Who else?
Goddamn it I just learned that Hilary will speak after 10pm. Don't they know that most hard-working people CAN NOT stay up that late? I stayed up til 11pm for Michelle's speech last night and overslept such that I had no time for a fucking shower or breakfast this morning, plus I had to pay for a cab to get to work on time. I can't do that again, so I guess I will have to miss ALL the big speeches at the rest of the fucking Democratic convention. I am steamed. I need to go to sleep at 9; I can stay up til 10 if it's something special; 11pm is out of the question unless it's worth getting into major trouble at work.
Am I the only one who is pissed as hell at how they are doing everything significant so bloody LATE at night???

replay it for the West.
splice it. anything but pundits.
this convention is in SERIOUS trouble.
it is not playing well at all.
i just hope hillary is comfortable with her loss.
i just hope her supporters will be OK.
economy. foreign policy. leadership.
anyone?
Though I did not catch Michelle live. Too late.
The first two hours were dead, lost air.
the economy. foreign policy. leadership.
where's the message? where's the vision?
where's the fight?
i hope tonight turns out to be different. or maybe tomorrow night, maybe after bill. that leaves thursday. here's hoping for a big close.
oh, and fight, message and vision are not the same as attacks.
attacks, direct and ruthless, you'll see next week.
I was surprised to see a local event on the campaign website billed as a "prayer meeting", using a lot of the fundy vocab to describe it. Having been raised as a Catholic during the most authoritarian phase of that church, I am extremely grateful that we have separation of church and state. So I flagged the meeting as having objectionable content. A week later, same group, another prayer meeting. So I flagged it again. When I realized that these folks weren.t going away I called the campaign, and apparently the web site is a "grass roots" thing and anyone who wants to can support Barack in any way, per the nice young campaign worker I spoke with. If that is so, why do they have the "report objectionable content" flag? To me, repressive religion is more obscene than any four letter word.
Any involvement of a church in a political campaign violates separation of church and state. They can pray for whatever they want, but it should not intrude into the campaign. I hope that the campaign will really take a look at this
(Cue Bill O'Reilly screaming about class warfare.)
Actually I guess John Edwards mentioned the poor. So he was our token commie.
Fuck Rick Warren, Fuck Saddleback church and Fuck trying to kiss the ass of people who wouldn't vote for a Democrat if Jesus himself came down and commanded it.
Even if we could bring them over to vote for Obama there would be no way to keep them without totally screwing over two of the most loyal constituencies of the party; women and GLBT people.
it is not playing well...what about the television link?
what is with MSNBC? where in the hell did they find that woman? a plant? She had to think about voting for McGrampa?
UGH!! (lucy back)
How many interviews? and IT is TOO LATE!!
Hey 50% of the population lives east of the MISSIPSSIPPI!!
Get back to what is happenning now - C SPAN
As a gay married couple, my husband is not voting for him and I'm 'this close' to voting a straight Green ticket.
