Republican Party, Teabag Party and the Libertarian Party absolutely SUCK!

When you say "you guys" you had better be prepared to provide proof that I said that or I will make a fool of you .... again!

What he's also missing is that claiming that some of the hatred of Obama has roots in racism is not the same as saying that Republicans are racist.

When did disliking his policies get turned into hatred of him?  I don't know if I'd like him personally or not because I don't know him.  I do know, however that I don't like his policies and that is a total different thing.

About the same time as the Tea Party membership sprung from former couch potatoes.

No it doesn't. I'm sure you have heard the adage "Actions speak louder than words."

Like the actions of those two jerks at the RNC.

Do you know for a fact that it happened, did you actually see it, or are you just going on "anecdotal" evidence?

I like him too, he is direct and tells it like it is.  He may have a shot at it one of these days.

Interesting read on Christie:

(CNN) -- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie built his keynote address to the Republican National Convention on the theme of telling tough truths to the nation. "We have become paralyzed by our desire to be loved," announced Christie, showing off the gruff, no-nonsense style that catapulted him into the governor's mansion.
It's only fair to mention some tough truths about his speech, his tenure as governor and the state of the Republican campaign for president.
The most striking truth (as Democrats pointed out even before the address) is that New Jersey under Christie has suffered from a severely troubled economy and soaring costs of government: the very things that Republicans like Christie blame on Democrats.

Errol Louis
As of July, New Jersey's unemployment rate stands at 9.8%: higher than the national average, fourth worst among the 50 states and the highest level in 35 years. The rate is higher than on the day Christie took office in 2010 and nearly a full percentage point higher than earlier this year, when Christie's State of the State address exultantly and repeatedly claimed that a "New Jersey Comeback" was under way.
And despite Christie's boasts about trimming the cost of government in the Garden State -- the keynote speech repeated his frequent claim of balancing three state budgets -- some fiscal watchdogs attribute the budgets to creative accounting, not true cost containment.
"A hard truth Christie absolutely will not tell is that every one of his budgets has been unbalanced by more than $2.5 billion," notes Bloomberg news blogger Josh Barro, citing Christie's bad habit -- started by previous governors -- of skimping on payments into the state's pension fund.
This year, for example, Christie paid just over $1 billion into the fund, a record amount but far less than the $3.74 billion that actuaries said was needed, according to Barro. Those unpaid billions are, in effect, a loan that will have to be repaid by taxpayers someday.

No wonder Christie omitted "New Jersey Comeback" from his keynote address.
Put aside the ugly economics, and Christie's speech was unusually good. He read well from the teleprompter, even though he normally speaks without a prepared text. And he was persuasive, showing off the skills of his old job as a federal prosecutor.
Most important, from a political perspective, Christie had a smooth launch onto the national stage, talking more about Chris Christie -- much more -- than about the man of the hour, candidate Mitt Romney. In the seven-page text of the address sent to reporters, Romney's name doesn't appear until near the bottom of page five.
That's no surprise: Keynote addresses at the national conventions often serve as the launching pad for politicians preparing their own bids for president, and Christie has not shied away from talk that he might be a candidate in 2016 or later.
But even the most successful convention-speech-as-launch-pad of recent times -- the keynote delivered at the 2004 Democratic convention by a then-little-known Illinois state senator named Barack Obama -- lavishly praised Sen. John Kerry, the party's nominee that year. Though Obama called Kerry's name 13 times in that speech, Christie mentioned Romney only seven times.
Clearly, Christie's political star is rising. But he may also need to refine his "tough truths" mantra. The underlying message -- a promise to shrink government and reduce programs like Medicare -- is risky business in an election year.
Voters, like supermarket shoppers, want as much as they can get for as little as they can get away with paying. Our nation's airwaves and billboards are chock full of companies advertising two-for-one sales and buy-one-get-one-free specials for a reason: it works.
By contrast, you rarely see stores advertise the hard truth that the product isn't as good as they thought, the supplies are limited and the cost is going up.
If the tough-talk message helps Romney win the White House in November, Christie is assured a bright future on the national stage. But if he hopes to repeat any version of Obama's astounding leap from keynote to candidate, he'll have to get New Jersey's fiscal house in order pronto.

If that fat fuck, Christie, is such a hero, why is his state statistically one of the worst in the nation on poverty and unemployment statistics?

Face it, this is the last gasp of the racist nativists in this country trying to make it the year of the OWG.

BTW: Putrid Ryan is giving his speech and he's not generating too much enthusiasm for all his punchlines.  In fact most of them are getting lukewarm responses - except for the ones that are pandering to the racist/nativist element.

  Hey, why are all of the speakers and the Republican convention using Teleprompters.  Oh my god they are using the horrible instrument.  The Republicans have be raising hell and making fun of Obama using them.  You want to know why Republicans are using them?  It's to keep Mittens and Bug Eyes from stepping on their dicks. 

  And I know you all have heard that Fox News won't let Sarah Palin interview anyone at the Republican Convention.  I wonder why.  Cause she is one stupid broad and wacko.    What gets me is Henry and "ME" voted for them.  Voted for them to be president and vice-president of the United States of America.

If ya can't beat 'em on the issues do a character assassination......yep run Forrest run with it.

  Hey, why are all of the speakers and the Republican convention using Teleprompters.  . . .

Yet another validation of the hypocrisy of the repugnican party.

They lambaste the POTUS for using them, and yet when it was pointed out that their "heroes" used them in the past, and their current idols use them today, they treat it as perfectly acceptable. . . 

[me]

No one was using them Tue night.
