Do they always give this much camera time to the protesters?
Which channel are you watching?

and if they could chant it after statements where it makes no sense to chant it.

I think they are drowning out protesters.

I'd be willing to bet he's watching NBC..

They've shown protestors 4-5 times now

Talk is the reason Obama is where he is. He talks well. That's it. That's what he has to hang his hat on. That's why people like him.

He'd make a great preacher or motivational speaker. At least he has a future.

For some reason they show up in lingerie, but also heavily clothed.

I don't know who's said that.
Every single person who has spoken at the Republican convention?
I'd say both parties raise spending though I do think Republicans generally cut taxes more. That's more irresponsible in a way since the cuts aren't "paid for." So I'd like someone to cut both, but that hasn't happened since we had Clinton in the White House and a Republican Congress.
Exactly. Cutting taxes without reducing spending is not being fiscally conservative. It's actually the opposite.

NBC has shown them a lot.

His mother is 96 years old, I guess if he gets elected, he may make it through 4 years....

That's exactly what I was thinking. You knew it was going to happen though. The total smear campaign simply would not work against Obama.

B-i-n-g-o and bingo was his name-o

I've been preaching that since the day he won the nomination
