In honor of the GOP Convention, a kind, compassionate tweet from liberal Hollywood actress, Ellen Barkin...

I can't wait for the clown carousel in Charlotte next week. You really wonder what they are going to be yelling from the stage. Is it going to be another Wellstone wake? An occupy rally? What are they going to preach about for 4 days? There are only so many people you can blame for your own miserable existence.

It is going to be fun watching both the convention and the media try to wrap a thunderstorm around Romney's neck. What a wierd time we live in!

Yert49: Seems like the Dems are laying low on touting their crowning achievement "Obamatax." Instead, looks like their convention is going to focus on abortion (distraction) and the fake issue of the "war on women." And the ironic part - Bill Clinton is one of the speakers! Gosh, I just cannot make this stuff up.
Also heard that 30-year old activist pretend college student, Susan "give me free birth control" Flukes is going to be a speaker, too! Wow. This could be one of the better comedy shows of the year.
Bring on "we be gaffes" Biden!!!

Actually a re-tweet, sort of pass it on.

But have a hissy-fit if you must.

Good Read Here: Ronnie would not have been chosen by this bunch of "Republicans:

The week of BIG LIE comes to Tampa:

Too funny, jman99 - I expected some lib to say oh but its a "retweet." SO WHAT.
Ellen Barkin received the original tweet. She thought enough of it - and agreed with it - to pass it on. Meaning, she is in full agreement with the nasty, name-calling, "hope you die" sentiments aimed at the GOP in Tampa.
Spin it anyway you want, jman99. Barkin IS responsible.

In Tampa, our Governor - Scott Walker - received one of the biggest standing O's - and his speech was right on. Our "Cheesehead Revolution" is in full-swing and Wisconsin is a shining star. Our state should be proud! Ann Romney's speech was also very eloquent and poignant.
And funny how the GOP offers up actual results and ideas and solutions.
What will the Dems dreg up at their convention? Obama's past four years? How's that hope and change? What can they say? High unemployment? No jobs? Weaker military? Worse off middle class? Lack of any foreign policy? Bigger government? More federal rules and regulations created to stifle businesses? Making America mediocre? Obamatax which will cost us all - paying more for less service? WOW!!!
Even though he had sexcapades with a young intern in the Oral Office as well as rape charges and other affairs, better dust off Bill Clinton to speak about the "war on women." Yeah, that's the ticket!
Too funny!

Elsewhere, getting wasted in Republicanville......

Well if it's good enough to send your money to, you might as well fly their flag too..

"In Tampa, our Governor - Scott Walker - received one of the biggest standing O's"

What; You're saying he a Democrat now?

You do not understand rules of ships at sea do you jman ? lol... Just ask jman
ignorance is bliss !!

What "Rule of the Sea" Causes a Republican running for President of the United States to hold court with his wealthiest donors on a Yacht registered in the Cayman Islands?

Must be because they don't want to employ US sailors and crew and would rather fly a flag of convenience in order to hire lower cost foreign labor and avoid US maritime safety rules.

Typical Mepublicans.

jman - really? Maddow and Reich? followed by cheap shots at Romney's success.?

Get out of the gutter of Obama's campaign and watch the Convention. Positive, upbeat, "can do" attitudes abound. Didn't hear Christie or Romney even bring up BO's name. Just talked up the capability of the American worker to be successful given a leader that empowers the people instead of divides the country by class.

We are getting to the time in the campaign where Obama runs out of bullets and he is about to throw his gun and run. Don't be the last one standing up for his record, come over to the side of opportunity behind a bi-partisan leader like Romney.

Mucho, nice try with Jmann. She is hopeless. I think she thinks if she bombards this site she may start believing in Obomba.

Did you see that nitwit from Yahoo. He got what he deserved for the ignorant racist fool that he is. It's about time that these fools get fired.

jman , Just because we all are not able to afford the taxes in the USA as well as the
o and his friends can . Does not mean they are not patriotic . But it does show why
we must vote The Republicans in for they will fix that and reduce those jogb killing
taxes that the elite Dumocrats force US Americans to pay !!! GGGGGOOOOOOO
Romney !!!! lol...

Palin Persona no Grata for GOP?
http://www.politicususa.com/fox-news-dumps-sarah-palin-cancels-interviews.html

And no GWB either? I thought they were all proud of him for what he accomplished for the the party.

The way I read it, if one DID take out the anti-education, Xenophobic, anti women, gay bashing, and racist pantloads out of the GOP, you'd have a great party that'd be a beacon for the whole darned planet.

Of course, you'd get quite a bit of pushback from the anti-education, Xenophobic, anti women, gay bashing, and racist elements.

lol... If you PDLS's were smart enough to pay attention . The Rerpublican Party has
many women in its ranks ! Many minorities ! and do not gay bash at all !! Please
show me any gay bashing ? Did any of you pay attention to one of the R mayors her
name is mia ! She is awesome !! She happens to be female and of another skin color
! Yet even above a slow one is sad about Palin being dropped . Yet she has been a
Republican icon for years !! Is it not the Dumocrat Party that bashes Palin the female
? Is it not the Dumocrats that bash C Rice (a female of color) ? You racist Dumocrats
are all the same deflect your hatred of women and minorities on to other groups .
Just to justify your racist ,bigoted thoughts !!! lol...

Ther're abondonza opportunities for the RNC to clean house:
http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/08/susana_martinez_custer.php?ref=fpnewsfeed.

The chairman of a subcommittee that oversees issues related to climate change, Representative John Shimkus of Illinois is — you guessed it — a climate-change denier. OK, fine; but what does he base his beliefs on?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7h08RDYA5E.
This guy is Chairman! of the panel.

So I should care what this no name actress thinks?

Very telling how biased the news media is. For example, MSNBC/NCB refused to air the speeches of minorities from the OP Convention. From the Daily Caller:

"In lieu of airing speeches from former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis, a black American; Mia Love, a black candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Utah; and Texas senatorial hopeful Ted Cruz, a Latino American, MSNBC opted to show commentary anchored by Rachel Maddow from Rev. Al Sharpton, Ed Schultz, Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes and Steve Schmidt.
Throughout this convention, Matthews has accused the Republicans of playing dog-whistle racist politics while on scene in Tampa. It isn’t clear, however, if Matthews will hurl accusations of racism at Davis, Love or Cruz for speeches his network failed to broadcast."

And reading the local Urinal/Sentinel coverage of the GOP event, it is so obvious that it is very painful for Urinal "reporters" to provide any positive notes in their "reporting" of the event. Whatever. No wonder MSNBC/NBC and the local paper continue to lose followers...
