Mr. McCain, can't you understand plain English? Drescher isn't upset because she can't have children, she's upset because she can't have an abortion!

Robert Stacy McCain didn't go far enough in describing the make-up of the Democratic Party: they are a coalition of whiny grievance groups, each vying for "special privilege," aka a bigger slice of the government pie.

Unity? Hatred for anyone who disagrees with the far left worldview is the only tie that binds -- rather loosely, it appears.

Re: Philip Klein's Obama Needs More Than Change:

Thank you, very much, for a straightforward, non-biased article. You have indeed "hit the nail on the head." Great job.

Again, Thanks!

Hillary cannot make the case for Obama. She can only say that she supports him, which she did. I do not see how anyone can expect her to make a case for Obama as president when he cannot seem to make one for himself.
-- Jeff Seyfert

The DNC, still under the thrall of the Clintons', chose their keynote speaker with the specific intent to avoid another Obama. As demonstrated by Madame Hillary's powerful oration but weak endorsement of their presidential nominee, Clinton is preparing for a McCain victory so she can take back her crown. Obvious to everyone, including Obama, Hillary is still in it to win it. If she could put up with her husband's philandering for over two decades, she can comfortably ride out a four-year McCain administration. Gov. Warner gave exactly the type of speech Bill and Hillary wanted from their keynote speaker, one that does little to endorse Obama and leaves the door open to Billary in 2012. Very little happens within the DNC without the Clinton's fingerprints.

Re: W. James Antle III's Lukewarm Warner:

The only thing one can say about the Democrats' Convention so far is that it has not been planned well. The message was muddled.

Consider just one anomaly. Attendees produced signs with John McCain's name on them and waved them in a couple of choreographed sequences to show displeasure with him. Someone must have forgotten that 10 million folks would see the signs on TV and be visually reminded of McCain, a different synapse than mere mention of his name in a negative context.

The stage and backdrop with the big DNC made me think of a giant jukebox and the absence of a U.S. flag prominent in the background seemed unusual adding to the feeling that the event was poorly planned.

Truly, Democratic conventions are always entertaining. For one, all the speakers always outline grandiose promises, making America's central government transform America into some kind of Communist utopia! Inviting massive transfer of wealth, through taxation. Following Krazy Karl Marx's formula: "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need." An autocratic, Socialist regime where everything is "free."

There is one downside, however: every disparaging remark made about Republicans, and President Bush, is true. Bush Sr. severely damaged the Republican Party to the extent of allowing America's first sodomist President to hold two terms in office! So corrupt, that he narrowly avoided impeachment! Then along comes Bush Jr., and manages to completely destroy the Republican Party. Declared two unconstitutional wars in Afghanistan and in Iraq. Feckless Republicans in the Congress and in the Senate sealed the Party's fate by funding them. The Party is now a ghost. Unrecognizable.

Between Bush Jr. kissing Saudi princes on the lips, and Condoleezza Rice personally destroying America's power and international credibility, America has become the world's laughingstock. A powerful, but dangerous clown, garnering snickers from even Third World countries who receive billions of Americans tax money every year (unconstitutional!).
