Not a very impressive lineup. I'm sure they will have a surprise or two but as it stands, Clinton seems to be the only big name on the roster.

One thing you can take to the bank:

What I saw at the RNC there not one personal attack on Obama. All that was discussed was his performance in office and his failed polices

We will here how Mitt wants to kill seniors, starve kids, have old people thrown out of their homes and die in the streets, the race war will be taken up about 50 notches, how Republicans want to keep women in the kitchen, and take away the right to vote from blacks and other minorities, and the longest list of freebies ever promised in US history

Cory Booker (D-Newark, NJ) Drilled Obama a New Orifice just a couple months ago....

Obama cant be too excited about him being a speaker....

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/20/cory-booker-bain-attacks-obama-campaign-mitt-romney_n_1531036.html

Newark N.J. Mayor Cory Booker (D) expressed reserve about the Obama campaign's Bain strategy against Mitt Romney, telling "Meet The Press" viewers on Sunday that he was "uncomfortable" with the line of attacks.

"This kind of stuff is nauseating to me on both sides," Booker said. "It's nauseating to the American public. Enough is enough. Stop attacking private equity."

Booker was referencing the Obama campaign's Monday release of a series of documentary-esque Bain videos. The clips depicted Romney as a job destroyer at places like GST steel -- a company purchased by Bain that later saw hundreds of workers lose their employment.

If anyone insists on watching any of these people speak (including Obama) it might help to play this game

This can be used with ANY of the speeches given - they are all interchangeable

Just ran across this from Axelrod on what the Dems will focus on during their convention.
Take a guess?

That's right, the failed economic policies of BUSH.

“We are going to take issue with the policies that were in place in the last decade, because this is where they want to go back to,” Axelrod said. ”These are the policies that they want to embrace once again."

Here's their chance to tell America what Obama will do for a second term and they want to bring up Bush?!?!?!

Damn, that is so pathetic.

I do plan on watching the DNC and see what they have to offer in the wake of the RNC. I read elsewhere that Reid and Pelosi would be speaking and it appears that's not the case. I would rather watch Carter on video and Clinton than endure anything from them idiots.

jimnyc. Though most would recommend watching the DNC convention next week to learn what they are talking about, and what they are up to.

I know from much experience. It would be hazardous to my health to waste my time watching it. My wife has warned me, and reminded me how angry I get whenever I see, or hear Obama in his advertisements full of Lies. And how my BLOOD PRESSURE instantly increases.

So. I will find something else to do next week. Maybe spend more time with our youngest grandson of One. Who has much more intelligence, and common sense than anyone I would see at the DNC convention.

[gabosaurus]

Why would anyone relevant and interesting want to speak at the Dem convention? Nothing is more boring than a political convention where no one is nominated. Dems do not plan to watch it. Why should anyone else?

[Kathianne]

Well just tried to find a 'schedule' for the DNC Convention, no luck. However did find this, I think someone posted about it earlier?

That’s weird?
Back on Monday the Obama Campaign listed an “Islamic Jumah at the DNC” as an “official function (http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2012/08/obama-campaign-will-hold-muslim-jumah-at-dnc-but-wont-let-catholic-cardinal-lead-prayer/)” at the DNC convention in Charlotte next week.

But now it’s gone (http://charlottein2012.com/events/).
Gerard Direct (http://gerarddirect.com/2012/08/31/update-dnc-removes-all-reference-of-juma-from-website/?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_campaign=669d0a431b-July_22_20127_22_2012&utm_medium=email) has more on the disappearing Jumah:

Earlier this week, we posted an article about the DNC sponsoring, as an “official event” JUMAH at the DNC (watch the promotional video here).


Florida Family Association sent out an email alert on August 29, 2012 which reported the following two sub headlines:


“DNC approves Jumah for 20,000 Muslims.” “RNC adopts anti-Sharia plank at convention.”


The email alert and Floridafamily.org website provided a link to the DNC web site calendar of events which at that time and up until yesterday afternoon included the Juma event, which the original DNC website listed as an “official function.”


However, since then, the Jumah event was removed from the DNC web site calendar, and there is no reference at all to the event. A supporter noted in an e-mail, “It was still there 5.30 PM on 8/30/2012 and at 6.30 PM it was gone! I looked everywhere but it’s not listed anymore.”
The event is still listed at MuslimBureau.com (http://muslimbureau.com/jumahatdnc/).
