saveliberty Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Drunkblogging Bill Clinton’s DNC Speech Martinis and Bubba. by Stephen Green Bio September 5, 2012 - 7:09 pm 7:09PM OK, here we go. I have a massive head cold and an even bigger scotch. This will get ugly. 7:10PM Sandra Fluke as a warmup act to Bill Clinton. Irony is dead on the left. It died young and left a corpse that wasn’t all that attractive, considering how much it spent on contraceptives. 7:10PM “Empowered.” Drink. 7:15PM Guess we’re going to have to let that Costco membership slide. What a shame — we’ve needed a lot of cheap booze the last four years. 7:17PM Wow. They brought out Elizabeth Warren for real. “I never dreamed I’d be the warmup act for President Bill Clinton.” Yeah… neither did he. 7:18PM Rich Democrats telling sob stories to a nation with 11% (real) unemployment won’t go over so well, methinks. 7:19PM I’m watching the C-SPAN feed, meaning I get all of this without any sort of cutaways or commercial interruption. So… y’all owe me, bigtime. ********** H/T Instapundit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveliberty Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 More comic relief: Menino no ‘mordel’ speaker By Howie Carr Thursday, September 6, 2012 - Updated 2 hours ago Mumbles Menino will never let you down. Right out of the box yesterday at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, he introduces himself to the crowd of delegates. “I come from Boston ... where millions of students have come to study, and ‘cluding’ a great American name, Martha Luther King Jr.” That’s what he said, Martha Luther King Jr. Any relation to BU grad Martin Luther King Jr., Mumbles? He was a Republican, you know. Speaking of Republicans, that was Mumbles’ assignment, taking down Mitt Romney a few pegs. Even Mumbles had to admit “we worked together pretty well” — like before the 2004 Democratic convention, when Mitt and Mumbles got together to save Liveshot Kerry’s convention while he played Hamlet up in Louisburg Square. But that was then, and this is now, and it’s time to put the blast on Willard. “His campaign’s based in Boston, a city mooing forward.” Not moving, mooing. ************* Mitt Romney's first name is Willard. Howie also treated Dukakis to this treatment: M. Stanley Dukakis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saveliberty Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Posted at 11:24 PM ET, 09/05/2012 Horror show: Wednesday night at the DNC By Jennifer Rubin Wednesday was a wonderful political day for Republicans. Let’s recap. The day started off with the flap over platform language. That in turn led to the spectacle of Democratic delegates booing the vote to put back Jerusalem and God back into the platform. It was even in the eyes of the most Obama-sympathetic media a horrid disruption, signaling both incompetence and hostility to things that many if not most Americans hold dear. The news got worse as Politico reported that the president had signed off on the platform sans God and Jerusalem. The Romney camp could hardly believe the avalanche of atrocious press. (Democratic National Committee chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s insistence that there had been no controversy brought CNN’s Anderson Cooper to declare she was operating in an “alternate universe.”) It was a remarkable, actual newsmaking episode, something we rarely get at conventions. Moreover, it was the worst blunder in a scripted TV event in recent memory. ******** H/T Instapundit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveliberty Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) Posted at 11:58 PM ET, 09/05/2012 Bill Clinton’s long, long speech about the meanie Republicans By Jennifer Rubin Bill Clinton, don’t get me wrong, was the best speaker Wednesday night. But that is largely because the rest of the evening was atrocious. Clinton was hoarse, and he seemed to holler for no reason at all. He decried those meanie Republicans of today (the favorite ploy of partisan Democrats is to praise every Republican no longer in office), and he repeated the tropes that Republicans want you to be on your own, want a “winner-take-all” society and want to help only the rich. Yawn. At times his defense of President Obama strained credulity: Obama, he said, is bipartisan because he hired Republicans in government jobs and he is willing to work “cooperatively.” The Obama record is so obviously at odds with that sentiment (unilateral action on immigration and on welfare and the refusal to make a deal entitlements or address the fiscal cliff) that Clinton’s argument seemed unserious. ********* H/T Instapundit Edited September 6, 2012 by saveliberty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveliberty Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Romney: DNC a 'celebration of failure' By Justin Sink - 09/05/12 06:11 PM ET Mitt Romney blasted the first day of the Democratic convention on Wednesday, saying that the effort by his political rivals was "so far a celebration of failure." Romney and his allies have pounced on Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley's comments over the weekend that Americans are not better off than they were four years ago. The top Democratic surrogate has since walked back those remarks, and officials with the Obama campaign have contended this week that Americans are better off under Obama's presidency. But the Republican nominee brushed aside those assertions in an interview with Fox News, noting that the "better off" message hasn't been expressed from the stage in Charlotte, N.C. ******** H/T Instapundit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saveliberty Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 God not “booed” but DNC Policies and Smarts Unclear September 5, 2012 By Elizabeth Scalia 4 Comments After the Democrats made a hasty move to restore God and a policy about Jerusalem into their national platform, from which they’d earlier been expunged, I see a lot of headlines (and tweets) about this video, and describing convention attendees as “booing God and Jerusalem. If, in fact, that’s what they’re doing, you gotta think that (especially for the so-called “smart” party**), that’s pretty dumb. Not only do you not put those optics out there, you also don’t give an impression that you’re done with God or weak on God’s holiest spot, Jerusalem, and you especially don’t do it when the headlines are blaring that your policy on Jerusalem is so oblique as to be indeterminable. You want to take a stand. You want your position to be clear, or at least seem clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveliberty Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) Jerusalem Debacle at the DNC: Whither the Jewish Vote? September 6, 2012 - 12:00 am - by Roger L Simon I was both elated and scared when I heard the “nays” and “boos” emanating from the Democratic National Convention floor Wednesday as a pathetic Antonio Villaraigosa desperately tried to take votes amending the Democratic platform on “God” and “Jerusalem” — elated because I was watching a bogus public dumb show come apart, at least temporarily, at the seams, but scared because I was staring, again at least temporarily, into the gaping yaw of the 1930s. For those fleeting seconds, I realized that, yes, it could also happen here, because, make no mistake about it, those copious boos were not for “God” (except, perhaps, for a few scattered nitwits), but for Israel. A sizable and serious claque on the Democratic National Convention floor was shouting and applauding against the Jews.

And by the way, after last night, I want a man who had the good sense to marry Michelle Obama.” “I want Barack Obama to be the next president of the United States and I proudly nominate him as the standard bearer of the Democratic Party,” he said, kicking off his remarks.

righteousmomma Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I just read the transcript of Clinton's speech. Let's all of us be nice and co operative and stop our evil progress blocking ways and reelect the only ones who can save us. One thing ya have to give Clinton- he is a masterful politician - probably the most charming, smartest, best self agrandizing lie-ing hypocrite there is. Calling all idiots who were on the fence. Just watch for the donkey paddies. Hey Repubs, it's not the economy , stupid. It's ideology. Btw, Drudge has excerpts from Woodward's new book. They don't exactly jive with Clinton's evaluations.

Pepper Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Did anyone see the voice vote at the DNC on changes to platform recognizing Jerusalem as capital and restoring God? They had to take three voice votes before the chairman finally said the vote was the way the DNC wanted it to be, agreed to. Even CNN is saying it was embarrassing for the DNC to not even be able to agree. I think this crowd would vote to deny the holocaust. As Lars Larson said, being forced to do the right thing at the point of a gun is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 The Night — and Maybe the DNC — Belonged to Bill Clinton Bridget Johnson 9/5/12 President Clinton came just five minutes shy of the length of his 1992 nomination speech in a gift tonight to President Obama: an endorsement speech that hit on every embattled topic from ObamaCare and “shared prosperity” to voter ID and the DREAM Act. “We’re here to nominate a president, and I’ve got one in mind,” Clinton said. “I want to nominate a man whose own life has known its fair share of adversity and uncertainty. …I want a man who believes with no doubt that we can build a new American dream economy, driven by innovation and creativity, by education and, yes, by cooperation.

Obama came out on stage after the 48-minute address — the third-longest in Clinton’s seven Democratic National Conventions — for a stiff hug and to pose for the cameras together. The state roll call then began to formally nominate Obama for a second term. But the night belonged to the two-term president from Arkansas.

Valin Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 @Valin Thanks for that image of the teleprompter for God and Israel vote http://www.therights...rdless-outcome/ @Valin Some of us are talking about this at CGP greenleaf "Is it possible to believe in a Judeo-Christian God, and be a democrat? Maybe just barely, but you had better keep it quiet." Valin "God is not a Democrat...God is not a Republican...God is. The question is not, or should not be, Is God On Our Side...but as Abraham Lincoln put it, Are We On Gods Side. That being said...one thing I think is true (and yesterdays platform vote bears me out) one party is more outwardly secular than the other."
