I was struck by the comment of Obama throwing Israel under the bus. I think this was added in today after the report the the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs said that if Israel attacked Iran, they are on their own.

“The world tends to reject and desensitize us to goodness.”

Mitt Romney is a filthy liar and a backstabber.

Is he better than Obama? Maybe. And I respect those who hold their nose and vote for Flipper. But I can’t do it.

“Personally I see nothing phoney nor “gross and fake” in Mitt Romney”

Let’s see:

Pro abortion until ran for president
Anti-gun until ran for president
Pro-gays in boy scouts
Pro-gay marriage, until ran for President
Father of ObamaCare

Etc.

The only difference between Obama and Romney is Obama is honest about being a disgusting liberal while Romney lies about it and pretends to be a conservative.

He’s gross and fake.

Thanks, STARWISE! I didn’t listen to the whole of Jeb’s speech, but I certainly listened to the beginning! Brillian! I loved the way he directly addressed BHO. <

[ The Friends were upset that the networks failed to show the Mitt video which showed the side of Mitt so few know about. ]

The didn’t show it? That ticks me off. I thought the networks always showed those videos. The video was very well done and effective. It was a calculated partisan decision on their part not to show it.

“Wait until the DNC to see the huge contrast of what the major networks “block out.”

Agree! I’ve been thinking about this during the week, and, while I suspect it will never happen wanted to throw it out there.

Given the alphabet networks, MSNBC, CNN and from I’ve read even PBS (they do get taxpayer $s) at times haven’t shown all of the RNC, the RNC should compare the time allotted to the RNC to what is provided for the DNC by each network and demand in-like payment in time or $s for the difference in the time given to each convention. Just my $.02.

Best,
SC

The Republican convention’s main theme was the economy and getting people jobs. Can anyone explain to me why illegal immigration was not addressed? Afterall America now houses aprroximately 20-40 million illegal aliens of whom at least half have taken American jobs.
