

Delegates will vote Tuesday to adopt the platform that reflects the president's argument that his work is unfinished and he deserves another four years to complete the job.

"Today, our economy is growing again, al-Qaeda is weaker than at any point since 9/11, and our manufacturing sector is growing for the first time in more than a decade. But there is more we need to do, and so we come together again to continue what we started," the platform said.

Wha? Who do you mean? I hope you are kidding.

There was no talk of queer “marriage” in the 70s. This was absolutely unheard of. Not much talk of abortion before the braindead Supreme Court ruled it legal in 1973. And I meant to say DEMONCRATS.

That appears to be Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz’s ample and well padded derriere.


I think we should have a “ butt off” contest between Moochelle and Washerwoman

I’m totally baffled as to why they didn’t hire Cheap Trick to open the convention up with “Highway to Hell”.


Good one. Very fitting

All true, but the Dems didn't sink this low in just the last few years. They've been pushing the country toward their current degraded objectives for a very long time now. In my view, they haven't been a patriotic American political party since at least the time of Truman.

Oh, they've got plenty of big-@$$ contestants. I saw a real quivering fat-@$$ sheRAT on C-SPIN this morning.

I really really really don't want to see that.

Either that or AC/DC.

Of course that would remind the RATs of Paul Ryan's i-Pod.

I think "Surrender" would be more appropriate.
