I'm sure Obama's speech had its share of protesters, they just never had a chance to capture any attention in such an open and large environment.

Well glad to see you have no problem with the monkey child to spew venmon and 5th grade level posts on your party's behalf here. For the life of me I don't know how half of you can take it.

I hope McCain gets to some new stuff quick.
He's a reformer, a maverick, voted for the surge, okay.
What about the future? Let's hear more on what you want to accomplish as President.
He seems stuck on what he has done. Not what he will do.

one of the most hilarious things to witness every 4 years is naive liberals underestimating the rest of the country as being exactly like them...it truly is lolarious

9/4/2008 10:34:12 PM

fuck yeah man. USSR!

9/4/2008 10:34:25 PM

he is terrible at giving speeches, like he is reading it for the first time.....

McCain knows nothing about the economy, he is a war hawk....that is all...

9/4/2008 10:35:09 PM

we won't go back, we will go forward. not down, but up

9/4/2008 10:35:54 PM

is war hawk a new nickname for prisoner of war, or are you just saying that McCain and Bush are the same person (obama = jeremiah wright)

9/4/2008 10:35:55 PM

This audience is not very smart. Every time he calls out a location, he follows it with a heartbreaking story, yet they still cheer.

^so you agree obama = jeremiah wright

9/4/2008 10:37:04 PM

Just because he was POW means he should be President? Sucks he was POW, but is that why he should be President? I mean, it was like I was watching the History Channel.....

9/4/2008 10:37:33 PM

yes, I totally agree. because your religion and preacher is the same thing as the party you support that makes the decisions that rule the counrty

The only speech of either convention that has excited me at all was Bill Clinton's.

9/4/2008 10:38:30 PM

omg, he needs a better speech writer, or better speech training.

the rhythm is killing me

9/4/2008 10:39:01 PM

platitudes platitudes platatitudes

was Obama's speech like this? I skipped it last week (worked a 16 hour day on Thursday y'all).

9/4/2008 10:39:13 PM

Bill Clinton's speech was the best fake speech of the last 2 weeks

so i cant act like a complete retard and say obama = wright, but other people can act like complete retards and say mccain = bush

thats what i thought i was just making sure thats how the double standard worked

9/4/2008 10:39:44 PM

dude, could he dumb this down any more?

9/4/2008 10:39:49 PM

He said he would cut spending. I heard it.

It would be amazing if someone would actually go through with this.

9/4/2008 10:40:11 PM

your pointless hatred is probably not healthy for you

9/4/2008 10:40:23 PM

The problem is is that he's gonna have to start addressing the problems with the economy and how he can help the middle class. That's fucking key. Specifics McCain or else. Obama was very detailed about that in his last speech, to his credit. Instead McCain has yet to even talk about it and that's a big no no right now.

You can show all the videos and talk about service and country first all you want but that's not deciding this election. i did fwiw think the video leading him in was really good though, superbly put together.

9/4/2008 10:40:56 PM

he also said "i will cut taxes....where I can"

i dont think people were ready for that "where i can"

this certainly isn't groundbreaking, but I read Obama's transcript.... it wasn't exactly mind blowingly complicated

9/4/2008 10:41:46 PM

yes, he should be telling us more how he will take more of my money and give it to people that don't work...

9/4/2008 10:41:51 PM

specifics will come out in the 3 debates, for both candidates

all obama really said specifically was he would give credits to familes and businesses

and by give, he means put our tax money towards

haha, dude, you are so fucking dumb. seriously, you are retarded. Because comparing McCain to the guy he works for, who's policies he supported, is the same as Obama's PREACHER, who has nothing to do with the country, right?

yeah, you're not at all an idiot.

you guys - say what you want about Obama's "greek columns" (again, that were covered up so much that it looked more like a sushi bar than the Parthenon), but these this huge powerpoint show they keep showing behind the stage is gaudy and cheesy.....


and of course I'll get slammed as unpatriotic for saying this, but I find it the height of arrogance and childishness when crowds of adults start chanting "U.S.A, U.S.A" like they were at a hockey game. This occurred several times at the DNC too, and I found it off-putting then also.

so let me get this straight

comparing McCain to Bush, and not just comparing, essentially saying they're the same person, is ok

but comparing Wright to Obama, Wright who was Obama's spiritual advisor for 20 years, isn't ok because Wright isn't a politician? who cares if some fucking batshit crazy psychopath preacher has been putting conspiracy bugs in your ear for 20 years, he's not the president, therefore the argument is null and void

wow you liberals are so fucking stupid with how you try to justify your double standards

9/4/2008 10:44:45 PM

you think I believe what they promise? I just want a change and to get out of this rut that our fucking country is in

9/4/2008 10:44:49 PM

i like everything mccain says

i LOVE john mccain. i hate the party norm though, and that's who he'll have to deal with

mccain i'm sold on. i'm not sold in palin, not one bit. fuckin religious nut.

you know, i'd be a republican if they'd fucking get rid of the religious bullshit and stop shoving morals down people's throats.

i'd be a democrat if they stopped trying to have the government solve every little problem.

John McCain - Ron Paul <<<< That is the ticket we need

it's funny about religion... if you read up on what the democrats have done, they put a huge push to pander to the religious right for this election..

Cherokee, aye. I hope we never have to deal with a Palin presidency.

Good points on energy policy. This a big plus he has over Obama. He needs to emphasize it more.
