Jon Stewart calls the RNC out on their deceitful tactics. Don't worry he makes it funny.

Stewart has some fun with this, which is actually a little cathartic for me, since I spent much of my time watching the various speeches last night wanting to tear my hair out by the roots.

Literally EVERY SINGLE speech given, with the possible exception of Condoleezza Rice's speech, was filled with misrepresentations and outright lies about either what the President said, or what the President has done.

Essentially it seemed to me that the Republicans have so little to run on that they are forced to manufacture something negative about Obama, that they can then spend EVERY SINGLE speech attacking. I have heard of the straw man argument, but this is a entire straw man campaign.

To put it more succinctly, "Fuck the Republicans, they're liars!"

    To the tune of 'The Party's Over'
    My apologies to Nat King Cole, Betty Comden
    Adolph Green and Jule Styne

    The party's over
    It's time to pack up your wig
    They've dumped your from their lineup
    Go home and take care of Trig
    It's time to end the charade
    Your star continues to fade

    The party's over
    McCain chose you on a dare and a whim
    Your brain is lodged in dumb and dim
    Your Fox gig wouldn't last forever
    Their ties to you they are now desperate to sever
    Take off your makeup, the party's over
    It's all over, my friend

    It's all over, my friend
    You couldn't bring yourself to endorse Mitt
    Fox grew tired of your bullshit
    Your looks and attitude continue to go
    They're sinking quicker than ratings for Todd's TV show
    It's all over, my friend

    The party's over
    Take your bony, angry ass back home
    If Wasilla shuns you, go straight to Nome
    You can open a Chik-fil-A and peddle your hate
    But it's time to accept your inevitable fate
    Cause your party is over you, my friend

    Couldn't believe they put Rice up there, Hurricane I coming and then she talks about 9/11 like she hadn't seen the report, all mushroom cloudy, and then they go and fuck up Iraq. Like anyone with a working brain hasn't forgotten all that. Support the troops and all that....too bad they didn't have the support of the asshole draft dodgers sending them there.

      Crickets chirping about who got Bin Laden, then when asked by Andrea Mitchel, she gave credit to GWBush!

      She did, however, outshine all the other speakers, come to think of it, how hard could that be?

    Mystery speaker at the RNC ain't Sarah, it's Clint as in Eastwood.

    Yahoo is reporting that the RNC's "mystery guest" is Clint Eastwood.

    Too bad, Sarah ...

    yeah they're liars gryphen, but the problem is that their supporters want lies - they don't want the truth. truth leads them to understand that everything they've been taught is wrong, and that's just too scary for them to deal with. because the supporters are fine with the lies it's just going to continue, so try not to let it affect your blood pressure. can't do anything about it.

    and take heart - obama is going to eviscerate them when he speaks at the convention. when he is done with his speech, every one of those shits will be looking like the petulant lying bullies that they are. and it's going to be a beautiful thing. the country will be reminded once again, why he is the president - and why he should get another term.

    I hope lots of people got to see the Samantha Bee bit on the Daily Show!

    Oh, man, if you can recall that "Borat" movie, where the main character makes absolute buffoons out of the people he talks with, this is even better.

    She gets the dummies who feel the need to defend Romney, even if he is convicted of first degree murder, to admit that Romney doesn't exactly go along with the Republican Party platform.

    They rabidly defend his position, saying some of those old, all-American platitudes like how no one should be FORCED to believe and act in any certain way...we have FREEDOM in America, to make our own choices!

    Bee nods, and leads them down the primrose path to having them claim to be staunch believers in PRO CHOICE!

    Just as it starts to dawn on them, what they've admitted to, she adds, "Except when it comes to my vagina, right?"

    So perfect. She shoots, she scores!

    I watched all three nights, the last was a doosie! Clint Eastwood's schtick was disgusting, demeaning and disrepectful of President Obama. He spoke to an empty chair, putting foul language and talking down to the imaginary President.

    Mitt's speech was all red meat.

    POTUS tweeted a photo of him sitting in his office saying "This seat's taken" - Damn, I love that man!!!!

    Stewart somehow made it worth the waste of time watching the circus side show.

    If Romney can't do an easy job like replacing the light bulb in the stove right, why would anyone want to trust him with our country?

    Thought Ann Romney looked awful all evening. Was she feeling ill, being critical/distainful or bored? I couldn't tell.
