2012 Democratic National Convention: Charlotte, NC - September 4th - 6th

[Eaglewings]

I just saw the stage on C-SPAN's video of the podium unveiling, DNC Podium Unveiling | Campaign 2012 | C-SPAN. It's HUGE! I can't image what it would be like in a crowd of thousands cheering moving this country forward.

The energy is going to get loud for sure, I would love to go to one of these conventions someday.

Obama is coming to my area on Tuesday.. Dang, wish I wasn't gonna be busy at work.. I'd go protest.

Lucky Dog... Clinton came to our town and I saw him while in a huge crowd, it was exciting.

 

[Papageorgio]

I can feel the excitement building. Wow...

Getting a tingle up your leg? Maybe you pissed your pants instead.

Seeing Obama is exciting? I can't think of any politician I'd being excited about just seeing them. Now, dinner, a few beers, sure but just to get a look at a guy? Nope, no one is worth that. Is met Reagan and George Sr., they were nice but I would go out of my way to see them.

Get yourself a job answering the Jack-In-The-Box clown phone in Trenton, and you can hear a 45 minute Christie speech daily.

Why would I want to listen to him? I told you earlier lard ass, that they are not all that impressive. I can't help it if your Dickie doo gets a hard on when you see a politician, they are servants they need me, I don't need them.

He was just like anyone else. Not a big deal. If I got to have a beer, then that would be different.

Just in case you missed this post

When you vote remember this
Since 1946 democrats have controlled the government in part or whole for 60+ years
they dropped the A-bomb

They have expanded the welfare system to a point that it makes for a comfortable life style.
A democrat signed the assault weapons ban
A democrats signed NAFTA
A democrat took money from social security to make it look like there was a surpplus
A democrat gave us a recession
A democrat lied his way to election but continued Bush policy
A democrat extended and expand portions of the Patriot act
A democrat signed into law the NDAA 2012 indefinite detention
A democrat gave aid to Americas enemy in Libya
A democrat by passed congress and gave amnesty to illegals
A democrat refused to assist border states with illegals crossing the border

Record number of Americans on food stamps 64 million last checked

42 straight months of Unemployment 8% or higher

Americas AAA credit rating DOWN GRADED

Even though the recession was over in 2009 things have not gotten better in the industry's that drive the economy Manufacturing and Construction

I haven't seen gas below 3.00 a gallon in North Carolina since obama's first year in office.

American tax payers lost money on a democrats bailout to unions and CEO'S that supported Democrats
American tax payer lost money on bankrupt green energy company's
A democrat allowed firearms into the hands of Mexican terrorists
A democrat did back door deals to create the biggest tax on the middle class in Americas history called obamatax.

I'm sure it won't have the suspense of a doddering old man yelling at a chair.

 

[Dick Tuck]

I noticed that both former Democratic Presidents will address the convention. I noticed that neither Bush addressed the GOP. Why are they ashamed of their legacy.

 

[copsnrobbers]

I understand several of the events are going to be open to the public.

Yeah and on C-span too.

That would be consistent with past conventions.

Yes, but not consistent with Obama's message when he was a candidate.
Transparency my ass.
