The Democrat National Convention

[21st Century Man]

I was under the impression that the DNC had record primary voters, and that Bernie had mobilized a zillion new voters. According to this article, HRC got almost a million less votes in 2016 than she did when she lost to Obama in 2008.

That's not a good omen for Clinton.  We  know a bunch of Democrats left the party this year and I don't think they are going back in the near term.  Meanwhile Trump sets a record on the Republican side.  Hillary will be leading in the polls, I think, over the next week but I don't think it will last.  Her campaign is in trouble.

I have to say, it's really a hoot watching Limbaugh and others on the right suddenly celebrate the existence of Wikileaks. Give it enough time and they'll be singing Snowden's praises... possibly erecting a statue in his honor.

[21st Century Man]

I always thought Snowden was doing a service.  If our press won't do the job, somebody needs to pick up the slack.

[MV/Liberace!]

Agreed and agreed.

Agreed and agreed.

Agree with both.
I'm a self-admitted geezer who remembers the Pentagon papers.  The mainstream went nuts, but the Soviets and North Vietnamese knew everything in them.  It was news only to the American people.

I skipped the whole thing as soon as Webster Hubbell's bastard started slinging her hash, and just got home now. I'm going to start with this:

Blah blah blah leftism is great

Damn, that's a big "yes, sir."  What masquerades as the press in the U.S. these days is just a self-serving propaganda ministry for the traitors to the Constitution.

The hippie urban legend to my recollection goes like this: Grace Slick gets a job with the catering for Tricia Nixon's wedding, dips her lsd soaked fingernails into Tricky Dick's drink after which he needs to leave the festivities early. I hope it happened.

==================================
'Allo!
With you yet i am temporaineously...
Seems i remember what happened,Tricia Nixon threw an re-union for her vassar coed class at the official white haus,and Grace happened to be in her class.
Grace and Tom Hayden showed up dressed in Monkey Suit(Tails)and Gown,but SS searched Grace's purse and found some liquid sunshine Owsley-CIA Acid,and wouldn't let the dynamic duo in-to the property.
Probable story in old Rollin'Scone,thanx Citizen Wiener...

DNC defeated the RNC overall in the ratings on convention week. Numbers reflect Nielsen sums of broadcast and cable coverage â€" as well as PBS stations.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/tv-ratings-hillary-clintons-dnc-915706

Day 1 :  DNC   28.4 Million vs  23   Million RNC
Day 2 :  DNC   28    Million  vs  23   Million RNC
Day 3 :  DNC   27    Million  vs  19.8 Million RNC
Day 4 :  DNC   33.7 Million vs   34.9 Million  RNC
TOTAL:  DNC   117.1 Million vs  100.7 Million RNC

Not sure right-wingers were mocking DNC Day 3 number, it still defeated the RNC number on that day by a lot and it's only down from DAY 2 by such a small number, and it's not like Day 2 didn't have a big name talking. Bill is still a pretty strong ratings draw. The ratings aren't that big of a story but Trump reaction to it is so classic Trump and shows how much he's not a leader. Before the conventions  he was all ready to take credit for any success but after the ratings come out The Donald replies with "I didn’t produce our show. I just showed up for final speech". I have no idea how any self-respecting Republican be by his side knowing very well the second he falls he will throw them under the bus.

The CNN instant poll was interesting as well as Clinton defeated Trump in "right direction" and "positive reactoin" I wonder if that will effect the overall polls

People were watching hoping to see a Bernie revolution.

Late night radio currently, is like the 2016 Presidential campaign, I am disappointed in the choices.

I watched hoping to see a fart in and a citizens arrest.

Yeah, the spin is amazing. I didn't watch any of it but find it interesting that the administration, even under Clinton, was telling LEO, especially Federal ones, that finding "copies of the Constitution" in cars, trucks, on people, etc was a "red flag" for domestic terrorism, militias, and threats, etc and then some Muslim, who apparently forces his wife to wear a form of garb, comes up on stage and proclaims the Constitution.  And then, apparently, later says Trump has a "black" soul? Racist much? Well, it is true that often certain Muslims hate blacks and still practice slavery and conquest in Africa. (The term kaffir was taken from them and only appropriated by 'racist' whites in SA, for example. Many Muslims still use the term in common conversation.) There are plenty of good Muslims, but whether their contribution, or as in this case sacrifice or death in battle, outweigh the bad effects? Not clear on that. Likely not. Get them out, or, at least stop the importation of more, especially these radical, unvetted, and not even identifiable ones Obama, Shrillary, and European politicians demand we take into our countries.
