And tried to claim Obama's message of change... yes, yes, it is not like there has been a Republican administration for 8 years, so let's all vote Republican to get some "change"... err... wait a minute... did we think this through? No? Oh, well, that has never stopped us before! Let's attack and lie and I'm sure it will work just like it always has...csmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14196500927690180464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384511685152656450.post-76303301660185331272008-09-06T17:29:00.000-05:002008-09-06T17:29:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.csmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14196500927690180464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384511685152656450.post-52209008604666540762008-09-06T17:05:00.000-05:002008-09-06T17:05:00.000-05:00Just don't ask me to call myself "Geo-Con."Maybe t...Just don't ask me to call myself "Geo-Con."<BR/><BR/>Maybe the coverage of the conventions is getting mixed together in my mind with the speeches. My memory isn't as sharp as it once was.<BR/><BR/>I didn't give any attention to the secondary speakers at either convention. I rarely care what politicians have to say with their prepackaged platitudes. <BR/><BR/>I think Palin did what she needed to do... she bit back after the barrage of "vitriol" she endured for almost a week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384511685152656450.post-81618014211630444052008-09-06T15:36:00.000-05:002008-09-06T15:36:00.000-05:00g. i'm thinking you should change your blogging na...g. i'm thinking you should change your blogging name to "g the conservative". it has a nice ring to it. :)<BR/><BR/>with regards to democrats "attacking" republicans, i'm not sure we watched the same democratic convention. i saw attacks on policy, yes. but personal attacks? not so much. and definitely not like palin, thompson or giuliani's speeches. i'm thinking vitriol when i recall those 3 speeches.<BR/><BR/>and before you say it's just me, let me just say that my mother and her parents, all life-long republicans before 2008, made the same points in conversations this week.<BR/><BR/>regarding giuliani specifically, i am inclined to believe they gave him a slot because he had played the part of the "good" surrogate ever since he dropped out of the primaries.<BR/><BR/>now that i type that out, i suddenly wonder why thompson got a slot. must be his performance skills, 'cause it sure wasn't the weight of all those voters that supported him.<BR/><BR/>and since i've got the soapbox at the moment, let me ask: was i the only one offended by the rnc's 9/11 video?coreydbarbarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14917757267223836237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384511685152656450.post-20282800639519377272008-09-06T14:06:00.000-05:002008-09-06T14:06:00.000-05:00I'm not a Republican.

I imagine it didn't.<BR/><BR/>As for Giuliani, I don't really understand why he was given the podium. It seems that Republicans are a lot less fond of him than people think.

I watched the Republican convention and it turned my stomach as I watched them belittle community service and attack their opponents instead of promote their ideas (what ideas?)
