Oh my!

A triple play.

Should be interesting.

So I'm watching O'Reilly and he's criticizing the MSM covering the Bristol story so rudely as he spends the whole first part of the show covering the Bristol story and playing all the foul things from other networks. I'm thinking there are some good ole boys who may be a little bent with McCain picking Palin. Hopefully someone will get them on board.

Bush? Harumph. That can't help!

And the ghost of Ronald Reagan will be around all week...

sorry,but I have to watch The Shield opener.

I really like the choice of a background screen at the RNC platform.
Beautiful!

I don't recall the dems making the Pledge a prime time event.

10:40 pm - Sen. Joe Lieberman

I heard the title of his speech is, "Bite me, Dems."

They need a collective spanking now. ingrates. They need to move to some god forsaken communist or third world nation and try and suck off that tit with their "rage".

Bachman is doing a great job!

I'm not happy at all about Michael Savage trashing Palin on his show.

He's constantly railing against establishment politics on his show, and against business as usual. Yet he advocates McCain dropping Palin and replacing her with a business-as-usual politician because that is supposed to win it for McCain.

I probably need to get off the dime & get XM in my car so that I can get more listening choices than Savage. I'm amazed that he lacks the wit and good sense to see Palin's authenticity and character, or to fully understand how Palin has actually given McCain a fighting chance in this election with ordinary Americans.

re: #79 Mich-again

Yes its a bit much when you actually realize what Zach is saying, but you cannot deny their power (ok maybe YOU can if you liked Audioslave, but I digress). I really would LOVE a conservative equivalent of R.A.T.M.

I guess Rage For Some Money, decided to get back together now that Zach's solo career flopped and Audioslave s... well I don't want to offend.

re: #52 WrathofG-d

I still own the C.D., great cd, great song! I'm still waiting for the Conservative equivalent.

I think the song is "Bullet in Your Head" -- and yes, as much as I hate to admit it, RAM does know how to kick out a serious groove. And Tom Morello (despite his odious, infantile political views) is a badass guitarist. (I never did dig the awful quasi-Brooklyn accented rap vocals, though.)

Nice dig about one candidate knowing more about service than the other.

"Government is not the family" yeah!

Bachmann is impressing me.

Saw a dear and conservative co-workers debating the Palin pregnancy with her co-workers, including her boss, but I was too busy to help her out. 10 minutes later I arrived back, and one of the libs returned. She was full of slogans and no substance. If the rest of liberals are like this McCain/Palin are going to kick ass this election....

this is what Obama said

"I've got two daughters. Nine-years-old and six-years-old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby. I don't want them punished with an STD at the age of sixteen" — Barack Obama, comments at a Pennsylvania town hall meeting on March 29th.

So what does this mean? Was he, the anointed one, punishment to his young mother? Or is he saying that he should have been aborted?

The words "rubber bullet" sound wimpy, but that thing is a solid cylinder of rubber about four inches long and the diameter of a silver dollar. Got it as a souvenir in Belfast. The reason they're called baton rounds is that they feel like being hit with a police baton.

I'm waiting for those to come out against the anarchists, but maybe we don't use them.

re: #186 The Shadow Do

Not even close. LOL

Nope. And Teddy Roosevelt is definitely not the first person that would come to mind when thinking about Salem. LOL

re: #160 lifeofthemind

Sounds more like a Bravo material. Less money for a niche audience.

Are they the guys with soft porn after midnite? don't get them anymore...

re: #182 Jetpilot1101

Is that Rachel Lampa?

Ok so my daughters don't laugh at me- who is she?

re: #179 Intrepid

Lampa looks a little like Jessica Alba....

She is very pretty..
But more importantly has a great set of pipes and has a wonderful spirit..
I like her

re: #188 winston06

How middle America is watching this minimal convention when the MSM outlets are not covering it the way they should?

C-Span works as do the live feeds from the RNC and on a slew of other websites. I'm watching the convention without all the talking heads and it's awesome.

re: #192 galloping granny

I agree. But then I think they have been seriously miscalculating for quite some while.

They are cruel.

Sorry to have to admit it, but so far the RNC hootenbanny is pretty underwhelming. I mean, some nice sentiments expressed, and all (which I don't disagree with), and a tasteful backdrop (as opposed to the garish Obamacropolis) -- but I mean, how about a little fire in the belly to blow the wind up some skirts (so to speak)? Or is that scheduled for later?

re: #185 Luigi

Newt's figured it out, on O'Reilly. The attack on Palin is based on desperate fear the left has for her. The Dem's nightmare is having her as President of the Senate.

Love what Newt just said - 22 years ago Barack Obama was using cocaine and marijuana; Todd Palin had a few too many beers one night.

re: #190 Nevergiveup

maybe Sarah makes an appearance tonight

They are saying that she won't until tomorrow.

Is there a name for a concern troll panel on TV. Just flipping through and saw a "history lesson" on the vetting process on Newshour (hey I don't get cable). Everyone agreed how much this reminded them of the McGovern and Bush I picks.

It looked so scripted that I concluded there must be some real fear developing.... don't know how else to take it.

re: #193 Palandine

I have a rubber bullet baton round sttig on my desk at work as a conversation piece.

Hey I got one of those two. Picked it up after is whizzed by my head in the annual spring riots at Ohio University in 1978.

They saying.....

re: #196 Nevergiveup

Ok so my daughters don't laugh at me- who is she?

If I'm not mistaken, she is a Christian artist.

Newt:

How many at NBC are looking into Obama's relationship with a terrorist as opposed to how many are looking into the DUI of Palin's husband 22 years ago?

re: #200 StinkHammer

At this point, I think pretty much everyone's eating dinner or something. This is filler.

re: #176 walksatnight

I was actually serious with that question.

So far I'm bored....everyone is just saying stuff I agree with.

And look it up in Obama's book but 22 years ago wasn't he still doing coke?

Honest to God, when McCain accepts I think that they should blare "I need a Hero". If ony once , do it then.

re: #188 winston06

I think they are covering it the way they covered the Dems in terms of number of hours. It's the convention itself that is different, with most of yesterday's program being cancelled.

Wonder why Charles doesn't go back and make a pro-conservative song etc. he'd make a grip just off the LGF fans, and teh KOS who want to rip it apart.

Stink! You build the show..the experience..the message..
give it a chance over the next couple of days..

re: #200 StinkHammer

The major networks do not start covering the convention until 10 EDT, I'm not sure if the others get time delay or live, but in any case they save the big speeches for when they are on NBC, CBS and ABC. Note Bush goes on at 9:45 so he will be off before non political junkies tune in.

Two decades ago, things were a lot different. DUI's were just being seriously prosecuted and lots of respectable citizens got busted.....

re: #199 opnion

They are cruel.

That too. They also figure that the election is all over :) The Dems seriously do not understand most of America. Just look at the way they expected all of us to throw Sarah Palin under the bus because of her daughter. The latest spin on that is that she is a "bad mother" because she put her pregnant daughter throught this. She should have just passed because of the pregnancy. . . .

re: #212 Big Steve

Yes, but he is quick to point out no smack.

So it's cool.

My man Fred! is coming up later tonight. He's going to finish up by wading into the anarchists and single-handedly incapacitating all of them. They should surrender while the gettin's good.

Just warming up. If you watched day one of the Dems you would have truly been bored.

That is exactly right. I hope that she has some real serious Secret Service because I think may be in more danger than Barack ever thought of being. Luckily she has a fair idea of how to take care of her self.

Look, I want to love Sarah, but I can't get past her remark about the teen daughter. "We're proud."
I just can't figure out what she's proud of?
Concerned, supportive, loving, yes. But proud? Of a 17 year old who's preggers?

Please don't shoot. I really need to have this explained, and I am asking in good faith.

re: #207 loppyd

Newt:

Not to mention, but they weren't even married at the time. Last Friday was their 20th wedding anniversary. So the lefties are going after her for a DUI done by someone who wasn't even her husband.

Yeah, they're scared s*itless over Sarah Palin.

re: #142 HoosierHoops

They are not evn showing this on CNN.. just people blabbering..
I found PBS in High Def..So I'm happy now..

Hey HH. No offense, but I don't know if I want to see Thompson or Lieberman in HD...LOL. I can't wait for their speeches and digital view will suit me fine.

She's proud of her decision to keep the baby and raise it with a mom and dad.

This is all stuff that won't get covered by the press unless someone gets arrested or does something else outrageous. The later stuff gets the attention.

Was that AC/DC?

She is proud of the decision she made to keep the baby vs abort it because of the families pro life views

School Choice - Dem heads are exploding everywhere.

OT (though I'm not exactly sure there is a T), but I hope everyone caught Obama's scintillating argument today that campaigning for the presidency has given him the experience necessary to be president.

If only Eugene McCarthy or Lyndon LaRouche had thought of that!

The party line is that Pallin is the Frankenstein child of Thomas Eagleton and Dan Quayle.

They're proud that she is taking responsibility, that she felt loved and safe enough to tell them, and not just waltz into the corner Planned Parenthood for an abortion.

They're trying to compare Palin to the 3x hospitalzed with electro-shock therapy Eagleton (The Dems initial Veep choice in 72). Absolute desperation by the drive-by media.

Sean talking a bout bias in the MSM about Palin...why doesn't he bring up Colmes?

Have Olberman & Christina Matthews made an appearence yet? Or was Olby unable to make it due to 'security concerns'?
