MyFox_Conventions_08's Blog

I think 90% of Hillary fans will vote for Obama over McCain. They may think he is unfit to be president, but they will want Obama over McCain.
I am like the Hillary fans in a way. MY guy didn't make the cut, so I will vote for McCain and hate myself for doing so.

Either tonight will be a Love Fest or the fireworks should start with Hillary's speech. What will her supporters do? I think the real tone of this convention will be set tonight.

Tomorrow night will cap it off with Bill Clinton's speech.

Last night was a bust. Just more of the same ol', same ol'. Kennedy got the sympathy. Michelle was uninspiring.

I'm glad you're there John and not me.

If democrat: Bring back the Truman types if a presidential candidate or politician serves:

Harry S. Truman an Honorable Democrat.
"It doesn't matter how big a ranch ya' own, or how many cows ya' brand, the size of your funeral is still gonna depend on the weather."
Harry Truman.

When President Truman retired from office in 1952, his income was substantially a U.S. Army pension reported to have been $13,507.72 a year.
Congress, noting that he was paying for his stamps and personally licking them, granted him an 'allowance' and, later, a retroactive pension of $25,000 per year.

When offered corporate positions at large salaries, he declined, stating, "You don't want me. You want the office of the president, and that doesn't belong to me. It belongs to the American people and it's not for sale." Even later, on May 6, 1971, when Congress was preparing to award him the Medal of Honor on his 87th birthday, he refused to accept it, writing, "I don't consider that I have done anything which should be the reason for any award, Congressional or otherwise."

We now see that past presidents, have found a new level of success in cashing in on the presidency, resulting in untold wealth. Today, many in Congress also have found a way to become quite wealthy while enjoying the fruits of their offices. Political offices are now for sale.

I think good old Harry Truman was correct when he observed, "My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference. I, for one, believe the piano player

Democrats bickered among themselves Tuesday about how hard to attack John McCain as the party's former dominant couple. Maybe if they concentrated on Obama and "WHAT HE PLANS TO DO ONCE(IF)HE'S IN THE WHITE HOUSE" might help out there cause. All this bickering is making them look juvenile. For me this (whole 3yrs worth)of election process has just about worn out my last nerve. Its to the point that when a TV station starts talking "election2008" I take my remote control and CHANGE THE CHANNEL. At this point I really could give a rats arse who wins because both parties are an effin JOKE. Neither one wants to take about what he will do as President, how he maybe will effect "change", all they want to do is sling mudd and Im tired of hearing it. LET TALK ABOUT WHAT THERE PLANS ARE ONCE THEY ARE ELECTED. NOT THE OTHER PARTY AND WHAT STUPID THINGS THEY DID WHEN THEY WHERE 5YRS OLD!!!

Ken- I don't know about Hillary's people voting for Obama.....they can't stand him.
go to; www.hillaryclintonforum.net and scan their blogs.......interesting reading.

JustMePA, the Republicans are having the same ugly moment with McCain.

I just watched Hillary's speech. WOW! I was impressed! I decided I am going to vote for Obama.
NOT

John Hook......what Democratic Convention were you at. While watching it after Hillary's speech I think alot of the Democrats will do what she asked them to do. Support Barack.

When you say the Dems...surely you don't mean all Dems. I agree with KenofAZ. A large % of Hillery supporters will go with Barack.

Let's see what happens after tonight when Joe Biden does his speech.

Hillary Clinton's 08/26/08 'speech quotation' from the Democratic convention.

"I am honored to be here tonight. A proud mother. A proud Democrat.

A proud American. And a proud supporter of Barack Obama."


Being the former First Lady and the wife of the Former U. S. President,

you'd think she might have included her husband in her statement.

Apparently, she was not proud of Bill Clinton! (Not even a crumb of a word!

Regardless of one's politics, for a person of stature to omit one's spouse is truly cold.

It was sad and pathetic and inexcusable!

*** I even felt sorry for Mr. Clinton.

I had too much to say on this topic so I blogged my own.
