I came to CC in 2005 and Bush was the President. He was getting bashed on by a lot in here and that's all fine and good.

What was interesting was when Obama took office and that Hate Bush crowd split into two camps. The ones that were simply anti-Bush and the ones that were anti-American. It was interesting seeing the anti-American crowd get frustrated when the anti-American bashing subsided. They just didn't want it to end know what I mean?

I have bashed you... but you are right.

I should have said something along the lines that "American bashing had subsided". After Obama took office you lost a few of your crew if I remember.

It was not so much fun in here for you guys if I can remember correctly.

Was Jennifer Granholm Drunk?

Or just Canadian?


I love it when wealthy liberal Canadian born politicians give speeches criticizing other wealthy people when they are loaded, don’t you?

They’re just so cute.

Democrat National Convention News

Do 45%+ of Americans consider this Vancouver born woman to be inspirational and representative of those "leaders" who will rescue them financially?


Related: A superb summary of the DNC Convention by Peggy Noonan:
What a fabulously confident and ingenuous-seeming political narcissist Ms. Fluke is. She really does think—and her party apparently thinks—that in a spending crisis with trillions in debt and many in need, in a nation in existential doubt as to its standing and purpose, in a time when parents struggle to buy the good sneakers for the kids so they're not embarrassed at school . . . that in that nation the great issue of the day, and the appropriate focus of our concern, is making other people pay for her birth-control pills. That's not a stand, it's a non sequitur. She is not, as Rush Limbaugh oafishly, bullyingly said, a ****. She is a ninny, a narcissist and a fool. And she was one of the great faces of the party in Charlotte. That is extreme. Childish, too.​

Duke Energy and green payola...
"Duke Energy did not pay $10 million of the [DNC convention] shortfall. You and I did. In 2011 alone, Jim Rogers and Duke Energy received at least $224 million in Federal taxpayer subsidies for ‘green energy projects.’ ‘Green energy’ meaning that the money is gone into Democrat donor pockets. This is just payoff to the Democrats. The $10 million loan is not to start being repaid until 2013. If Obama wins, the Federal government will cover it with another subsidy. If he loses, it will be forgiven.”

small dead animals: Is There Nothing That Obama Can't Do?


 CAMPAIGNING AS HE’S GOVERNED: Democrats Said to End Convention $15 Million Short. “Democrats ended their convention in Charlotte $5 million short of their budget even after being forced to draw down a $10 million line of credit from Duke Energy Corp. (DUK), according to a Democratic Party fundraiser. That will leave a $15 million bill that eventually will have to be paid by President Barack Obama’s campaign or the Democratic National Committee, according to the fundraiser, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.”

UPDATE: Reader Marc Johnson writes: “I wonder how in the Obama administration is in with the green energy companies? The DNC got their loan to cover the convention from Duke Energy. They are a major player in wind and solar. How shocking! I’m sure the ‘investments’ we have made in wind and solar have benefited Duke Energy. Cronyism?”

ANOTHER UPDATE: Reader Roland Mar writes: “Slight correction to the story. Duke Energy did not pay $10 million of the shortfall. You and I did. In 2011 alone, Jim Rogers and Duke Energy received at least $224 million in Federal taxpayer subsidies for ‘green energy projects.’ ‘Green energy’ meaning that the money is gone into Democrat donor pockets. This is just payoff to the Democrats. The $10 million loan is not to start being repaid until 2013. If Obama wins, the Federal government will cover it with another subsidy. If he loses, it will be forgiven.” Here’s more on Duke Energy and green payola.

Yeah, lol. Special interest groups cost all of us terribly, mostly because they're not in the interests of us all.

Were you thinking I meant something else or just hoping? ;)

What's this I hear now that Romney supports some of Obamacare? Does he support anything in the Republican platform? He has more in common with Obama than he does with Ryan.

Democrats Omitted More Than Just ‘God’ and ‘Jerusalem’: See What Else Was Left Out of the Party Platform (And Not Reinstated)





The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) and GOP supporters are slamming the Democratic Party for omitting strong language against Hamas and the Palestinian “right of return” from its 2012 platform, language that was part of the 2008 Democratic platform. This is yet another significant omission — and it was not later fixed — contrary to the party’s reinstating language referring to Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, which TheBlaze reported on last week.
In 2008, the Democratic platform included the statement that Hamas – the group that rules Gaza and which the State Department defines as a terrorist group – must renounce terrorism. The platform then stated:
The United States and its Quartet partners should continue to isolate Hamas until it renounces terrorism, recognizes Israel’s right to exist, and abides by past agreements.
​
That language is now gone. In fact, the word “Hamas” doesn’t appear at all in the 2012 platform.
Also in 2008, the Democratic platform stated:
The creation of a Palestinian state through final status negotiations, together with an international compensation mechanism, should resolve the issue of Palestinian refugees by allowing them to settle there, rather than in Israel.
