And if you didn't hear Obama talk about issues, you weren't listening. My father, a life time card carrying Republican, is voting Democrat this election and thinks the RNC and the smearing is a joke. Not to mention the soap opera that Palin has brought to the election. McCain chose her as a distraction from the real issues.|||with the media backing obama and not giving mccain a chance i think people should know how unpatriotic obama and his family is. Speaking in Milwaukee, Wis., on Monday, Obama's wife said, “People in this country are ready for change and hungry for a different kind of politics and … for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.”
Sen. Barack Obama's pastor says blacks should not sing "God Bless America" but "God damn America."
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright has made a number of controversial statements.
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor for the last 20 years at the Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago's south side, has a long history of what even Obama's campaign aides concede is "inflammatory rhetoric," including the assertion that the United States brought on the 9/11 attacks with its own "terrorism."
Think before you vote!At what point in the GOP convention will they quit attacking Obama and start talking about the issues?I have been watching the RNC for two days.
Apparently you are not watching the same convention I have been watching!
Republicans are not in favor of raising taxes for everyone in the country.
Republicans are not in favor of murdering unborn babies.
Republicans are not in favor of calling homosexual unions marriages. marriage is reserved for one man and one woman.
Republicans are not in favor on continued dependence on foreign oil.
Republicans are not in favor of racial supremacist views such as those espoused by Reverend Wright and apparently held by BHO (since he did not argue until after his campaign managers told him Wright was a political liability).
Obama lives in fairytaleland, and he has concocted a fantasy that too many people have swallowed whole hog without even thinking of what kind of sludge they have just ingested.
Obama is theleast experienced Presidential candidate ever nominated by ANY political party!
Perhaps Republicans have to tell the truth about BHO because the media refuses to!!!!!|||I listened very carefully to the speeches and I heard nothing about issues, just mean spirited, hateful slurs and lots of talk about their qualifications that have later been shown to be lies or twisted half truths. I will be listening tonight and hopefully McCain will provide something of substance. not that it will change my mind but I would think better of the Republicans if they would get off personalities and qualifications and discuss where they stand.At what point in the GOP convention will they quit attacking Obama and start talking about the issues?i have followed elections for a long time and i have followed this one even more closely due to a health situation. i voted for obama in my state primary and was impressed with his speech at the dnc 4 yrs. ago. sadly, this is what campaigns have become over the yrs. and it is only getting worse. i try and keep an open mind and in that respect i watched a different dnc than you did. i heard the same kind of statements at that convention that i have heard at this one. |||McCain's got the best chance of going beyond the personal attacks and touching on the issues out of anyone else at the RNC, so considering that I certainly wouldn't bet on it. I predict he will be slightly more polite than those who spoke last night, mention the economy once, Iraq twice, and Obama's inexperience more times than I can count. Just a prediction though.|||When, in the Democratic convention, did they talk about the issues? Guess I missed it. Obama certainly didn't outline any plans in his "raise-the-dead" out-stretched arms pageantry.
P.S. Obama hasn't answered anything that he hasn't changed his mind on three or four times to fine tune it.|||Tonight.
Typically conventions follow a general flow. First they introduce and build up the candidates themselves, then they rip the opposition and lastly present their vision for the future and how they'll achieve that.
I'm hoping that Day 3 of the RNC convention follows that flow.|||The thing is, everyone already KNOWS what McCain stands for. He's been open about it all along. Obama's handlers haven't made their minds up yet about what his policy is going to be, so we're all still trying to figure him out.|||Yes because only Democrats are allowed to attack the other side.
Check out McCains record on what he stands for and what he's done. As for Obama... check out his experience as a community manager and what he has voted for in the past.|||LOL... Your right it doesn't. But ya'll do know Obama isn't black right? I mean honestly. This election is becoming a white against black thing if you ask me. And no one seems to care. Anyway. Maybe they'll talk about it more tonight. |||Basic indoctrination and grandiose national nostalgia masks the issues and plays on peoples' nationalistic emotions, albeit from a myopic lens. They wont address the issues until it benefits them, or more like, not at all|||There are two things on the either side of your head, they call them ears, use them. Between them is a thing called a brain, you might want to use it also.|||NEVER. Democrats talk about ideas and solving problems. Republicans only talk in platitudes about themselves and invectives about the Democrats. |||They have been talking about the issues.
The attacks on Obama is just return fire from the Obama camp.|||Never. McCain has already said that this election is about personalities and not issues. |||Drop the selective hearing for tonight and you will get your answers.
You only hear what you want to hear.|||Never. Their position on the issues is such as to drive away any but a die-hard George W. Bush fanatic. |||Sorry.. "change" and "hope" are NOT answers to those questions.|||Billy, my friend...you have very narrow %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;vision%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;.
