How can I be completely free to practice my own faith, or no faith at all, if I am forced to obey laws that are based on religious principles?
What law is that?

Yeah, well hey, the DNC sure had the RNC beat in terms of morbidly obese people of color!

So I was correct as far as his infleunce on you. Goebbels would have been willing to put this lizrard on the payroll.

Sorry your token minority speakers didn't make it to prime time, but then, it wasn't the networks who set the schedule for speakers. That would be the RNC.

That is the reason nothing gets done. Its the dam Republicans. Turtle head has said it many times the last few years. ...block all progress. These fools are just hurting the country, even to the point of being Anti American. Why are these dorks from the right so afraid of Grover Norquist.anyway ? Its the Republicans who have no backbone, they are afraid of their own shadow !. All they know is to obstruct, and try to meddle into peoples private lives, all in the name of some stupid religious dogma. No Women, ether party should ever vote republican ...never ! Those that do are only hurting the majority of their sex.

Oh, I'm pretty sure Condoleeza Rice was prime time. Do you consider the former Secretary of State a "token"? Or Marco Rubio? The RNC's Hispanic "token"? How about Nikki Haley? Is she the RNC's Indian "token"? Oh, but we also have Bobby Jindal who stayed in Louisiana because of the storm.

So you can relate to the folks affected by Romney's Bain.

Good for you.

Compassion and perspective are important.

Yeah, pay no attention to the 75% of the companies Bain invested in that did well and went on to expand and prosper. I'd rather bet on a person who has had a 75% success rate than President ZERO.
