researchok Tue, Sep 4, 2012 6:59:24pm |
You know what bothers me most of all?
The idea that somehow, this president and his administration are somehow illegitimate.
I don't care how upset people get at the president's record on the economy, job creation or foreign policy- that criticism comes with the territory.
There have been great presidents, lousy presidents and average presidents, all determined by the eye of the beholder and history
Nevertheless, to declare a president illegitimate, less than worthy or less patriotic or ineligible to hold the office is an outrage.
I can agree or disagree with a whole host of Obama policies (and I do) but I will never say, imply, hint at or even remotely suggest this president is illegitimate. He is not and he is not what that suggestion or declaration of illegitimacy implies. While this is not much different than the morons who still clam Bush stole the election from Gore, in reality this is worse.
Oh sure, lots of GOP types pretend to be civil but they are play acting- they have to respond to the lunatics in their districts. They have to respond to the anti science lunatics in the hope they will get that $50 donation and pray that the likes of that lunatic bottom feeder Ralph Reed will focus his attention elsewhere.
The whole thing sickens me.
Rant over.

Yay! I've found a Canadian channel that's carrying the CSPAN feed of the DNC :D
Love the "Forward"/"Not Back" signage in the crowd. Great visual - bold, bright, easy to read even on a crappy screen, and really, really does sum up this election's choices in three words.

The glaring difference is sincerity. The DNC so far has been people speaking from their hearts. The RNC was almost entirely thinly veiled bullshit, their entire convention was based on a deliberate lie about Obama's "you didn't build that," line. Watching the DNC it's clear that the speakers believe what they're saying, speaking truth instead of constructing a false narrative. The Republicans were speaking lies to a crowd happy to swallow and regurgitate those lies.
There's also a glaring difference in optics. The RNC was anemic, overwhelmingly white, old and angry. The DNC is has a huge, fired up, diverse crowd that's happy for their candidate and party, not merely motivated by hate.
