Tidbits On The DNC; It's A Zoo

What a disorganized event we are witnessing in Charlotte. The weather forecast calls for a 10% chance of moisture this evening so the handlers have moved Obama's speech from a 74,000 seat amphitheater to an indoor 20,000 facility. Hmmmm. It doesn't matter what the weather is, their just weren't going to be that many to fill the place.
A few days ago I wrote about the DNC eliminating the word, God, from their platform. They also dropped the notion that Jerusalem would be the Israeli capital forever. My guess is Obama had a conniption fit over this. Then some dude, yesterday, went on stage to have a verbal roll call vote. Those in favor of changing the platform were, in unison, to shout "Yea". Those against the change were to give a "Nay" answer. Three times this person asked for the vote. It need a two-thirds vote by voice. It was obvious that the Nays outnumbered the Yeas but, Lawdy Lawdy, the audience was told the Yeas won. Then the boos rained down from the rafters. Even Bob Beckel on The Five had to laugh at that elimination of democracy.
Readers, I'm under no great belief that, if the Republicans win this election(which I think they will), there will be massive change for the better in the country. The GOP will still control the process. The TEA Party won the congressional elections for the Republicans in 2010 but did you notice how they were shut out at their convention? It'll still be the same old same old. It's just that we won't have an avowed socialist-Alinskyite in the White House. Let me illustrate. I thought there was one very significant aspect of Clinton's speech last night and, no, I didn't watch. It came from news accounts this morning. I will quote verbatim: "He(Obama) has laid the foundation for a new modern economy; a shared prosperity". If that isn't a call for socialism then what is? Heck, Joe the Plumber was right from the get go. I don't want shared prosperity. I want to be able to give of my money to my son's high school, to my church, to the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation, to the American Cancer Society. I want to do it of my own free will. And I have to believe that the great many of you who read this feel the same.
