The hypocrisy, the outright lies, the vituperativeness, the purposeful avoidance of key issues, of leading Democrats this election season leaves me so sputtering that I'm almost speechless in astonished disgust.
My friend Ruth King, however, ably sums up the 2nd night of the Democrat Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina:
MY SAY: THE CHARLOTTANS LAST NIGHT
By Ruth King on September 6th, 2012
Did you all know there is no terror threat, no Iran, no Afghanistan no Iraq, no Taliban, no God, no Jerusalem (well maybe little God and Jerusalem, although the Nays among the audience were loud and clear) Nope…only back alley abortions and women subjugated to the back room. By Sharia laws you ask. Nope again. I was actually amused that Fluke’s controlled tantrum and Elizabeth Warren’s wampum was followed by Slick Willie whose treatment of “nutty and slutty” women is one for the records. But, never mind, he aimed his rapier into the heart of the failure of Obamanomics.
Give him another chance, he intoned:
“A lot of Americans are still angry and frustrated about this economy…..If you look at the numbers, you know that employment is growing, banks are beginning to lend again, and a lot of housing prices are even beginning to pick up.
“But too many people do not feel it yet…..If will you renew the president’s contract, you will feel it. You will feel it.”
And then he added this zinger:
“Folks, whether the American people believe what I just told you or not may be the whole election. I just want you to know I believe it. With all my heart I believe it.”
Now would this man ever lie? At least he didn’t wave his finger at his audience.
