Hillary was absolutely masterful, Bill was damned good, Biden was good and will get much better as he adapts to his new speechwriters. I am surprised you are not upset about Biden showing off his grandchildren. Eisboch Why? It's traditional and appropriate at that moment- the end of the speech at a convention - for the candidate's family to appear on stage. Besides, Biden, especially, has a compelling family story, as I am sure you know. So...you're a Republican...what's your guess on the veep nom? Wrong, ballot-breath. I am a registered nothing, consider myself an Independent, although certainly admit to right leaning tendencies on most issues. In some areas though, I am probably as liberal as you. gasp I have a bit of a hang-up about the concept of being a "registered" member of any political party. Doing so tends to make one accept and, by default, support platform issues that one otherwise may not be in agreement with. Lemmings. We saw that during the Dem's convention. Compromises of principles by all for the "common good" of the party. Past differences forgotten. Nope, not for me. I vote for the person who I think will best serve the best interests of the USA in national and international issues, not for the one who will best forward a political party's agenda, developed through political compromise and back room deals. Eisboch You don't have to be "registered" to be a Republican or a Democrat. If you vote mostly Republican, you are a Republican. You vote mostly Republican, I am sure, especially for President. I am a registered Democrat. I haven't read through a Democratic party platform document in decades, probably not since 1970. I have no idea what is in this year's "platform," and I couldn't care less. My father in law is a lifelong registered Republican. I haven't asked him, but I suspect he has never ever read a GOP party platform document. I think you completely missed the point that Eisboch was making. |
