Monica Crowley: "Same Old Crapola"

I didn't bother to watch the Democrat National Convention (a.k.a. Freakshow 2012 or Abortionpalooza).  Fortunately, Monica Crowley did and wrote about it in a blog post entitled, "Same Old Crapola."

It reads, in part:

President Obama's acceptance speech this week looked and sounded like a faded Xerox copy of one of his speeches from 2008. Or 2009. Or 2010. Or 2011. Or 2012. 

Here's what we heard: Class warfare. Radical wealth redistribution. Demands for ever-more spending. A celebration of socialized medicine. Calls for "social justice." Lies about his record. Justifications for policies that are imploding our economy and destroying our ability to remain a superpower.

We also heard pleas for another term. But to do what, exactly? If he told us the truth about what he'd do in another four years, we'd all run screaming into the street. So, we got more wispy rhetoric about keeping hope alive and how change takes time. "When I said 'change you can believe in,' I didn't say change you can believe in tomorrow.," he once said. Actually, he did suggest that the change of which he spoke in 2008 would be immediate. And a lot of it was. The problem is that the change has resulted in a disastrous economy as a direct result of his statist policies. But you didn't hear that from him this week. You only heard excuses, requests for patience..and lies. Lots of lies. And oh yeah: Eva Longoria and Scarlett Johannsen. Who almost made folks forget about the lies. Almost.

National Review: "Thought Police Control Convention's Radio Row"

The so-called "open and transparent" political party froze out conservative talk shows who set up booths at the Democratic National Convention's "Radio Row" for interviews.

According to National Review Online:

Conservative talk-show hosts who came to Charlotte to interview political figures are furious. For the first time in anyone’s memory, Radio Row — the designated set of booths available to visiting talk-show hosts — has seen restrictions placed on its use by Team Obama. DNC staffers at Radio Row will book leading Democrats for slots on conservative stations but then cancel the appearances an hour or so before broadcast “because you’re not our audience.” 

Larry O’Connor of Breitbart Radio told me, “It was the most bizarre act of censorship. These shows paid large fees and spent thousands on equipment setup and they couldn’t do their programs because of interference.”

This sounds like something right out of Soviet Russia.

Godless Democrats Apply "Chicago Rules" On Voice Vote

The Democratic National Convention (a.k.a. Freakshow 2012) is in turmoil after the platform was adopted without God being mentioned and any reference to Jerusalem as the capital of Israel was dropped.

They made matters worse when a voice vote was ordered on the convention floor to amend the adopted platform to include God and referencing Jerusalem as Israel's capital after the GOP hit hard.

Convention Chairman Antonio Villaraigosa had to call for three votes, each requiring 2/3 "yea" votes to pass.   By no stretch of the imagination did a vote come to the required 2/3 vote in the affirmative.  Yet Villaraigosa then adopted "Chicago rules" and ruled the amendment passed.  This caused an uproar on the convention floor with many delegates booing the convention chairman.

This is, as talk-show host Hugh Hewit noted:

A true debacle and revealing on so many levels --the precariousness of the Jewish vote, the genuine anti-Israel sentiment on the floor, and the disregard for the rules when inconvenient.

Womanizing Sleazies To Run and Headline Democratic National Convention

It is amusing that the Democratic National Convention will be chaired by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

Villaraigosa has been one of the most ineffective big-city mayors in the United States.  Los Angeles is saddled with debt, much of it from the sweetheart public employee pension deals made with the public employee unions.

Villaraigosa was too cowardly to even debate his opponent on the issues during his re-election campaign.

It is also amusing to see that while the Democrats are trying to label the Republicans as anti-women (i.e., "The War On Women"), they chose Villaraigosa to chair their convention.  Villaraigosa, in the tradition of the womanizing Bill Clinton, was caught having an affair with a television news reporter.

Speaking of Bill Clinton, he is to give the Democrats the convention keynote address.  This is the same Bill Clinton who lied about his affair with Monica Lewinsky and who was involved (some say rape) with other women including Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers, et al.

Oh, yeah.  The Democratic National Convention is sure to be inspiring.
