I don't know if anyone saw, but the DNC is going to be hosting a "Jumah" ... (Note: "Jumah" just means their Friday congregational prayer. There doesn't appear to be any other religions allowed for their own prayer conferences, but the DNC did finally aquiesce and is allowing Cardinal Dolan to give the closing prayer.) This won't be just a prayer, but a full conference.
But what I find quite interesting already is that one of people highlighted on their advertisement is "Imam Siraj Wahhaj" who has quite openly advocated for overthrowing the USA, saying, "If only Muslims were clever politically, they could take over the United States and replace it's Constitutional government with a caliphate."
Another leader is Jibril Hough, who's mosque, the Islamic Center of Charlotte, is owned by a Muslim Brotherhood front group. The North American Islamic Trust, which was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terrorist funding case. The largest terrorist funding case in American history, it resulted in multiple convictions.
Oh, and the DNC says that the Islamic leaders of the program are typical of the DNC community. So if USA haters are "typical", how many more radicalized anti-American groups & people are in the DNC that Obama and his cronies friends with?
(And for those of you that want to purposefully misconstrue what I wrote.... this isn't about Islam or the prayer conference itself... it's about who they're inviting and their goals.)

I have to wonder how Romney would do if he weren't running against an incumbent, if he had to explain his policies instead of criticizing Obama's.
Honestly, I've heard very little about Romney's actual plan, just that "on his first day in office he'll move to repeal Obamacare."
As for Ryan's acceptance speech....
Cringeworthy.
It's Obama's fault Bush was president when the factory in Ryan's hometown closed.
I lost any respect I had for him in that speech.

And then replace it with RomneyCare..... What's the difference?
Anyway, unless he has the same anti-Constitutional views as Obama, he can't repeal it without both houses of Congress.

You had some? We only have to look at his voting record to know Ryan is another big government politician.

Anyone else read that the Democrats have removed all mention of God from their official party platform? Is that because they have the MESSiah? 
What's funny is how they can't answer why when asked about it... they get all defensive.

So will the DNC move venues for Obama because they can't guarantee that all their busing in people will fill all the seats (again)?

Anyone else watching the DNC? They had a video saying that we (the people) "belong" to the government....
But none of us should be too shocked by that... to the ProRegressives, government is the answer and the citizens are just the slaves.

> The Media's 'Fact Check' Smokescreen Journalism: If media "fact checkers" are just impartial guardians of the truth, how come they got their own facts wrong about Paul Ryan's speech, and did so in a way that helped President Obama's re-election effort?Case in point was the rush of "fact check" stories claiming Ryan misled when he talked about a shuttered auto plant in his home state.Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler posted a piece — "Ryan misleads on GM plant closing in hometown" — saying Ryan "appeared to suggest" that Obama was responsible for the closure of a GM plant in Janesville, Wis."That's not true," Kessler said. "The plant was closed in December 2008, before Obama was sworn in."What's not true are Kessler's "facts." Ryan didn't suggest Obama was responsible for shuttering the plant. Instead, he correctly noted that Obama promised during the campaign that the troubled plant "will be here for another hundred years" if his policies were enacted.Also, the plant didn't close in December 2008. It was still producing cars until April 2009.An AP "fact check" also claimed that "the plant halted production in December 2008" even though the AP itself reported in April 2009 that the plant was only then "closing for good."CNN's John King made the same claim about that plant closure. But when CNN looked more carefully at the evidence, it — to its credit — concluded that what Ryan said was "true."Subscribe to the IBD Editorials Podcast Media fact-checkers also complained about Ryan's charge that Obama is cutting $716 billion from Medicare to fund ObamaCare. Not true, they said. Medicare's growth is just being slowed.But Obama achieves that slower growth by making real cuts in provider payments. And in any case, the media always and everywhere call a reduction in the rate of federal spending growth a "cut." So why suddenly charge Ryan with being misleading for using that same term?In any case, Obama himself admitted that he's doing what Ryan says. In a November 2009 interview with ABC News, reporter Jake Tapper said to Obama that "one-third of the funding comes from cuts to Medicare," to which Obama's response was: "Right."The rest of Ryan's alleged factual errors aren't errors at all; it's just that the media didn't like how he said it. But since when is it a fact-checker's job to decide how a politician should construct his arguments?This isn't to say that journalists shouldn't check facts. Of course they should.The problem is that the mainstream press is now abusing the "fact check" label, using it to more aggressively push a liberal agenda without feeling the need to provide any balance whatsoever. And, as the reaction to the Ryan speech shows, they are now blatantly using it to provide air support for Obama.Is it any wonder that soon after Ryan's speech ended, the Obama campaign rushed out an ad using the media's "fact check" stories as its source?

It really depends on your source. The problem with today's political scene is that both sides lie all the time, and so it's hard to seperate the truth. I can completely believe that these "fact checkers" were wrong, but I think we can both agree it has worked to both sides advantage.
Do we agree that any successful politician has lied or taken advantage of misleading information to get where they are?
As a wise man once said, "Anyone that wants to be President should automatically be disqualified."
In the days of Thomas Jefferson, anyone actively campaigning for the presidency was thought to be power hungry and untrustworthy. If only that attitude carried over into today....
Believe me, living in a swing state, I see a lot of misleading data.

I actually did have some, yes.
Then again, the presidential race does this to people.

What's so sad is that the ProRegressives don't understand that it's a person's character that matters..... If they vote for Obama because he's black, it's acceptable, but if we vote for someone else because of character, it's "racism."

Someone forgot to change out Obama's speeches on TOTUS:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C_x5JmHa7E
What does this tell us??? To me, it means that he's telling us that the same problems that he campaigned on last time are still here and he didn't do anything about them (even though he said he'd fix them in three years.) This is just one example of why Obama can't run on his record.
