As I said in the other convention thread, I hope he does the prayer word-for-word, with the exception of the candidates. There was nothing partisan about his prayer…it matches up with Catholic and American ideals.
The second HIs Eminence mentions the sanctity of life from conception to natural death and the sanctity of marriage, he will be booed off stage. Biden will be back there with a gaff hook to rake him in, like the old “Gong Show”.

I agree, there is nothing offensive in the Cardinal’s prayer to anyone with an open mind. Hopefully, my party will reign in its radical elements.

That’s odd, I don’t recall a counter convention in Tampa.

The DNC points out they had a robust counter-convention of their own. In no particular order, according to a DNC official, getting the Democratic message out at the Republican convention they had a plane, a satellite truck, an office steps from the perimeter, full campaign support, 40 staffers, four press conferences, the Democratic National Committee chair, the Democratic Governor’s Association Chair, a senator, a governor, house members, and bus tours in three states

Of course there was. Its called MSNBC, CNN, NBC News, ABC News, CBS News
BAHAHAHA…oh don’t forget Debbie Wasserman Schulz, with her Bride of Frankenstein Hair, the Code Pink and their “V” suits, and Sandra Fluke as the Democrat standard bearer. Yes there was a counter convention all right!

Demonstrations are quite different from an attempt to organize a counter-convention. Every convention on both sides has loads of protesters.

Regarding that vast left-wing conspiracy…don’t worry…Fox will be there too. They are the number one news network after all.

Somehow I don’t think there will be Tea Party ladies prancing around as dancing vaginas.

Wasn’t that the height of vulgarity? Why does the Democrat party reduce a woman to her reproductive system? The focus isn’t on lifting women up through opportunities for education, career advancement, starting or operating a business but on free birth control and abortion rights. All you have to do is look at the DNC lineup to see where their minds are: Planned Parenthood, NARAL, Sandra Fluke.

Where is their answer to Condi Rice, Suzanna Martinez, Kelly Ayotte, Nikki Haley, Ann Romney? Here are women of accomplishment, some on the national or world stage. They emphasized the freedom and opportunity in this country and the responsibility they all felt to give back in some way.

What happened to the Democrat idea of asking not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country?

They flipped them. Their motto is “Do not think about what you can do for your country, demand what your country can give to you. Vote for us, and we’ll take it away from someone else to make sure you get it.”

CMatt25:
I know former President Clinton is speaking at the DNC this coming wk. Even though I didn’t always agree with him I am looking forward to hearing him.
Obama needs Clinton to speak at the DNC convention. People were working during the Clinton administration. The nostalgia will take their minds off their joblessness.

The differences are glaringly obvious,the Republicans empower,the Dems exploit.

Scott TOO funny! Love the reality of that statement… You know there is never the appeal to our better angels, just the old “ISleepless in Seattle” theme “I want what HE’s having…”

I was raised Democrat by two slightly to the left of Mao Democrats and always saw the party as being inspiring our best efforts…Peace Corps, put a man on the moon, let’s be the best we can be! Now it’s sit back, relax and let Uncle Sugar take care of you…:eek:

There is concern (and I don’t mean among the unattached females) that when The Big Dog comes to town, it will remind them of the good old days and wonder why they didn’t elect Hillary instead.

Well, and I feel relatively certain that you will accuse me of not addressing your point.
However, I was raised by two people who grew up in the Great Depression, one was a World War II vet, the other worked in a factory during the same era.

My Father always voted a split ticket, except for President, and he would have if the Republicans, at that time, had ever offered something he could vote for. Help the common man. Well. he just didn’t Like Ike…plus Adlai Stevenson had brass.

I have the same requirement. BTW, I worked for Congressman Bill Clinger during the Reagan Administration, was in his office in the Longworth House Office Building when Pope John Paul II was shot, etc. etc.

I have only come back on this forum to challenge people to give facts, very different from truth. Truth is spiritual…facts are secular.

Well not sure what you were addressing other than giving a bit of bio which is quite similar to my own. My parents were ‘depression babies’ born in 25 and 29 respectively. My father was a WWII vet. Both raised by staunch Republicans. The name Franklin Roosevelt was not allowed to be spoken in my mother’s home.

They went to college and became very liberal Democrats. Go figure. I was raised to be a liberal Democrat and remember vividly watching the 68 and 72 Conventions. I spent a sumemr in high school watching Watergate hearings and being even more entrenched into Democrat politics. I thought all Republicans were evil warmongers and in fact voted for Jimmy Carter I’m embarrassed to say. Then I graduated from college and went into the real world where my parents Ivory Tower leftism imploded upon contact with reality.

Now I’m a conservative Republican. You know the saying if you aren’t a liberal before you’re 20 something you don’t have a heart and if you aren’t a conservative after 30 you don’t have a brain.

Getting back to the thread, I will be curious what the Democrats will offer at the Convention particularly with the Three Witches of Endor highlighting the line up. I just don’t see the appeal of using the FUD Technique: Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt.

Do they have anything positive to offer? We shall see. I will count on you John to actually watch it. I will TRY but when they start claming all Republicans want children to starve and old people to be tossed over a cliff I begin screaming at the TV and throwing things.

It scares the cat…
