I'd love to see how tonight's speeches play among undecideds...
These guys get me angry, because I've educated myself on the issues and I can pick out the bullshit (pretty much everything after "Thank You" and "Hello"). But they also come off like snarling, evil, grumpy old cranks -- the sort of crazy cooks down the street who used to chase you off their lawns when you were getting your frisbee and who everyone told scary stories about while camping ("I hear ol' crazy Grandpa Miller keeps human heads in his basement...).

Maybe I'm wrong and watching with a biased eye, but if I was an undecided voter trying to find a party I could identify with, I would watch tonight and feel like I wanted no part of these people. I'm not a grumpy old crank yet, though, so who knows?

2. Kerry should get Obama out to debate with Zell on TV shows.

4. That would be hilarious...
...jesus, it's like a calvacade of "angry old wealthy white men" and their bubble headed wives and daughters. Sad, sad and evil, and wrong. These people are a drag on our evolution as a species.

3. It's so funny! They claim to be forward looking, but all they do is
try to pick apart Kerry. No plans, no future, no optimism! What a bunch of losing losers.

5. No, I think that's a reasonable observation
It's funny.
Everything I have heard tonight is war,war,war,war,weapons,weapons,bombs,fighters,bombs...it's disgusting.

And if I was on the fence and I was watching this hate fest I would think...these people aren't like me. They aren't like anyone I know.
