Well, I don't think we should be drilling, so there's our difference right there.

And the hateful part was unrelated to that. From what I've seen, this convention has been 90% negative. The Democrats were pretty damn positive and optimistic, and you can't deny that. Yeah, it helped energize the base, but I don't think the sarcasm and bitterness is really "putting America first"
I find it kind of hilarious that you expect Democrats not to call W. an idiot. He is one of the worst presidents of all time, after all. He deserves criticism and 71% people in the country agree, Didn't George W. Bush have many years of executive experience? How did that turn out? Experience criticism should be thrown out the window after Bush's 8 years, seriously, and we're getting more of that with McSame. Also, I haven't seen many actual Democratic politicians say these things. This was Guiliani and he actually claimed that Democrats "wanted more terrorists." (psst 9/11!) I think I missed these parts, but I heard there were references to Iraq and Bin Laden? Umm, what? I'm sorry, that's just asinine, and I've never been prouder to be a Democrat tonight.
The typical republican fear-mongering came out strong tonight too. Nothing to be surprised about. I think there was moment where she called out for Obama "wanting to read prisoner's their rights" and people started cheering because she opposed this. Well, I've learned that Republicans want to piss on the constitution. The great thing about America is that EVERYONE should get those basic rights when on our soil. "HELL NO TO THAT FOR THEM TERRRISTS! AMERICA FARK YEAH!"
I also love the lines that Obama is going to increase taxes. Yeah, maybe for the rich white assholes in the crowd out there. Here is the real figure that helps MOST people.
Anyway, I'm a bit fired up in a bad way about what I watched tonight. Time to donate to the Obama campaign tonight. I still think he'll win with in the realm of 310 electoral votes.
