Who's Still Happy That We Had A "Kinder, Gentler" Convention?

[jayfish]

Cause ya know what? The favor is not being reciprocated and no one is going to help. They are going to attack for a week straight and there will be no counter to any of it. Kerry's time in the spotlight is over and he has nothing to show for it.

1. I JUST said this in another post

it makes me sick...why are we so damn nice and polite and courteous??? what for? get these bastards...

[HootieMcBoob]

8. are you surprised?

It's de javu all over again. The Democrats will never learn. Attack! Attack! Attack! They like to play nice and they are not respected for it and they get their asses handed to them time and again.

[michigandem2]

clinton hit them head on..everytime they opened their

mouths...I hope we start responding to this crap soon...its lies..its exploitation..and its just disrespect for Kerry and his war record..they are cult members...I am so irritated...

[aquart]

2. I am.

Remember that most of the nation already knows what they are. You think this changed their opinion?

[feistydem]

10. Me too. If the Dems had pulled this crap I'd be ashamed to be one of them!

It's just one more of the many differences between the parties. To be a Republican these days you have to either lack intelligence or compassion or both.

[soothsayer]

22. me, three

They are shameless and unbelievably ugly. Don't forget, the danger of fighting monsters is turning into one (think abu gharaib). Nice that Kerry hasn't turned into a monster...

[jayfish]

12. Unfortunately, Yes.

[Piperay]

24. I am too

the repukes can get away with nastiness the Democrats can't, that's what it boils down to a double standard.

[mbali]

3. I am . . .

We don't need to turn into them to beat them.

[jayfish]

16. Turning Into Them is One Thing.

Completely flinching away from any mention of them is another.

4. Attack With What?

More lame speeches?

[Cha]

5. Not to mention Cooler, more Truthful, Cohesive,

Superbly Choreographed! And blissfully Entertaining!

[feistydem]

13. Yeah! Patti LaBelle kicked! And I'll take Moore over Miller anyday!

[liberalmuse]

6. Excellent!

Let the hate emanate from them. Let it spill out all over the convention floor and through the TV sets. I hope they continue it, non-stop. I hope this convention shines the light on the true face of the Republican Party.

[LoZoccolo]

7. I am.

In general, normal people don't like this ugliness. Our talking point is secure - they have nothing to run on.

[Sparkly]

9. It's a question of which the media would have used against us more

They were playing "gotcha" anytime a Democrat came close to "Bush-bashing," and they pretend no issues were mentioned. If the Democrats had done what the Republicans did tonight, they'd have been killed by the media.

But no matter what disgusting lows the Republicans sink to, the media will claim success for them.

[Doosh]

11. if we tried what the repugs just did

it would've gone over even worse, the Scarborough's, Matthews, Banres, Hannity's and Hume's of the world would've completely torn us to shreds, the rest of the "librul media" would've just nodded in agreement and we would've left Boston with Kerry losing 3-5 points. The media doesn't seize on any distasteful bashing by republicans, but they do on Democrats.

[feistydem]

17. Plus we don't have the terror alert to raise tomorrow.

[ant]

14. is the election tomorrow?

Kerry's time in the spotlight is not over. Let them attack all they want, and then let's settle in for two months of talking heads and, of course, the debates.

[jayfish]

20. I Think The Debates Are All We Have left. -NT-

Jay

[ogradda]

15. but THEY sounded like idiots

i hope the whole week goes like this - not a single good thing to mention about their nasty selves

[LoZoccolo]

18. That's what I'm like.

They tried to showcase all these moderates and they're still gonna look like nizzuts.

[minkyboodle]

19. we are damned if we do and damned if we don't

If we had attacked we would have been crucified... We didn't now they attack like rabid dogs and the media fawns.... same ol story, Nights like these I worry greatly about the future of this country :(

[Old and In the Way]

21. I am.

Ours inspired hope and the Republicans inspired fear for the future. I'm pretty sure that another few days of this and they'll turn off every undecided voter in this election.

In a few weeks, Bush will have to face Kerry 1 on 1....that's when his bubble gets popped.

[Behind the Aegis]

23. in one way, we look good

I have thought about this alot. Today, I went nuts watching only a few minutes of the RNC. I couldn't believe the lies! They weren't even discussing what the Dumbass will bring to the US, only how bad Kerry is! I was so angry! I thought to myself why did the DNC allow such a "nice show" to take place? However, it was a prudent move..appear gentle, appear passive....NOW, we need to strike and strike hard! We need to take them to task! We need to strike in ways that make them scream for us to stop!

I try not to be a violent person, in word or deed. However, I draw the line at personal attacks! I chose my DU name because it reprints what I feel. The Ageis is a shield, it is to protect from attack. What makes the Ageis different from any other shield is that it is also a weapon as it will reflect any attack against it back to the attacker! The democrats need to do the same, they need to allow the lies to flow back to the attackers! We have no need to cause fear or hate, we have truth on our side. However, truth does no good if it is not used!!!!!

Brightest Blessings!

25. I am

our convention was classy, it wasn't trashy and hateful and I think in the end we will come out ahead because of that. I loved Al Sharpton's speech, he was the only Democrat that really bashed the repukes and all he got was slammed for it by the the commentators and the repukes claiming we were hateful. Now the nation will see who is really hateful and it isn't the Democrats.

26. We had to introduce Kerry

and that is what we did. We did the right thing and the smart thing.

[deakonblues2k]

28. Excuse me...

Yeah...we had to introduce Kerry...but why did we stop there?

We introduced a Viet Nam Vet to a "undecided" populous that wasn't even born then, and problably was out of class room on the 2 days that they discussed it in American History...if they even got past WWII.

What has Kerry been doing lately? Nothing was said...It was all about "reporting for duty". And lets get serious. The wounds for those of us who are old enough to remember are scarred over, but not yet healed for many. He was bound to take a few hits for the anti-war stance that he took and that could not help but come up because of all the time they spent on it...

I remember Clinton's conventions...Granted some of what they were trying to do never got done, but at least the put forth a vision. What we got was a vision of Viet Nam vet wanting to be president. And if that's the basis that I'm gonna choose on.. (which its not) I think I'll go with McCain or Cleland before I go with Kerry.

Regardless of the "Tone" of our convention which I agree was compasionate and uniting...I think we missed a big opportunity to show the big picture. Made Kerry too much of a man, too big of a target, and still too much of an enigma.

Can we order a side of Kerry? And Jumbo Size it please!

[robcon]

29. Thanks, deakonblues2k.

You put into words what I was feeling. The DNC convention was too much of a Kerry biography, and too little of "what Kerry will do for America?"

[LynnTheDem]

27. I'm happier

Why would we want to be like them???

[HootieMcBoob]

31. because they control all three branches of the government?

or should we continue our loosing ways?

[Tight_rope]

30. I most curtain am!....Let the repuke scumbags hang themselves!

What am I saying...they no nothing else except hate, lying, stealing and killing.
