The problems w/Republicans are that they truly are out of touch w/normalcy & reality. A rich, famous teacher?! Oppressing Unions, who only have themselves to depend on against arbitrary corporations & bureaucracy’s? Cutting education to the Middle Class & poor, when the science proves it is the SUREST way out of poverty?! The planet Romney & Ryan are from is far from here & obviously not inhabited by human beings…

I have often said that the GOP has nothing to offer the working class/ middle class or the poor. But I don’t want to be entirely negative about the GOP.
In Tampa they bespoke tremendous patriotism. They got me to believe that they love mom, baseball and apple pie. They have an unbounded devotion to our service men and women.
At least that’s what I thought until I heard that the Ryan Budget would cut $9 billion from veteran’s benefits, while at the same time giving more to the Pentagon than the Pentagon has asked for. So here we go again- the GOP showing it’s support for the big boys at the top and turning its back on the service men and women returning from active duty with all kinds of physical and mental injuries. Score one for the generals, zero for the plebes.
Maybe there are two kinds of patriotism: one that involves shared sacrifice and another that is just words. Which kind does the GOP have?

The only way the Republicans know how to appeal to anyone besides their wealthy donors anymore is to pretend they are one of them. Which is why we have Mitt Romney telling Hispanics about his Mexican heritage and telling Southerners he started his morning with some cheesy grits, along with all of this nonsense about them having blue-collar roots. They know we won’t vote for their policies, so instead they’re hoping to dupe us into thinking we’re voting for someone just like us.

The difference between the DNC and RNC is the Democratic speakers are self-made and know what it is to struggle first hand. The RNC is full of people who grew up rich but whose PARENTS struggled.

RNC = Out of Touch

Did’nt they spend a year or more in WI. and elsewhere saying Labor was the problem? I remember hearing over and over that school teachers made too much money and that firefighters and policeman were the enemy of our econmic recovery?

This author got it right the GOP has no respect for the American worker.

The difference between the RNC and the DNC could be easily discerned by comparing the speakers to those in the audience. The RNC showcased a handful of tokens that did not remotely look like the audience in front of them to project an illusion of inclusiveness, the DNC speakers looked – and were – members of an audience that personified our diversity and who we are.
I wonder what the GOP is going to say when they hear former Florida Republican Governor Charlie Crist, who was among those vetted to be McCain’s running mate, delivering a speech at the DNC tomorrow, this time as a Democrat disgusted with what is happening to the GOP!
