How'd it go the last time the GOP pushed on that?

No. The truth is that he did absolutely everything he set out to do, and he did it in a compelling way. The biggest mistake you can make in politics is to believe that because you hate your enemy, they can't do anything well. I have to laugh--you're calling me a "hack" for being rational and objective. Who's the one swooning and unable to look at the truth? Clinton rocked this.
I told my good friend after the Clintonian speech, ''He's the best political con man speaker I think I ever heard. But, I know he adlibs LIES, distorts truths, twists and just plain BS's in a eloquent style. That's what a slick huckster does...to sell his garbage.

Clinton is not the first to do it. But, some of us recognize a fraud, bogus low-life LIAR....for what he truly is. A snake from Hell.

Could we call this, the Democrats Ron Paul moment?

This sounds very familiar.

It seems as though essentially half of democrats really do oppose Jews and God. It was funny as hell, but the truth hurts!
Did you notice the Arab signs held by those who booed? How's the Muslim Brotherhood working out in Egypt, you know, the Arab Spring Obama enabled? The "vote" to re-add the language that was removed from the Dem Platform looked more like an election in Venezuela. I find it absolutely disgusting that Dems are willing to hand over our freedoms and liberties to Muslims and continue to ignore the atrocities of KSM and call the Fort Hood shooting "workplace violence". Slick Willie let OBL go folks, remember? Under Slick Willie we had the bombing of the Cole, remember? Obama has spent $118B on Afghanistan compared to $32B spent by Bush on Afghanistan and the lamestream media no longer reports how many of our fine soldiers are coming home in body bags because the truth doesn't jive with the Dem Platform. Hypocrites of the nth degree. Makes me sick.

Exclamation Clinton: IN 52 years, Economy produced 66 million private sector jobs. The Job Score? Republicans: 24 M Democrats 42 M

We Democrats, we think the country works better with a
strong middle class, with real opportunities for poor folks to
work their way into it, with a relentless focus on the future,
with business and government actually working together to
promote growth and broadly shared prosperity.

You see, we believe that "We're all in this together'' is a far better philosophy than "You're on your own.''

So who's right?

Well, since 1961, for 52 years now, the Republicans have held the White House 28 years, the Democrats 24. In those 52 years, our private economy has produced 66 million private sector jobs.

So what's the job score?

Republicans: twenty-four million. Democrats: forty-two.

Now, there's -- there's a reason for this. It turns out that advancing equal opportunity and economic empowerment is both morally right and good economics.
Why? Because poverty, discrimination, and ignorance restrict growth.

Interesting.

Seriously? That's whole reason these conventions are televised. Nothing but speeches meant to garner votes.

What about the real hardcore national priorities and hardcore platforms that address them?

It was HILARIOUS! The floor vote had an equal number of people supporting and opposing the measure, but they "passed" it anyway!

The dems really do opposed God and Israel.

hmmm...well he can't cover up that unpaved, rocky road BO has left behind.

Even more interesting is how Democrats are trying to proclaim job creations which took place in the 1960's, are a valid reason to re-elect Obama 50 years later..

Even more interesting, is how you ramble on and on about how Congress is stopping job creations from taking place, (another example would be who held Congress during the COMPLETE economic collaps?) but now all of a sudden, its the president.. Make up your mind and stop flip flopping..
