Every time they showed Bill Clinton sitting in the audience, he appeared pompous. I find him so disgusting. I am not celebrating these people. Biden, Bloomberg, Obamas, Clintons are not heroes to me.

I agree with this however, add the names of Pelosi and a “new hero” a “devout” Catholic (in name only is my reply)Tim Kaine.

Question: Why are the Democrats ready to have a cow because of what Trump said regarding HRC e-mail. If they had nothing to do with classified material and were nothing but Yoga and Chelsea’s wedding, then that would NOT be anything but a bit of 😊.

Besides Trump was talking about e-mails that were deleted from a server that no longer exists. So how can the Russians hack a server that does no exist?

Apparently, HRC and the Demorats are worried that there may be things that will really incriminate Hillary.
 
Correction - Democrats not Demorats - Pardon the faux pas. But hey, I think it fits.
 
I’ll say it again, this is a Catholic Forum, most menbers are Catholic, and yet they support a person and a party that supports abortion.

The logic here is beyond being foolish!
 
IMO it was extremely telling Democrats chose to showcase illegal aliens and the mothers of would-be cop killers.

It’s clear their priorities are not with the law abiding American populace, which is not shocking given the Democrat party is an organized crime ring masquerading as a political party (if their relationship with Planned Parenthood isn’t textbook racketeering I don’t know what is).

Which I am okay with, but why are the questions asked of Ivanka and Tiffany legitimate but the same questions posed to Chelsea Clinton are said to be “out of line” and “off limits?”

Per the rule they’ve got the benefit of being children of a president. As of yet Trump’s offspring don’t have that benefit.
Maximilan_Kolbe said:
That’s the point. Today, Chelsea is afforded a courtesy that is not extended to Trump’s children.

Yes, they don’t have President’s kid status. Now if Chelsea were to take a position in a political office she might find that the privilege of the rule no longer extends.
 
How can you people ignore what Marcus Luttrell has to say!

After all he was there, in the battles!

IT seems that people are motivated by more than one issue. In another thread I had wondered if abortion was even a top-5 issue for voters as I speculated they are motivated by many other issues. The response I got back follows.

You’d be correct. It’s also not in the top 5 for Republicans as well. In fact among the “important issues” it’s one of the least important for both parties.

the whole evening was like a Hollywood production of how wonderful we all are and patting each other on the back. packed full of emotion.
everything sounded good, but was just a load of horse apples if you know what I mean. I was not impressed with Tim Kaine at all. Too bad he hooked up with Hillary. he looks like a good fall guy.
anyhow, these people are a joke.

Democrats Seize the Optimism Trump Surrendered
July 28, 2016By Taegan Goddard75 Comments
First Read: “As soon as President Obama finished his speech here Wednesday night, it was immediately clear that Donald Trump and Republicans made a fundamental mistake by abandoning a hopeful, optimistic message in Cleveland. And Obama and the Democrats seized that message.”
Noted former George W. Bush spokesman Tony Fratto: “Watching Democrats talk about America the way Republican candidates used to talk about America.”
“Oof. Over the last seven and a half years, Republicans have criticized Obama for not believing in American exceptionalism. But last night, Obama and the Democrats owned the optimistic message about the country.”

The more I read Scott Adams the more I come around to his proposition that people are not motivated by reason but by emotion and how they can twist reality, whatever that is, to fit their image of the movie running in their head.

So I am starting to believe they emote and then find the justification they need to justify what they do.

Enjoy your vote, it is meaningless really.

Summer 2002: Bush Advisor: We Say What Reality IsEdit event
Reporter and author Ron Suskind meets with a unnamed senior adviser to Bush, who complains to Suskind about an article he recently wrote in Esquire magazine about Bush’s communications director, Karen Hughes. In spite of his displeasure, the senior advisor says, boastfully: Guys like you are “in what we call the reality-based community”—people who “believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality. That’s not the way the world really works anymore. We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors… and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.” [NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE, 10/17/2004]

Oh come on now jcwit! Don’t be so hard on them!! Many Catholics are vehemently opposed to abortion (they would never be involved in one) as I’m sure the majority of Catholics here are. However, why should Catholics deny women the right to choose for themselves. Which means they cannot stand in the way of a woman butchering, murdering, maiming to death a poor innocent child. Or maybe they think it’s not a child but just a glob of cells,:eek: as many have been led to believe.

Oh, wait your right - it is foolish!!

Reminds me of the old Hogan’s Hero’s character Sgt. Schultz. “I see nothing… I know nothing…”

Many will claim ignorance when meeting the Lord, but I’m sure He will tolerate ignorance only to a point.

Imagine, if all Catholic voters would vote against the party that promotes gay marriages, abortion on demand (and now wants to abolish the Hyde Amendment which the “devout” Catholic Kaine agrees to do), embryonic stem cell research, etc. etc., this election would have been over by now.

I agree with you entirely.That we as a nation have now devolved to this level.That the Clintons’ are being held up and lauded as an awesome example of leadership,etc.all the while overlooking the corrupt nature of their politics and lives as a whole is stunning and frightening.Really the fix is in,I believe.Voting is just an exercise n futility,sorry to say.All those who gloat and gleefully praise and support the evil that pervades our nation will rue the day.Unfortunately they will take the rest of us down with them I weep for our nation and what it has become.:(😦

This proves my assertion that for Dems perception is reality.They decided to paint a glowing picture of America while at the same time undermining everything this country stands for.That anyone would by their fantasy is more yelling of those who support the Dems than the actual politicians themselves:eek:

the whole democrat convention has been about emotion. unfortunately, they are out of touch with the reality of the last 8 years. Have Michelle and Obama held press conferences or talked about how great America is until this week? I have heard Obama apologizing for America. We have had weak leadership for 8 years so for Obama and Michelle to suddenly come out about patriotism is a little hypocritical. They realize what is at stake if Hillary loses. They are desperate that the Obama legacy move forward and not be forgotten.
 
the democrats are playing the Americans like a violin.
