So if the RNC was based on "you didn't build that":

"Look, if you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own," he said. "You didn't get there on your own. I'm always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something -- there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.
"If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges.
"If you've got a business -- you didn't build that," he continued. "Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the internet. The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don't do on our own."

Will the DNC be based on "I like to fire people"?

"I want people to be able to own insurance if they wish to, and to buy it for themselves and perhaps keep it for the rest of their life, and to choose among different policies offered from companies across the nation. I want individuals to have their own insurance. That means the insurance company will have an incentive to keep you healthy.
"It also means if you don't like what they do, you can fire them. I like being able to fire people who provide services to me. If someone doesn't give me the good service I need, I'm going to go get somebody else to provide that service to me."

I like that post. It shows the real common sense approach that each candidate spoke. To show the insanity of political machines and how they pervert our system, you should now show the opposing party's spin of these remarks.

Anyone who doesn't understand what is happening after reading their remarks and comparing them to how they were bastardized, should not be voting this year.

27 of us would be deciding the election.

I just looked at the scheduled speakers.

I'm pretty sure I'm skipping this one too.

[carltonplace]

Clint's speaking at this one too?

[carltonplace]

Ooh! John Kerry. Guess I won't need a Doxylamine that night.

So be it. However, you haven't discounted for lack of photo ID's. Whoever is left, rules. No pun intended.

I saw on the Kudlow Report tonight that Mary Fallin is going to be a part of a group of 50 GOP people going to Charolette to disrupt the DNC. Any truth to that?

Just read there is apparently a race to the New Orleans area following Isaac between Mitt and Barry in order to see you seems to care the most. Dumb.

Gov. Mary Fallin will take GOP message to Democratic convention city

TAMPA, Fla. - Gov. Mary Fallin, who has spent the week on stage and off promoting the Republican presidential ticket, plans to crash the Democrats' party in North Carolina next week.

Fallin has agreed to go to Charlotte, at the expense of Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, to make counterpoints to messages coming out of the Democratic National Convention.

Democratic elected officials have been doing the same thing here. Vice President Joe Biden had planned to come here but canceled the trip because of the tropical storm that turned into Hurricane Isaac.

Fallin said: "President Obama and his party are going to be in Charlotte next week touting what they believe are their successes. It's important for our elected officials and party spokesmen to remind the American people of the truth about their time in office, which has brought 42 straight months of unemployment over 8 percent and 23 million Americans unemployed or underemployed."

After the shellacking that Bush II got after Katrina, PR rules.  It doesn't matter that there wasn't anything that could have prevented the disaster of Katrina or that local authorities didn't even follow their own procedures.

Only counts if it's Obama.  Gweed's sad is showing.
