I actually gave you an example of the overall jist of the speech, the theme in general was, Government good, because you the public are too stupid to do it your selves. It has always failed, or is failing where ever it is tried.

Sorry, but I did not see any reference to specific points that Obama made.

I think it's possible that the message of Democrats dovetails nicely with what used to be the message of Republicans. You need both. You need a little ebb and flow to balance things out.

Take New Jersey, for example.

New Jersey has been dominated by Democrats for.. well, forever. It's been so long that they have managed to get all of their programs through, across the board. The result? Monumental debt.

The message? Well it ain't that Democrats have it all wrong, even though some of us might be tempted to believe that. It's that both parties have it wrong in that they think one set of answers has it all covered. The best thing for all of us is the back-and-forth. Sometimes you have to shore up over here, sometimes you need a little more support over there.

Besides, Republicans have been very un-Republican for a long time now anyway. When they're crawling through your bedroom window to make sure there aren't two dicks in the same bed, remind me again who it is that thinks my government knows how I should live better than I do. When they're crawling up your ass with a fucking microscope, tapping your phone calls, "keeping us safe from terrorists" by locking down all aspects of our daily life, remind me which group knows how I should live.

Exactly! And the Dems want PayGo while the Reps are spending money like it's goin' out of style. It's role reversal - it's like the poles have shifted and the compasses are pointin' in the opposite direction! The toilet's flushing to the left!

All Hail Usama Obama

McCain supporters are actually counting on people not voting, they want only "professional voters" to turn out because any amount of first time voters are more likely to vote against the type of administration we've seen for the past eight years, that's bad news for the pro war, pro corporate, pro elite crowd. I'm continually amazed at the types of attacks, I mean comon, now we're assaulting a guy for being too confident, for drawing too much of a crowd? Show you what you're dealing with here.

Isn't McCain's grand convention to be held at a Moose Lodge somewhere?

To paraphrase he said he would "go through the national budget line by
line and remove unnecessary or failed programs" (implying such things as
pork and subsidies for large businesses) to save the country from
financial ruin.

Well, one of the very few things he did in the short period he was
actually working as a Senator was to sponsor the "Global Poverty Act".
Global welfare for the worlds poor using American tax dollars administered
though the UN (a notoriously corrupt institution).

In Bla Bla Land, you're indisputably correct!

But I'll put it out there again, what are some specific things Obama voted against that he came back and promised in his speech last night?
