This convention is a PR disaster for the Democrats. The extremists are on full display. Sandra Fluke? Booing God? What a circus freak show.

Fortunately we're going to hear from that great champion of women, Bill Clinton. Yes, you couldn't make this up.

Let me guess.......you made the decision to homeschool your kids when prayer was taken out of public schools.

I hope I live long enough to see an atheist in the White House.

What a great day that will be!

It's the same phenomenon that occurs when you see a gruesome accident on the highway. You just can't turn away.

Obama could save a busload of nuns and no conservative would admit the convention is a success. When someone talks to an empty chair, throws peanuts at a black person and angrily shouts USA to a Puerto Rican woman, then you may call it a "disaster"
